For the ones who choose love over everything else
Thank you for reaching out. I’m so glad you did
Some love stories weren't made for big ballrooms.
They were made for mountaintops. For misty mornings in the Pacific Northwest. For the two of you, barefoot in the wild, saying everything that matters with no audience or small guest list, no agenda — just presence.
If you've felt the pull toward something more intimate, more intentional, more you — you're in the right place. This is where your day gets to look exactly like your love.
I know what it’s like to look back and wish you had it all on camera. That’s why I show up the way I do: unhurried, prepared, and fully there
Adventure, quietly photographed
Meet your photographer
Hi, lovely couple — I'm Bernadette.
I’ve photographed love stories for 10+ years. I didn’t have a photographer at my own wedding, and it’s my biggest regret. I won’t let it be yours. Calm, honest, and always on your side. You bring the love, I’ll handle the rest
Bernadette made us feel completely at ease from the very first message. By the time our wedding day came, she felt like a friend." — Shawn & Brandy
EVERY WEDDING & ELOPEMENT INCLUDES:
A Documented Experience That Feels Like You
No cookie-cutter timelines, no rushed poses, no forgetting what matters most. Every couple I work with gets a fully personalized approach — because your love story is yours alone, and your photos should feel that way.
Timeline Planning That Takes the Stress Off Your Plate
I'll help you build a day-of timeline that flows naturally and protects the moments that matter most — golden hour portraits, quiet in-between moments, and everything you didn't even know you'd want captured.
Unlimited Planning Support from Someone Who Gets It
I've been there — I know what it's like to wish you had someone in your corner who actually knows the industry. I'll answer every question, share location ideas, help you plan your first look, and be your go-to resource from the moment you book until the moment we wrap up.

Yes of course! Photography is a big expense that is worth it and you need to be able to make payments how it fits for you.
There are 2 plans. Both are 30% down.
First plan is broken into 3 payments
Second plan is broken up equally until your date.

We work with it — and honestly, some of the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever taken were in moody, overcast, or rainy conditions. The Pacific Northwest has its own kind of magic in any weather. We'll have a plan and a backup, and I'll keep you calm no matter what the sky is doing.

Some locations do require permits, and yes — I'll walk you through exactly what's needed and where to get it. I've navigated this process many times and I'll make sure nothing gets missed before your day arrives.
