A wedding is a celebration of the start of your marriage (duh), but that means you can celebrate however you want! Want to run off to the beach for photos at sunset? Let's do it. Want to get married in your own backyard? Absolutely. Want to go hiking and say your vows in front of a mountain? Say less. Love the idea of a first dance but not thrilled about feeding each other cake in front of family and friends? All traditions are optional. No matter what your wedding day looks like, I'd be honored to document it for you.
Beaches, Mountains, and BAckyards
Capturing the profound beauty of intimate weddings and adventurous elopements.
My passion is documenting smaller weddings and elopements (less than 100 guests.) I believe that the best photos come from genuine connections and authentic moments. My approach is all about capturing the real you—your laughter, your love, and the little details that make your love unique. If you’re looking for stiff, overly posed portraits, and big flashy editorial vibe, I might not be the right fit for you. But if you want a relaxed, joyful experience that results in photos full of emotion and personality, we’re going to have an amazing time together!
I live for the UNSCRIPTED moments, those little moments in between.
Tacoma Wedding Photographer
I want to photograph you, just as you are.
At Moore Holistic Photography, I believe the best photographs come from genuine connection. My approach is simple: I take the time to get to know you, so your photos reflect the real you.
With 12 years of experience behind the lens, I specialize in creating images that feel as authentic as the moments they capture. Whether it’s a small wedding, elopement, or documenting life’s everyday magic, my goal is to give you photos you’ll treasure for years to come.
Based near Tacoma, I love working with local families, couples, and individuals who value artistry, warmth, and a relaxed photography experience. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring the PNW with my family, snuggling my four cats, or embracing the beautiful chaos of motherhood.
My heart does a little happy dance! I see your inquiry pop up on my phone and I can't wait to read all about your dreams day. I'll be responding within 24 hours (likely from my couch, kids put to bed, and starting the latest true-crime series).
We'll set up a time to chat (video, text, phone, or in person)! No pressure, just a friendly conversation about your vision, your story, and what makes your love unique. I can't wait to hear your ideas and get started planning your engagement session. We'll keep in touch throughout the wedding planning process and I'm here to help with any of the tricky details. Together, we'll co-create a day that feels completely and utterly like you.
Ready to begin the adventure? It all starts with a simple hello. You’ll not only be hiring a photographer but gaining a supportive friend who is genuinely invested in helping you celebrate your love in the most authentic way.
Let's create images that will make you look back and say...
That's us.
Okay I get it, that sounds crazy. But intimate weddings/elopements can look SO different. Whether you're exchanging vows at sunrise on a mountain peak or sharing a quiet first dance at sunset, we'll work together to create a custom timeline that feels relaxed and authentic to you.
Almost all packages will come with a complimentary engagement session. This allows us more time to get to know each other and create beautiful images together.
You will receive all your photographed memories in an online gallery sent straight to your email. You'll have the option to purchase any prints or albums directly with me or through your gallery. And trust me, your photos will be begging to be displayed.

Philomena shot our backyard wedding and she was the best photographer! Her eye and style is amazing and is great at making you feel comfortable and at ease while getting the best shots. She is very easy to work with, so nice, and professional.
Philomena photographed our wedding and was incredible! She made us feel comfortable and confident. I love looking back through our wedding photos and I can't recommend Moore Holistic Photography enough.
She is really great about making you feel comfortable, but also making the whole experience so fun. I highly recommend Moore Holistic Photography if you want natural pictures that are about capturing moments rather then just posing for a picture. She was there for my reception, elopement and we also did a couples session! I really appreciated and loved my experience! I can’t wait to work with Philomena again.
Absolutely! I am passionate about adventuring with couples to capture their day. I am based in Lacey, WA and frequently travel throughout the area. I'm comfortable traveling to several of the national parks as am familiar with many hikes/trails. For destinations beyond, I offer custom quotes that include all travel expenses, so you have one simple, upfront price. I'd love to hear about your dream location!
I would describe my style as authentic and emotive. I focus on genuine moments, soft natural light, and the real connections between you two. While I'll provide gentle guidance to make you feel comfortable, my goal is to document the feeling of your day...the laughter, the quiet tears, the stolen glances...so your photos are a true reflection of your love story, not a series of stiff poses.
This is my specialty! I promise you, nearly every couple says this. My approach is not about posing you stiffly but about gently guiding you into natural interactions and moments. I'll give you easy prompts that feel more like activities than poses, like "whisper to your partner about that inside joke" or "take a quiet moment and just hold each other." Almost all my wedding packages come with a complimentary engagement session so we can get to know each other and practice being in front of the camera. My job is to make you feel comfortable so your authentic selves can shine through.
100% yes! I consider myself a partner in your day. Once you're booked, I'm happy to help you craft a realistic and relaxed timeline that ensures we get gorgeous light and plenty of time to celebrate. I also have a list of beautiful location recommendations for elopements and am always excited to help you find the perfect spot that fits your vision. I'm super comfortable hiking around and have spent many hours in Mount Rainier National Park, the Olympic National Park, and plenty of other trails in Washington.
To officially book your date, I require a signed contract and a retainer of 50% of the total package cost. This retainer secures your date on my calendar and kicks off our planning process! The remaining balance is then typically due before your wedding day. I also offer flexible payment plans if needed because I believe investing in your memories should be as stress-free as the experience itself. Contact me today to get started!
You want your wedding gallery to tell the real story of your day. The joyful tears, the uncontrollable laughter, and the quiet, intimate moments in between. You value genuine connection over stiff, posed perfection and want to remember exactly how it felt to marry your favorite person.
Your day is uniquely yours, and you're looking for a photographer who honors that. You want a guide who will help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, capture your vision effortlessly, and allow you to be fully present, knowing every meaningful detail is being cared for.
You appreciate that you’re not just hiring a vendor, but an artist who is passionate about telling your story. You love the idea of working with a small business that invests deeply in its community and celebrates the profound connection of love in all its forms.
