Just delivered H & J’s sneak peeks, and I’m still riding the high from this one.

Their two-day celebration was a documentary photographer’s dream. There were vibrant colors, special traditions, so many big feelings, nonstop dancing, and so much joy… it was everything I love about this job.

These are the kind of celebrations where I feel completely in my element. I got to be right in the middle of it all during the biggest moments. Then in the quieter in-between moments, I got to wander off on my own little scavenger hunt, looking for all the tiny stories unfolding in the crowd.

Thank you, H & J, for allowing me to tell your story the way that I saw and felt it. It was such a joy to experience it there alongside you.

A few from the tiniest guests’ perspective. ✨

One of my favorite things about weddings is watching how kids experience the day. The big emotions, the quiet moments, the endless curiosity, and yes, occasionally heading confidently the wrong way down the aisle.

A little glimpse of this wedding day through the eyes of a niece and nephew - and as a proud aunty myself, little micro-stories like these feel pretty special. 🤍

A little documentary photography nerd-out for ya.

One of my favorite techniques is following people’s eyes. More often than not, where someone’s looking will lead me to the emotion, reaction, or connection that gives a moment more depth.

It’s one of the ways I create images that feel immersive. Like you’re experiencing the moment alongside them, rather than just observing it from the outside.

It’s just one of many little things I’m paying attention to throughout a wedding day. If you’re curious, I recently wrote a blog post breaking down 10 documentary techniques I use all the time to create in the action, and emotion packed images. Link in bio :-)

Starting A&J’s recap with the dance floor because these people came to party!

A&J wanted a real day. Minimal posed stuff, and plenty of room for things to unfold.

The result? A whole lot of people fully in it. The energy was ridiculous, the hugs were aggressive, and every time I turned around someone was doing something worth photographing.

For a documentary photographer, that’s basically the dream.

I spent an evening with these two recently and left feeling like I’d gotten a glimpse into a really beautiful little world they’ve built together.

A world filled with bookshelves, meaningful art, coffee mugs, inside jokes, dance moves in the living room, and enough laughter that all three of us ended the night a little exhausted.

One of my favorite things about sessions like this is getting invited into moments that might otherwise go undocumented. Not the big milestones or highlight reel moments. Just the ordinary stuff that quietly becomes the foundation of a life together.

I loved getting to document this chapter of their story, and I absolutely cannot wait to photograph their wedding this fall. ❤️

This month especially, I’m reminded what a privilege it is to celebrate and document love in all its beautiful forms.

To my amazing couples and to all who celebrate - Happy Pride Month 🎉🌈🎉🌈

Sarah and Pete’s day at CCMI is proof that your wedding is full of little moments you simply can’t plan for. And those are the ones that end up mattering most.

This was one of them. It’s dinner time and they go through the buffet first. Nothing special, Sarah and Pete are just plating up food. And out of nowhere, their people start losing it. Standing, cheering, clapping, and fully hyping them up.

So Sarah and Pete lean in animatedly scooping up mashed potatoes like it’s a full performance.

I didn’t see it coming, but I was ready for it. These little micro stories are happening all over the place on every wedding day.

As a documentary photographer, these are the moments I live for. In 10 years when you’re flipping through your wedding album and you land on these ones, they’re the ones that are gonna make you laugh out loud and remember what it felt like to be there that day.

The Ruins will always be one of my favorite Seattle venues to photograph.

It’s both grand and intimate at the same time, full of lush details and old-world 1920s opulence that make a wedding there feel immersive and alive.

I just published a full guide that walks through the space room by room. Not just photos, but a real breakdown of how the venue functions and how a celebration can unfold inside it.

If you’re considering , this is the kind of post that helps you think through the flow and possibilities before you ever step inside.

The full room-by-room guide is live - link in bio 🤍

And a little love to who planned one of the weddings featured in the guide and brought the most magical Halloween masquerade concept to life in the space.

Sent their gallery on Valentine’s Day… and opened my inbox to this:

“Jess!!!! Happy Valentine’s Day!! Five years ago Jacob and I took a road trip to Powell’s Books - we weren’t even dating yet - and I remember standing in the mystery section wondering if we were going to kiss. Looking at these photos feels completely full circle. I’m verklempt at how perfectly you captured that feeling. It’s so clear we’re just as in love now as we were then. I honestly can’t remember ever being excited to see photos of myself… and now I cannot wait to share these!! You made us feel so comfortable and so special. This experience was absolutely incredible.”

I had to just sit there for a minute after reading this one. Messages like this hit me all up in my feels and remind why I love what I do so very much 🥹 Thank you .sara.ashour and Jacob for inviting me to witness your love and this special chapter of life. And thank you for letting us wander your shelves and recreate a little first-date magic.

Most photographers don’t love a ceremony that runs long. But they’re actually my favorite. More time just means more to notice …more light shifting through the stained glass, more quiet emotion, more unique angles, and more small moments that catch my eye. This ceremony was full of rituals that mattered deeply to the couple, and they told me beforehand how important it was that each part be documented. Being trusted to witness it that closely felt really special. This is where I feel most like myself as a photographer - just observing, letting things unfold, and knowing I’m never going to run out of something worth photographing.
