Wedding days move fast.
Faster than anyone tells you they will.
One moment you’re getting dressed, the next someone is clinking a glass, and suddenly it’s late, your feet hurt, and you’re wondering how it all passed so quickly.
The music fades.
The flowers are packed away.
The dress is hung carefully, still holding the shape of the day.
What remains is memory — and the way it’s carried forward.
As a wedding photographer in Washington State, I photograph weddings with the long view in mind. Not just how the day looks right now, but how it will feel years from now, when you stumble upon these images and find yourself right back inside it.
More Than Documentation
The photographs that matter most are rarely the loud ones.
They’re quiet.
They notice what you didn’t realize was happening.
A look your partner gives you when you’re distracted.
A hand finding your back in a crowded room.
The way your parents stand just a little closer than usual.
These images don’t try to impress.
They grow more meaningful with time — which is the best kind of magic.
Why Legacy Matters
Legacy doesn’t mean grand or dramatic.
It means true.
Whether I’m photographing Washington weddings, Pacific Northwest celebrations, or destination wedding days, my focus stays the same: documenting connection as it actually exists — a little messy, deeply sincere, and very real.
One day, these photographs will be held by people who weren’t there yet.
They’ll study faces.
They’ll laugh at hairstyles.
They’ll look for themselves.
And without knowing exactly why, they’ll feel where they came from.
Choosing What Lasts
Trends come and go.
(Some faster than we expect.)
Presence lasts.
When couples choose photography rooted in feeling rather than performance, their images age gently — becoming something familiar, grounding, and deeply theirs.
If this way of experiencing a wedding resonates, there’s more to explore.
