Steven & Renee - Stevenson, WA

Renee and Steven wed over the summer at the stunning Skamania Lodge. I’ve known Renee since she was a little girl, through our church, and have taken several photos for her family and siblings over the years, so it was extra special for me to capture her wedding day.

Steven had a fun morning playing golf with his groomsmen while Renee and her girls relaxed and sipped mimosas as they got ready. They opted for the traditional “first look” and Steven saw his bride for the first time that day as she walked down the aisle towards in him, surrounded by close friends and family. They had the sweetest vows and the toasts given later in the evening were just as sweet. I love how adoringly Steven looks at Renee and I especially love how much fun these two have together. They make a good team… not to mention a good team on the dance floor, as well.

Renee and Steven, I had an absolute blast documenting your wedding day. Thank you for choosing me to partake in the celebration and I am so happy you two found each other. “The point is… you two are perfect together,” Congratulations!

Phi & Kelsie - Woodland, WA

RPImagery-7842.jpg

Phi and Kelsie gathered all of their friends and families at one of my favorite venues, the Red Barn Studios, to celebrate their wedding day this year. After nearly a decade of being together, and the delay and wait for their wedding day due to COVID, this day was greatly anticipated. We were blessed with a beautiful summer day for their ceremony, the bridal party kept me laughing all day, the toasts were fantastic, and the dance floor was a riot. A party for the books! Enjoy some of my favorite images from their wedding day.

Cheers to your new chapter, Mr. and Mrs. Han!

Animesh & Jennifer - Leavenworth, WA

Ani & Jen got married at the beautiful Silvara Cellars in Leavenworth, Washington. These two love their wine so it seemed only fitting to get married at a winery and vineyard.

Together with their family and friends (virtually and physically), they exchanged beautiful vows to each other and celebrated their new chapter as husband and wife. What I love most about these two is how much they make each other laugh. Seriously, they are always giggling about something together! Their joy is infectious and their love story is a gift for all to witness. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Talwar!

Patrick & Stephanie - Portland, OR

RPImagery-8581.jpg

Patrick and Stephanie contacted me 2 short months before their wedding about photos/video. First of all, I LOVE a backyard wedding! There’s always something extra intimate and romantic about it. Secondly, I was inspired by how these two were making lemonade out of lemons when COVID destroyed all of their destination weddings plans in Hawaii. While they didn’t get to bring their loved ones to a tropical island, they brought the tropical island to their backyard in Portland, Oregon.

I think Steph and Patrick could attest, this was actually how it was meant to be. Their wedding day was PERFECT! It started with the good luck charm of rain drizzle, but ended with Kaulu pig, reggae music, and a sunset. Just like Hawaii. Twenty of their closest family and friends gathered to celebrate them, and it was a party! From the intimate ceremony and sharing of vows, to the entertaining toasts, to ending the night with good ole’ fashion karaoke - this “COVID'-19” wedding was one for the books!

While large weddings are fun, I’m not going to lie, I’m looking forward to this new trend of small, intimate celebrations. Stephanie and Patrick, thank you for including me in such an incredibly special day. I adore you guys and am excited to see what life has in store for you two!

Michael & Julia - West Linn, OR

RPImagery-2498.jpg

Michael & Julia got married at a beautiful vineyard/winery in Oregon called Oswego Hills Winery. The aesthetic of the location is just as wonderful as the wine!

For me, the most memorable weddings are the ones where my couples (and their families) welcome me with open arms the second I get there and immediately make me feel like family. This is exactly what happened as I walked in the building, I heard the girls getting ready upstairs, and Julia’s mother walked right up to me and gave me the sweetest hug, thanking me for being there. This is just a small example of how the rest of the day went - so much love for these two and their wonderful families.

Some of the highlights of the day include Julia getting ready with her bridesmaids, Michael seeing Julia walk down the aisle for the first time, their phenomenal, choreographed first dance, the toasts that had everyone rolling in laughter, and of course the epic sunset we had which Michael whisked Julia into for some slow dancing at the end of the night.

Julia and Michael, thank you for choosing me (and G) to be a part of your magical wedding day. I loved getting to know your family and had so much fun with your friends! Here’s to a lifetime of love!

Nolan & Ricki - Aurora, OR

RPImagery-6177.jpg

There are certain aspects of every wedding that standout—and Nolan and Ricki’s wedding day was a perfect reflection of how they are truly loved. Surrounded by their favorite people, I was fortunate to witness the joy of everyone as these two finally made their love story official. What began with squeals of excitement from Ricki’s bridesmaids as she put on her wedding dress; eventually ended with dripping sweat, exuberant faces, and dancing fools by the end of the night. This day was one for the ages!

I’m not going to lie, the vibes of this day were some I imagine for my own wedding—PNW ambience, evergreens and vineyards, mountains bordering the horizon, and an epic charcuterie board and photo bus during cocktail hour. Not to mention the tear jerking toasts at sunset to kickoff the reception. All of the stories and memories shared on this day made my heart melt. Nolan and Ricki, you truly are a love story written in the stars, and I loved hearing about the countless memories that your loved ones shared with both of you. I admire how much you love others. For example, both of you made sure everyone else was comfortable and having fun on YOUR wedding day. You guys are remarkable individuals that are unstoppable as a team. I look forward to what the future holds for you two. Thank you for including me in this special chapter of your love story.

CJ & Brooklyn - Puyallup, WA

RPImagery-4853.jpg

When I think of fairytale romance, meant to be, written in the stars, sweep-you-off-your-feet kind of love story, I think of CJ and Brooklyn. The love they have for each other is so special!
I had so much fun getting to know these two at their engagement shoot (view here), where I learned that CJ sneaks out of the back door of their house so he can knock on the front door, often with flowers in his hand, to ask Brooklyn out on a date, for their date nights. CJ is a hopeless romantic, and he looks at Brooklyn the way every girl dreams of being looked at. When they’re not out on date night, they are dancing in the kitchen, and loving on their sweet little boy, Cameron. I adore their sweet family!

They got married at Rock Creek Gardens in Puyallup, WA surrounded by their closest friends and family. It was definitely a family centered celebration and I love the closeness that both of their families share! The toasts were both tear-jerkers and full comedy shows, the food was amazing, and the night ended with everyone dancing under twinkle lights on a perfect summer night. My favorite part of the day though was sneaking CJ & Brooklyn away from the party and sending them out on a row boat. It was a perfect moment for them, being away from all of the music, laughter, and festivities to just soak up the fact that they are finally married! It was a joy for me to be a part of this day. Thank you CJ & Brooklyn for choosing me to be a part of it all. The love you two share has put a forever stamp on my perspective of true love.

Dylan & Brianne - Stevenson, WA

RPImagery-0917.jpg

Dylan and Brianne got married at one of my favorite places in the Pacific Northwest, Skamania Lodge! It’s on the Washington side of the Columbia River, right near the famous Bridge of the Gods, and sits up on a hill providing gorgeous views of the Columbia Gorge.

The morning of their wedding day was so relaxing. Brianne and her bridesmaids sipped mimosas and laughed about memories as they got ready for the big day. One of my favorite moments of the day was when Brianne’s bridesmaids gifted her a personalized booked of photos, memories, and sweet words for the bride. Their entire bridal party was filled with the sweetest of friends, who made their entire day so much fun and so meaningful to both Brianne and Dylan.

Their ceremony was sweet, and their reception was a blast! Not a dry eye during their vows at the ceremony, during the toasts, and during the father/daughter and mother/son dances as well. I loved how the dance floor was placed right where they had said their vows earlier in the day, and everyone danced the night away under the string lights and under the Columbia gorge sky filled with stars.

Brianne and Dylan, thank you so much for choosing me to document this special day for you guys. I loved having the honor of capturing each moment throughout the day, and had so much fun while doing it! Thank you to you guys, your bridal party, and your families for making ME feel like family!

Michael & Tenielle - Camas, WA

Michael and Tenielle had one of the most touching, Christ-centered ceremonies and wedding days that I’ve ever been a part of. Their whole wedding day was a true testament to what God designed for the institute of marriage. It was important to Michael and Tenielle to use their wedding to glorify God and spread the love of Jesus to others, and that is exactly what they did.

“Our lives should be radically transformed if we understand God’s great love for us. The highest purpose of your marriage is not primarily for you, it’s to glorify God and demonstrate how great He is.” I loved how Todd really focused on the book of Ephesians during the ceremony, pointing out both how much God loves us and how also, in turn, that should effect our daily lives. How a Christian life is a fundamentally changed life. In Ephesians, Paul also talks about how a husband should love his wife much like Christ loved the church, while the wife must respect and honor her husband. I was also inspired by how much Todd talked about grace. That even though you love your spouse and love so many things about them, they still have weaknesses and flaws, and there will be times in their life that they sin, but that’s when they need your love and your grace the most. This is such a hard thing!! But such a wonderful reminder. Anyone single, dating, or married should truly watch their full ceremony film for a good message on marriage, and what we should all be praying for, looking for, and striving to be in our own relationships. Click here for their FULL CEREMONY.

During the ceremony, Todd described Michael and Tenielle as individuals, and then went on to say:

“You both prayed. And that set the stage for God to work and do something to bring your two paths and merge them into one. God has had the individual paths of your life merging together to become one.”

Knowing Tenielle since grade school, and hearing so many stories of Michael growing up, I know how passionate these two were about pursuing Jesus in their own lives. They certainly were on their own individual paths chasing goals, dreaming big, spreading kindness, and pursuing Jesus. Because of this, God gifted them with each other. AND WHAT A GIFT. To see how much light Tenielle brings to this world and how compassionate of a heart Michael has for others, they are unstoppable together. I can’t even imagine how much glory they will be bringing to God’s kingdom as a team!

Yes, God gifted them with each other.

But, their marriage is also God’s gift to us.

Michael and Tenielle, your love truly encompasses the fruits of the spirit.

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23

Your life together is going to be a great testimony of what God intended for marriage. You have already impacted, inspired, and changed the lives of so many. You have set the bar high for intentional pursuit, and have been a beautiful example of what giving and receiving grace looks like. You inspire me and I am honored to be your friend. CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH YOU MOVE MOUNTAINS TOGETHER! I love you, Mr. and Mrs. Monda!

Michael & Daveen - Washougal, WA

Michael and Daveen’s wedding was nothing short of magical! Daveen is a master detail planner, and had her complete wedding day envisioned as soon as she met Michael. Granted, many of those details changed over the years, but every detail of their day was absolutely radiant all the same. Daveen’s vision truly came to life in every ounce of the day - florals, table settings, ceremony arch, dessert table, jewelry, attire, etc.

However, no amount of beautiful detail can beat the authentic, magical love between these two. The respect, adoration, and love for each other is something special. Michael and Daveen, I love your love! Thank you for choosing me to capture such a monumental day in a new chapter of your love story. Thank you for inspiring us all with the passion, romance, and deep love that you two share. I am honored to call you guys’ friends and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. xox

Justin & Courtney - Woodland, WA

RPImagery-0195.jpg

Justin and Courtney are a laid-back, loving, friendly, and outgoing couple. They are passionate about their pups, they are adored by their friends, they love to have a good time, and they ‘ain’t afraid of a little booty grab ;) Their wedding day was a perfect reflection of them, as their day started off with a relaxing morning for the girls getting ready at the barn, and the fellas showing up with Justin and Courtney’s pups mid afternoon. It was a beautiful, sunny day!

We started off with Courtney’s first look with her dad. It was truly something special, the look on his face was priceless when he saw his daughter on her wedding day, and the tears did not stop flowing. Shortly after that, Courtney and Justin got to see each other for the first time and then we wandered around the lovely property of the Peterson’s Red Barn with their whole bridal party. They certainly had a fun group of friends!

One of my favorite parts of their day was cocktail hour. Everyone enjoyed sipping cocktails from their adorable bar, Blue Stag Mobile bar, while playing lawn games and enjoying each other’s company. They had a great playlist going in the background, and it was just a lovely setting.

My absolute favorite part of the day though was golden hour, and not just because the light was pretty. Golden hour on Justin and Courtney’s wedding day of course included some epic portraits with just the two of them frolicking out in the open field as husband and wife! But, then we also came back to their whole party being back outside, having left the dance floor, to play drinking games at sunset. Justin and Courtney delightfully joined in. We ended golden hour with some girl squad pics. Love me a good group of girlfriends that will kick their shoes off and run around an open field, swaying their dresses, hugging each other, and enjoying the beauty of true friendship.

Court and Justin, your wedding was TOO fun! I enjoyed being a part of and soaking up every bit of it, just as much as I enjoyed capturing every moment of it. Thank you for including me on your wedding day, I feel blessed to know you guys and consider you friends as well!
Your unique love is so fun for me to capture and I hope to get to do so for many years to come. Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Kempf!

Joey & Whitney - Portland, OR

RPImagery-8201.jpg

I've been friends with Whit and Joe for over 5 years. I have witnessed many of their ups and downs, documented their love (by making them model for me on several accounts), celebrated many birthdays with them, and have watched their flirty crushes develop into a deep, beautiful love over the years. 

What I love about Joey and Whitney is that they are a couple that truly brings out the best in one another, and in turn, brings so much joy to everyone else around them. Joey comes off a bit timid when you first meet him, but once you get to know him, he is funny as hell, down-to-earth, "life of the party" type of guy. Whitney is constantly outgoing, energetic, and friendly to those around her. She has the biggest heart, is encouraging and uplifting to others, and gives, gives, gives. She is a true light to those around her, and it is evident that Joey recognizes this. The way he looks at her like she is the only person in the entire room completely melts my heart. Together, they have a contagious type of charisma that people crave to be around.

Every moment of their wedding day was pure bliss. Whitney's bridesmaids were all rockstars who constantly made sure everything was flawless throughout the day. The Benson was the perfect venue and the staff were incredible - working hard to create the most magical setting. Their family had the most sentimental words for the newlyweds, and everyone toasted to their happiness,and danced the night away.

And....
THEY ARE EXPECTING!!! Whit and Joe found out shortly before their wedding day that they are expecting, and I couldn't be more thrilled for them! They are going to be such wonderful parents. During their reception, Whitney made the announcement to all of their friends and family that they have a baby on the way, and then surprised Joey by sharing that their cake cutting would actually be a gender reveal. The crowd went wild as they sliced into their wedding cake, revealing a bright, pretty, pink filling. There's not many things that could beat the excitement of that moment, but some of my other favorite moments of the day included: Whitney getting ready for her wedding day in the complete tranquility of their new, beautiful home that they just purchased as a couple. Whitney's bridesmaids enthusiastically watching their first look from the hotel window across the street. Joey seeing his bride for the first time on their wedding day. The venue coordinator giving Joey and Whitney a private moment to glimpse into their wedding reception room and Joey leading Whitney into a romantic slow dance. They were the only two in the room and the DJ turned on sounds of Billie Holiday in the background. I loved having Joey and Whitney to myself later on, shortly after they signed their marriage license, frolicking around the lit up night scene of downtown Portland. My last favorite moment of the day was watching Whitney, 10 weeks pregnant, round up the troops and lead everyone on the dance floor to "Wobble baby." Haha I love her!

Their wedding day was a true reflection of them as a couple, and every moment, start to finish, was truly so special! I admire their love, blessed to call them friends, and I am honored to have been a part of their wedding day. Whit and Joe- I can't thank you guys enough for choosing me to document this new chapter of your life, for including me in a huge part of your love story, and for your true friendship over the years. I adore the two of you together and am so excited to see all of the adventures and joy that God has in store for you, as a couple, and as a family!! Love you guys!

Baylee and Tyler

 I met Baylee in 2009 when our moms set us up for a senior session, me being a new photographer and Baylee being a senior in high school. Our moms both worked together at the time... so, thanks moms! Fast forward a couple years later and Baylee is starting a photography business of her own and we get to collaborate on a few things and learn from each other, which it's always good to have friends in the industry. Collaboration, not competition! Fast forward another couple years later, and I am transitioning into wedding videography as Baylee is really starting to kill the wedding photography game. We've gotten to capture a few weddings together now, and it is so fun! Her as the photographer, me as the videographer. Brides.... we work really well together, FYI ;)

When she first told me that she met this Canadian guy on Tinder, he came down to meet her, and they really hit it off, I thought "that's sweet, but it'll never work." Living in two different countries right off the bat and trying to start a long distance relationship? No way. When they got engaged, I was happy for them, but still hesitant. It's not until I finally got to meet Tyler that it all finally made sense. They are truly the perfect combination of similarities and contrasts. They are so alike in that they are genuine, driven, intentional, energetic, hard working, and love to be around their friends. Yet, they are different in smaller ways that balance each other out perfectly. Baylee is whimsical minded while Tyler is a little more logical, haha. I actually love this about them! I feel like Tyler brings Baylee back to Earth sometimes but Baylee gets Tyler thinking more spontaneously. Besides all of this, how hot of a couple are they?! I mean, come on. They make THEE most beautiful couple.

Their wedding day was absolutely perfect. Baylee got ready at her mom's house with some of her closest friends, and then we drove out to the gorge where her and Tyler shared their first look. They wanted their wedding day to be intimate and magical. Well, they certainly got that. On a March afternoon in Oregon, they were absolutely blessed with a beautiful, sunny day. That, in itself, is magic. The said their vows on the most stunning cliffside with their immediate family and closest friends. It was very intimate.
Baylee and Tyler, your wedding day was perfect. Laid back, intimate, fun, romantic, spontaneous, filled with so much laughter and love... I already know your wedding day is just a hint of what the rest of your guys' lives together will be like. I'm excited to see what the future holds for you two.

Thank you for having me capture your day, it was truly an honor. I love you guys!

Also, it's always a treat to get to work with the fabulous Jessica Heron, who photographed the day. Check out her photos from their wedding day, below:

Corey & Melissa

RPImagery-1440.jpg

Corey and Melissa got married at the beautiful Holy Names and then celebrated at the Seattle Tennis Club on a gorgeous late August day. I have done several of Melissa's friends' weddings so at this point I feel like a friend of hers, myself, and was SO excited to capture everything for her!

All of the little details of the day were SO Melissa, and so lovely. Corey and his groomsmen were probably the funniest group of guys I've ever met, my tummy was literally hurting from laughing uncontrollably all day. Melissa gave sweet, personalized gifts to her bridesmaids that had them all in tears. We did an intimate first look out on the dock in the afternoon, and Corey's reaction was so cute. Their entire bridal party was so awesome and made photos so much fun, too! (... And I do not say that about every bridal party, haha)

They had their ceremony in a stunning church, Holy Names, followed by an exquisite cocktail hour out on the Seattle Tennis Club lawn, overlooking the water and the mountain. One of my favorite parts of the evening was when Corey's brother gave a heartfelt toast and even had Corey, the jokester who never shows any emotion, in some tears. "Eat, drink, and be merry" was exactly how I would describe the rest of their evening... delicious dinner with donuts for dessert, delightful drinks, so much dancing, laughter, tears, with a little bit of PBC-fight-watching mid reception.

Melissa and Corey, thank you so much for choosing me to capture your beautiful wedding day. It means a lot to me that you guys continue to recommend me to all of your friends, so it was even MORE of an honor to finally get to capture this day for YOU! Love you guys.

Dustin & Anne

,

I knew when Anne first contacted me, her wedding would be the most intricate, detailed, and organized wedding. Being a wedding planner herself, she knew far ahead of time every detail and I loved it!

Their day started off with the girls drinking champagne in the cozy cottage on site, well the guys cracked some beers and played some pool.

I've never seen such amazing work on florals. They had a team of 10+ people hanging florals on every tree, branch, bike, you name it, allllll day before go-time. It was crazy to see it all come together and witness their craft.
Their wedding was unique because it was considered a "vow renewal," as they have already been married for a year. How fun, though, that they finally got a glorious wedding day to celebrate with all of their loved ones! And an extremely beautiful one, at that.
Every detail of the day was amazing, from the florals to the blown-up handwritten vows on canvas hanging from a tree, to the choreographed dance routine that Anne and her bridesmaids did at the reception (must watch in the video!). Their film was quite fun to put together as their dance party all evening was a riot, as well. These people know how to dance!
See for yourself at the end of their wedding film ;)

I also couldn't help but snap just a few (random) photos throughout the day, so here a couple still glimpses into their day, as well, below.

Anne and Dustin, thank you so much for choosing me to capture the essence of your vow renewal wedding day. It was beautiful, fun, and SO you guys! I adore you two, congratulations!

Eddy & Katie

Eddy and Katie got married at the beautiful Cape Horn Estate in Stevenson, WA. What started as a cloudy, rainy day ended up turning into the perfect afternoon and evening. The girls began getting ready at Katie's sister house, and then we headed to the venue to get dresses on and hang out in the gorgeous bridal suite while the guys started getting ready, too.

All of the little details of their day were simple, but beautiful. Some of my favorite moments of the day included: Their first look (so tender!), the kiddos (so cute!), hanging out with bridal party (so entertaining!), a song they dedicated to Katie's grandparents which Katie's grandma was able to get up out of her wheelchair and dance for a little bit (absolutely priceless!), Eddy getting choked up thanking everyone for being there, and his friends getting up to bear hug him after (so sweet!), and of course the dancing the lasted all night long.

This was one of those weddings that I did not want to end. The happiness and joy amongst everybody was so contagious throughout the entire day. 

Eddy and Katie, thank you for letting me capture your beautiful day! I adore you guys and it was a pleasure to get to spend time with and get to know all of your awesome friends and family.
