Where do I even begin?! Working with Jordan and Megan was one of my favorite collaborations of 2024, and that is an understatement.

Albeit, every wedding and elopement and marriage ceremony is special, this one was my “royal wedding” because it was the day my “baby” brother got married to one of my favorite girlies (and gave me a sister) <3

This is the family session that lives rent free in my mind—open space, a horse, cutie bb and a happy fam, say less

At the start of this year, I went to see my parents for the holidays, and we spent some time diving into their family photo albums … and the amount of film that they had was crazy—an actual treasure.

Homecoming days are my favorite days!!! especially as a member of the Navy community myself, it feels even more special because I sincerely empathize with the partners waiting on their service member’s return. The seemingly endless nights of dinners alone, being on opposite time zones,

All parties lucked out with this collaboration. I’m based on Whidbey Island, WA (aka, northern Washington, not the Oregon Coast), and Jordan and Megan were looking for a location to shoot their engagement photos, but they were coming from northern Oregon.

Summer in Washington + a variety of film cameras + Jake and Cate’s iconic wedding outfits + a lot of jokes = the photos from this silly and goofy golden hour on Whidbey Island

please enjoy

A quiet Sunday afternoon elopement surrounded by your closest friends with an Italian dinner to follow … yet another reminder that you can get married however you want!!!

WELCOME HOME

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and again forevermore), that being invited into a couple’s military homecoming is one of the biggest honors in my work. Being a part of Chris and Marissa’s homecoming was no different, and so special.

Jacob and Kayla’s elopement morning around Deception Pass was quiet, sweet and sincere. They had just recently moved to Washington, and wanted a big wedding until they realized it felt like too much and just wanted to get married without all of the stressful logistics and hub-bub.

When Kevin initially inquired about collaborating together on his surprise proposal to Sarah, he said that he had a relaxing day trip planned for them. They were going to drive up from Seattle to bop around Anacortes and reminisce at one of their favorite parks (Washington Park) before he surprised her with a proposal at an area within the park.
