And thanks for stopping by! My work reflects my desire to add some whimsy, enchantment and beauty to the world. It is my way of sharing a bit of my heart. I love the laughter and smiles, but I am also drawn to the quiet, intimate moments that are filled with emotion. My goal is to capture the essence of your wedding day, all the little things that come together to paint the big picture.

Thomas and Jocelyne’s Wedding at the Patapsco Female Institute

Wedding

This wedding is particularly near and dear to my heart because the groom is one of my best friends from Stanford.

I just shared photos from the couples shoot from the third Blair + Thurston Retreat, and it reminded me I never shared this downtown Seattle styled shootout with Bre Thurston Photography.
