Lead Photographer & Owner
Hello there! I am Ann Marie
I am passionate about ensuring your day is an amazing experience in the moment and captured beautifully for years to come. As your down to earth, nerdy, adventure seeking, sunset watching, microbrew loving, book reading, wedding & elopement photographer, I would love to see if I am a good fit for you and your day!
sEE more about me Below
"Ann Marie is such an amazing, talented, and kind human! She made a great first impression and continued to exceed our expectations.
-Brody + Mckenzie
Our pre-wedding conversations were met with such care and detail, helping us really feel ready for the big day.
On the day of our wedding, she helped us feel comfortable and confident. Every photo itinerary item was met, and we appreciated her creative ideas while always following our overall vision. My friends and family were also SO impressed with her communication skills and overall process. You won’t be disappointed in the slightest - could not recommend her more :)"
...and started my business in 2015. By 2017 I went full-time in my business and absolutely love what I do! From falling in love with film photography as a kid, to buying my first dslr for myself in high school - photography has always been something I am passionate about.
I am also a native Oregonian, celebrating 14 years of marriage this year, love traveling and exploring new places. I have a BS in Geology, worked in the housing industry for a while and a few other careers I tried out before turning my passion for photography into my career. A few other fun facts to get to know me:
- My husband and I were foster parents
- I am a complete book nerd
- My husband and I do nomadic living/traveling in our RV when we can
- Love sailing and we currently have a 23' day sailer moored in the Puget Sound
- I love animals and am a cat mom
- Tea drinker and a morning person
- I love beautiful sunsets & sunrises
- My husband and I winter in Arizona when we can and claim AZ as our second home
- Quality experiences will always have my heart
I photographed my first wedding in 2005...
