I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and I am so happy that you are considering including us to be a part of it. I commit to a limited number of Weddings per year to ensure that your day remains a priority. Photography is all about connection and your photographer will be one of the biggest and longest-lasting connections you’ll share with any of your wedding vendors. I strive to create beautiful portraits, but also a lasting relationship with my couples. When you book with us, you are not just a client, you become part of the JYP family! I am honored to have the opportunity to laugh…to cry…to share your love story.

My name is Morgan Elise, and I have had a camera in my hand since I was around nine years old. I specialize as a storyteller & documentarian photographer. Nothing brings me more joy than capturing moments you don’t necessarily see… but I do. I am constantly looking for those quiet moments, genuine smiles, laughs, hugs, kisses, etc. I want to tell YOUR story as authentically as I can. My work has heavily been influenced by my intuition and empathic gifts, history, vogue, literature- mostly Jane Austen, and poetry. Before every session, I create a story of poses for each client, carefully curated for each person’s personal story.

Hi! We are David and Rob, a husband and husband team specializing in wedding and elopement photography. Soon after we met we became inseparable. Falling in love sparked a passion in us for documenting other people’s love stories and commitment towards each other. As photographers, it is our goal to document the love stories of people from diverse backgrounds, and to help create experiences that are truly representative of a couple’s values. We are based out of Sioux City Iowa, and available worldwide.

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

I'm a witty human person living with sarcasm, 2 teenagers, a husband, the most adorable pup, and deafening awesomeness. I moved to the States at 9 years old and served in the Marines for 7 years in adulthood. I am too tall for most kid activities and too damn short for most adult activities. I LOVE capturing the raw, unplanned, and candid emotions pouring out of humans. Been doing this sh*t since I was 10 years old! I don't find joy in "cookie-cutter" poses and pictures... I want to capture you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Hi! I’m Jules. I like to think of myself as an artistic storyteller. I love capturing LOVE and have been a professional photographer for 12+ years (don’t let the baby face fool you).

I’m huge on collaborating with every couple to make sure your finally gallery matches the overall vision. I would love to share full galleries with you and would be HONORED to create art with you on your dreamiest day! STORYTELLING is the best part of my career! Telling the story of your day in an artistic way is what drives me day in and day out.

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Being able to put your love for each other into a photo is my dream and I am lucky I get to do just that.

I'm a Seattle-based wedding and portrait photographer! I am much more of a Saturday morning type of person than a Friday night kind of gal - although I do appreciate a good night out. Who doesn't!? Like anyone else, I love a beautiful photo. However, I don't want to make it happen - I want to be there to capture those important moments in your life. Photography is meant to document your story, and life isn't perfectly curated - like Instagram can be. I promise I will correct a double chin if I can. But if it’s mid-laugh, give me that double chin!
