Real weddings

PNW weddings can be a little iffy in June (especially when you’re getting married in a rain forest) but we were blessed with beautiful blue skies for this wedding on the shores of Lake Crescent! Kari & John wanted an an intimate celebration in the mountains where their families could do a little bit of […]

Hug Point, on the Oregon Coast, is where Becca & Ryan first talked about the idea of marriage. Becca & Ryan live in Utah and couldn’t picture a big, traditional wedding for themselves. In fact, Becca literally has a dream about an intimate, 15 person celebration! Becca’s parents weren’t initially thrilled with the idea of […]

I do a very limited number of styled shoots every year but when Dawn Photo asks you to team up, you don’t say no! Dawn was set on TreeHouse Point (an iconic PNW venue) but gave me free rein on pretty much everything else. I knew I wanted to take last year’s insanely popular boho […]

Where: Bavaria & The Swiss Alps When: September-October 2018 How: Rental Car, Trains, Steamboats, Gondolas, Mountain Carts Planning a trip to Europe can be daunting!

Where: Iceland’s Ring Road When: March 2016 (Winter) How: Rental Car Iceland is a magical, otherworldly land of waterfalls, glaciers, geothermal pools and epic, non-stop views!

Planning a trip can be overwhelming–What should we do first? What airport do we fly into? Where do we stay? How do we get from one place to another? AHH! I had a friend reach out to me recently, asking where to start planning for her trip to Spain? Greece? France? (She had no clue!) […]

I was on the last leg of a drive home from Moab, Utah when I got a call from Henry (of Henry Tieu Photography), asking for a last minute favor. He needed me to officiate an elopement for two of his friends THAT DAY! After he told me their story, I couldn’t say no. I […]

Rachel and Damon’s off-grid, Winthrop wedding broke all the rules and we couldn’t have pulled it off without Rachel’s crazy (awesome) vision and insane organizational skills! Rachel and Damon wanted a location with camp-y, outdoors vibes where all of their guests could spend the weekend together relaxing, playing music, hanging by the campfire and chatting […]

Jennifer and Dan are from the East Coast and when they contacted me about eloping at Mount Rainier National Park in February, I thought one, they hadn’t done their research or two, they were crazy. Either way, I was game! And they turned out to be neither, actually the opposite–complete badasses! Jennifer & Dan met while […]
