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.

    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.

    I love how black and white photographs have the po I love how black and white photographs have the power to strip everything back to what matters most. Here are some favorites from Ligia and Coty’s Catholic Church ceremony on digital and 35mm film. Featured in black and white because simply put - it’s quite a vibe. ✨

    The energy of a wedding is deeply influenced by ho The energy of a wedding is deeply influenced by how guests feel. When guests are comfortable, welcomed, and thoughtfully considered, the entire day flows differently. Conversations linger. The dance floor stays full. Moments feel warm and connected. Designing a wedding with guest experience in mind is one of the most meaningful choices couples can make, and it shows in every part of the day. Allison and Jay did an incredible job at this. Not only did they host their guests well, they also stood grounded in the true meaning of their wedding day celebration. ✨

    Being fully present on your wedding day is not abo Being fully present on your wedding day is not about everything going exactly as planned. It is about feeling supported enough to stop managing the moment and simply be in it.
-
When couples trust their vendor team and release the pressure to hold everything together themselves, something shifts. The day feels lighter. Laughter lingers. Emotions have room to show up instead of being rushed past.
-
Those are the moments that stay with you. Not the checklist, not the timeline, but how it felt to live the day as it unfolded. Presence is what turns a wedding into a memory you can actually return to. ✨

    Saying goodbye to the most life changing and impac Saying goodbye to the most life changing and impactful year I’ve ever experienced. The year Cooper made me a mom. ✨💛
    If you are planning a wedding in Washington, there If you are planning a wedding in Washington, there is always a chance rain might show up. And while that can feel stressful at first, it truly does not have to ruin your day. Rain on a wedding day has long been seen as good luck, but more than that, it can slow everything down in the sweetest way. People gather closer. Emotions deepen. The day feels tender and meaningful in a different kind of way. 💛
-
A good rain plan is really about two things: presence and preparation. When you let go of trying to control the sky, you make space to feel what matters most getting married and being surrounded by people you love.
-
Then, with the support of your planner, photographer, and venue, the logistics fall naturally into place. Covered ceremony spaces, tents, cozy lounges, heaters, umbrellas, warm drinks… there are so many thoughtful ways to keep everyone comfortable.
-
And photography in the rain? I will always say yes to that. Rain adds romance. Overcast light is soft and dreamy. Clear umbrellas tell a story. Reflections, textures, and intimacy show up in a way only rain can create.
-
If you ever wonder what to do for wedding photos if it rains, the answer is this trust your photographer, stay present, and let the moment be what it is. That is where the magic lives. ✨
-
Rain does not take anything away from your wedding. It simply writes a different version of your story. And sometimes, it makes it unforgettable.
-

    Her. Always her. - When my family moved to Califor Her. Always her.
-
When my family moved to California while I was in junior high, photography started as a way to stay connected. I picked up a camera so I could share my life with the friends and family back home. It was storytelling before I even had the words for it. It was my way of holding onto moments that were changing faster than I could process.
-
Over the years that simple love for documenting life turned into people trusting me with their stories. Then it became weddings. Then it became a career. None of it was easy. It has taken time, sacrifice, growth, and a million small decisions to keep going. But it has always been worth it.
-
In many ways this work has been healing for my younger self. The girl who just wanted to create. The girl who wanted to feel rooted. The girl who found comfort in capturing something honest and real. To be able to do this for a living feels sacred. To create art that will live through families, through generations, through memory, feels powerful and humbling all at once.
-
And now in 2026, I get to continue to do this with my son watching. Watching me show up with purpose, love, and commitment, both to my work and to our family. My hope is that he grows up knowing he can follow what matters to him and create a life he feels proud of, too.
-
Forever thankful that this is my work. Forever proud of that younger version of me who picked up a camera and never put it down.
