Destination Wedding Photography in the Seattle Area
Photographing a wedding means capturing not only how it looked, but how it truly felt
Weddings
A wedding is not just a celebration — it is a legacy of love, emotion, and timeless beauty.
My wedding photography is dedicated to preserving your day with refined elegance and intentional artistry. From the quiet anticipation to the heartfelt vows and joyful celebration, every moment is captured with sensitivity, grace, and an editorial eye.
I focus on authentic emotions, natural movement, and beautiful light — creating imagery that feels effortless yet elevated. Each photograph is carefully composed to reflect not only how your wedding looked, but how it truly felt.
This is storytelling for couples who value sophistication, meaning, and timeless aesthetics.
Images created to be cherished for generations — elegant, emotional, and enduring.

Engagements
Engagement is more than a moment — it is the beginning of your forever.
A quiet promise, a shared breath, a look that already knows the future.
My engagement sessions are created to capture the elegance of your love story in its most genuine form. Soft light, refined composition, effortless poses — every detail is thoughtfully curated to reflect your connection, your emotions, and your unique bond.
This experience is unhurried and intimate, allowing you to be fully present with one another while I preserve the beauty of your relationship with timeless, editorial-style imagery.
Photographs that feel natural yet elevated. Romantic yet modern. Luxurious yet deeply personal.
Your engagement session becomes not just a photoshoot, but a meaningful chapter — captured with grace, artistry, and intention.
Elopements
An elopement is an intimate celebration of love — pure, intentional, and deeply personal.
It is about choosing each other, away from expectations, in a moment that belongs only to you.
My elopement photography is designed to capture the quiet beauty and emotional depth of your day with refined artistry and timeless elegance. From subtle glances to meaningful vows, every detail is preserved with care, sensitivity, and an editorial approach.
I focus on natural moments guided by light, emotion, and atmosphere — allowing your story to unfold organically while creating images that feel effortless yet elevated. Photographs that honor authenticity, intimacy, and the profound connection you share.
Your elopement deserves to be remembered not only as a ceremony, but as a feeling — captured with grace, intention, and understated luxury.
