Beau Lodge in Bellingham meets all criteria for a dream venue. I’m bias but give me endless nature trails to explore with my couples and I’m happy. 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 […]

Upper Queen Anne holds significance for Stacy and Braden, which worked perfectly because I know this area well and have enjoyed shooting around Parson Gardens before. Unique homes, trees draping over the street, and palms making us feel like we’re somewhere far away from the Seattle Rain. We met for happy hour at Via Tribunali, […]

Long overdue! A few of my favorites from my Indian wedding in Mumbai/Day After Sesh In Udaipur. Laura and Kunal are the sweetest humans and various moments throughout this three day experience brought tears to my eyes. This culture is so rich, committed, colorful, passionate and unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my entire life. […]

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how I can be more intentional with my couples. Photographing couples in a way that makes them feel comfortable has always been a top priority for me, so about a year ago I created my “pep talk strategy”.  My go-to method that promotes vulnerability and openness.

During Britt and Julio’s wedding, I took a moment, away from their reception. Walked out to water and watched the waves crash down on the beach. And then looked up at the stars; a dome of lights so much brighter than I’ve ever seen, burying my feet deep into the sand…and let my tear have […]
