At my core, I’m deeply sentimental, holding onto moments, people, and places long after they pass. As a follower of God, my faith shapes the way I love—intentionally, thoughtfully, and with a deep desire to make the people I hold close feel truly seen through meaningful conversation, small gifts, and the details they might otherwise overlook.
a seattle wedding photographer for couples who value presence over perfection
I'm not here to stage your wedding into something it's not. My approach is rooted in honest connection - documenting the quiet in-between moments, the energy of your people, and the feeling of the day as it naturally unfolds.
Inspired by fashion, cinema, and documentary storytelling, I create imagery that feels elevated without losing authenticity. Photos that are both artful and deeply personal.
Your wedding experience matters just as much as the final gallery. I step in with guidance when needed and step back when moments deserve space - helping the day feel effortless, grounded, and fully lived in.
I deeply understand the weight of this work. Weddings are one of the few times people you love most are all together. As time passes, these photographs become more than memories - they become pieces of your legacy.
connection
first
I take time to understand you—how you love, what grounds you, and how you want your day to feel—so your experience is built on trust, ease, and familiarity from the very beginning.
Presence over performance
Your wedding day is not meant to feel rushed or performative. It is held with calm intention, allowing space for you to slow down, connect, and experience everything as it naturally unfolds.
Editorial-Driven
imagery
A refined documentary approach meets intentional composition—resulting in imagery that feels honest, elevated, and quietly timeless.

booking & planning
Once your date is secured, I guide you through timeline considerations and intentional planning so your wedding day feels natural, unhurried, and fully present.

frequently asked questions
My work blends documentary storytelling with an editorial approach - capturing honest, unscripted moments while offering gentile direction when needed. The result is imagery that feels both effortless and refined.
Generally, most couples choose 8-10 hours, covering getting ready through the start of open dancing. For a more relaxed pace or multi-location celebrations, full-day coverage allows for a more complete and unhurried experience.
Due to the large number of venues in our area, I regularly work at new spots. No matter what, I always arrive nice and early to scout out the best photo spots for your day. Lighting changes throughout the year so this is important, even if I’ve worked at your venue dozens of times.
For couple sessions, you'll receive your gallery within 4 weeks from your session date. For weddings, your completed gallery will be delivered between 12-16 weeks.

I'm both a guide and calming presence throughout your day. I prioritize connection so you can feel fully present, while documenting everything that organically unfolds.
what's it like working with you?
Beyond aesthetic, it's important to consider how your photographer makes you feel. You'll spend more time with them than most anyone else on your wedding day. A strong sense of trust, alignment, and easy often makes the biggest difference in both your experience and your final images.
we're comparing photographers, what should we look for?
Of course! You do not need to be getting married to book a portrait session with me.
Yes! A $1500 non-refundable booking retainer and a signed contract is all that's needed to reserve your wedding date in my calendar. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your date or we can break down your invoice into equal 1/4 payments.
All of my sessions and weddings include digital files only. However your gallery includes an online store where you can purchase prints, calendars, cards, etc. Your contract also serves as your printing right which gives you the right to print wherever you choose. Either way, please print your photos and don't let them collect "dust" on your computer!
I accept credit or debit payments directly via your invoice or payments through Zelle.

The biggest difference between intimate celebrations and wedding coverage is the style of your event. Wedding coverage is for more traditional celebrations that include your community joining in the party to dance the night away. Intimate celebrations are typically limited to you and your witnesses.
