Outdoor elegance at Glen Acres Golf and Country Club I was a golf captain in high school and yet it still surprises me anytime couples want to get married at a golf and country club. Glen Acres however, really surpassed my expectations for Nathan and Kendall’s Wedding. Nestled in the hills of West Seattle, this…
Imagine… you’ve been searching for months for that perfect, secret garden feel for your garden wedding. Each venue you’ve visited boasted gorgeous florals, expansive pristine lawns or some other feature you dreamed of. But none of them came close to giving you that “I just walked into a storybook garden” feel you were looking for….
I don’t have the “typical” photographer story. I wasn’t in love with photography from a young age, nor did I grow up with a camera in my hand from the time I was three. In fact, I rarely took photos, and the camera only came out on the last day of school when I knew…
Northwest Trek is a wonderful adventure every time I get to visit. None of those previous visits compare to the way Katie and Tom’s Northwest Trek Wedding captivated everyone in attendance. So many things about this wedding would make even the coldest of hearts melt. When Katie and Tom first told me they were…

As a preferred vendor for the Rustic Romance that happens at Brookstom Creek, I’m always thrilled to hear my work was chosen by a bride. Angie (half of the husband/wife owner team) can easily tell when a bride belongs in my circle. So when she told me Amber was a perfect bride for me, I…

Our wedding packages are 6, 8, & 10 hours so I will use those as examples for the sample wedding timeline plans. The 3:30 pm Ceremony, 6 hour sample wedding timeline Since photography coverage is…
Let me start by saying: there is no right way to plan your wedding timeline. Seriously. You could talk to 100 photographers, wedding planners and wedding officials and be told three thousand different things. These are my favorite things to keep in mind when you’re planning your wedding day timeline. Typical Wedding Timeline Events: – Hair…
It’s hard to describe how much I love destination weddings, and even harder to explain the magic of photographing one alongside people who truly get you. When you find someone you click with—whether it’s a fellow photographer, a couple, or a breathtaking venue—you have to jump on the chance to make magic together. And if…
