My approach is calm but confident: I read the room, move with intention, and make creative decisions that shape the visuals of your day. I know when to step in, when to disappear, and how to capture moments that feel alive, unposed, and meaningful. My goal? To give you hundreds of images that pull you right back into the feeling of the day — photos that hold emotional weight and carry your story forward long after the celebration ends.

I fell in love with weddings after years of working in marketing and commercial photography, where everything felt so polished, perfect, and, honestly, kind of soulless. I craved something real—moments full of joy, connection, and heart. Starting Bear Beau was my way of diving back into what really matters: people, their stories, and that wild, beautiful thing we call LOVE. After photographing over 150 weddings, I still feel the same joy and excitement every time—capturing the love, laughter, and magic never gets old. Let’s create some magic together!

I move through a wedding day with intention and intuition, always looking for the moments that matter most. I don’t force anything or over-direct. I pay attention, I adapt, and I stay present.

My couples know they can trust me to capture the full feeling of the day.

I take photos that are authentic to you and your experience. I'm an expert at making all kinds of people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Being a queer and plus-sized woman myself, I know how daunting it can be, but I'll make sure you feel beautiful on your big day. I shoot with digital and film cameras, and can even develop black and white prints by hand in a darkroom. I'm an avid hiker with a lot of knowledge about the most scenic locations for elopements and engagement sessions around the PNW.

I don’t force the day into a shot list or manufacture moments. I move with what’s already unfolding, knowing when to give direction and when to simply let the scene breathe. Film brings another layer to that process — real grain, natural color, depth, texture, and the character of an actual negative. The result is photography that feels lived-in rather than manufactured: photographs with the atmosphere and imperfections of the day still intact, like frames from a film you happened to live inside.
