How do you describe your photography style?

We blend photojournalistic storytelling and classic artistry.  This photography style captures moments as they naturally unfold, creating images that feel authentic and emotionally resonant. With an emphasis on candid interactions and genuine expressions, it reflects the raw beauty of life without excessive posing or staging. Our timeless aesthetic avoids trends, focusing instead on clean, enduring edits that stand the test of time. This style results in a collection of images that feel personal, elegant, and meaningful—capturing both the spontaneity of the moment and the enduring significance of the memory.

Why do you offer a complimentary engagement session with your wedding packages?

Your engagement session is one of my favorite opportunities to connect and learn more about each other before the big day. It's the perfect chance to celebrate your engagement and capture beautiful photos for your save-the-date cards, websites or just simply to enjoy.  Furthermore, getting to know each other on a deeper level before your wedding day will help with any nerves you may naturally have when you get in front of a camera!

How do we lock in a wedding or session with you?

To secure your wedding day, simply sign the contract we provide following our consultation and pay a 20% retainer fee. This ensures your date is reserved just for you! For all sessions, we require a signed contract along with a full payment to confirm your session date.

Do you charge a travel fee?

Our wedding packages are designed to make your special day as seamless as possible. We proudly travel within Washington State in all our wedding packages, ensuring that your celebration is just a journey away.

When do we get our photos back?

Sessions will be delivered within 30 days.

Why do you include two photographers with your wedding packages?

A second photographer plays a large roll in capturing the full essence of your wedding day, ensuring every memory—big and small—is beautifully preserved.

 

Here are a few examples:

  • While the primary photographer focuses on key moments—like the first kiss or exchanging vows—a second photographer can capture alternate angles, candid reactions, and behind-the-scenes moments.  

  • Weddings often have simultaneous events, such as the couple getting ready in different locations or guests mingling during cocktail hour while formal portraits are being taken. A second photographer ensures no moment is missed.  

  • Different photographers bring unique styles and creative visions, providing a richer, more dynamic gallery of images for you to cherish.
