hi, i am Shae!

If you are here, I can only assume that you are like me and love life's simplest moments, reading romance books and a cozy night in with your love. Living life like a Nicholas Sparks movie.

Me too, sweet friend.

I've been documenting love stories for over 5 years now and life's precious moments long before that. Nothing moves me more than giving couples like you a way to hold onto your legacy—tangible memories you can reach for, forever. There's something powerful about creating images so full of life that they stop you in your tracks, pull you right back into that moment and make you relive those memories over and over again.

That’s the magic I chase with every image.

1. I was born & raised in Washington State.
2. I grew up riding quads + camping every weekend.
3. I thrive at the beach or anywhere near a body of water (pisces obvi).
4. Margaritas, always.
5. I am engaged to my very best friend!!
6. I was raised on 80's rock and 90's country music - I swear I was born in the wrong generation.
7. In my free time, you can find me reading, strolling the aisle of an antique store and chasing sunsets.
8. New girl, Criminal Minds, Vampire Diaries.
9. I have a full tattoo sleeve along with many other tattoos.
10. My love language is quality time + acts of service.
11. I love the imperfectly perfect moments the most.
12. Scotland and Ireland are bucket list locations for me to visit.

Here's what makes me different

Hi, I’m Shae. I’m a soon-to-be wife, storyteller, and coffee enthusiast—with a soft spot for thrifting, romance novels, and chasing sunsets. Most days, you’ll find me wandering the aisles of a local bookstore, picking out fresh blooms at the farmers market, or hunting for hidden treasures in antique shops. I’m a hopeless romantic at heart, and nothing matters more to me than slowing down and soaking up life’s most meaningful moments. My friends would tell you I’m always laughing, smiling, and finding new ways to make memories with the people I love. My heart is at its fullest when I’m documenting love stories—the real, beautiful, nostalgic kind that deserve to be remembered forever.

YOUR FAV PHOTO + VIDEO DUO

What began as two people with a passion for capturing life’s most meaningful moments has turned into something so much more. We started this journey side by side, simply doing what we loved—chasing light, laughter, and love through our lenses. And now, we have the absolute honor of doing that together for couples stepping into one of the most beautiful chapters of their lives.

Joey—my main videographer, my biggest supporter, and (yes!) my fiancé—has a gift for seeing the story behind every glance, every touch, every tear. On your wedding day, he quietly captures it all—the real, the raw, the breathtaking—preserving it forever through his films. His vision is rooted in emotion, and he brings so much heart into every frame he creates.

The magic? We’re completely in sync. While I gently guide you into natural, timeless poses, Joey is right there beside me, capturing each moment as it unfolds. There's no chaos, no confusion—just a calm, creative rhythm that allows you to feel fully present. He’ll step in if something extra is needed, but otherwise, you can just breathe it all in. We’re not here to over-direct or force anything—we’re here to witness, to feel, and to tell your story exactly as it deserves to be told.

Because for us, this isn't just about photos or films. It’s about love—yours, and ours—and the privilege of turning your once-in-a-lifetime moments into memories that will live on for generations.

A timeless, emotional retelling of your day you’ll treasure forever. Genuinely, two wildly talented artists… and two new best friends by your side.
