Gallery A.1

chasing sunshine & good stories

Adventure Wedding Photographers with a heart for the outdoors and a passion for honest imagery. Based in Seattle, Washington, the PNW, and beyond.

Picture Lake is aptly named. Pay close attention a Picture Lake is aptly named. Pay close attention and you’ll see this little lake pop up all over the place, on products, advertising, postcards, paintings, weddings, instagram and art galleries, it’s kind of everywhere!

But as famous and as busy as it is, very late in the evening, when it’s all blue and purple and the sun has dipped out for the day, you can still get a few moments to yourself

35mm + black and white = magic

A lot of folks who come to us are big fans of our true-to-life color edits (which, thank you! We're fans of them too!) but I'm always surprised how many people say they don't like black and white photos. Which hey, I get it. But I make it my mission to create at least ooonnnee black and white photo per gallery that changes their mind. There's something particularly perfect & clarifying about distilling an image down to merely highlights and shadows, and it's forever my favorite.

Omg, it's me?? On instagram? Here with an announce Omg, it's me?? On instagram? Here with an announcement that I'm actually almost caught up on blogging? I know, you thought it would never happen. Tbh, I didn't either. But I'm almost done! And this beautiful weekend (along with lots of others) are up on the website now, so go feast your eyeballs on beautiful people in love whilst in beautiful places. 😘🙏

Ok, now I’m off to disappear from this app again for the next 4 months! (Just kidding. Kinda. 😜)

Hello, beautiful people! It's been a hot minute, b Hello, beautiful people! It's been a hot minute, but we're still here, deep in winter and talking with lots of lovely folks about their 2023 elopements. At some point, hopefully I'll get my shit together and blog some of the spectacularly beautiful days we had last year, but no promises. 😅 It is still January after all, and I dunno about y’all, but motivation to do literally anything but eat baked goods and stay under warm fleecy blankets is at an all time low. 

Be gentle with yourselves & stay warm til spring, my friends!

I’ve been slowly digging myself out of the editi I’ve been slowly digging myself out of the editing backlog and realized I hadn’t posted anything from this adventure wedding yet! We had a delightful time hanging out with these two in the North Cascades for their private vow exchange and then a week later at Captain Whidbey for their wonderful intimate wedding/rock concert. They were so sweet and extremely chill throughout the entire process, but the only thing they expressed concern about was “Oh we are so awkward in front of the camera! You’ll have such a hard time getting us to look good in photos!”

Sure, okay, WHATEVER, you gorgeous people. 😂

(For the record, every couple says this to us and it’s nothing but lies 🤣❤️)

Working on finishing up this delightful gallery to Working on finishing up this delightful gallery today from one of our favorite favorite favorite weddings of this year. Elizabeth & Thomas were so welcoming from the beginning, lovely to work with, and we got to spend the whole day surrounded by our beautiful backyard of Whidbey Island and as a bonus, got to hang out with the best dang team of vendor friends around. ❤️❤️

When your friend and fellow elopement photographer When your friend and fellow elopement photographer breaks her foot the day before an elopement, sometimes you wind up with the sweetest, loveliest bonus couple and a rad time exploring the beautiful misty mountains of the PNW. It was truly a fantastic day, filled with a lot of cool mushroom facts, good snacks, rolling banks of fog and fall color, pika enthusiasm, marmot sightings, and a very large slice of delicious cake that I ate like a starving raccoon in the car ride home with a spoon. 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kseniya & Steven, thank you for having me & so graciously letting me fill in for your wedding day at such short notice and letting me talk way too much about my dogs with you. It was a delight. Go give some love to my beautiful friend Sheilynne @toques_in_the_wild and @pacific_brides. You’re the bomb ❤️
