The Experience

You won't regret making your day about you and your partner, and not about catering to a huge, budget-busting guest list, venue and extensive vendors. But I don't have to convince you of that. You know WHAT you want. You're here to decide WHO you want to document your vision.

I’m a clean edit, editorial storytelling photographer. What does this mean? I have spent years honing my photography skills to capture the cleanest, sharpest images with mostly true to life color. What is an editorial storytelling photographer? A blending of fashion-magazine aesthetics with authentic love to create intentional, artistic images. Emphasizing movement, light, shadow, and thoughtful composition for a curated feel, the goal is to mix careful posing with genuine emotion and interactions for an elevated final gallery. I want to tell your story by prompting compelling posing. I want to guide you with carefully planned interactions that result in images that can stand alone. I want every photo you share with your people to have its own wow-factor, and to show you in the most flattering light. This doesn’t mean I don’t focus on the details. I absolutely adore finding the smaller aspects of you and creatively rounding out your gallery. But I strive for those images to be able to stand alone as well.

I selectively choose black and white edits for special moments — a touch, expression, or movement — that can be elevated by the simplicity of monochrome. Often these edits are singled out, and occasionally a duplicate of their color counterpart, because sometimes they are equally beautiful. I don’t follow photography trends. I am not light and airy (overexposed). I don’t add a green, blue, orange or yellow tint to your images. And I wont be turning everything brown. I strive for bold color accuracy with contrast and creamy neutrals. You should not anticipate a gallery full of crooked horizons, blurry, out of focus images, or unintentional motion blur. I choose moments when these techniques should be applied, and use them sparingly. Trends are constantly evolving and aging. These photos are the lasting memories you hand down for generations. Those memories deserve clarity and quality.

I love adventuring with eloping couples. It fills my cup. I specialize in Snoqualmie, Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park area elopements, micro-weddings, proposals and engagement sessions. I am all over Washington to mid-Oregon primarily but always open to travel. My hobbies are editing, creative shoots, and capturing couples in beautiful places. Basically all photography all the time. Hey, love what you do and all that right?
