KYRA & ANDREW

The single greatest gift to a photographer is subjects who lean into their feelings and let them show. Some people are naturally demonstrative like Kyra and others are more reserved like Andrew. And that’s okay. All I advise to the reserved folks is when you get that feeling, or that idea of how to reach out to someone, don’t overthink it. Just lean in and show it, whatever it is. The recipient will love it and I’ll be patiently waiting for it. Andrew did just that. It was a delight to watch him and everyone around him warm up as the night went along.

Kiana Lodge Wedding

Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington, was the perfect find for a destination wedding. Its rustic lodge has a grand stone fireplace and exposed beams, creating cozy fireside romance. The Garden Atrium offers bright, greenery-filled indoor space shielded from cold. Waterfront views, evergreen surroundings, and private seclusion ensure a magical, heartfelt celebration with Pacific Northwest charm.
