Your wedding day should feel like you -- and Anna & Sarah's Ren Faire Wedding at Wisteria Gardens had pieces of them all over the venue. The two of them have spent the last year handcrafting every single detail. 3D printed dragon feet candlestick holders, foam shields, painted banners, tankards laser engraved with their wedding logo, and hand-stamped bags to hold lavender. The list goes on. Their loved ones helped, and every guest arrived dressed perfectly for their theme, which was incredibly impressive.

The wisteria perfectly in bloom, the cows who arrived for the ceremony right on time, all the thoughtful touches, and the most beautiful brides made this the most whimsical wedding I have ever photographed, and I am incredibly honored to have been trusted with these moments.

Abby & Colin's wedding at Semiahmoo Resort in Blaine, WA. Just about a half hour from Bellingham, Washington, Semiahmoo Resort is a stunning location to get married. You can see Vancouver, B.C., across the water and all your guests can stay at the beautiful resort, which means more time with them before and after the big day. You can have your wedding ceremony right on the pier, which makes for really beautiful and unique photos. The entire space feels so special. Abby & Colin's day was so lovely.

I delivered 20,000+ images in 2025. Despite that high number, certain photos will always live rent-free in my head. I spend so much time living in your photographs. From capturing them on your wedding day, through thoughtfully selecting the best ones, carefully editing each image until I feel it's perfect, to months and years later reflecting on my work. Your moments matter so much to me, too. I'm especially proud of images with genuine joy and emotion. These images can't be recreated or forced. It's pure magic.

This blog post barely scratches the surface of some of my favorite photos from last season. There are so many more, but I'll start with these for now.

Yvonne & Wen’s elopement at Christianson’s Nursery last spring was full of quality time, so much joy & laughter, and was so incredibly lovely. After signing their marriage license, these two decorated their wedding cake together with extra florals from Pretty & Posh Florals. Totally unplanned and ended up being the sweetest activity. I loved everything about this day & love everything about these two.

Jessi & Drew got married at Thornewood Castle in Lakewood, Washington in October, and it was truly such a magical day. Thornewood is located in what feels like a normal neighborhood, but once you park and walk down the hill, the Castle and fountain come into view, and you're immediately transported to somewhere in Europe.

Maddy & Chad got married at a private residence in Bellingham, Washington, and their family & neighbors put so much time and energy into making this dream become a reality. Weekends were spent building and creating decorations, and seeing it all come together was so special. One of my favorite details was the "memory walk" that Chad's dad came up with. When guests arrived, they'd walk through a boardwalk trail through tall grass to enter the ceremony space. At the entrance of the trail, there was a sign that said, "We are happy you're part of our journey". Along the trail were photos of Maddy & Chad throughout their life, ending with photos of their engagement era at the end.
