Peter and Felix brought one hundred percent of their authentic selves to their wedding at Ray’s Boathouse and their friends and family LOVED it.
If there is one word I could come up with to summarize Akela and Billie’s late summer wedding at Falling Water Gardens, it would be joyful. The whole day these two beauties were smiling and giggling and screaming with laughter. They were giddy in love like it was a potion.
Nick and Franklin’s late summer wedding at Trinity Tree Farms near Seattle was nothing short of fae wonderland dreams.
In the weeks leading up to Wyatt and Miranda’s engagement session I was working myself up into an anxious mess about driving over the pass in late December. Every day I was obsessively watching the weather and the traffic cameras, predicting that the day we were due to do the sesison there would be a freak snow storm that only struck when I was crossing the pass. I actually eneded up borrowing a friends 4x4 just to make sure I was fully prepared. All of which came to nothing because the day I drove over the pass it was gorgeous clear blue skies and though there was snow on the ground there were two “ruts” that were clear to the ground. Basically it was absolutely no bother at all!
A few weeks ago Baylee sent me a message on Instagram to ask if I was available to capture her proposal at Treehouse Point, I of course said yes! I’ve wanted to capture love at Treehouse Point for forever so I immediately contacted them and set up a time for Baylee and a couple weeks later there we were!

Molly and Kenji’s engagement session at Carkeek Park could not have asked for better late summer weather if it had tried. The temperature was just right for walking around but not hot enough to draw everyone else to the park as well.
While I do have some favorite spots and go to’s for engagement sessions, it’s not often that I go to them back to back but that’s what happened last Fall with Point Defiance Park. One night I was there for Adam & Tony’s engagement session and the next night I was there for Pacifica and Evan’s engagement session.
I met Alex and Trevor at Discovery Park on a warm summer evening right before the Fall rains descended on us. Thankfully we managed to stay dry as we wandered around Discovery Park capturing their love and talking about their relationship.
When Grace reached out to me she told me that she was a bridesmaid at Carly & Ana’s wedding a couple years ago and I was like hmm I don’t recognize the name. But when I went back to their gorgeous day and matched her face to her name I instantly remembered what a fun person she was and so I was very excited for their engagement session!
When Reyna reached out to me to do a couple session and told me that she was planning to propose to her girlfriend during the session, I was of course VERY excited. We planned the session for a couple months, scoped out a few locations and discussed our strategy for signalling each other that it was time.
Dani & Michelle were supposed to be married by now but thanks to that thing they chose to reschedule to 2021, and then 2022 so they could have the wedding they wanted to. But since so much time had passed since their first engagement session, they decided to do a second engagement session at Kerry Park so that their final wedding invitations could include their newest family member!
I first met Karissa and Logan back in 2019 at Karissa’s sister Kayla’s wedding that I captured. A few months after Kayla & Tanner said I Do, Karissa reached out to me to see if I could capture her wedding, of course I said yes! Unfortunately then 2020 got in the way and they had to postpone their wedding but we still wanted to capture their engagement session while we were having the beautiful fall weather we had last year.
I was originally set to capture Mike & Josh’s wedding in September in Tacoma but then 2020 happened and they decided to forego a wedding and elope just themselves in Vegas. I wasn’t able to get there due to travel restrictions but they decided they still wanted to do couple photos here at their new home in Yelm
I think Jay & Josh can best be summed up by this story: I told them to walk away from me and then for Jay to lead Josh back to me by the hand. She took this to mean she was leading him like the witch leading Hanzel & Gretel to her house in the woods, complete with creepy walk and laugh. It had us all busting up with laughter because I did not expect it at all. But that is them to a tee, they’re always laughing, always smiling, never serious and they fit together so beautifully because of it.
