That “just engaged” feeling ✨ Proposals in popula That “just engaged” feeling ✨ Proposals in popular, busy locations like Pike Place add an extra element of anxiety when you’re the one chosen to document the big moment. As Eminem says, you’ve only got one shot. 😂 After the big moment happens and it starts to sink in, we get to celebrate with engagement photos. I love hearing the conversations in between of all the little secrets finally coming to light. It’s thrilling and meaningful and SUCH a joy. What a privilege that this is my job. There’s nothing quite like it. ✨ Seattle proposal photographer, pike place proposal, pike place engagement photos, Seattle wedding photographer
My first Mother’s Day 💛 It’s hard to put into word My first Mother’s Day 💛 It’s hard to put into words the journey.. It’s beautiful, confusing, overwhelming, animalistic, inspiring, and whimsical. It feels like my entire heart is outside of my body experiencing the world for the first time. I’m really tired but also full of hope and it’s wonderful. I love you, Cooper. 💛 Thank you for choosing me to be your mom. Photos by @gina.paulson ✨
POV: you found a photographer who matches your vib POV: you found a photographer who matches your vibe. You’ll know when you find them. Something about the way they work just feels like you. The photos feel lived in. The energy feels easy. And for the first time in this whole process, you actually stop second guessing yourself. You’ve put real intention into this wedding. You have a planner you trust, vendors who get your vision, and a day that’s been designed with care. The last piece is finding someone who can walk into that and honor all of it. Not just document it, but really feel it. Because these aren’t just photos. They’re the first heirloom of everything you’re building together. The ones you’ll hand down someday. The ones that will outlive the flowers and the cake and the perfectly pressed linen. That kind of trust isn’t something you hand to just anyone. And when you find the person who earns it, you feel it before you can even explain it. That’s the feeling we want you to have with us. Certain enough to close all 27 tabs and not look back. 🫶🏻
Draped in Bloom ✨ What you don’t see: the scrambl Draped in Bloom ✨ What you don’t see: the scramble of wedding vendors working in the rain. Pivoting together to the best of our abilities to try to create magic from a collaborative vision. Cheering each other on and supporting one another in our art. I’m always looking for ways to push myself creatively, and then sometimes Mother Nature decides to step in. 🫠 All week we had beautiful weather until the day of this day when it decided to just pour down rain. Not a part of the plan, but as a group of experienced wedding vendors, we knew how to make it work. A little rain never hurt anybody - right? 😉 photography // @tminspired design & planning // @willowandivyevents florals // @leahericksonfloral videography // @ridgewoodfilms paper goods // @mango_ink cake // @kennagiuziocake dress // @aandbe_seattle @aandbebridalshop venue // @twinwillowgardens tabletop rentals // @deodukeseattle hair & makeup // @k.marina_beauty drapery & linens // @formandflourishevents content creator // @kiaramediahaus coffee cart // @sincerelyyourscoffee models // @lukeandcarin Twin Willow Gardens wedding photographer, pink and green wedding inspiration, wedding drape inspo, Seattle wedding photographer

Becoming a better photographer is not what I expec Becoming a better photographer is not what I expected. I thought becoming a better photographer meant more gear, more experience, more weddings under my belt. And sure, those things matter. But the stuff that actually changed how I work? It was quieter than that. It was noticing the way shadows move across a curtain in the morning. Learning to see light before I ever pick up a camera. It was recognizing who I’m actually for. Saying no to the wrong clients felt risky at first. But it made room for the ones where everything just clicks, and that’s when the best work happens. It was finding people who love this work as much as I do. Photographers who want to talk about the craft, push each other, and love to think bigger. It was learning how to lead. Building an associate team in 2020 meant I had to articulate things I’d always just felt intuitively. Putting that into words, into training, into trust, has made me a better photographer and a better collaborator. It was getting in a room with florists and planners and designers outside of wedding days, just to create. Styled shoots showed me what my vendors are truly capable of, and that changes everything about how I collaborate on the real thing. It was getting the business right. When communication, pricing, and contracts are solid, I show up on a wedding day with a clear head. The back end of this job has more impact on the work than most people want to admit. It was staying curious. About the craft, about what inspires me outside of this industry, and about the people I photograph. The more I understand my clients and their guests, the more I can anticipate real moments before they happen. Knowing how to read people ended up being just as important as knowing how to read light. And then there’s time. Not just years logged, but learning to get out of my own head. To stop second guessing the shot I already took and start trusting that my eye brought you there for a reason. That quiet confidence took longer to build than any technical skill. Growth doesn’t always show itself in big milestones. It’s the unexpected moments that has shaped me the most.
Ambiance isn’t something you add at the end. It’s Ambiance isn’t something you add at the end. It’s the millions of little decisions like hanging chandeliers instead of string lights. Or filling a tent with candlelight so warm it makes everyone look like they’re glowing. It’s the thing guests can’t name but feel the moment they walk in. When a room is designed with that kind of intention, it shows up in the photos. Not in an obvious way, just in the way everything feels a little more… alive. If you’re building a wedding around how people will experience it, we’d love to be the ones trusted to document that experience.

A quote that lives in my head rent free for every A quote that lives in my head rent free for every wedding day: “your wedding photos are the first family heirloom you create” As wedding photographers, we are dedicated to telling your love story and the documentation of your day as it unfolds. Of course, we do this for the joy and celebration as we feel it right now. But we also always remember that one day, this day will become a distant memory and your photos is what will help you share and remember. When that day comes, what moments might you cherish the most?
