Savannah + Justin | Lakewold Gardens Wedding

Savannah and Justin celebrated their love with a intimate Lakewold Gardens wedding ceremony. Surrounded by their closest friends and family at the beautiful Lakewold Gardens in Lakewood, Washington. They traveled all the way from Florida to make this special moment a reality, planning long distance with the assistance of a great planning team. This event was primarily shot on film using a mix of 35mm and medium format cameras. Digital was used to fill in the gaps, particularly for fast moments. I used a selection of my favorite color and black and white films to create these images.

We were treated to a sunny day in the lush garden which adds bursts of light through the trees. Guests were welcomed to this picturesque Lakewold Gardens wedding with hand painted signs and harp music to lead them to the ceremony. An elaborate semi-circle floral arch was the centerpiece of the ceremony with drapes of dangling flowers and greens cascading around our couple.

Guests mingled and enjoyed their drinks in the surrounding garden areas during reception. Dinner was served on long tables overflowing with gorgeous floral displays, the honeymoon table was bursting with beauty. All of the floral design added to the splendor of the already beautifully orchestrated garden setting for this wedding.

Speeches and toasts and cake cutting followed while the group partied into the night, capping off a wonderful romantic day.

    Red Cedar Farm Wedding | Kate + Ryan

    Kate and Ryan held a fun and romantic wedding at the tastefully eclectic and beautiful Red Cedar Farm in Poulsbo, Washington on a warm August day. Not all farm style weddings include goats and chickens in a clean enclosure and this one certainly delivered. Red Cedar Farm has a lot to offer in terms of spaces to get ready and also to shoot – including a rustic farmhouse, dining and dance hall, greenhouse, gardens and game room with classic pinball machines to play. The owners of the property have their antique collections on display and everything is very tasteful and works with the vibe and style of the venue.

    Our couple had a gathering of their families and friends who got to play cornhole and games on the lawns while enjoying beverages before and after the ceremony. I witnessed Kate whoop butt on numerous rounds of cornhole. A delicious pizza dinner hosted by Fat Zach’s pizza was a crowd pleaser. Pizzas are baked on site in their mobile wood fired oven adding spectacle and flavor to their pies, their pickle pizza is one to be sure to try.

    The clean style of the venue and the delicate design choices made by the couple paired very nicely to create an elevated farm style experience. We coordinated a sparkler exit for Kate and Ryan which created some excellent photos at the end of the day. We had a lot of fun working together on this event and it was a breeze to shoot when everyone is having fun!

      Mount Peak Farm Wedding | Brittany + Jacob

      Brittany and Jacob planned a beautiful event for the Mount Peak Farm wedding in Enumclaw, WA. A rustic but elevated farm style venue situated in the foothills surrounding Mt. Rainer. Simplicity of style and bold colors set the tone for the look of this wedding, I particularly enjoyed their floral choices and Brittany’s dress. A fun gathering with family, kids and friends is always a blast to shoot. I focus on candid photos and details the most and try my hardest to capture the feeling as well as the events of the day.

      I shot this wedding on Digital and Analog Film – opting for a mix of 35mm color and black and white film stocks. This was my first wedding gig using a mirrorless camera, the Nikon Zf and it handled the task beautiful – excellent colors from that camera with lightning fast autofocus, a perfect compliment to my film setup. For 35mm film I shot using a Contax G1 rangefinder and a Nikon F100.

        Kitsap County Courthouse Wedding – Elsa + Andrew

        You decide the wedding you want to have and who gets to partake. If you want to plaster “Just Married” on the rear window of your lowered Toyota Cressida then let’s do it! Elsa and Andrew had a very simple wedding day but I think you’ll agree that these photos make it look like a wild day. That is the power of photography, right place, right time.

        We shot Elsa + Andrew’s Kitsap County courthouse wedding on a mix of digital and film but what I’m sharing is primarily analog film in 35mm and 120 format. I shot on these with a Nikon F100, Contax G1 and some portraits with the Pentax 67. Film stocks utilized were Kodak Tri-X 400, Cinestill 400D, Kodak Gold 200.

        Small events can be incredibly fun, I love it when my couples are living in the moment and allow me to be there to catch it all.

          Wright Park W.W. Seymour Conservatory Intimate Wedding – Raquel + Tyler

          Raquel and Tyler tied the knot during a intimate wedding ceremony shared with their close family members. This small wedding took place at the W.W Seymour Conservatory located in Wright Park in Tacoma, WA in the Spring of 2025. We opted to shoot this event with a hybrid setup, meaning a mix of digital photos and a mix of film photos. I brought along some of my favorite analog film cameras including the Contax G1 rangefinder and the Mamiya C220 TLR. I think we came away with some stunning images that really captured the vibe of the day. I love working on small events like this, very little agenda, just pure magic. Film exposes differently and reacts differently to light than digital, so even the same settings on the cameras can produce different results. I like the soft, rich and textured feel of film and love to shoot it when it makes sense for the event.

            Front Porch Project

            A long overdue post back from the 2020 COVID era – I certainly wasn’t the only photographer who came across this idea and had fun with it. To photograph people in our community from the CDC social distancing guidelines. Observe the boundary placed before us and make something with it.

            Shot on a few formats – the bulk of what is shown is shot on a Pentax 6×7 medium format body with the 105/2.4 lens; there’s a couple shot on the Mamiya 645 1000s. All black and white images are shot on Kodak TriX 400 film. I hand processed the negatives at home and scanned these myself using the Epson V500 flatbed scanner. The color shots were shot on the long discontinued and Fuji Fp-100c peel-a-part film, shot using the Intrepid 4×5 Field Camera and Nikkor 180/5.6 and a Polaroid back.
