These locations are not listed in any particular order. I genuinely love and appreciate every single place just as much as the next one on the list. Washington is bursting with incredible spots! From green thick forests and sandy (or rocky) beaches to breathtaking waterfalls and incredible mountain top lakes. Its epic views are truly everywhere you look, making it a photographer’s dream come true.

The word itself can seem so overwhelming to some people, whether you’re planning a big bash in Seattle, WA, or an intimate ceremony in Sedona, AZ. But why? Well, society has told us to be a specific way when it comes to weddings! Over time, wedding traditions have changed and evolved, which we absolutely LOVE. BUT I think many of us still feel the intense pressure of having a big wedding and what that means, whether it’s a sprawling desert affair or a cozy backyard gathering in Tempe, AZ or Bellingham, WA

This Arizona branding photography session celebrated the one-year anniversary of Sustainably Social, founded by CEO Maddy G. Milestones like this aren’t just about celebration—they’re an opportunity to capture fresh content for social media, websites, and marketing. In just one hour, we created images that reflect Maddy’s brand personality and provide content for weeks to come. Whether you’re in Arizona or Washington, investing in branding photos is a powerful way to tell your story and connect with your audience.

Oh? don’t know what offbeat wedding is??? Well here is my quick run down. Offbeat wedding is like the knot, or zola but for nearly weds that might want something a little different. Offbeat weddings aims towards all inclusive weddings and being able to provide services and vetted vendor reocmmendations for those who are differently abled, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, non monogamous individuals, and so much more.

Posing is something I’ve never felt like I’m particularly great at. For a long time, I’d watch other photographers effortlessly guide people into the perfect angles and think, how do they do that?

But recently, someone told me, “You’re really good at giving direction.” And something about that clicked.

Oh… it’s direction I’m good at.

If you’re here then you’re probably either planning on booking a session, or wondering how to even prepare for your session. Whether you’re doing a family session, a engagement session, or a boudoir session, getting ready for your photoshoot can feel a bit overwhelming….

Why is this important? Lets begin here, Why am i writing this? Well because neurodivergence is something that is really important to me. As someone who is neurodivergent myself sometimes i see that people will often avoid weddings, or not stay the whole time, etc because maybe they feel they’re to much. What do I mean by too much? well I mean like the sounds are too loud, theres lots of people, or to many.

Intro: Living the Day I’ve Spent Years Capturing

As a photographer, I’ve witnessed tons and tons of love stories unfold! each one unique, and beautiful in their own ways. I’ve cried during strangers’ vows, fluffed countless dresses and ties, tracked down missing boutonnieres, and quietly documented tearful first looks. I thought I knew weddings.

When they reached out about doing a couples session with their dogs while I was visiting Asheville, North Carolina, I was all in. If you didn’t know anything about me, you should know I married a human from Asheville! So It worked out perfectly, I already had plans to visit friends and family in the area (and celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday). Therefore it became a little trip full of joy and silly moments

When Alyssa and O'Shea told me they chose a serene cabin nestled near Mount Rainier in Washington, to celebrate their wedding day I was very excited to be a part of this celebration and union. They were surrounded by their closest friends and family embracing the intimate atmosphere. Truly making the day feel warm and personal. The natural beauty of the location added an authentic and peaceful backdrop to their vows.
