The most honest illustration of how you feel, see & love each other.

I serve the state of Washington, but I personally favor locations that are meaningful, intimate, and small-scale.

I mainly serve areas in Woodinville, Redmond, Bellevue, and Snohomish.

If you’re outside of Washington State or somewhere a little farther, let me know in the inquiry form.

I’d love to talk about it.

The short answer:

That’s what photography and writing mean to me. A marriage of who we are while we’re still alive, to be cherished and preserved long after our souls drift off into the universe.

The longer answer…

Because I often think about what lingers long after we’re gone. I find so much beauty and happiness in the melancholy.

The sad. The happy. The emotional. The pain. The tears, and the laughter. The words we’re often afraid to say and wish we did when we had the chance.

It’s all sacred to me.

I treasure the feeling of someone’s eyes on you. I value the conversations experienced in passing, with strangers and those in love. I believe there is nothing more important to remember than the seconds we take for granted.

This is a huge influence on my work. It took years to find it, but yes, while it might feel “morbid” to some, my intention is to reveal the moments that feel odd today and timeless tomorrow.

If that resonates with you, I have a question for you:

Why haven’t we grabbed a coffee yet?

Narrative design is a term that originated in the video game industry, meant to create interactive experiences within the creation itself.

I’m using this philosophy to translate love stories into custom storybooks that tie your origins, your background, and your relationship to the photographs we take together.

Because while I do believe photographs often don’t “need” words to supplement…

I think there’s profound beauty in showcasing your story with both.

I focus on elopements and intimate weddings only because those are the celebrations, couples, and types of people I serve best. When I relate to my couples, it creates much more meaningful work compared to celebrations I simply can’t invest all of my energy into.

If you want a photographer for your large wedding, that’s wonderful, and I’m more than happy to refer you to someone else who can bring your vision to life.

Short answer: both.

I’m a very minimal photographer by nature. I photograph every celebration with digital and one roll black and white film at the very least, and will often bring other point-and-shoot film cameras to add variety and play around with the setting.

You can expect to see me with one digital camera, one point-and-shoot film camera, and—if the gods allow—my Polaroid camera to add candid artistry to your day.

What doesn’t? In all seriousness, I’m deeply inspired by classic cinema, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, music from masters like Vivaldi, film scores, and photography that has nothing to do with weddings.

I like venturing outside of my field to find inspiration.

If I’m being honest with you—the only thing scarier to me than never pursuing my ideas, is to pursue ideas that are just like everyone else’s.

Hard to pick, but if I had to…

Tàr. A remarkable film I’m comfortable calling my favorite. It follows the story of a world-renowned conductor who falls into a spiral of her own choosing. I recommend it to everyone.

The Brutalist. An extraordinary, beautiful exploration of the American Dream, architecture, and the mind of a gifted artist facing severe trauma and identity.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire. A raw, emotionally powerful French film that explores two women—a painter, and her subject—who fall for one another while fighting off the inevitable.

Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss. Probably the most emotionally impactful sculpture I’ve ever seen in person. The story, the love, and the underlying tragedy are all molded into marble with such meticulous detail that it’s unbelievable it was crafted by human hands.

The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Gates of Hell by Auguste Rodin. While I’m drawn to the romance of Cupid and Psyche in the sculpture I talked about above, the darkness, melancholy, and drama found within Rodin’s work is nothing short of brilliant—and forever inspiring.

P.S. Once we get on a call, I’ll be asking you about your favorite pieces of art, so be prepared ;)

Look, there are countless photographers for small weddings and elopeemnts who are outstanding with their craft. You can find a dozen of them in the Seattle area alone.

But if you’re looking for the only experience that combines combines the art of photography with intentional narrative design…

This is a better option for you.

Your relationship doesn't need a dramatic backdrop.

It needs documentation in the spaces where you actually exist together.

I’m a writer first, and photographer second—and I believe this serves the right couples the way they deserve. That is the difference.
