For this beautiful wedding they kept things simple...and used romantic red accents for the bridal flowers, dresses, and the wedding cake.
The bridesmaids sip champagne and shine with BIG smiles as I photograph them in their beautiful red dresses. They've got the romantic Valentines wedding look and style for sure!
Modern bridal photography captures the joyful bride and groom as they walk hand-in-hand down the aisle. We did it!!!
You know what I love about photographing weddings -- its the in the moment shots, super candid, spontaneous, and natural wedding photography that really captures and tells unforgettable moments.
I use a wide variety of lens; and, the best lens for wedding photography, in my humble opinion, are the 85m portrait lens, 24x70m great for portraits and group shots, 70 x 200m for shots taken in a church or further away, and the wide angle 16 x 35m. These are my favorites to catch every loving and fun moment! You never know...you might catch a guest taking a picture at the wedding of you and the couple! Love this!!
It's a New Year and a new you! Getting a new professional portrait done of yourself is a positive door opener. Work with a photographer who brings out the best in you and is willing to push you to portray your best self. My professional portrait photography sessions are all about you! And, the session is a lot of fun! Remember, everyone is an individual, so every portrait-photography session is unique and special -- because you are!
Let's show the world together a new you! Love to hear from you today to schedule your business portrait photography, senior portrait photography, family portrait photography, bridal portrait photography, and creatively you portrait photo session!
Many of my clients love the idea of getting married somewhere in the tropics, but either time or budget makes it tricky. Why not create a Hawaiian, Caribbean, or Polynesian setting for your wedding anyway! You can rent palm trees, hand out leis, decorate the wedding cake with orchids, have Hawaiian dancers at your reception and more! Perfect destination wedding photography without having to travel too far. Aloha!
I've been attracted to nature photographer and photographing horses for many years. Fortunately, I've been able to witness them gracefully galloping with a buggy, or as the sun rises and leaves a beautiful glow on their manes. I think horses are lovely and they are very cooperative to portrait photography!

Photo booths are so much fun for your hosts and their guests! With a little creativity, you can make the props and have a photo booth set up in a jiffy! As a photographer, I get a BIG kick out of photographing everyone having a good time and being a little silly! Photo booths add a fun wedding photography and event photography element to the party!!
The Pacific Northwest has stunning gardens. With its mild temperatures, sunshine, and rain, so many flowers bloom here. I'm learning a lot about the flora and fauna. Here is a sample of some floral fine-art photography
One of my signature gifts to all of my couples is to take artistic wedding photography images of their wedding rings. I absolutely adore doing this for my clients and I can't wait to do it for you!
The rings are a work of art! It's so beautiful, meaningful, and so much fun!!!

The golden hour is so beautiful for wedding photography
Getting married in 2020 — PERFECT! Its the beginning of a new decade. And, you have dreamed about the perfect wedding for so long. How do you choose a photographer when there are so many portrait and wedding photographers to pick from?
Do a Google search for photographers in your area. Review the photographers work on their website and Social Media pages. Look at their reviews. Ask yourself, do you like their photography style and the variety of work they advertise? Can you visualize spending time with the photographer, getting along with the photographer, and being comfortable with them for the photo session? Does the photographer advertise they can do both engagement and wedding photography?
Does the photographer have experience with all sorts of lighting situations? Photography is all about capturing the light at any stage; natural, fill flash, indoor studio, and more.
Next, contact the photographer and schedule a time to chat and meet them in person. Ask a lot of questions and build a relationship with the photographer. There are many qualified and talented photographers in the market place; however, by doing a little homework and setting aside some time to get to know the photographer, you will gain great confidence that he/she will do a fantastic job for you. The results will show in the service they provide for you and the beautiful natural photographs showing you and yours at your best!

Remembering the joy of past Christmas's shared together around the world in Germany, Czech Republic, Virginia, South Carolina, and Washington State (beloved travel photography) with family and friends! Happy Holidays!
I hope the magic of the holidays gives you time to reflect and enjoy life's gifts. Let us, together, wish for peace and happiness around the world.
It's amazing how quickly light can change within a short period of time. Since, I am also a landscape photographer, I am always interested and chasing the light. The first image below of Samish Bay, along the Chuckanut Drive view point, was taken at 4:29 pm. The next shot was taken at 5:27 pm, just a couple of miles up the road, at the boat marina overlooking Bellingham Bay in Bellingham, Washington. The light changed so dramatically in just an hour!

Working with the guys to capture cool photographs at the wedding is a lot of fun -- especially when there's props and everyone cuts loose and enjoys themselves!
Being spontaneous and in the moment results in great candid pictures! I love being a creative wedding photographer and making these guys smile BIG!
Photographing the bride and the back of her dress makes a statement. It can convey the mood, her style, and shows a touch of elegance. As a artistic wedding photographer, I love being imaginative and creative to capture all of the wonderful moments for my clients!
I love that there are so many lovely hair accessories brides can wear. From hair clips and flowers, to sparkling gemstones, tiaras, and pill box veils - brides have a lot to choose from!
I love traditional veils too. Anything goes for today's wedding time bridal photography and the modern bride!
Winter weather can surprise and delight me all at the same time...when it offers soft, tranquil, pastel-like colors.
The serene colors of nature's natural beauty puts me in a dreamy state of mind.
I write this today with a heavy heart as the world watches the horrifying news feeds from California. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who are suffering and have lost so much. You can rebuild, but life is priceless.
It's been a really rough year for the State of California; first Sonoma and Napa, and now raging wildfires up and down Highway 101 in Southern California.
I took this landscape photography picture in January 2017 at Torrey Pines State Beach, San Diego County, at sunset.
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and our view of the Olympic Mountains changes daily. Thank you Mother Nature!
Sometimes, I take photographs of the Olympic Mountains wearing my slippers.
I love to capture the details that the wedding couple created to make their day really special and uniquely theirs. When a client asks me if I am a creative wedding photographer and an artistic wedding photographer, I smile and say, YES I AM!
Adding props for your photo session can help you tell your story. Samantha and Jake love the vintage look and they see their love story as an adventure!
For April and Brian's wedding they asked me to re-create photos they had seen on a Pinterest board. Using the Victorian sofa she had rented for her wedding, outside, helped set the tone for a super romantic, vintage wedding day!
