the intersection of documentary and artistic story-telling.
Washington & Oregon wedding photography
I know you want to hire people who truly care about your day and not just treat it like any other job with a checklist. It’s my full-hearted promise that your love story (no matter how that looks) is held deeply here. I understand that it’s not always the huge moments that mean absolutely everything. The resonance is in the anticipation before you walk down the aisle and seeing the look on your partner’s face when they think no one is watching, the tremble in your parents hands as they hold yours, the full-throat giggles rippling across the dance floor with the people who are your everything. These are the quiet moments that say a lot in years to come.
Your wedding day is way more than a simple timeline of events; it’s the beginning of a story you’ll spend the rest of your lives telling. Every moment deserves to be documented with care, not treated like a checklist to get through.
I know you don’t want to be pulled away when everyone you love is having a blast. I document your day while letting it occur naturally so you can stay in the moment. What’s the point of pictures of a day that you weren't even there for?
Uneasy about missing out on your own wedding day?
Most of my couples tell me they've never had professional photos taken before, and that’s more than normal. It’s not your job to know what to do; it’s just your job to be present, soak in your day, and show up as yourselves. Leave the rest to me.
Worried about YOU'LL BOTH feel awkward?
I've built meaningful relationships with some incredible wedding professionals and I'm always happy to recommend vendors I trust—people who, like me, are committed to creating a safe, inclusive space, celebrating your love, and bringing wholehearted care to your wedding day.
Not sure where to start with your vendors?
I work closely with my couples to create a photography timeline that unites beautiful light, meaningful moments, and plenty of time to enjoy your wedding day, so you don’t feel rushed through the moments you want to last a lifetime.
Overwhelmed by the planning process?

I'm here to make sure your day is full of feeling safe, seen, and cared for. That’s why no matter what package you choose, I always include:

And on the day of, I'm there to fluff dresses, fix veils, straighten suits, calm nerves, and remind you both that your love is truly all that matters. I strive to be the most supportive hype person, completely grounded in your love.
Timeline Planning & Guidance
A wedding day that feels light always starts with a good timeline, and I know that can instantly make you feel overwhelmed. A good timeline isn’t just full to the brim of fun things; it includes buffers and pockets of time to spend together. More importantly, it can look any way you want. Your day can feel easy, slow, exciting, or full of as much energy as you want it to. I'm here to help, whatever represents you both the most.
35mm Film Photography
Film photography is full of nostalgia and romance, there really is nothing else like it. I include this in every gallery because, honestly, I believe your love deserves it. I know those intentional and really thoughtful touches like this can mean so much more. I care about you having these film photos to cherish forever.
Wedding Planning Resources
I've taken a lot of intentional time to handcraft a wedding guide full of tips, recommendations, and advice to help you feel confident at every step of your wedding planning process, from engagement to the wedding day. I know how overwhelming it can be, so I put this together to make that feel a little lighter.

6. The Best Day Ever
Rosalia & CJ
Maelynn and Kyle were such an incredible duo! The photos they took of us were AMAZING. I am so in awe by how beautiful they turned out. They both were so kind! These pictures will forever be a keepsake in our family, and I am so thankful to have an opportunity to get my photos taken by Maelynn. She is definitely my go to photographer for beautiful, moody, romantic photos. Book her before her slots fill up quick!
Gabriela & Cynthia
I had such a specific vision, something dramatic, romantic, cinematic… almost like a mix of Outlander and Twilight and she did it !!! She captured detail so beautifully and artistically. The photos feel like scenes from a story instead of just pictures. We are still completely in awe. These are the kind of photos I know I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for giving us memories that feel magical.
Madison
Maelynn was a dream to work with! You can truly tell how passionate she is about her art and she goes above and beyond to ensure that she gets every shot. I appreciate how much she hyped me up during my photoshoot and she truly made me feel so beautiful and badass. Would recommend her for any portrait session or major life event!
the Murphys
I could not recommend Maelynn enough!!!!!!!! Me and my Husband (still wild saying that!!) are NOT photography people, and honestly thought we wouldn’t enjoy the pictures that much. Maelynn is not only just the sweetest and most calming presence on big days she also just takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. We also (in the best way possible) did not even notice her on the dance floor or at the reception yet still had the most amazing candid photos of us and our family and friends.
Ruby & Jake
Maelynn and her partner Kyle did our elopement and photography and it was absolutely amazing! We had a beautiful little ceremony in the woods, and afterwards she helped us pose for the most ethereal portraits. They made our wedding day so special and we will always have these incredible photos to commemorate it! We truly can’t thank her enough and we highly recommend her!
Yaremi & Kyle
It’s been a few months since she took my photos, and I’m still not over how beautiful they are. She made the process so easy, guiding my husband and me on exactly how to pose and going above and beyond to capture the perfect shot. My photos look like a movie and tell a story, which is exactly what I was looking for. If you’re looking for unique photos, this is your person!
Shivani & Nathan
Maelynn is an exceptional photographer who exceeded our expectations! She took the time to hear our story and made us feel incredibly comfortable, even though we’re camera-shy introverts. Her ability to capture dreamy, cinematic, and candid moments resulted in photos that are even more beautiful than we envisioned. If you’re looking for someone to do justice to your special moments, like our anniversary shoot/elopement, Maelynn is the perfect choice!
Yanett & Monica
My wife and I eloped with 6 people along with Maelynn and her partner, Kyle, who ordained us! It was such a precious ceremony & moment that we will cherish forever! The pictures came out GORGEOUS. We couldn’t be more grateful! The way she captures all the emotions and moments is everything! I can feel all the emotions & overall soul of every photo and that means the world to me. f numbers had to make a decision for you, my experience a 1000/10! If in doubt, please don’t, Maelynn is the best!
Monica & Hayden
I can't recommend Maelynn enough! We are absolutely in awe over our engagement shoot photos, better than anything I could have imagined. She was friendly, fun, and helped us capture posed shots in a more natural and candid way to get beautiful photos. I told her my inspiration and dreams for the shoot and she just made it happen, and so much better than I ever dreamed. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH MAELYNN, you are incredibly talented!!!
