I aim to tell a story through my images in a beautiful and visually pleasing way. I am a photojournalist at heart with the education of a portrait photographer and so I do pay attention to things such as composition, lighting, expression, posing while at the same time work to capture the moment as it happens, but the most important thing to me is capturing the story of the moment.
I like to capture you and your partner as naturally as possible. If I see something that may help improve the look of the shot or something I know you want me to adjust for, then I will tweak things slightly, but not to the extent where you feel awkward and uncomfortable.
Please review my portfolio and if my images speak to you, I would love to schedule a call to discuss how I could help to capture and tell the story of your love and wedding day!

I am currently based in Vancouver WA and will happily drive to your event with no additional travel fees within 50 miles of my location.
If you have an event that you would like for me to photograph farther away, I am happy to do so. Additional travel fees are $1/mile after the first 50 miles.

When you hire me, you get the benefit of my experience and knowledge to help guide you in having your day be as perfect as possible! I am happy to share typically how long things can take when it comes to scheduling out your wedding day. I can say, it’s important to not rush, just as much as it is to not waste time. If you are unsure about how long something will take or wish to ask me for me guidance in planning out your schedule, I would love to let you know how long something typically can take!

Typically turn around on images happen within 2-6 weeks depending on the length of your event and time of year. You will be presented with an Online Gallery with Gallery Store.

Love is Love. I am more than happy to photograph anyone who wishes to document their union. I have worked with many different types of couples, all from different religious or social backgrounds. If you have something special you wish to capture, I would love to be the person you select to preserve the moment!

The Gallery Store provides you with many different professional print products for the preservation of your most favorite images. These items are hand selected and specially priced for you to provide you with professional grade products at an affordable price.
All of my sessions provide you with all your images in Printable Digital Downloads, so you can definitely take your images to elsewhere to print; however the quality of consumer grade prints will not be at the quality of the professional grade prints that you can find within this online store.
What makes the quality of the items in the online gallery store better?
Longer lasting - all items in the online store come with archival grade ink and paper from a professional print company that only sells to professional photographers. Over many years, if properly cared for, these products will maintain their vibrancy and visual impact.
Higher Quality - The paper used, the ink used, the whole product provided will be at a higher quality than the average consumer grade print that you can get from a pharmacy print or online print shop.
Remember!!! You just spent thousands of dollars to make your dreams a reality… do you really want to preserve that day and those memories on subpar low grade products that will fade over time and look lack luster from the first day you receive them or merely keep them on a digital file to be lost, damaged or worse yet - forgotten!? Don’t make that mistake!!
Professional Photographers have access to much higher quality products with archival qualities from the best and most reputable professional print companies in the world - Take advantage of the gallery store and the high quality products it offers…. get an album for under $300, get some beautiful wall prints for under $200, get some professional prints for under $10…. there are many options within any budget - treat yourself to something tangible…
Digital Images get lost, corrupted, degrade in appearance as technology continues to improve every year… think about it - a photograph taken in 2005 does not look like a photograph taken today when viewing it on a computer screen, BUT if you had printed it out the quality of the image would not degrade in appearance on a print over the years as it would in a digital format. People think Digital is permanent, but we are seeing now that is definitely not true. As technology improves, something that was top of the line 5 years ago is now inferior to the products and quality available.
Preserve your images on something you can hold and touch and know will last over the years. That is the beauty of photography - being able to capture a moment in time and hold it in your hands.
