After their scenic portrait session at Lake Crescent, Rebecca and Chris traveled back to a private family property in Sequim for their charming backyard ceremony and reception. The word “backyard” doesn’t quite do the setting justice! Not many backyards feature a grove of huge arching maple trees and a stunning view of the Olympic Mountains, […]

Although the seasons were just changing and the day dawned with a breath of autumn fog, Kourtney & Brian’s wedding day was bright and green with summer’s joy. Kourtney and Brian were married in a family friend’s backyard against a backdrop of soaring Pacific Northwest firs. Their rustic, down-to-earth wedding day featured a gorgeous antique […]

I can hardly believe it happened—the little boy I grew up with is a grown-up married man, with a gorgeous lady he can call his wife. Wife! I know he wakes up and looks at her every morning with stars in his eyes. This kid is a hopeless romantic, ya’ll, and Angela is set to […]

Driving up to Lake Quinault feels like a scene from a movie. Down a winding little road off Highway 101, under arching firs dripping with moss, the gleaming blue water of Lake Quinault twinkling between the trees. The lodge is tucked alongside the road, with a little pull-through driveway and white mullioned windows with green […]

There are some places and adventures that leave a lingering feeling in your chest, a breathless awe that takes you out of your normalcy and for an instant, reminds you of the scale of the word and your place in it. These images take me right back there, to an open boat speeding across dark […]

Some days are the kind of days you fall asleep re-living, and you wake up the next day in disbelief that the day prior actually happened. Taylor and Ryan’s engagement shoot was one for the record books. I love when a couple is up for an adventure, so when Taylor suggested a trek up to […]

Port Angeles, Washington, was a perfect location for Elizabeth & Nathan’s sweet winter wedding on the Olympic Peninsula. The historical detail in downtown Port Angeles provided a lovely backdrop for classic portraits of the bride and groom near the waterfront. At the ceremony, beautiful brick and bare winter branches added a layer of texture to simple, rustic […]

Guys, I’m gonna be a wreck at this wedding. I love these two so, so much! I’ve only known Angela for a couple months, but the joy she brings into Lucas’s life is tangible. Getting a chance to see them building their future and their lives together is beyond priceless. When Lucas asked me to […]

I can’t think of anything lovelier than an summer wedding in a garden; Kate & David held their July nuptials at Fern Hollow, in Sequim Washington, in the foothills of the Olympic Mountains. Surrounded by the chatter and laughter of her vivacious bridesmaids, Kate made her bridal preparations in a private suite in the main house […]

Oh, yum! Organizing this blog post quite literally made my mouth water! After a day of wedding photography, which often involves serious gymnastics and some cardio for good measure, I’m not ashamed to admit I indulge in a piece (sometimes two—shhhhh!) of wedding cake. Or cupcake. Or pie. I’m an equal opportunity dessert enthusiast. A big […]
