As a wedding photographer, every wedding I capture is a new adventure filled with love, culture, and breathtaking moments. Each destination brings its own unique charm, setting the stage for unforgettable celebrations. From the serene shores of Hawaii to the majestic mountains of Colorado, I’ve been fortunate to follow love stories across stunning landscapes and rich traditions. Whether in the lush forests of Oregon or imagining future weddings in Europe and Mexico, my passion for preserving couples’ most meaningful moments only continues to grow.


Capturing the Vibrant Beauty of Mexico


Mexico is a dream for any wedding photographer. Its vibrant culture, historic charm, and stunning backdrops create a one-of-a-kind setting for love stories. From the pastel-colored streets of San Miguel de Allende to the white-sand beaches of Cancun, the opportunities to create stunning photos are endless.

Picture a couple exchanging vows at the foot of the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza or dancing under shimmering stars at a private hacienda. The warm hospitality of Mexico transforms weddings into celebrations filled with authenticity and romance. Capturing these moments as a Seattle wedding photographer would be an absolute joy—I can’t wait to document love stories that blend nature’s beauty with Mexico’s rich traditions.




Dreaming of European Elegance


Europe's old-world charm is an undeniable allure for couples dreaming of a fairytale wedding. The romantic vibes of the cobblestone streets in Paris or the rolling hills of Tuscany make it easy to create magical images. Castles in Scotland or vineyards in Provence become perfect backdrops for timeless and elegant photographs.

From an intimate countryside ceremony to an extravagant event in a historic palace, Europe offers endless opportunities to highlight the beauty of love. My dream as a Seattle wedding photographer is to follow couples to these awe-inspiring locations, making their wedding days everything they’ve envisioned and more.


The Thrill of Destination Weddings


Weddings in destinations like Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Colorado have been some of the highlights of my career. From the warm desert hues of Arizona to the dramatic coastal cliffs of California, every location has brought a fresh perspective and new inspiration.


However, my wanderlust as a wedding photographer doesn’t stop there. I imagine what it would be like to document ceremonies in Bali’s paradise beaches, Iceland's enchanting landscapes, or Japan’s serene cherry blossom gardens. These unexplored locations hold the promise of incredible love stories waiting to be told.



A Journey of Love Through Every Photograph


Being a wedding photographer means blending local charm and global aspirations. It’s not just about taking photos; it’s about celebrating the beauty of love and culture in all its forms. Whether it’s a cozy ceremony in the Pacific Northwest or a sunlit vow exchange in a far-flung destination, each wedding tells a unique story.


I feel so fortunate to capture moments that couples will cherish forever. From vineyards bathed in golden light to mountain-top ceremonies overlooking sweeping vistas, every photograph becomes a timeless slice of their love story.
