exclamation points!

No digital correspondence is complete without an excess of exclamation points. I’m a perky individual, they really get my point across. 😘

audiobooks

As someone who gets a thrill out of optimizing my time. Listening to audiobooks while going for trails walks or doing chores is SO satisfying.

paddle boarding

Are you seeing the theme of my life? ocean, beach, lakes. Being near the water is my happy place.

running

I have NEVER been a runner before this past fall. I’ve always liked the idea of being a runner — great legs, kick ass endorphins and excellent cardio vascular health. So I joined a running club to keep myself accountable. I ran once a week for a few months and now I’m consistently running 3-5 min 3x a week. EEE!

boating

We purchased our first boat in spring 2021, (Stabicraft 2250 UCWT) and we’ve spent every day off we can manage out on the water. Favorite boating activities: Arriving by boat to a vacay spot, crabbing, shrimping & salmon fishing.

My doggos

My sweet goldens, Maple & Alder. They are right at my heels wherever I go and flop down under my desk or behind my office chair as soon as I sit down to work.

growing cut flowers

Getting to create my own bouquets for around the house is the ultimate mood-booster. Anytime I’m trying to shake a funk, it only takes walking through my garden to release the tension

bridgerton

I’m obsessed with the gorgeous costumes and the romance. I’ve watched the first two seasons 3 times each. Can’t wait for season 3!!

Kimber

Hello friends! 

My name is Kimber, I am a nerd and I can't wait to share your wedding day with you. I live in the North Puget Sound area with my partner, our dog and our many many children. I am absolutely in love with the PNW and it's my great pleasure to live in this perpetually damp evergreen state. 

I became a seattle wedding photographer 20 years ago and after a cannon event occurred, I have been obsessed with documenting life since. What started with concerts and festivals transitioned into weddings and milestones and I get so much joy from capturing these special moments. 

I find it an honor to be included in these once-in-a-lifetime celebrations and treat your day with the reverence it, and you, deserve. My favorite part of a wedding day is the gleeful-anticipation the first look has. It's when the Seattle bride and groom can't wait to see their partner for the first time that day and I get the privilege of being the human to document it.  Whether I have known the couple throughout their planning process, or just having met them, it's impossible to not get caught up in the joy of that first look. 

5 things about me: 

1. I love a good concert. You will find me at some concert in Seattle at least once a month and discovering new bands is a beloved pastime. If this bio was a MySpace page you would hear my favorite band of the day. 

2. My comic book collection is expansive, diverse and ever growing. My favorite series? I thought you'd never ask: Ms. Marvel, Maneaters, Rat Queens, Year One, Gideon Falls, Adventure Zone, Injection, Harleen and Naomi. If I'm not at a concert I am probably cosplaying at PAX or Comic-Con. 

3. Speaking of PAX, I play a few games. I want to be clear, I'm not good at them, but I do enjoy a good indie game (Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Doki Doki Literature Club, Quilts and Cats of Calico) and am a Moira-main on Overwatch. My partner makes the games, I play them.

4. Podcasts are bae. I want to know which ones you're listening to and I can talk about my favorites all day long (please ask me). I have diverse tastes and love that we live in an era that has a podcast for everyone (though I am still waiting on one hosted by two wise trees).

5. I want nothing more than to grow up to be a librarian.

ChRistine

Hi I’m Christine, but you can just call me ‘Photographer’ because I’m always behind the camera. Originally a prairie girl, I’ve been loving the PNW for the past 8 years and can’t get enough of the woods, lakes,and ocean. I found wedding photography through a film photography class I took during my undergrad and never looked back. My favorite weddings are those that feel unique and personal. I consider myself a storyteller first and a photographer second, and I love everything about the details and connections between two people and how they came to be one. 

My favorite part of any wedding day is when the parents toast their sons and daughters. There is so much genuine emotion, pride and love in seeing your children grow into their own, and beginning a new chapter of their lives with their own little families is so meaningful, I can’t help but feel every single moment right along with them. 

5 things I can’t live without:

1. My dog. Hands down this little guy is one of my favorite living things on earth. I raised him from a tiny puppy and he is my constant companion and editing buddy! He knows exactly when I need a snuggle break and makes me laugh every day.

2. Mascara – no matter what you’re wearing, it makes everything a little more dressed up. I have about 10 tubes of it all over the house, in every bag, and my car – just in case!

3. Dry fruit. Anyone who knows me knows that I am always eating, and have a serious sweet tooth. Dry fruit of any kind (thanks, Trader Joe’s!) is my go to healthy sweet snack no matter the time of day or night.

4. Mountains. I am lucky enough to live close enough to have a morning view of the Cascades, and hiking with my little family is one of my favorite things to do with a rare weekend day off.

5. Banana Republic – you’d be hard pressed to find a cuter dress or skirt with pockets than at Banana Republic, which is a must have feature for a wedding photographer. I’m all about fashion, function, and the perfect wedding photography outfit.

Alex

Hi there, I’m Alex! …and photographing weddings is my jam! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2012 after first learning black and white film photography in college, becoming totally obsessed, and eventually that hobby turned into a profession.  Photographing weddings brings me so much joy because weddings are not only incredible celebrations of love, but I get to work with couples from all over the world with diverse backgrounds, families and stories.  Every wedding is unique and I love photographing those moments and details that make each couple’s celebration their own.

At weddings you’ll see me strike a balance between light direction during your posed portraits, to being a fly on the wall during your ceremony so that you guests can be fully focused on you, to being a cruise director for family photos so that we can breeze right through and get back to socializing, and finally to being a documentarian capturing candid moments from all angles of your reception.  My favorite part of every wedding is that moment where the couple is announced for the first time and they recess out of the ceremony.  That emotion is so real and unfiltered!

Photography is my passion and I’m lucky to be able to call it my career.  I leave every wedding feeling so full of happiness about sharing in such special days with the couples I photograph.  I look forward to many, many more years of documenting incredible celebrations of love!

Five things about me:

1. I consider myself an expert in Friends and The Office trivia.  If you like either of those shows expect me to drop a few references here and there while we’re working together. 

2. My kiddo, Henry, joined us in 2019 and is the light of my life. 

3. Travel is an addiction of mine and I’m always planning the next adventure.  I’ve lived in Italy for multiple study-abroad programs, been to Nepal, Iceland, the UK and France, all over the US and Canada.

4. I was born and raised in Seattle and can’t imagine ever moving away.  I love our mild summers, our evergreen trees, the fact that I can get to mountains and water within a 45 minute drive of my house and that our hiking options are endless.

5. I’m a major dog person, and if you have a dog I sincerely hope he or she will make an appearance at your wedding!  Furbabies deserve to be a part of wedding days most definitely!

CAT

Hi there!

My name is Cat, otherwise known as your new BFF. I’m a mom of two, wife of eight years, and a photographer.

I’ve been lucky enough to call the beautiful Pacific Northwest home for 9 years and I’ve loved every minute of it. In my opinion, there is no better place on earth.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a camera in my hand. It began with taking what my sister would call “way too many” pictures of my cats and devolved into a degree in photojournalism and, in 2015, a career in wedding photography.

Given my journalism background, I approach a wedding day like I would approach a feature story. After I gather the facts (who you are, what your vision is), I let your day unfold in front of me and pay attention to the little things that make it special. I will never force an agenda or try to make you do anything that you don’t want to do – it’s your day! However, if you need a little push or some guidance, it’s what I’m here for.

5 things about me: 

1. The bachelor franchise is my favorite trash TV. We don’t have cable, so on Tuesday nights, you’ll find me and my husband on the couch with a glass of wine and some snacks, watching the most dramatic season ever.

2. I read a lot! Romance is my fav, but the ACOTAR series was my gateway into fantasy, and I’ve been really enjoying that more lately. I also like mystery/thriller.

3. Cooking and baking are my happy place. After a long day of child wrangling, I love to let my husband take over with the kids and slide into the kitchen to cook us something yummy.

4. I am a former barista and like a classic Seattleite (yes, the transformation is complete), I love coffee. 

5. I would one day love to climb Mt. Everest. Ok ok, we can start with Rainier. I used to hike a lot before having kids and have dreams of reactivating that passion after my kids are in school.
