Tulip Festival Engagement Portrait Session in the Skagit Valley

Drag me!

Missy & Chris’ colorful spring engagement session at the tulip fields in Washington’s Skagit Valley was perfect! I drove through thunderstorms and torrential rain to get to this spot worried crazy we’d get rained out, but when it came time to shoot, the sun popped out and was a gorgeous contrast against the rain clouds that pushed off into the distance. What an awesome backdrop!

Missy and Chris are such a sweet pair and this session was a great chance for their quiet, but loving personalities to come out. Missy wore an adorable dress from Nordstrom and switched out her planned shoes for rain boots since we’d be traipsing around in the mud. We shot at the Roozengaarde Tulip Fields in Mount Vernon, WA on the last weekend of the annual Tulip Festival and were the last group to leave the venue that evening! We were treated to a beautiful, warm sunset and fields still in beautiful bloom.

Missy & Chris’ session was featured on Style Me Pretty!

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.
