Why PNW Couples Are Ditching Traditional Wedding Photography for a More Editorial Approach

There’s something undeniably cinematic about the Pacific Northwest—
The fog rolling over Puget Sound.
The dense forests.
The way the light breaks through the evergreens at just the right moment.

It’s moody, romantic, raw—and it deserves to be documented in a way that honors all of that texture.

As a fashion and editorial photographer based in Tacoma and working throughout Seattle and the PNW, I bring a creative lens to wedding photography that goes beyond the typical.

This isn’t about stiff posing or cookie-cutter edits. It’s about capturing your wedding with the same artistry, direction, and intention as a magazine editorial.

Here’s why more and more couples in the Pacific Northwest are seeking out fashion photographers for their weddings:

1. The PNW Is Already a Mood—Editorial Photography Honors That

Whether you're getting married on Whidbey Island, inside a historic Capitol Hill venue, or deep in the woods of Mount Rainier, editorial photography leans into the natural drama of the region. I use light, shadow, and composition to amplify—not flatten—your environment.

2. You’re Not a Traditional Couple—Why Settle for Traditional Photos?

So many of my clients come to me because they want something different. They’re creative, stylish, intentional. They care more about capturing emotion than orchestrating poses. If that’s you, editorial-style photography is made for you.

3. Art Direction That Still Feels Authentic

I won’t put you in awkward prom poses or stage every second of your day. Instead, I guide you with subtle prompts, letting moments unfold naturally while still ensuring every frame looks polished and cohesive—like it belongs in print.

4. Experience in Fashion Means You Look Like You Belong in Vogue

From understanding how to work with dramatic gowns and custom suits, to framing details like earrings, gloves, or lace in ways that feel cinematic—I bring a fashion-focused eye to every part of your look.

5. You Deserve a Gallery That Feels as Intentional as the Day You Planned

Let’s be real: you’ve put thought into every detail—your venue, your outfit, your vibe. Your photos should match that same level of care. Hiring a fashion photographer means your gallery will feel curated, personal, and visually unforgettable.

If You’re Getting Married in the PNW, Let’s Rethink the Standard

I’m not here to just “capture your big day.” I’m here to craft a visual experience that feels layered, editorial, and deeply you.

So whether you’re tying the knot in a downtown loft in Seattle or on the rocky coast of the San Juan Islands—if you want wedding photography with soul, edge, and intention—I'd love to work with you.

Let’s create something that stands apart.
