The moments you didn’t even know happened. The ones that passed by quickly. The tears. The heartfelt glances. The kids playing. The way your dress swooshed. The twinkling lights that illuminated everyone you love most. These images didn’t make the shot list, yet they turn your hair on end, and put a happy tear in your eye. These are photo journalistic story telling images, and they have the power to make you feel all the things and transport you back to the moment, many of which you didn’t even know existed. I play many roles on a wedding day, but photojournalist (see-er and storyteller) is my favorite ❤️

Seven years ago , Steve and I landed in Edinburgh

Seven years ago , Steve and I landed in Edinburgh and checked into Kickass Hostel, yes, it was literally called that and yes, and it definitely lived up to the name. We decided to rest for a bit before heading out into town. And I’m so happy we did, because we met our bunkmate, Ita, an awesome human and fellow wandering spirit. Little did we know in that moment, that friendship would take us on so many adventures together - making new friends, exploring the Scottish highlands, sharing our home and family back in Cali, and RVing around the Canadian Rockies.
And then she met a boy and they went on lots of adventures together. 7 years after our chance encounter at a hostel in Scotland, steve and I got to join them for their greatest adventure yet - we got to officiate and photograph their elopement day. Life’s funny and beautiful like that.

Eloping doesn’t always = hiking. Sometimes it’

Eloping doesn’t always = hiking. Sometimes it’s a swanky rooftop loft with sweeping cityscape and Bay views. If that’s your thing ;) Sometimes a venue isn’t what you think it is. If you get creative ;) A little Food for thought.
Also, this one had all of the Friday vibes. Downtown Seattle rooftop, champagne flowing, toasting to old friends and new adventures. Happy Friday Friendos 😘 🥂
