ABOUT US

Hi, we’re Stefan & Audrey! A married photographer duo based in the far northwest corner of Washington State. We tell most people we’re from “Seattle”, but we actually live in a small farming town right on the Canadian border. We both grew up here, and love everything about it. Close to the mountains, the ocean, and the community of people here is absolutely incredible.

We’re “wedding photographers”, no doubt, but we feel like our job is so much more than that. And not because we take photos of other things sometimes, or travel a lot. But because the way we approach weddings isn’t just with our cameras. It’s with who we are as people. Relational, fun, real, and natural. We’ve been privileged to document over 300 weddings now, and we’ve found that the key for us to capture the best possible photos is the same exact recipe that it takes for us to find the energy and passion to continue doing this job year after year. And that’s to engage our couples in an actual relationship with us, to have a lot of fun along the journey, and make the process one that’s enjoyable without overshadowing the fact that it’s ALL about your love and your story together.

We’ve also found that the best photos are created when the level of trust and creative freedom is at its highest possible point. When inhibitions, fears, and worries are left behind. When the anticipation about what’s around the next curve in the road is stronger than the fear that ‘this drizzle is going to ruin my hair.’ And when our cameras become invisible, and you forget about everything else except the person you are embracing.

It’s been almost 13 years since we officially went into business as photographers. And the road hasn’t always been easy. We’ve learned a lot along the way, and still feel like we learn something new every year. Something we know for sure though, is that we love weddings. We’re genuinely excited every time we’re in the car on the way to one, and we’re not sure how, but we have literally worked with the best people imaginable!

We’re more in love with each other than when we got married more than 14 years ago, and would not be where we are without the loving support of our incredible friends, church, family, and to whom we owe everything, our Lord Jesus Christ. This life is a roller coaster, and we’re screaming at the top of our lungs for multiple reasons.

Things Stefan loves right now: Smoking every type of meat he can get his hands on, making wooden photo frames, playing with our two beautiful kids, working in the backyard, being near the ocean, creating insanely good Spotify playlists, putting everything into a tortilla, scoring the best VRBO finds possible, using excessive GIFs in his text messages, hiking, and the never ending hunt for the perfect beer.

Things Audrey loves right now: Morning runs in the sunshine, coffee on the couch in the morning with the fam, beach combing for agates, almond butter & most other nut butters, snuggling with our 13 year old furchild Gus, really really big salads, laughing with friends, poke, red wine, popcorn, turning on the fireplace even when its 65 degrees out (or just having a bonfire outside if it’s warmer than 65), exploring new places, and as always, Hawaii.
