Every love story is
Photography that gives life to your images...telling your unique love story.
SEATTLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I collided with photography and it changed my life...
Just a 'normal' everyday kinda girl. I love quotes and song lyrics. I love to laugh but must admit sometimes I forget how.
I love the city, I miss the country. I never say no to coffee, especially a double (okay maybe a triple). I like to make up my own words. Most days I like the impromtuness life demands.
My farm girl upbringing and girl next door pony-tail (well mainly while I work), are just part of who I am. Originally from the Prairies of Canada, I have now come to love the Seattle area as my home for almost half my life.

I’m ARLENE...
SEATTLE AREA WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
I am a mom of 2 beautiful girls...who are opposite in everyway, AND challenge me daily to be a better me. I am a loyal and loving friend and I value quality not quantity although I feel blessed to have many friends! Having been a corporate executive and part time model, I am now a full time mom and entrepreneur. Trying, I repeat trying, to balance home life with the self employment world.
To photograph and to be photographed. To build relationships and connection, and to get you to 'feel' something through a photograph. I'm not about stiff and awkward poses or always having to 'look at the camera'. It's about the genuine, quirky, quiet, loving and even the weird love you may share. No degree...no big awards...but a love for people and who they really are! Tell me who you are and let's create something beautiful.
back to about
I have a love for people, their connections, life stories, AND what makes them feel. I love energy & movement and incorporating that into a still frame of a photo. It energizes me to see a wedding day unfold and then bring it together in a visual story form.
I believe God has put me here for a purpose and strive each day to figure out what that is! I am confident yet self-conscious, regular yet extra-ordinary, and I like to think I'm beautifully insecure. I both love & hurt easily... All of this with a side of klutzy once in a while...that's what you get when you like to wear heels I guess! Within all of this I have found a passion for wedding photography as well as photographing life.

Sharing your day with all of the treasured people in your life is such an honor. I love to capture the uniqueness of your day and all of those you love. Taking time to breath and relax, to savor and simply enjoy...not rushing but keeping you on track so you take in your guests and the party you planned. I... stand back to capture the moments that float around me.
I invest my whole heart and soul into your wedding day. Showing up more than 'on time'...helping you with whatever is needed, even if that means sewing the zipper on your gown or wiping your sweat on my dress.
Creating emotive imagery is where my passion lies.

Every couples story inspires me. From the choice of venue, the details, and the way they interact and love each other. Often nerves can play a role, making sure you know we are never in too big of a rush to not breathe!!! Breathe, relax, take it all in!
Photography is one of the most important things to consider during your wedding planning. Yes it's an investment and one that is a forever decision. These are heirloom photos, to pass on for generations and I don't take that responsibility lightly!
Your story and relationship are unique and telling it in a way that is true to you is something I cherish. I don't 'have' to tell it...I 'get' to tell it. From the little details to the big feelings...all the things that show what your love is...I am honored to get to document it so when you look back you remember the day and how you felt!

OH...MY...GOD. You are honestly a magician. How you could make anything look special & unawkward from yesterday is BEYOND ME.
–Felicity & Eric
She did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day down to the little details I wouldn't have even thought to capture, but now are some of my favorite photos and the ones I treasure dearly. She overall is a phenomenal human! Our wedding would not have been complete if it weren't for Arlene.
–Darcy & Tom
Arlene's calm and collected attitude allowed us to slow down, take it all in, and enjoy the process.
–Libby & Richard
We could not have been happier with the quality of service, professionalism and photos that we received. My aunts couldn't stop complimenting the team noticing their style and attention to detail. We put a lot of trust in Arlene, and we am so happy we did!
–Gabrielle & JIMI
Arlene made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us relax and take time to get to know us. She also had us breathe and take time to remember why we were taking this step in our lives.
–Hannah & Ryan
What a pleasure it was to work with Arlene. She's professional, honest, reliable and her passion for photography can be seen in all of her AMAZING photos.
-Somar & Steve
Best. Photographer. Ever. Need I say more?! We could not have been happier with how our wedding photos turned out! Arlene has an eye for the smallest details that truly separate good photos from great photos. We had so many nerves but Arlene has a magical way of making you feel at ease in front of the camera.
–Emily & Steve
Choosing Arlene was the best decision we made for our wedding. Simply put, she was incredible. The bridal party all loved her fun attitude, and we loved her professionalism and responsiveness.
–Eric & Hallie
We knew that was the best “wedding decision” we had made to date and it ended up remaining that way. We hired her for our engagement and wedding photos ANDI also had her photograph a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift to my husband. She is just the very best at her trade and honestly one of the best people I know.
–Briannah & Drew
