Telling Stories
The magic of photography is about the story the image tells and the feelings it creates in the viewer. When you see a wedding photograph that makes you feel warm inside because of the absolute joy on the couple’s face, that is a successful image. When you see a pensive portrait of a young adult looking into the future, and you wonder what he is thinking, that image is working magic. When you see an image of an old door in Italy and you can see the generations of changes that have occurred and you wonder about the families that have lived inside, that is an image that is sharing a story.
I’m always looking forward to the next project and the story I get to tell!

Brooke and Austin combined a couple of very cool venues for their elopement. They were married at Elope 253 in downtown Tacoma, which is a new venue for me. It was a very cool space designed specifically for elopements with a mid-century design aesthetic that I loved. After the heartfelt ceremony, we did some portraits outside and some family portraits. Then, we drove over to Gold Creek Pond for a celebration and some very cool outdoor portraits. I love Gold Creek Pond. It is a beautiful space that is easy to walk around to give you the feel of a real PNW adventure elopement without the hike. It is a little mini-adventure elopement! Brooke and Austin were a lot of fun to talk to and it was an honor to be part of their wedding day.
I met Jessica and Phi at the Seattle Municipal Court for their wedding. They are a great couple and it was a beautiful day! The Seattle Municipal Court has a beautiful rooftop deck for both the portraits and the ceremony. After their ceremony, we walked around downtown Seattle including the library for some more portraits.
The City of Redmond hired me to create some commercial marketing images for their business development and some other teams to update their library of images for various uses. The photography will be used primarily on their website, but also in various other ways to promote the city.
I met Kelda and Nebiyou at Gold Creek Pond at the top of Snoqualmie Pass for their wedding portraits. Gold Creek Pond is an absolutely gorgeous place for photography with amazing colors in the lake and surrounded by mountains.
The American College of Mohs Surgery had their convention, conference, and trainings at the Hyatt Regency in Seattle. I was there to photograph the events. The Hyatt Regency is a great venue in a beautiful location in Seattle.
Hayley and Adam were married on a perfectly Seattle rainy day in the spring. They and all of their friends got ready in a space above their wedding venue, Mad Art Studio.
Mad Art Studio is located in the South Lake Union neighborhood just a few blocks from the MOHAI and the Center for Wooden Boats. We went down to Kobe Terrace Park in the International District for their first look and some portraits. Kobe Terrace is filled with cherry trees and was absolutely beautiful for their first look with all of the blossoms.
Then, we went to Kerry Park to get views of the Space Needle and Seattle for more portraits and their wedding party images. After that, we went back to Mad Art Studio for the wedding and reception. Very cool couple and a fun day!
