Bellingham Wedding Photographer

Wedding photography investment in Bellingham typically ranges from $3,500 to $8,000+ depending on

coverage hours, number of photographers, and package inclusions. My Bellingham wedding collections

start at $6,000 and include at least 8 hours of coverage, complimentary consultation, custom timeline

planning, high-resolution digital images with download rights, and a personal sneak peek within 48 hours.

My associate photographer team packages begin at $4,400, offering the same quality and experience at a

more accessible price point.

Here's the best part: I don't charge a travel fee for Bellingham weddings! Since my parents live just 2

minutes from Lairmont Manor (my favorite Bellingham venue), every Bellingham wedding gives me an

excuse to see them—even if it's just dropping in for a quick hug on my way out of town. This means more

of your budget can go toward engagement sessions, gorgeous heirloom albums, or adding a second

shooter instead of travel costs.

Bellingham isn't just familiar—it's HOME! I was born and raised here, attended Mount Baker High

School (where I was very active in the musical theatre scene—yes, I was a theatre kid!), and my parents

still live in the area. In fact, they live just 2 minutes down the road from Lairmont Manor.

But here's what really makes my connection special: I got married at Semiahmoo Resort. That's right—I chose Bellingham for my own wedding! I know firsthand what it feels like to plan a Bellingham wedding, to walk down the aisle with the Puget Sound as your backdrop, and to celebrate in this beautifulplace. Semiahmoo will forever hold a piece of my heart, and I bring that intimate understanding to every wedding I photograph there.

I know this city intimately—every hidden photo location, the best time of day for golden hour at Boulevard Park, exactly how the light hits at different venues throughout the seasons, and which hiking trails offer the most stunning backdrops. When I photograph Bellingham weddings, it's not just work—it's coming home. And I always make time to stop by my parents' house, even if it's just for a quick hug before heading back to Snohomish.

Nope! Bellingham weddings are travel-fee-free because it gives me the perfect excuse to see my

parents. They live just 2 minutes from Lairmont Manor, so I genuinely look forward to every Bellingham

wedding. Even if it's just dropping in for a quick hug on my way out of town, spending time near my

hometown—where I got married at Semiahmoo Resort—and seeing my family makes these weddings

extra special. This means you save on travel fees, and I get to combine work with family time and

revisiting the place where my own love story was celebrated. It's a win-win!

Absolutely! I've photographed weddings at every major Bellingham venue including Semiahmoo Resort (where I got married!), Lairmont Manor (literally 2 minutes from my parents' house!), The Hotel Bellwether, Evergreen Gardens, Woodstock Farm, The Chrysalis Inn & Spa, and many more.

Growing up here means I know all the secret photo locations—from Whatcom Falls Park (where I spent countless afternoons as a kid) to Chuckanut Drive overlooks to Boulevard Park's waterfront boardwalk.

But Semiahmoo holds a particularly special place in my heart. I didn't just photograph there; I experienced it as a bride. I know exactly how it feels to walk through those venues, where the best portraits happen, how the light changes throughout the day on the property, and what makes a Semiahmoo wedding truly magical.

Oh, let me tell you—Semiahmoo is incredible, and I'm not just saying that as a photographer. I got married there! This place offers everything: stunning waterfront views of the Puget Sound and Canadian mountains, luxurious accommodations for you and your guests, multiple ceremony and reception options, and that destination-wedding feel without actually requiring your guests to travel far.

As a bride, I loved that my guests could make it a weekend—staying on property, enjoying the spa, exploring the beach, and really making it a celebration rather than just one day. The sunsets over the water are breathtaking (we timed our ceremony for golden hour, and it was magical). The property is expansive enough for beautiful photos but intimate enough to feel personal.

Now as a photographer who's also a former Semiahmoo bride, I bring a unique perspective. I know the property inside and out—not just as someone who's shot there professionally, but as someone who experienced their own wedding day there. I know which locations are perfect for intimate first looks, where the ceremony light is most flattering, and how to maximize that incredible waterfront backdrop. I can also give you insider tips about timing, logistics, and making the most of the property because I've been in your shoes!

This is tough because I genuinely love them all for different reasons! Lairmont Manor holds a special place because my parents live 2 minutes down the road, and it's an absolute fairytale—that Italian-Renaissance estate has stunning architecture, manicured gardens, and timeless elegance.

But Semiahmoo Resort will always be deeply personal to me because it's where I got married. There's something incredibly special about photographing couples at the same venue where I celebrated my own wedding. I understand the emotions, the logistics, the little details that matter, and exactly how to capture the magic of a Semiahmoo celebration. Every time I photograph there, I'm reminded of my own wedding day—and that emotional connection translates into photos that truly capture the feeling of your celebration, not just the visuals.

That said, I'm thrilled to photograph at any Bellingham venue—Woodstock Farm's rustic charm, The Hotel Bellwether's sophisticated city views, Evergreen Gardens' forest fairytale vibes. Each has its own magic, and my hometown knowledge means I can maximize the potential of every single one.
