As a mother with a passion for photography, I have honed my skills to capture those moments we sometimes miss. The gentle touch of a loved one. The glow of someone’s face in the sun. The magic of an engagement. The joy of two people just enjoying one another. These are the things we sometimes miss in our busy days, but things I yearn to capture.

As owner of Framework Photography I am very blessed to live in and capture the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. There is nothing better than capturing the true energy and personality of people as individuals. My photography style is fun and unique to each client. Each time I bring out my camera it is a new adventure. I have had the pleasure of shooting engagements, weddings, new babies, families, friends and of course, my children. Each time brings new surprises and I’m constantly learning and sharpening my abilities.

Recently I shot a wedding for a couple that I had just met over the Summer. The couple had tons of spunk and creativity during

Hi Everyone!  I'm Jackie.  I have been a photographer for about 10 years now specializing in weddings and portraits.  I got started in photography during my time in college while I was taking an intro to photography class and just fell in love.  I loved how it gave me an outlet to create and to offer something to the world.  After doing an internship with a great photographer and mentor, I fell even more in love with weddings and photographing people.  Photography is so powerful and even more so when it is of people you love.  That is what makes it worthwhile!

I now live in the Rivera Nayarit in Mexico (Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Punta de Mita) and love to photograph destination weddings.  It was a big change moving from sunny California to Mexico however, it has been such a wonderful experience to fully immerse myself in the culture and continue to do what I love best: photographing people.

Weddings are my favorite, mostly because I am a hopeful romantic and enjoy hearing

I, Anne Gattilia, am the owner and lead photographer of Elegant Edge Photography.  When I was asked to select only one wedding to feature in this post, I really had to stop and think what makes each of the weddings that I shoot special to me.  The experience is what I always think back on, and Jacqueline and Stephen’s wedding was a particularly special one. We kept an eye on the weather all week leading up to the wedding, and the forecast was just rain, and lots of it.  I was sure to prepare my couple with the possibility that it would not be the beautiful day that every couple hopes they will have.

The morning of the wedding, that possibility became a reality; it was pouring and the radar showed no hope of a break.  My couple (as well as the bridal party and all of the guests) took it all in stride.  Dresses were hiked up when necessary, and all the splashing through puddles was done while smiling and celebrating.

The church was beautiful and so perfectly lit that it was simple
