nitasha & navin

A few of my favorites from Nitasha & Navin's engagement session at Pike Place Market and the EMP Museum in Seattle, Washington.  Sure, there are SO many cool places for photographs there, but when I am hanging out with a really fun couple like Nitasha & Navin, I realize how much being a full-time wedding photographer blows my mind.  Thanks to Ashley for shootin' too!Visit my client proofing site to view slideshows & purchase prints!

Published, Oregon Bride Magazine, Spring/Summer 2012

Really thrilled to be featured in the new Oregon Bride Magazine. Love seeing the pictures in print and I love the write-ups about my awesome clients!  Photos & write-ups were from the weddings of Allison & Stephen, Kate & Chris, and Andy & Jessie.

2011, year in review

Happy New Year everyone.  2011 is DONE!  It was a challenging and difficult year in so many ways, but I'm so incredibly grateful for all the wonderful people I got to work with.  It was a year where the people I photographed were the ones giving me hope and joy.  I'm really in awe that my career is being a wedding photographer, that I get the privilege of creating for a living, and surrounded by people in love.  I'm so grateful for everyone who has supported my journey and I can't wait for stretching myself professionally and creatively in 2012.  Thank you so much for keeping up with my work!   Below are just a few images I made this year that make me happy, that I'm proud of.
