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.
