Nice to meet you!

I’m Megan.

I’m a Washington State–based photographer with over four years of experience capturing love as it unfolds—raw, fleeting, and full of life. I’m a mama to two little girls through adoption, and motherhood has deepened the way I see connection, light, and the beauty in the in-between moments.

I’m drawn to the Pacific Northwest—the way mountains meet mist, the hush of a forest trail, the glow of golden hour over water. Whether hiking with my family or wandering a new corner of the world, I carry a love for atmosphere, movement, and stories waiting to be told.

My work is documentary in spirit: honest, layered, and alive. I love meeting new people and turning their unique story into imagery that feels like memory, not just a photograph—a collection of moments you can step back into, again and again.

I capture real moments with a poetic, storytelling eye, blending movement, emotion, and storytelling into images that feel timeless, artful, and alive. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest, my work turns light, landscape, and connection into photography that looks like memory and feels like magic.

My Editing Style

Film-inspired, true-to-life editing with an emphasis on natural skin tones, soft highlights, and rich, slightly muted color. Images are cohesive, cinematic, and honest—focused on preserving the real mood and energy of the day rather than chasing trends.

I create images that move—literally and emotionally. My approach blends documentary storytelling with intentional posing, capturing real moments while guiding people in a way that feels natural, poetic, and artful. I love photographing couples and families who are willing to be present, move through their day, and trust the process, letting their connection shine through in every frame.

I’m drawn to beautiful, inspiring places—from sun-drenched hills to moody Pacific Northwest forests—and I let the environment play a role in shaping the story. My editing has a film-inspired edge, with soft, true-to-life colors, rich blues and greens, and occasional sun flares. I aim to create images that feel timeless, cinematic, and full of feeling, whether it’s a golden afternoon or a misty, magical PNW day.

Is your photography style right for us?

My approach is documentary at its core, with a film-inspired editorial finish. To maintain a cohesive, timeless body of work, there are a few things I intentionally don’t offer:

  • I don’t prioritize stiff posing or overly directed moments

  • I don’t use trendy, high-saturation, or heavily filtered edits

  • I don’t heavily retouch skin or alter natural features

  • I don’t recreate Pinterest shot lists at the expense of authenticity

  • I don’t rush timelines or manufacture moments for the camera

Instead, I focus on honest storytelling, natural movement, and imagery that feels elevated yet true to how the day actually unfolded. If you value presence over perfection and photographs that age beautifully, we’re likely a great fit.

Capturing Every Angle of Your Story

Weddings and elopements are composed of countless fleeting moments—the soft glances, the quiet laughter, the delicate gestures that make your day unforgettable. With a second photographer, we are able to capture your story from every perspective, ensuring that no nuance or emotion is ever missed.

Two sets of eyes allow us to craft a gallery that is layered, full of story, and artfully composed, preserving the light, movement, and intimacy of your day. The result is a collection of images that feels timeless, elevated, and fully alive, a true reflection of your celebration in its most authentic and beautiful form.

I work alongside Mandie—an artful, intuitive photographer whose eye for detail and composition complements my own. Photographing together allows us to hold both the emotional rhythm of a day and its quieter, more fleeting moments, creating space for the story to unfold with depth and care.

The Value of a Second Photographer

  • Capture every angle: Ensure no moment—big or small—goes unseen, from heartfelt glances to quiet gestures.

  • Layered storytelling: Create a gallery that is cinematic, rich, and full of depth, capturing both the main story and the subtle details.

  • Candid moments: Document spontaneous laughter, private connections, and fleeting emotions that make your day uniquely yours.

  • Expanded coverage: While one photographer focuses on key moments, the other captures complementary perspectives and details.

  • Timeless artistry: Resulting in a complete, artfully composed gallery that feels immersive, alive, and unforgettable.

Hey there,

I’m Mandie

I’m endlessly grateful to share my life with my husband Erik and our sweet daughter Ruth. Together we embrace the delightful chaos of living—climbing mountains that steal our breath, filling our home with music, and sinking into quiet moments of laughter and love.

Photography invites me to see the world anew—to pause, to feel, to honor the stories that make us human. For me, it’s about celebrating your story—the fleeting glance, the raw emotion, the grand adventure. Through my lens, I seek to capture your story with intention.
