bre + mitch // glacier point yosemite half dome wedding photography

Bre and Mitch’s wedding at Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of Yosemite, their special day was set against the iconic backdrop of Half Dome, creating a breathtaking setting.

As Bre and Mitch exchanged vows atop Glacier Point, the sweeping views of Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada mountains provided a dramatic and unforgettable scene. The late afternoon light cascaded over the granite cliffs, highlighting the deep connection between Bre and Mitch while painting the landscape in warm, golden hues.

Their intimate ceremony perfectly reflected their adventurous spirits and love for nature. From the soft rustling of the pine trees to the panoramic vistas that stretched for miles, every detail of Bre and Mitch’s wedding was a celebration of their journey together.

Capturing these timeless moments was a privilege. From candid laughter during the couple’s first look to romantic portraits with Half Dome towering in the distance, each image tells the story of their day in vivid detail. Bre’s beautiful gown and Mitch’s sharp suit added an elegant contrast to the rugged Yosemite backdrop, making for truly striking wedding photography.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding like Bre and Mitch’s at Glacier Point, I’d be honored to capture your love story in one of the most iconic and scenic locations in California.

skeltons // magnuson park fall family photos

At Magnuson Park in Seattle in the fall, I had the pleasure of capturing timeless moments for the Skelton family of three. Amidst the golden hues of autumn, the parents lovingly cradled their little one, their smiles radiating warmth and joy. Together, we explored the park with lots of laughter and smiles. Although the weather in the fall can be cold it can lead to some amazing photos with the fall background. I highly recommend Magnuson Park in the fall for family photos!

seattle sounders fc

I have had the opportunity to be a team photographer for the Seattle Sounders since 2016. I’ve photographed over 100 MLS matches and covered 3 MLS Cups. Sports photography to me is way more than the action photos that many sports photographers focus too much on. My goal in covering the Sounders is to tell a story that can immerse the fan and make them feel like they are there.

anna + stefan // alki beach seattle proposal

Absolutely love going to the Olympic Sculpture Park for senior photos in the Seattle area! The park has so many different locations and backgrounds for photos.

b family // seward park family photography

So often during the spring families will inquire with me and ask to do their family photos at the University of Washington in Seattle. The cherry blossoms at the UW are amazing but the campus gets so busy with people. For many families I recommend going to Seward Park in South Seattle for family photography as the flowers are so beautiful and make for a wonderful background……plus it’s way less crowded.

Love spending time with the Manjunath family for their family photos. They have the cutest little boy who is always so smiley and happy. We walked around South Lake Union in Seattle near the MOHAI and captured a lot of fun moments.

I had to reschedule my photoshoot with the Lehecka family several times for weather before this day.....sometimes that happens in Seattle and we almost rescheduled again because of how thick the fog was.

liberia // 2012 // personal

A month ago if you would have asked me where Liberia was on a map I wouldn't have been able to tell you.  And I definitely wouldn't have been able to share anything about the country or what they've gone through in the last couple decades.  In December I was asked by Locke Morgan of Restoration Ministries Worldwide and The Liberia Project to join a group on a trip to Liberia to help tell a story of the trip and the people of Liberia through my photos.  I was excited and nervous all at the same time.  The excitement to combine my love of photography with my love of the people of Africa was too great.  After a lot of help from friends and family I had my visa and ticket to Liberia.  I spent 3 weeks in Liberia meeting many amazing people and hearing many heart breaking stories of the civil war that occurred not too long ago.  However, in all of those tough stories there was good that came out of each.  Liberia is a country that is continuing to rebuild not only their roads and buildings after a horrific war but also their relationships.  I'm hopeful for Liberia's future and I pray that my photos used by RMW and the Liberia Project can help their people!
