More than Documentation

You’ve put a great deal of thought into your wedding, and you want your photographs to reflect that. Not just a record of what happened, but images that capture the beauty, atmosphere, and emotion of the day with the same level of care you’ve given to everything else.

I specialize in editorial wedding photography throughout Seattle and the greater Puget Sound, combining film and digital photography with a planning process designed around your celebration. We’ll spend time beforehand talking through what matters to you, your plans, and where photography can make the most of the setting, light, and moments you’ve created. That preparation gives me a clear understanding of what you’re looking for and gives you the confidence to enjoy your wedding knowing the photography has been thoughtfully taken care of.

The Difference

Editorial Images. A Real Wedding Experience

The best wedding photography comes from knowing when to create a photograph and when to let one unfold. I’ll guide you when direction will make the image stronger, step back when the moment is better left alone, and work with your planner and creative team so photography fits naturally into the day.

The goal isn’t to turn your wedding into a photoshoot. It’s to give the photography enough attention before and during the wedding to create images that feel elevated without losing what made the day yours.

Designed Before the Day

The photography is planned around your actual wedding, not added to the timeline as an afterthought. We consider your priorities, the setting, light, timing, portraits, and the moments you most want preserved so we know where to make room for great photographs.

Guided When It Matters

You won’t be left wondering what to do in front of the camera. I’ll give you clear, natural direction when it will improve the photograph, while leaving room for the genuine moments that happen between the planned ones.

In Step With Your Team

Your photographer is one part of a much larger creative team. I work closely with planners, florists, venues, videographers, and other vendors to keep photography aligned with the way your celebration is being created.
