laura + travis
love in bend, oregon
i had the honor of shooting this beautiful wedding in bend, oregon at the gorgeous tetherow resort! i love travelling throughout the pnw for weddings!
laura and travis are outdoor enthusiasts so the setting was perfection. the weather on the day of the wedding didn’t cooperate as planned, and things were moved inside, but the rain cleared up periodically and we had a chance to shoot some outdoor portraits and catch an amazing sunset! this wedding was a blast and had the most epic first dance in history. the guests joined in as well and literally broke the dance floor!!! it was great fun and i wish laura and travis many happy trails!

love in redmond, wa
civil ceremonies deserve amazing photography too! this is a perfect example of a bride and groom who valued excellent photography and hired me for a customized elopement package for their civil ceremony + bridal and family portraits directly after their ceremony.
sam’s family flew out from montreal for the intimate affair and everyone was so very happy. i was extraordinarily honored to witness their nuptials by a fantastic judge at the redmond courthouse. let me tell you, he was hilarious and sweet - and it was one of the best ceremonies i have attended!
afterward we took all family and friends over to the park next door for portraits and i kept the couple a little extra time for bridals. we *had to finish our time up at redmond city hall because that building is *stunning and we grabbed a few of my most very favorite environmental portraits i have ever taken! :)
so please- ladies and gents! if a huge wedding isn’t your thing, hire a pro to document it! you’ll be so happy in twenty years that you will have these fond memories to cherish forever.
i do accommodate customized elopement packages to fit within modest budgets, so contact me today and let’s make something special happen on your once in a lifetime day!

love in seattle, wa
such an amazing day we had in late spring to celebrate lina and xavier’s nuptials! we had already had an incredible engagement session a few months earlier, so had a chance to get to know each other a bit, which always makes things go more smoothly. this is why i always include an engagement session with all of my wedding packages! anyway, back to the lovely couple at hand…
the morning started off at the bride’s house with a traditional vietnamese tea ceremony. it was so beautiful! it is such a privilege for me to witness and document cultural traditions like this. after that we headed over to the beautful washinton arboretum for the first look and bridal portraits and had a fun time horsing around, which is my favorite way to attain authentic and joyous group photos! the last stop was the gorgeous lake union cafe for the ceremony and reception. everything was so beautiful and fun and i was able to capture some of my very favorite dance shots i have ever taken. what an amazing group of friends and family, which is no surprise as lina and xavier are just the sweetest! many blessing to the happy couple1
