“Tim and Amanda were some of the most welcoming people we have ever met, their presence is calming, but fun. They have an insane amount of fun when they’re together, and that was all but clear on their wedding day dancing and singing in the pouring rain. They put so much time and detail into their big day, and it was an absolute dream of mine to be able to capture it all. “

…”Little details like their signs & cake table were handmaid by the bride and groom. Just so much love, & sweat went into making this day what it was.

The day was amazing with these two that ended by the fire, where we ate like 50 smores, and it was the best thing everrrrr.

…Sarah and Derek are probably like the sweetest people I’ve ever come to know, but they’re also just super chill and goofy love birds!!! Derek was telling me how he really wants to get a bearded dragon lizard. Okayyyyy so you guys live in Hawaii, you’re both super cute, AND you’ll have a pet lizard!??

Dylan + Morgin These two cuties are throwing an epic New Years Eve wedding, so we spent their engagement session in the snowy mountain tops of Washington State. We met up to get some yummy treats and Starbucks to warm us up in the snow!! I instantly hit it off with these two and I’m […]
