Seattle-based Weddings and portraits

I am a Seattle-based wedding and portrait photographer who shoots documentary-style photos. Part of the concept of documentary photography is showcasing aspects of everyday life, and I want to help you do that. It's important to capture the essence of you as a whole, and your story, not just what someone would see from a traditional portrait session or wedding gallery.

unique photos to share your unique story

We live in a fast-paced environment where our activities are rushed, and each moment slips through our fingers. We are often unable to cherish or spend time in these moments, as we are immediately moving on to the next thing.

Photography has the remarkable ability to capture these moments and transform them into tangible memories where we slow down, observe, and appreciate the beauty and emotion in the world around us. You have a unique story that requires unique documentation. We will work together to share your beauty, emotions, and world.

documenting the beauty of God's creation

God created so many aspects of this world with incredible beauty. From the sprawling landscapes he carefully sculpted to each individual person on this earth, careful thought and creativity can be seen in everything. My goal is to help document some of that beauty and allow you to cherish each moment in his wonderful work.

for the love of those everyday moments

hello, everyone

I'm Anika!

I absolutely love photography and capturing the beauty of people. I started getting interested in photography after taking media and photo courses in high school. Since then, I have dedicated a lot of time and energy to learn everything I can about shooting and capturing images in an art form.

I made it official and first began my business at the beginning of 2023. Since then, I have continued my learning process as it relates to running a business and connecting with new clients. 

Business aside, I would love to share some things about myself! Yes, I am a photographer, but I also enjoy other activities like traveling, spending time with friends, reading, and hiking. Some of my previous travels have taken me to Rome, Florence, London, Paris, and Amsterdam, and I am so excited to continue traveling the world. Some of my bucket list locations include Scotland, Egypt, Greece, and Portugal. Check with me for discounted rates if you are planning a destination wedding in these places. 

Now that I've shared a bit about me, I am so excited to get to know you and begin to work on our creative project! I am looking forward to joining you and working to share your story through photos. 

hey, there!

a letter to photographers

Dear photographer friends,

If you have gotten to this site, whether it be by accident or with complete intention, I have some specific information for you to check out. In addition to my regular portrait work, I find a lot of joy and fulfillment helping other photographers network and get content. I love hosting styled shoots and networking events to meet one another and to be able to connect with different vendors. A lot of the wedding industry revolves around who you know and who you are willing to recommend for your couples. Styled shoots give everyone a little taste of each other's work and they can be a great way to practice posing with couples, without the constraints of a traditional wedding timeline. I look forward to meeting you! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. There are additional resources for photographers that are available, as well! You can find them here...
