I truly believe that wedding photography is important. I’ve seen the joys of families reliving the fleeting moments of an elopement celebration. I’ve felt the hearache of knowing that the last good photo of a loved one taken too soon. I’ve reconnected with my own partner over the story of the day we vowed our lives together.

Whether that day is a sunrise mountaintop elopement in the Cascades, the Olympic Peninsula, your parent’s backayrd or a large ceremony at a venue in Seattle, that guiding light of authenticity will tell your story through photography. I often say that I’m a “people photographer.” While I love the pageantry and beauty of weddings, the story I’m excited to tell is about the humans who inhabit those dresses and suits. I love hearing individual stories and seeking out the depth a sacred day can hold. My job is to capture those memories that people want to remember their whole lives.

As a Seattle wedding photographer, I’ve learned that photographing weddings well is less about chasing moments and more about understanding pacing, light, and how a day actually flows. Where a ceremony happens and how guests move through a venue matters, which is why I spend time getting to know Seattle wedding venues beyond how they look in photos.

What keeps me drawn to weddings is the balance they require. Knowing when to guide and when to step back. Knowing that a sunset photo session is often as much about taking a short walk to reset as it is about making images in good light. Those choices shape how the day feels and how it’s remembered.
