Snohomish Wedding Photographer | Moody & Romantic Weddings Across the West Coast

If you’re here, you’re probably planning a wedding or elopement—or at least beginning to imagine what that day could look like. Choosing a photographer is about more than just pretty photos (although yes, that’s important too). It’s about trust, connection, and knowing the person documenting your day understands what matters most to you.

As a Snohomish wedding photographer, I work with couples who value authenticity, storytelling, and an experience that feels intentional from start to finish. This post walks you through the wedding photography services I offer, the locations I serve, and what working together actually looks like.

How I Photograph Your West Coast Wedding or Elopement

I specialize in wedding and elopement photography that feels honest, emotional, and true to you. My focus is on real moments—the quiet ones, the loud ones, and everything in between. I’m there to document the story of your day as it unfolds, not to force it into a mold.

That might look like the anticipation while you’re getting ready with your people, the way a room erupts during the reception, or just as meaningfully, standing together in the stillness of an elopement day—feeling the wind move through the landscape and the weight of the moment settle in.

Whether your celebration includes a full dance floor or just the two of you in a place that feels sacred, my goal is to create images that bring you right back to how it felt.

If you’re looking for a connection-focused wedding and elopement photography experience, you’re in the right place.

Snohomish and West Coast Wedding Photography Services

Every wedding and elopement looks different, which is why my coverage is designed to be flexible and intentional. Whether you’re planning a full wedding day with all your people or an intimate elopement on a cliffside, in a forest, or somewhere deeply meaningful to you, coverage is built around your timeline, your priorities, and the way you want your day to unfold.

Coverage often includes your ceremony, portraits, and the meaningful moments in between—both the big milestones and the quiet pauses. Many couples choose extended coverage so the day never feels rushed and the story can be documented naturally, from start to finish or anywhere in between.

I also offer engagement and pre-elopement sessions. These sessions give us a chance to work together before the wedding day, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create images you can use for save-the-dates, your website, or simply to honor this season of life.

My approach is calm, guided, and thoughtful—capturing both stillness and celebration so your gallery feels honest, emotional, and cinematic. You can learn more about my elopement services and how coverage is structured here.

My Documentary Approach to Wedding and Elopement Photography

Connection over perfection guides everything I do. I take a documentary-forward approach with gentle guidance when needed. That means I’ll step in to pose, prompt, or direct during portraits, but otherwise I let moments happen organically.

My goal is to cue connection so the experience feels natural and enjoyable—like the two of you are on a fun date with your favorite third wheel.

You don’t need to know how to pose or perform for the camera (and yes, I will tell you what to do with your hands). I take the time to get to know you, your story, and what you value so your photos reflect who you actually are—not just what a wedding is “supposed” to look like.

West Coast Locations I photograph Weddings and Elopements.

I’m based out of Snohomish, Washington, and regularly travel throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Having lived all over the West Coast, the landscapes continue to shape how I see and photograph weddings.

I frequently photograph weddings and elopements throughout Snohomish County and across Washington, including locations managed by Washington State Parks and protected public lands throughout the region.

Washington

In Washington, I regularly serve Snohomish, Arlington, Seattle, Bellevue, Bellingham, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, and locations along the coast. Many of these areas fall under the care of the National Park Service or National Forest land and require thoughtful planning and permits.

California

In California, I photograph weddings in Napa, Sonoma, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Big Sur, the Redwoods, Lake Tahoe, and along the coast—often in locations managed by California State Parks.

Oregon

Along the Oregon coast, I serve Brookings, Astoria, Cannon Beach, and surrounding areas, including scenic locations protected by Oregon State Parks.

Idaho

I also photograph weddings in Coeur d’Alene and Boise, and I’m always open to traveling somewhere meaningful to you.
