Working with Kat and David on their Volunteer Park Observatory Engagement photos was such a joy. I love to connect with my couples ahead of their wedding day. In fact, connecting with my couples is one of the cornerstones of my brand. One of the things most important about forming that connection is working with them on an engagement session. Kat and David are located in Portland, so I knew it would take a bit of advance planning to make their session happen ahead of their wedding. At one point, I was in Portland myself and reached out hoping they would be available to schedule their engagemen ..read more

I spent a beautiful weekend in San Clemente photographing Joanna & Donald’s wedding at San Clemente Shore by Wedgewood Weddings. This was a destination wedding for CBC, and one thing is for sure about my approach to capturing destination weddings. I like to be fully present for my couples!

This allows me time to scout surrounding areas for wedding portraits, work with my couple on their engagement session, and familiarize myself with the venue. I had previously met Joanna and Donald when I was hosting a round of mini-sessions ..read more

As a Seattle Wedding Photographer, I love having the opportunity to look back over the year to see what has come my way. Last year, when I reflected on 2022, I said that the approach for the year was gratitude. It’s safe to say, that hasn’t changed! In fact, I’ve come to realize that gratitude is one of my core values. Not just as a brand, but as a mom, friend, and colleague.  One of the venues we had the pleasure of working at during 2023 includes Ray’s Boathouse, where Marico & Chris were married. It’s a beautiful waterfront venue, and perfect for an intimate wedding in Seattle! I ..read more
