Love Stories

This whole Cannon Beach engagement photos adventure started as a “small world” moment. I went to school with Kellen. Fast forward a few years, and I meet Michaela at the Three Rivers Bridal Show—she’s glowing, full of wedding excitement, and the kind of person who instantly makes you want to be her friend. When they […]

Okay, I know we all say we love love, but watching Kendall and Nick’s first look at The Greenhouse on Harvard was a true attempt at not smudging my mascara. There’s just something about two people seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day. Kendall looked like an ethereal fairy queen, and […]

Sunlight, saguaros, and just the two of them — this Arizona elopement portrait session was a full-on love letter to the desert (yes, even from someone who already lives in the desert part of Washington). Morgen and Jesse met me out in Scottsdale for this editorial-style shoot at Camelback Mountain, and the vibes were immaculate. […]

Dane and Bettina’s Washington winery wedding at Terra Blanca was effortless in the best way. Terra Blanca always delivers. Pretty stone walls, moody fall light, and rows of grapevines make you feel like you’re in the Italian countryside rather than Eastern Washington. It was one of those crisp PNW spring days. The trees were turning, […]

Feeling the pressure to pick a venue? I get it. Choosing your wedding venue is kind of like trying to pick a Netflix show with your partner—except instead of wasting 30 minutes scrolling, you’re potentially blowing tens of thousands of dollars and setting the entire tone of your day: no pressure or anything. If you’re […]

Promise Garden in Pasco, WA, is a place that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into a secret garden while somehow still being roughly five minutes from your favorite taco truck. It’s just off Road 68 on Argent, but blink, and you’ll miss it—because this spot is tucked away behind lush greenery. If you’re dreaming […]

There’s nothing better than showing up to a wedding and already knowing some of the guests. I’ve photographed several of Alex and Tim’s friends over the years, so being asked to capture their day was a full-circle moment. Plus, I love a good Cle Elum wedding moment. We already had the best time during their […]

Let’s just say that not everyone wants to take bridal portraits while sweating through their dress, trying not to spill champagne on the timeline, and dodging relatives asking a million questions about their wedding. Rylan and David’s studio bridal portraits at Casa Blanca Tri-Cities had a different vibe—clean, calm, modern, and entirely on their terms. […]

You’re engaged! Cue the champagne and the mild-to-moderate panic about planning photos. If you’re anything like me, you want pictures that feel honest and beautiful. The Tri-Cities’ tumbleweeds and strip malls might not initially scream “romantic backdrop,” but I swear some absolute gems are hiding out here. I’m spilling my top four favorite engagement photoshoot […]

Let’s be real for a second: Engagement photos do not have to be stiff, formal, or painfully posed. You don’t need to stand in a field doing prom hands while wondering what to do with your face. (Unless that’s your thing—in which case, I support you. But also… there’s more.) Your engagement session should feel […]
