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.

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. ✨
