Olympia, Washington Backyard Wedding | Jordan & Ace

Jan

12

Jordan & Ace were my very first couple to have a backyard wedding and oh boy did they not disappoint! When I asked Jordan how they pulled it off she said her Dad got to work and the entire family pulled together to create the most perfect DIY day! We met at the Yashiro Japanese Garden for their formal session and some group portraits then headed to Jordan’s family farm to gear up for the big event.

Their ceremony overlooked the prettiest field with horses out to pasture and one of my favorite arches to date. This family and friend circle is so stinkin tight it was impossible not to capture. The light was perfect with a later afternoon ceremony and plenty of shade to work with at the Garden’s during high noon!

Their ceremony was so sweet with plenty of laughs, love, and celebration. Everyone was so calm and happy, I could photograph this exact wedding twenty times over and never find myself tired of the support we were surrounded by. I am so so grateful to Jordan & Ace for inviting me to document such an amazing day!

We traveled deep into the Swiss mountains, ate all the yummy food, met old friends, went to a dance party, made some new friends, enjoyed a private sauna with an impressive view, took naps, snuggled, and went on […]

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]
