Adam & Kathy’s Venice Beach engagement session was like nostalgia heaven. A long time ago, I used to live in Venice, right on the beach. I rode my cruiser, went to yoga on the daily, and wore nothing but flip flops. So wandering around Abbot Kinney last month with Adam & Kathy was a blast from the past. These two are crazy in love and kind beyond words. I have always loved coming back to L.A. and getting to photograph this Venice Beach engagement in a place that brings back so many memories made it that much better. I can’t wait until their wedding at Dairyland this year! For another f ..read more

“Authenticity is the practice of letting go of who we think we’re suppose to be and embracing who we are.” Brene Brown Paige is inspiring in many ways, but her confidence and ability to completely let go for her boudoir session blew my mind. We kept things personal and shot in her gorgeous airbnb home. This session was crazy fun and elevated my work to a new level. Paige is the very definition of beautiful in every way. I’m grateful for her trust and for sharing in the many emotions as we drew on the day’s last light. The post Home | Paige | Boudoir Session appeared first on SASHA ..read more

One of my favorite things about PNW elopements is all of the gorgeous outdoor locations that couples can choose from. From forests to lakes to mountains, Washington scenery never disappoints! For their elopement, Michelle and Derek planned for two different locations. We started off at a secret spot in the forest at Rattlesnake Lake. The couple brought their Labradoodle along as a witness and he definitely photobombed during the ceremony making for the most adorable first kiss photos! After they exchanged vows, they held a Chinese tea ceremony to symbolize the union of their families and we to ..read more

It’s no secret that one of my favorite wedding venues in Washington is JM Cellars! Located just outside of Seattle, this family-owned Woodinville winery provides a cozy, intimate atmosphere making it the perfect location for wine lovers planning a PNW wedding! The winery is nestled in the forest and surrounded by Japanese maple trees giving the space a romantic, intimate feel, perfect for a micro-wedding! I love spending time with my couples before the big day. Engagement sessions are the perfect time to get to know each other and get comfortable in front of the camera. Zach & Emily did th ..read more

There are a few reasons why Americans rattle off these two when asked to name a few Canadian national parks: proximity is likely to be one reason, and the other is simply epicness. We’re a bit spoiled in the US, with parks like Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Zion in our backyard. Banff and Jasper, however, will make your jaw drop and your breath catch just like our jewels do. Of course, there are many amazing times and fun ways to do these parks, so I’m just jotting down what this photographer considers to be the best of the bunch. And even though I’m giving you recommendations on how much time t ..read more

Where do I even begin with Grace & Max’s SODO Park Seattle wedding? These two are incredible humans and I love working with them any chance I get. When they first reached out, I couldn’t contain my excitement. First off, I was dying to photograph a SODO Park Seattle wedding. Second, I had worked with Herban Feast in the past so I knew this would be an amazing event. Grace & Max’s enthusiasm and positivity paired with the Herban Feast team was a true delight. This wedding’s schedule was also super different. The ceremony and dinner were intimate with only their closest friends and famil ..read more
