I was so excited when Nikki e-mailed me about her wedding last winter. She had been a bridesmaid in two of her best friend’s wedding’s that I shot and attended a third. I was familiar with her and Levi but I was even more excited when she told me their story. They had known each […]

When we got to Rein Fire Ranch around 10am it was already sweltering and smoke filled the skies. The venue owners were working hard to make sure everything was well watered and looking lush and green, and they did an amazing job – it immediately felt like we had stepped into a garden. As the […]

When Ashleigh and Malik asked me asked me to be their wedding photographer for their elopement in the Lake Quinault Rainforest, to say I was excited would be an understatement. I was thrilled! Lake Quinault is the exact spot Charlie and I tied the knot almost five years ago, and it has been special to […]

I have to say… This was the first time I’ve ever photographed a couple who met online from separate countries and fell in love. The majority of their guests were also friendships that formed online and have maintained for years – literally flying in from all across the country to celebrate their two friends. It […]

In many ways, this was my dream wedding that I never even knew about. Not only were the details to die for (gold sequin dresses? I mean, come on), but the bride had been in a previous wedding of mine and gave me her complete trust, which always makes the experience amazing. From the moment […]

They chose the gorgeous Alderbrook Resort and Spa in Union, WA and took advantage of the rustic lodge, deep green forests, and dreamy beach front for […]

When we first met Mark and Nicole for dinner in Capitol Hill, I knew that this was going to be a fun couple… and I was right! Usually a couple falls either on the more romantic side or more on the goofy side, but these two were right in the middle. We hopped fences and […]

Keith and Tara’s classic, Seabrook wedding was a lot different than our usual gig, but it was so perfect! The entire wedding day was relaxed and carefree, and you could tell all the bride and groom were concerned about was each other. Their beautiful, simple color palette of lavender and sage blended so well with […]

Jordan and Maddy’s sunny, June wedding was an intimate and heartfelt affair. The Leifer Manor’s simple, garden style set-up was the perfect backdrop for the bride and groom’s classy and chic taste. The midday sun was on our side as we captured their first look in a nearby field and portraits at an abandoned farmhouse. […]
