I'm Jackie

Based on the Oregon Coast, I am an adventurous & candid wedding & elopement photographer in the Pacific Northwest traveling worldwide.

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

I’m always excited to upload my second shooters images. One, I can’t wait to see what they got from their point of view while we shot all day. Two, how big of an ass did I make of myself today? … I could have added a zillion photos to this post but I decided to […]

About a month and a half ago after a night of a few drinks Meg and I sat on the floor of her parents condo in Kauai Facetiming with her sister, Steph. Steph half jokingly said we should meet her in Paris in a few weeks. Without hesitation Meg and I, probably in sync, said […]

I could hear the laughter and stomping of David and the guys upstairs playing beer pong as Liz jumped into her dress. Literally. She pulled and jumped  so hard she popped a button off the ass of her dress. And we all laughed hysterically. The boys playing drinking games in the middle of the afternoon and my […]

I have sat here for hours trying to narrow down the images for this blog post. Hours, not even exaggerating. And I really feel like anything I say won’t do their wedding justice. Won’t do them justice. There was a book at their wedding about them. There was a page that had a part giving […]
