This beautiful intimate wedding took place in the backyard, right by the river with mountains as the backdrop.

A. and J., originally drawn to Olympic National Park for their elopement, discovered through planning that their love for city life and foodie adventures made Seattle a better fit. Embracing the flexibility of elopements, they shifted their plans to enjoy Seattle’s unique restaurants, architecture, and vibrant atmosphere.

This May elopement in Olympic National Park will be remembered for a long time. Not just for its beauty and emotion. A few weeks after the ceremony, the groom sent me a photo of his arm—a large tattoo of one of my photos on his shoulder. That message made my day.

It was a sunny August day, perfect for a mountain elopement. Nature was still in full bloom, with long daylight hours.

This adventure elopement at Olympic National Park was a full-day celebration, filled with personal touches, emotional moments, and picturesque locations, ending with a rainy but joyful ceremony on Ruby Beach surrounded by loved ones.

When I stumbled upon an old, rusted car in the forest, it sparked an idea for a photo session.

K. wore a cast for months and used a wheelchair. To lift her spirits, I set up this photo session with her husband.

The nautical theme of this intimate wedding and the choice of a yacht were no coincidence. The bride is the daughter of a sailor, and the groom is a retired Navy officer.

This sweet and photogenic couple chose to have their romantic photo session with their two dogs.

It was an intimate gathering: just the bride, groom, two of the groom’s brothers, and the bride’s brother and sister. Each guest played a part in both the preparation and the ceremony.

E. and C. had lots of personal details in their elopement’s decoration, including their names and wedding date. They couldn't bring their dogs, cat, and turtle to the ceremony, so to be together with them their pets' faces were engraved on the groom's cufflinks and the bride's bracelet.

This was the most unusual engagement photoshoot I've ever done, and I even won an award for “Best of the best engagement” from Junebug Magazine for it!

This shoot was planned for this lovely couple's 15th wedding anniversary. Over the years, they have participated in many photo sessions and tried many looks. So on this day, they just wanted to have fun and enjoy the experience.

This day perfectly illustrates my belief that there is no bad weather for an adventure photo session.

A. and N., visiting Seattle from Texas for their anniversary. A. planned a surprise proposal with my help in selecting the location and capturing the moment.

K. & R. wanted a romantic photo session with wind turbines in the background. You don't have to ask me twice when it comes to wind turbines!

Visitors from all over the country come to our region for its natural beauty and to see locations from David Lynch's cult series, Twin Peaks.

K. & V. got married during the peak of COVID-19. Their formal ceremony had to be canceled, even though everything was ready.

I love watching and photographing wind turbines. They add a lot of energy to any photo session.

This wedding left a lasting impression on me because of its tenderness and family atmosphere.
