My goal is to capture events as they naturally unfold: real moments and emotions. I try to blend in and document what is naturally occurring on your day without too much direction or posing until we get to the formals.

Formals and photoshoots are lightly posed, meaning I’ll help get you into place first and then encourage interaction and real expressions by directing you with conversation, play, and prompts to help you engage with each other and capture that authenticity we love. 

I make sure to get a mix of both camera aware photos (everyone looking at the camera) as well as the candid documentary story of your day or session. 

Vibe check! If I'm gonna be your professional third wheel we need to first establish if we'll be a good fit for each other or not, amiright?

First, check out my gallery and see if my aesthetic style resonates with you and matches you're vision! This ones important. Read about my photography style and approach to your day/session above and see if you're cool with that. Read the nice words my clients have said about working with me (without me even having to pay them!).

We'll get along if wedding photography is something that is immensely important to you. My clients are pretty laid back and cool with PDA. They're willing to let go, have fun, and trust my direction (no matter how silly it may seem) to get those authentic images.

Probably 80 to 90 percent of the clients you see on my website told me that they were awkward and un-photogenic. 

Part of what will help ease your worry is an engagement session!. Once people get their images back, they’re so much more confident and relaxed about being photographed on their wedding day and they trust that I’ll do a good job. 

I'm a black belt at helping people feel comfortable, and I specialize in the camera-proud and the camera-shy alike.

And I want you to know and understand something: we always notice our own flaws WAY more than anyone else may notice them - if they even notice at all.

All kids see when looking at a photo of their mother is their beautiful mom. All your partner see's when looking at a photo of you at your engagement or wedding, is how much they love YOU.

They don't see what you see. They just see someone they love. Always try to remember that.

I keep a number of backup dates for my photoshoots in case of bad weather or unforeseeable circumstances. There is no fee to reschedule to a new date if it’s raining or if someone gets sick. However, I'm always down if you are to do a rainy day, clear umbrella photoshoot too!

Washington weather is notoriously unpredictable and changes very quickly, so I typically don't like to call off a shoot until the morning of the session. I always keep a close eye on the weather days before a shoot and will keep you posted!

And if it rains on your wedding day - that's supposed to be good luck!! That's what I heard anyway. I have some super cute clear umbrellas that photograph really well, and we'll just end up making some steamy, romantic, intimate, true PNW style memories. :) I promise you wont be disappointed.

Don't fret, my love, I haven't yet not been able to attend a wedding. :) But, as with any supplier, it is possible an emergency or illness could prevent me from attending your wedding (I'd have to be hella laid up though if that's ever the case).

In this VERY unlikely event, I will do my utmost to find a similar style photographer replacement from my trusted network of professional wedding photographers. In my experience from what I've seen within my network, there is always a talented photographer available to help if needed last minute.

If this is not possible, then the final, and absolute worst and last case scenario is that I will refund the money you have paid me.

Knew it.
