Associate Photographers

Firstly, everything you receive when working with tmInspired associate photographers will reflect what you’ve already seen in our portfolio. Rather, you can browse sample galleries yourself and read their bios directly by scrolling down!

Additionally, we think that having your photo taken should be a fun and freeing experience. Rather than awkward and stuffy. You will be guided through the entire process, while still being given the freedom to act like yourselves. You don’t need to know a damn thing about taking photos! Because we’ve got you covered.

Madison
(She/her)
Based in Seattle, WA

Madison was born and raised in the PNW. She grew up bringing her point and shoot camera everywhere she went. Her passion continued into adulthood as she found the importance of capturing the big moments, small moments, and everything in between. Madison is a mom to two wonderful kids, is a lifelong vegetarian, and will always have a love for The Beatles. She values telling a detailed story through her photographs.

Ashley
(She/her)
Based in Seattle, WA

When Ashley isn’t behind the camera, you can find her either on the trails with her husband and wonder dog or haunting a local bookshop. Ashley will be the first to admit that she spends WAYYY too much time on Tiktok for someone who is 30, but she likes to think that it keeps her “hip with the kids”. If you like Star Wars, books, dogs, or Diet Coke, it’s safe to say that you will probably be instant friends. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.

Jacque
(She/her)
Based in Seattle, WA

Jacque grew up in Western Washington and enjoyed being surrounded by the evergreens and the ocean. She now lives in Eastern Washington and gets to appreciate the valleys and deserts of that region! She is passionate about dogs, adventure, sunshine, and love stories. As a wedding photographer since 2017, her main focus is making sure each couple feels comfortable, confident and celebrated while she captures their big day. As a new momma, she finds herself seeking out more honest and candid moments to help seal real memories into the form of a photo. Your love story deserves to be celebrated deeply and fiercely!

Kris L.
(He/Him)
Based in Seattle, WA

Kris is a Houston transplant, so prepare to hear “y’all” frequently during your sessions. Since 2015, he has been delving deep into couples’ stories to better showcase their love. His empathetic approach places the focus squarely on you, prioritizing your journey to marriage above all else. You can count on him to provide comfort before your first look and bring boundless energy to the dance floor. When he’s not at weddings, you’ll likely spot Kris capturing candids on the streets of Seattle, discovering new restaurants and antique stores with his wife, or simply enjoying leisurely drives around Washington, falling more in love with the PNW. Click here to view his tmInspired sample gallery.

Hannah
(She/Her)
Based in Portland, OR

Hannah grew up in Utah, with a camera almost always in her hands. For the last 4 years, she has been living in Hawaii, where she officially became a full time photographer. Now based in Portland, she’s found the perfect blend of forest trails, misty coastlines, and creative community. She’s passionate about helping people feel seen and celebrated just as they are. When she’s not photographing weddings or families, she’s likely out walking her Australian shepherd, teaching voice and piano lessons, or playing board games with her husband. At every session, Hannah brings calm energy, honest encouragement, and a knack for making people feel instantly at ease. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.

Kris O.
(She/Her)
Based in Portland, OR

Kris grew up on Oahu island of Hawaiʻi with a disposable camera in hand from her earliest memory, at the age of seven. Now that she is in Portland, she is soaking up everything that the PNW has to offer. Her passion for photography actually stems from working to overcome her own insecurities in being photographed. She works hard to make sure that everybody and every-body feels beautiful when they work with her. Her hobbies include experimenting through cooking in the kitchen (her go-to first impression dish is her take on Japanese curry!) and creating TikTok content of her fur family. At every wedding and portrait session, Kris is the professional hand holder, shoulder to cry on, and ultimate hype woman. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.

Dani
(She/her)
Based in Portland, OR

Dani fell in love with photography after her parents bought her a crappy 3 megapixel camera in the hopes it got her off of World of Warcraft (It didn’t work, but she hasn’t been farther than 5 feet from a camera ever since). She’s an unapologetic Hufflepuff and bird enthusiast. Dani will spend your day joking with you, discussing the ins and outs of fictional worlds, and probably telling you all about her feathered sidekick like any bird-nerd would. All the while, you’ll be getting your real, genuine reactions photographed and woven into a visual story you can cherish forever. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.

Leah
(She/Her)
Based in Portland, OR

Leah grew up in the mountains, forests, and valleys of the Western United States, and her work is heavily inspired by the landscapes of her childhood. Her favorite waterfall is Wahclella in the Columbia Gorge and her favorite dinosaur is the Pachycephalosaurus. Leah is a documentary-style photographer meaning that, like a proper introvert, she sits back and lets your day unfold (and steps in with guidance when needed!). She feels that the in-between moments – when you are lost in each other and forget the camera is there – make for the most authentic images. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.

Amanda V.
(She/Her)
Based in AZ & SoCal

Amanda lives in Arizona but serves the Southern California area often when she visits family and friends. Orange County is where she grew up and loves when work can bring her back to visit. She spent her childhood experiencing weddings through her mom’s eyes as a florist. Amanda loved seeing a wedding come to life from beginning to end. As she grew up, so did her own creativity. She always wanted to find an avenue that feeds her creative spirit and pursuing photography became an obvious choice for her. To this day, she still finds satisfaction in a wedding coming to life. Elegance and style is at the front of her mind. Mom of 3 kiddos, she is fueled by her sense of adventure and bottomless iced coffee. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.

Amanda H.
(She/Her)
Based in Southern Cali.

Photography is Amanda’s creative dream come true. You may hear her yell “YAAASS!” more than once throughout your portrait session, and she’s a big fan of punny jokes. Around high school, Amanda found out for herself how important memories were. Not just the ones she was creating currently but the ones that she couldn’t get back. She realized that captured moments carry such a significance for her that she wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too. Mom of 2 kids, she is used to finding the calm in the midst of chaos. Amanda believes that the unexpected moments can really make wedding photo galleries really special. Her all time favorite movies are Midnight in Paris and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.

✨ Celebrating 34 ✨ - Cheers to a year that leans d ✨ Celebrating 34 ✨

Cheers to a year that leans deeper into building a life I am proud of. One where I can love deeply, create often, and learn to trust this new pace instead of rushing through it.
-
I am grateful for the version of me that kept going when things felt uncertain and for every chapter that shaped me into who I am now.
-
This year I will continue to be more aware of what matters. More certain of it, too. I’m so grateful for the growth, the lessons, the quiet joy in small moments. I’m grateful for the stories I get to document, this work that I get to pour my heart into. And ultimately, I’m grateful for the people I get to come home to.

My wish last year already came true. What more could I hope for this year but to cherish each moment?
The most memorable wedding receptions feel less li The most memorable wedding receptions feel less like an event and more like an experience your guests get to step into.

Thoughtful choices keep people engaged without ever feeling forced. A live band that reads the room and shifts the energy as the night unfolds. A champagne skirt or roaming cocktail service that invites connection instead of lines. Interactive food moments that feel intentional, not overwhelming. Cozy lounge spaces that encourage conversation just as much as the dance floor encourages movement.

When a reception is designed with guest experience in mind, the energy carries itself. People linger. Laughter comes easily. The night feels full without being overproduced. The best celebrations balance beauty with feeling, creating moments your guests are still talking about long after the music fades.

A wedding is not just something people attend. It is something they experience together.

Almost every couple worries about something before Almost every couple worries about something before their wedding day. The weather. The timeline. Being in front of a camera. Whether it will feel as meaningful as they hope it does.

Those worries make sense. You are planning something deeply personal, and you want it to matter.

What I have seen, again and again, is that once the day begins, most of that fear falls away. Not because everything goes perfectly, but because what actually matters shows up.

The people you love. The commitment you are making. The moments you could never plan for but will remember forever. That is why it almost always works out. Not because nothing goes wrong, but because the heart of the day carries everything else. 🥹

There is something so grounding about the Lotte Ho There is something so grounding about the Lotte Hotel on a wedding day. Calm, refined, and quietly beautiful, even with rain falling outside.

The ceremony at The Sanctuary held so much presence and intention. Soft light, thoughtful design, and a space that truly allows couples to settle into the meaning of the moment. It is always a joy to photograph weddings in places that hold emotion this well, especially in the heart of downtown Seattle.

Grateful to document love in spaces that feel this intentional.

We think wedding photos live beyond the trends and We think wedding photos live beyond the trends and perfect details. They are about energy, connection, and the feeling in the room. The laughter that spills out onto the dance floor. The way people move when they forget who is watching. The mix of generations celebrating side by side.

Years from now, what will matter most is remembering how alive the day felt, not just how it looked.

These photos become little time capsules.

A snapshot of who showed up for you.

How hard everyone laughed.

And the season of life you were stepping into together.

Long after the music fades, these images will still carry the joy, the movement, and the love that filled the room. ✨

I figured it was time for an updated introduction. I figured it was time for an updated introduction. This past fall I stepped into the biggest chapter of my life so far. I became a mom. 🥹 While my world has changed in so many ways, there are a few things that have stayed the same. One of them is my passion for photography.

For those who are new here, welcome. For those who have been around a while, hi again.

In today’s introduction post I wanted to share 10 things that matter to me as your wedding photographer:

1. My work is story-focused, centered on real moments and genuine connection.
2. I believe calm wedding days with breathing room in the timeline will lead to better images.
3. I gently guide you throughout the day so you never feel rushed or unsure of what to do.
4. I proudly photograph LGBTQ couples and celebrate love in all its forms.
5. I will never alter your body shape or size. You deserve to be photographed as you are.
6. Trust is everything. The best work happens when you feel safe to be yourself.
7. I care deeply about how your day feels and how you experience it.
8. I am based in Seattle, with an associate team serving along the west coast in WA, OR, and CA.
9. I am always pushing myself creatively and photographing every story with the intention it deserves.
10. I take care of my couples the way I would want someone to take care of my own people.

If this resonates, I would love to connect. My team and I would be honored to document your love story. ✨

The details of a wedding day are never just decora The details of a wedding day are never just decorative. Color, texture, and thoughtful design shape how a space feels long before anyone says a word.
-
When each element is chosen with care, the room starts to hold emotion. Soft fabrics invite movement. Layers of color create warmth. Florals, table settings, and intentional styling turn a space into something that feels personal rather than staged.
-
This kind of transformation does not happen by accident. It comes from a vendor team that understands how to build an experience, not just a setup. When everyone is aligned, a space becomes more than a venue. It becomes the setting for a story that feels like a dream brought to life.
