Stylish Sodo Park Wedding | Seattle, Washington | Jacy + Tyler

Though last year was my busiest year as a wedding photographer I couldn’t wait to second shoot for one of my best friends at this gorgeous wedding in Seattle, Washington. Shannon and I have been shooting weddings together for more than 5 years, supporting and encouraging each other to grow as artists, and though we shoot together less and less it’s always a treat when we get to combine forces.

Last summer Shannon and I met up in Seattle, Washington to photograph the super stylish wedding of Jacy and Tyler at Sodo Park. The beautiful old warehouse was filled to bursting with flowers, garlands, sparking lights, and smiling faces. The guests were treated to tea and coffee, while the wedding party took care of important things like getting dressed and portraits, and mingled in Sodo Park’s beautiful lobby until it was time for the I- dos.

Once the nuptials were sealed with a kiss the bride and groom were serenaded by their wedding party – the best kazoo band I’ve ever heard! Drinks were had by all, more photos were taken, a feast provided, toasts performed, and finally it was time for dancing.

As Shannon and I piled into our car at the end of the evening, rubbing our feet and thinking of the 2nd dinner we were about to dive into, we couldn’t help but smile as guests leaned out of windows gasping for fresh air between breaking it down on the dance floor.

From behind the lens to inside the gallery—what an honor to document Mandy Arroyo and her latest show, Tender, now on view at Elle Gallery in Portland through August 24th.

This is our third time working together, and it’s been such a joy to witness her evolution—from designer to full-time painter, and now to exhibiting artist. Mandy paints vibrant local landscapes using acrylics and oil pastels—her work is joyful, vibrant, and full of wonder.

If you’re local, go see it in person. You’ll leave inspired.

Mandy, thank you for trusting me to help share your story. It’s always a gift.

Yesterday felt like a dream. Tippy and Nate’s wedding at Timberline Lodge was one of the most peaceful, joy-filled, and magically timed days I’ve ever had the honor of documenting.

The moment we walked into the getting-ready suite, there were friends napping, someone softly strumming an acoustic guitar, and steamy excerpts being read from a romance novel—pure calm and intention. 

The day flowed effortlessly. Family portraits were ahead of schedule, the light was stunning, and every moment felt filled with warmth.

During dinner, Nate casually joined the jazz band on drums (as one does), and then we wandered onto the mountain for the most incredible golden hour portraits. It was slow, cinematic, and absolutely perfect.

Tippy & Nate, thank you for including us in your beautiful wedding at Timberline Lodge. 💕

The first time I visited the Pantheon in Rome it was on accident. I stumbled across a colossal building while wandering the alleys and piazzas and figured I should check it out. 

There was no line, no tickets, no crowd. The entire experience felt a little surreal. 

Ten years later I visit again and now you need tickets to get inside. The sea of people out front is dense with tour guides and panhandling. A little of that magic stolen away.

So the trick is, for the exterior anyway, to visit at dawn. Catch this beauty before the crowds wake up, while the sun stretches over the rooftops to light up the solid marble pillars in golden light. 

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, or honeymoon in Rome, Italy I’d be honored to be your guide and photographer. I can bring you to all the best views and historic locations and know of an excellent private tour guide who can share the history of these beautiful places.
