Real life is beautiful.
This collection of photographs reflects my commitment to authentic
storytelling. Here, I share some of the timeless moments that I have been
invited to experience and preserve. My images are born from real
relationships and real weddings. To me, this is true beauty.
Weddings are sacred.
Your wedding is the union of all that is most meaningful to you. Together,
you will express your love, dedication, faith and style with your family,
friends and future generations. It is a great honor to be entrusted with
your memories.
Photojournalism is my approach.
My mission is to document the emotions, details and unexpected moments that
naturally unfold. The art of photojournalism lies in the photographer's
ability to sensitively and creatively capture the spirit and beauty
of life.
This shared approach to enduring, refined photography grew a
natural kinship between
Susie and Sharlane. This continues to define their philosophy and mission.
Weddings are sacred.
The culmination of courtship,
the dawn of deeper commitment and a celebration of love, faith and personality. Susie and Sharlane recognize the great honor it is to be entrusted with the gift of
documenting these memories.

My approach
Using my background in photojournalism and an intuition for seeing the loveliest potential in each interaction, I discreetly orchestrate the wedding day coverage. I strive to present a timeless art unaffected by fads in photography, and embody a deep held belief that wedding photojournalism should be
not only candid but beautiful.
My journey
It began in the South. I spent my childhood in Memphis and my twenties in Virginia and Georgia. Here I inherited the ideals of gentility, chivalry and hospitality.
My exploration of the northwest began in 1999, where I sought to combine my loves of photography, nature and humanity.
In 2000, I pursued my master's degree in photojournalism at the University of Montana's esteemed School of Journalism and began my professional photography career. Seattle became my home in 2002. Two years later, I married my beau, Paul,
a gentle spirit and an environmental scientist with whom I have the blessing of discovering the world and its endless delights.
