Three Seattle natives who bonded over their love for moment keeping and alpine skiing.

I first met Maya in Barcelona through a mutual friend in 2017. Fast forward three years, and we reconnected during the pandemic and became fast friends through skiing. Around that time, Maya was also discovering her love for photography—a happy coincidence that led me to invite her to join me at a wedding as a second shooter.
Maya has an effortless gift behind the lens. She's a momentsniper in a crowded room, zeroing in on those fleeting, beautiful moments and capturing them candidly, yet always in the most flattering light.
step one
LET'S MEET!
After confirming your wedding date availability, we'll arrange a call or video chat to get to know each other and discuss the best coverage options for your wedding day. Or if you prefer, we can handle everything conveniently via email.
step two
I will send you a quote so that you can mix and match your perfect wedding coverage package and see the price calculated in real time. I will also send you a few full wedding galleries from similar weddings so that you can get an idea of what to expect your final product to look like.
step three
Once you have accepted a quote, I will send a contract and an invoice your way. I ask a 25% retainer be paid to save your wedding date and the remaining 75% balance to come after your wedding day when your sneak peek is delivered.
step four
Before your day arrives, we'll have a follow up chat via email or video call. We'll make sure we are up to speed on the timeline, any formal photo combinations you'd like captured, and anything else I should know before your special day. Then all there's left to do is show up and turn some milestones into masterpieces!
STEP FIVE
I will send you a sneak peek of 15-20 edited highlight photos in a gallery the following week (some couple photos, your first kiss, first dance, etc.) Then remaining photos will be edited and delivered within 4-6 weeks!
