You all have been so excited to see the last few Alaska posts, and I just had to share one more set (best for last!). Near the end of our heli tour, Neo with suggested posing for images like the ones in the office, with him flying in the background and us on the ground. It was truly an incredible moment, and the lakefront ended up being another favorite spot from the day, a great place for Bailey and Mason to soak it all in before flying back. Already missing these views!

Bailey + Mason, part II: After our first stop on the glacier, we headed out for a mountainside with Neo (our pilot) guiding us around the area, showing us his favorite spot for ceremonies. We landed on a wide open hill with 360-degree views and they held their ceremony with probably the most epic elopement backdrop I’ve documented yet. We followed this spot up with a place by an ice wall for their charcuterie lunch, and it felt like we had the world to ourselves.

Bailey + Mason, part I: I still don’t quite know how to put into words the incredible experience we had for this elopement day in Alaska. When B+M reached out to me over a year ago, we were brainstorming all sorts of ideas, and when I told them about how amazing my last Alaska elopement was, combined with the thought of the potential aurora sightings, it didn’t take long for them to be convinced this was a perfect fit for them. After adjusting our heli tour schedule with so we could get a little more sleep after a very late night chasing the northern lights, we ended up with some stunning light and scenery for their elopement adventure. I was honestly a bit afraid I wouldn’t love Alaska as much in March as I had in July, but I definitely do. Here are the first handful of images from the first portion of their day, more to come in the next post. 😍

When we landed in Anchorage Thursday night, I quickly realized after scouring the reports online that our best chances for an aurora sighting would be Friday, even though we originally hoped to see them on Bailey + Mason's elopement day (Saturday). So after shifting our timeline around for a late night drive, and moving our helicopter schedule to later in the day Saturday to give us all plenty of rest, we set out for Talkeetna Friday night, and around midnight, we were just lucky enough to get a glimpse of some incredible color and stars in the sky. These are a few of my favorites from that night, and well worth the frigid temps to create this magic on camera. More to come soon from this Alaskan adventure elopement!

In one week we’ll be back in one of our favorite corners of the country: Alaska! Truly can’t wait to celebrate another elopement among these mountains and glaciers, and hopefully also with some aurora sightings, too! 🤞😍

This isn’t California, and it’s not Oregon, either. This is Washington’s own Long Beach — the longest stretch of continuous beach on the whole West Coast. The best part? Several parts of it are drivable with your car right on the sand!
Danielle and Bailey had a ceremony with their family on the same beach they had their very first getaway trip together years ago so it was meaningful to come back where they had their first kiss. And we drove down together at sunset for a private first dance with their pup in some of the dreamiest colors on the horizon!

On another cloudy winter day here in the PNW, I’m already dreaming of all the summertime mountain views we’ll have in just a few short months. And to kick off my 2025 season, I’m excited to be participating in some fun wedding shows! If you’re anything like Winnie + Joe, searching for your dream vendor team, come join me at one of these shows to say hi in person. As Winnie said last year, “Kaitlyn is our favorite vendor and best vendor decision we made.” And it still makes me emotional every time I look back on their private vow readings before their Crystal Mountain ceremony last year. 🥹❤️

First throwback Thursday of the new year, and we’re still kind of in shock 2024 is over. Here are some of our favorites from the last few years, and we’re stoked about all the amazing adventures we have planned with our couples this year! From Alaska and California to Key West and all over the PNW, we truly can’t wait to share some serious magic we know is bound to show up this year.

After spending some true time off for quality time with family, here’s a delayed “holiday” post with a different kind of red + green. 😏 A few weeks ago, I met back up with Colleen + Ed who had me document their elopement photos in Mt Rainier this summer — and this time we headed west to another epic national park in Washington for maternity photos in the Hoh Rainforest of Olympic NP! We brainstormed some color ideas and this was one of the outfits they selected to truly make her “pop” against the bright green forest and I love how this came together. Wishing everyone loads of love for the new year!

One of my favorite things about the PNW? Large trees covered in moss 🌿🌲 These two flew here from Arizona for a lush green forest elopement in Olympic NP (complete with a custom made cloak!) and it was the best day. 💚

Reminiscing on my first full year of working in Washington state, and feeling really grateful for all the opportunities to document some amazing love stories and epic venues. Here’s one of my favorites while second shooting for at the Seattle Aquarium this summer! 💙🐠🏳️‍🌈

This past week, I gave myself some time and space to reflect and grieve — over the status of our country, the world, our species, about family, the environment…all of it. And although my grief is still here, I wanted to share my thoughts with you all, as a woman, a business owner, a q***r person, and a photographer in an industry focused on celebrating love of all kinds. What I keep coming back to is the belief that despite taking two steps forward and one step back every election cycle, I do still believe we are inching (crawling, clawing) our way forward to a better world. Because if we weren’t getting closer, others who don’t want progress wouldn’t be fighting like hell to stop us.

I also firmly believe that diversity is really what makes our country beautiful even if others lose sight of that or refuse to accept it. I’m “just one person” which makes it easy to feel completely hopeless, to feel like nothing I do can change the world. But what I do have is the ability to provide a safe, welcoming space for people of all colors, backgrounds, for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community, to celebrate love in scenic places.

Nature doesn’t judge or discriminate. We are of this earth more than we are of any “state” or “nation” society creates. And in nature, borders don’t exist. Environments blend from one to another, making our planet’s landscape so incredibly vast, diverse, beautiful, and fascinating.

Today, I’m imagining what our world would be like if we spent less time thinking of walls and borders, and more time building bridges and connections to our neighbors, our local communities, nourishing real personal relationships with each other and the earth. And maybe I can’t change the world, but I can start small, volunteer locally, and make a difference with the places and people around me. You can, too.
