One of my favorite things that I offer is anniversary/post wedding sessions.
It could be 1 month, 3 months, or even a year after you say "I do" at the same location if you want it.

For Dave and Rupali, it was an excuse to dress up and wear the same rings that they slipped on each other's fingers...just with a little more life lived together in between.

My Enchanted Wedding/Elopement package includes a free anniversary session, so if that's something you are interested in, please reach out!

Can't stop thinking about this one 🤍.

First look or no first look? This is something I go over in every initial consultation call. I've shot it both ways, and I still can't tell you which one's better. It genuinely depends on you. Couples who skip the first look love the emotion of the aisle reveal. Couples who do it love having a few private minutes before everyone else shows up.

A first look means more time for portraits and a quieter, more private moment together before the day gets busy. No first look keeps that walk down the aisle as the big reveal, but it means a tighter window for photos right after. Neither one is wrong. It just depends on what matters more to you: more time, or more surprise.
Which one would you pick?

The energy before a wedding ceremony is unmatched.
It's usually chaotic but always full of love. Your bridal party is laughing one second and crying the next, and you're probably holding a mimosa in one hand with a bouquet in the other. We're here to capture it so you can just enjoy the moment. ❤

What's your bridal party's group chat name?
Drop it below. I need to know. 👀

There is something I LOVE about photographing rings.
Some have been family heirlooms for three generations. Some are vintage, and some are brand new, still catching the stylish eye. Whatever the style, I always ask to take a few minutes with the rings before the day gets busy. It's such a small detail, but it never gets old.

Matt and Vashti live in Indiana, but they wanted to say "I do" in Washington state, where they could surround themselves with the beauty of nature while celebrating the beauty of their relationship together.

Before they booked my team for their micro-wedding, we got on a call. We talked through the timeline, the location, what was important to them, and what they were most excited for.
This call is part of every wedding and elopement we book because I want to get to know each couple beyond just emails. It's important to me that we are a good fit for each other.

If you are looking for your wedding/elopement photographer, reach out to schedule a discovery call to go over all the details and get a feel for what it would be like to work together!

There's something special about being surrounded by your favorite people when you say "I do".

At Mason and Elena's wedding, you could feel the love and energy in the room. Their family and friends were so thrilled to celebrate them, and every photo shows it.

More to come from this sweet wedding day!

Before the dress met the aisle, there was this. 🤍

The hands helping with buttons. The quiet nerves. The last look in the mirror before everything changes.
These moments right here are some of my favorite to capture on a wedding day, because they're real. It's the calm before the celebration. This part of the day goes by fast, so I try to slow it down through the lens.
The lighting streaming through the window, the little laughs between best friends, the way a mom gets a little teary zipping up the dress. It's all part of the story.

Elena and Mason are literally one of the sweetest couples we've ever worked with.

Their wedding was the most heartwarming celebration of love, and with each photo, I hope you can feel the absolute joy of the day resonating through.
They said "I do" while surrounded by their closest friends and family at .

Their wedding was in April, and if you've lived in the PNW for very long, you know that the weather can be pretty unpredictable that time of year. But for their sweet garden tea party-themed wedding, the sun came out beautifully during their ceremony and stuck around for the rest of their beautiful day. Here's to a beautiful life together! 🥰
