Imagining your Wonderful Wedding or Elopement…..

It could be taking a seaplane to the San Juan Islands, spending time exploring then listening to the waves after saying your vows on the beach.

Or saying “I Do” on a mountain top and skiing down.

Maybe going to a quiet cabin in the woods with only nature and your closest family and friends.

Your day is about you two and the beginning of your great Love Story.

Love is patient, love is kind. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Why I want to Capture Your Intimate Wedding or Elopement

In 2021 I was photographing a large wedding, the couple was stressed and wanted to have more time just them. I tried my best to get them alone and capture them as a couple, their laughter and holding one another.

When the thank you letter came it said,

“Thank you so much for helping us on our wedding day! We had fun with photos, it was a nice peaceful getaway. We thought your work and your mission was inspiring. It was such a pleasure to have you and we would recommend you in a heartbeat!

How heartwarming is that! My mission is to make sure, you my couple, have some time for just you two! Your special day is to celebrate you!
