Pacific Northwest wedding & elopement photographer

Capturing 

As your Seattle & Portland based PNW wedding and elopement photographer, my goal is to make this whole experience feel easy, natural, and very you. Whether you're planning a laid-back celebration in Seattle, a mountain top elopement near Portland, or something totally off-the-map, I’m all about capturing the real stuff — the in-between moments, the deep breaths, the can’t-stop-smiling kind of love. My couples often say they chose me for the relaxed, documentary feel of my work and because they felt instantly understood during our consults— your moments matter.

I’m McKenzie — your laid-back, hype-you-up, make-it-feel-easy, “Hell yes!” wedding and elopement photographer based in the PNW. If you’re looking for someone who just gets you, that’s where I come in. I’m here to listen to what matters most to you, create space for the unscripted moments, and help you actually enjoy your day without feeling like you’re stuck in a never-ending photoshoot. From the first Zoom call to your final gallery, I’ve got your back — timeline assistance, emotional support, and all the little in-betweens included.
