We had the pleasure of working with Shelby more than once this season. From our first contact, she was friendly and responsive. Day-of our clients' weddings, Shelby and her second photographer were incredible to work with, coming alongside the vendor team seamlessly.
her ability to give direction and utilize lighting creates stunning works of art. Highly recommend!

Shelby is a true professional. My now husband and I planned our wedding from across the country, and she made the process of planning photoshoots and pairing with our planner for the weekend itinerary a breeze.
Her confidence and expertise had us loving our photos before stepping in front of the camera.

Kohala Coast Wedding Weekend rich in Island Tradition
Waikoloa, Hawaii
Somewhere to stop for the perfect ocean view, ask the question of a lifetime, then celebrate the start to sharing one: the Fairmont Orchid set the stage for this Hawaiian destination wedding.
Courtney and Brett’s relationship began much like this golden piece of their story. He worked in game presentation, she in partnership marketing for an NBA team; and friendship led to something more. Career paths and eventually, a cross-country move landed them in the same city!
He loves her passion and drive, and she loves his kindness and thoughtfulness. As a result, they make the sweetest couple. When they aren’t traveling and working in their dream jobs, they adventure outdoors and enjoy quiet moments at home. In sum, they believe the best of times are spent simply together.
The Big Island is Courtney’s home away from home; notably, it is somewhere Brett always knew he’d ask her to marry him. A hike along the Kohala Coast brought them to a lookout where he proposed. And it just happens to be steps away from where they’d be married. Fast forward to their wedding, a beautiful display of all they love in a place they love! From the signaling sound of a Pū to sunset torch lighting, Courtney and Brett shared island traditions to honor the gift of this day with their guests.

Historic Downtown Wedding for an Iconic Couple
Seattle, Washington
These college sweethearts met in Arizona before moving close to where the bride grew up. Washington holds much of this story, including Aly and Justin’s happy place (a cabin east of the Cascade Range) that offers countless good times and memories to match for family and friends. It’s where everyday expressions of love and comfort build legacy. The warm wooden beams and fireplace within the Edgewater Hotel’s Penthouse Suite are what led Aly and Justin to exchanging vows at this place, for how it all reminds them of the cabin. More than a decade in the making, they promised to inspire the best version of each other and keep on believing.
For this duo, sharing the best of the city called for a venue with views of the Olympic Mountains and Elliott Bay as one backdrop, with a favorite skyline as another! What’s more to love? Live music by the Talbott Brothers made for the happiest of hours, and kicked off the party of a lifetime! Champagne toasts on the terrace lead to infinite spins around the crystal chandelier clad ballroom.

Black Tie Wedding on a Resort Property overlooking the Cascades
Cle Elum, Washington
From a windswept ceremony to a romantic, dim lit reception Maddie and Jim’s Swiftwater Cellars wedding at Suncadia Resort was a time of celebration worth waiting for!
They met in the final months of high school and although life offered chances miles apart, love lead them back together. Right where they were always meant to be. I love how this pair returned to the area where Jim asked Maddie to be his wife, if only to make all the more memories alongside family and friends come wedding day. Favorite parts include a first look set against the cascades, toasts that left no eye dry, and how Jim’s best man was his father.
