Award-Winning, Documentary, Seattle Wedding Photographer
Candid Wedding Photography that tells your story – the way it really happened.
One of 2022's Top 150 International Wedding Photographers
Don’t spend the day posing for your wedding photographer. Be with your family and friends, knowing the love, laughter, and tears will be carefully captured with timeless, candid wedding photography.
I love visual storytelling through photography. When I began shooting weddings, I knew I didn't want to take those same photos that everyone else makes. I wanted to make photos that were more real. My goal is not just to make pretty pictures of your wedding day. My job is to tell the story of your wedding day: the laughter, the hugs, the tears.

Recent Wedding Photography
Below is a selection of some recent documentary wedding and elopement photography from the Journal.
These galleries represent the types of photographs a client receives when they hire me as their wedding photographer, and are typical of the storytelling I believe is essential to my style of documentary wedding photography.
In these weddings you will see a variety of images, from portraits to emotional, candid moments. Every wedding package also includes a 4K Wedding PhotoFilm, a unique photographic documentary of your wedding day.
