A note from Aaron
Looking forward to meeting you both.
Dear Ariel and Danny,
Thank you for considering me for your wedding at Silver Cloud. I look forward to hearing more about your plans, from the tea ceremony with family to the celebration with your friends.
With about 150 guests, separate getting-ready rooms, and four to six bridesmaids and groomsmen on each side, two photographers will help us cover the day well. My second photographer is a trusted partner I have worked with for years. We can be in both rooms during preparations and capture your family’s reactions while you exchange vows or offer tea.
You do not need a finished timeline yet. We can talk through your priorities and choose the coverage that fits.
Warmly,
Aaron
About Aaron
Eleven years behind the camera.
I have 11 years of photography experience and have photographed more than 400 weddings. I work with Leica as an official event photographer and am a member of Seattle’s Leica Local Artist community.
My work has appeared in Style Me Pretty, Magnolia Rouge, Washington Wedding Day, Oregon Wedding Day, and The White Wren, among other publications. In 2022, Peerspace named me one of Seattle’s top 10 wedding photographers.

The approach
Natural photographs, with a little guidance.
People before poses
I will help with portraits and let the rest unfold naturally, paying attention to the people and small moments around you.
English & Mandarin
I can guide you and your families in English or Mandarin, helping everyone feel comfortable during portraits and the tea ceremony.
A personal finish
I select and edit every photograph myself; nothing is outsourced. The work on my Instagram and website is the best guide to what you can expect from your wedding photographs, including the color, light, and natural skin tones.
A photography plan
Planning your photography.
Morning preparations
We can photograph both of you getting ready at Silver Cloud, along with the details and time with your wedding party.
Tea & family
We will plan time for the tea ceremony, family portraits, and any outfit changes, then confirm the order and room setup together.
Portraits & vows
We will fit couple and wedding-party portraits around your ceremony. If you are considering a first look, we can discuss how it would work in your schedule.
Your celebration
I will coordinate with your videography team and planner so we can cover the speeches, guests, and reception moments you want to remember.
We will set the photography start and finish times once your ceremony and reception plans are clearer.

Cherry blossoms in Seattle
We can plan portraits among Seattle’s cherry blossoms. The location will depend on what is blooming at the time, with a backup if the flowers or weather change our plans.
With you throughout the planning
Here to help as you plan.
I will stay in touch throughout your planning and work with your wedding planner on the photography timeline, lighting, and layout. In the final month, I will review the timeline with your wedding planner or month-of coordinator. If my schedule allows, I will also attend your ceremony rehearsal.
I know Silver Cloud and would be happy to join you for a venue visit. We can walk through the spaces and discuss how your design ideas will photograph. You are welcome to ask for my perspective as those plans develop.
If you need a wedding planner, month-of coordinator, florist, DJ, officiant, cake designer, or makeup artist, I can share recommendations I have gathered over the years.
