Scotty + Erik were married at Erik’s family home — the place he grew up — making their wedding day feel especially grounded and personal. As a Seattle film photographer, I’m always drawn to celebrations like this, where history and emotion are already built into the space. Their day unfolded slowly and intentionally, surrounded by the people who know them best, allowing moments to happen without interruption. Shot on a mix of digital, 35mm film, and 120 this gallery reflects a wedding rooted in familiarity, warmth, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need embellishment to feel powerful.
