Engaged and feeling overwhelmed by the planning process? The truth is most wedding photographers enjoy being a resource for their couples. I know that I, personally, love to be involved the days leading up to my couple’s wedding day. Maybe you are in the early stages of planning or aren’t even engaged yet. Either way, […]

I spent two days in South Carolina this past December with the Hildebrands, documenting little rituals like bath time, and capturing their visit to Sullivan’s Island, a beach they frequent on sunny days. But even before taking photos, I ate with them, I sat with them, I talked to them about their lives. I walked […]

I’ve always dreamed of photographing a wedding at Kiana Lodge. I have family ties to this part of Washington and had been eyeing this venue online for quite sometime, hoping a nice couple would come along and swoop me for their wedding date.

Plus the place has a quaint cabin with lots of natural light; prime for getting ready photos. The venue feels intimate and romantic, everything a wedding should be.  […]

Taylor and Pete tied the knot at Alderbrook Resort, a place near and dear to my heart. Hood Canal is where my paternal grandfather bought our family beach house before I was born and is where my aunt and my 90 year old uncle now live (just a short 10 minutes from the venue). Over […]

Cathedral Park is one of the best locations for a wedding in Portland. I naturally fell in love with the light that filters through the trees and the tall standing bridge. Ali and Adam made the decision to have an intimate wedding. The day was slow paced with a loose timeline. Added bonus, we ate […]
