My work is guided by light, shaped by the setting, and grounded in the connection I’m there to capture.

I have over a decade of experience capturing love stories across Seattle, Los Angeles, and throughout the West Coast. My approach blends natural light, quiet direction, and photojournalistic intuition to create images that feel both artful and true to you.

Whether documenting a coastal wedding, a backyard celebration, or a city ceremony, I’m drawn to the in-between: the candid glances, soft movement, and subtle emotion that make each day personal. I bring a calm energy, a curious eye, and maybe a few bad dance moves if the music’s right!


Serving all of Washington state including Tacoma, Bellevue, Olympia, Snohomish, San Juan Islands & beyond. Available for worldwide travel!

Seattle Weddings with Soul

After more than ten years in Seattle, I have photographed weddings across every corner of this city.

From the waterfront to the mountains, I know how to capture the light filtering through the evergreens at Treehouse Point, the sweeping Sound views from The Admirals House, the warm glow of a summer sunset at Olympic Rooftop Pavilion, and the rolling vineyard hills at Chateau Lill.

Seattle offers a variety of backdrops and as a Seattle wedding photographer I love telling couples stories against them all.

Seattle is a city where urban energy meets natural beauty. One weekend might be all about dancing under twinkling lights downtown and the next could be exchanging vows beside the water at Seattle Tennis Club or Alderbrook Resort and Spa.

The seasons here create unique moods. Golden summers, cozy autumns, and moody winter skies mean your wedding photographs always feel deeply tied to this remarkable city.

Some of the most iconic Seattle wedding venues have become favorites of mine for the way they photograph and the experiences they create. Each space has its own personality and together they show what makes Seattle such a special place to get married:

  • Sodo Park – romantic with soaring ceilings and rustic details

  • Canlis – refined modern elegance with cinematic views

  • Novelty Hill Januik Winery – lush vineyard charm just outside the city

  • JM Cellars – beautiful vineyard and rustic ambiance

  • Lakewold Gardens – serene gardens perfect for outdoor ceremonies

  • Kiana Lodge – lodge and waterfront views for intimate gatherings

  • The Admirals House – historic charm with sweeping views of the Sound

  • Seattle Tennis Club – iconic lake views and elegant architecture

  • Alderbrook Resort and Spa – waterfront setting with mountain views

Seattle Wedding Venues That Make Your Day Unforgettable

For couples who love old world charm, Seattle has no shortage of venues with history.

The Admirals House perched on a bluff with panoramic views combines classic architecture with a backdrop that feels quintessentially Seattle. Rainier Chapter House and Hotel Sorrento bring intimacy and elegance that never go out of style. These spaces are perfect for timeless wedding photographs.

Seattle’s industrial and modern venues are ideal for couples looking for a clean and chic canvas to make their own.

Sodo Park and Block 41 mix urban architecture with warmth while WithinSodo offers open layouts filled with light. Olympic Rooftop Pavilion combines sleek design with sky high views over Ballard and beyond. These venues provide endless opportunities for creative Seattle wedding photography.

Few cities balance urban life and natural beauty like Seattle. Treehouse Point lets couples exchange vows among the evergreens for something whimsical and woodsy. JM Cellars, Novelty Hill Januik Winery, and Lakewold Gardens offer lush greenery and romantic garden settings.

For waterfront weddings, Seattle Tennis Club, Alderbrook Resort and Spa, and Kiana Lodge provide iconic lake and Sound views that make every photo unforgettable. This is why so many couples hire me as their Seattle wedding photographer to capture both the beauty of their surroundings and the story of their day.

If you are planning a wedding anywhere in the Seattle area, I would love to hear what you are dreaming up.
