Snowy Trash the Dress Session in the Cascade Mountains

This girl defines powerful to me. If only everyone could meet her, know her, and see for yourself her strong spirit, and her powerful attitude. The motivation and inspiration behind this session grows from hope, new chapters in life, being exactly the woman you want to be, and living your life the way that YOU want to. Lizzy thrives in the snow. So it was only fitting that we chose a snowy location for her trash the dress session.

We photographed this entire session on film, using a Canon 1V and 50mm f/1.2 lens, plus a Hasselblad 500C with 80mm f/2.8 lens.

Dress: Lea Ann Belter
Nail polish: Julep
Accessories: Nordstrom & Forever 21

ready to tell your story?

Hi, I’m alex! A seattle wedding photographer who’s been documenting your stories since 2009.

I fell in love with photography almost 20 years ago in a darkroom class, and that love has never faded. What started as a darkroom class in college turned into photographing my first wedding solo in 2010,and I was hooked. The joy. The emotion. The vows. The details. The people.

I realized quickly that my fulfillment came from helping people see themselves in a beautiful, honest way. I move calmly. I guide confidently. I know how to capture all the angles and candid moments without you even noticing. My couples often say I have “photo superpowers” because of how much I capture while still keeping everything feeling easy and low-pressure.

Some photographers find wedding days chaotic.

I find them electric.
