Warm, cinematic wedding photography for the wildly in love. Based in Snohomish, WA and traveling the PNW & West Coast.

Rooted in vintage artistry, capturing real, emotional, imperfect love as it’s lived.

Jessie & Caden are tying the knot this Saturday and I cannot wait to be there to celebrate them! Here are some of my favorite moments from their engagement session at Bellevue Botanical Garden.

These aren't just concepts I admire. They've become my actual working philosophy. They're the standard I hold myself to on every wedding day.

When I show up to photograph your wedding, I'm constantly running through this checklist—whether I'm actively shooting or sitting in front of my computer editing weeks later.

And it doesn't stop when the wedding day ends. When I'm editing, I'm still asking these questions.

Light, time, and memory. These three things show up in every single image I create for you. This is what I'm giving you when you hire me. Not just pretty pictures. A rigorous artistic standard rooted in photographic philosophy. Images built from light, time, and memory—so you can hold onto the most important day of your life exactly as it felt.

They got married, danced, and got out of there 🌿

Keith Carter is the one who inspired this series with: "The raw materials of photography are light, time, and memory." And his work is completely rooted in that last element—memory.

One of his most famous bodies of work is called "Uncertain to Blue." It started as a fun project with his wife, who loved to go on road trips and visit Texas towns with funny names. But what makes his work so powerful isn't just what he photographed but it's how he photographed it. There's a mood to his images. A feeling. They hold something deeper. They feel like memory itself, a little hazy, a little nostalgic, full of emotion.

There's actually a really good documentary about this work, and it's the reason my husband now enjoys photography as an art form. Because Carter's work isn't about technical perfection. It's about feeling.

And that's what I'm always thinking about when I'm photographing a wedding. I'm not just capturing what happened. I'm trying to create images that hold how it felt. It's the memory behind an image that takes it from being good photo to a deeply personal one.

Keith Carter taught me that photography is about more than documentation. It's about creating something that holds memory and that preserves not just the moment, but the emotion of the moment.

Samantha & Devin’s engagement session at Discovery Park was such a dream. These two—high school sweethearts and the most down-to-earth couple—were an absolute joy to hang out with.

Samantha was fully down for anything, even a vision that may or may not have been inspired by a little Twilight energy thanks to the weather. We started with sunshine, and within 10 minutes it shifted into a light sprinkle, then a full-on downpour—but we kept going, and honestly… it made everything even better.

Proof that a little rain never stands in the way of something beautiful. Congratulations you two!

Patsy & Matt | April 18, 2026

From a swipe-right that felt like a glitch in the universe to a love story built across states, hospital rooms, and quiet everyday adventures.

Their wedding day was proof that some connections are written across time, space, and everything in between.

Huge thank you to the incredible vendors who brought this day to life

Time, and the photographer who taught me about how to wait for the right time is Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Cartier-Bresson is famous for something he called "the decisive moment." It's this idea that in any scene, there's one perfect instant when all the elements align—when the composition, the emotion, the action, everything comes together in a way that will never happen again.

And his job as a photographer was to wait for it. To watch. To be patient. To be so tuned in to what was happening that he could anticipate that exact second and capture it.

This is where photography becomes more than just pointing a camera and pressing a button. It's about truly watching people interact. It's about being present enough to see the moment before it happens.

When I'm photographing a wedding, I'm not just documenting what's happening. I'm watching for those moments. The way someone's face changes right before they cry. The split second when a couple looks at each other and the rest of the world disappears.

Cartier-Bresson taught me that timing is everything. That sometimes the best thing I can do is wait. Be patient. Watch. And trust that the moment will come.

Remmy & Alana ferry engagement 🌊

From a WWU business law class to a life built side by side—these two have already navigated so much together and kept choosing each other through it all. A spontaneous extension of a work trip in Germany turned into a quiet, unforgettable proposal in the Alps, and now here they are—still grounded, still steady, still them.

Introverted by nature and not used to being in front of the camera, they showed up anyway and let the in-between moments do the talking.
A ferry ride, a little wind, and two people who make home out of anywhere together.

Strangers, marble staircases, and somehow the best photos of your life. Weird how that works.

Today, I want to introduce you to the photographer who taught me about light.

His name was Fan Ho. He was a Hong Kong street photographer in the 1950s and 60s, and his work completely changed the way I see light.

Fan Ho didn't just use light to illuminate his subjects. He used light as though it was a structure, like a building. His photographs revolve around light. The light isn't just there to make the image visible. It's the entire point.

He didn't hide from harsh light or wait for perfect golden hour conditions. He used whatever light was there and made it the most important element in the frame.

And that completely shifted how I approach photography. Before I start any session, one of the first things I do is scout the light. I'm not just looking for "good light"... I'm looking for how the light is moving, where it's coming from, how it's shaping the space.

Fan Ho taught me not to be afraid of light. To lean into it. To let it be bold and dramatic and structural.
