Seattle Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Bayne Photography was founded on a lifelong passion for capturing meaningful moments. Since receiving my first camera in third grade, I have dedicated myself to perfecting the art of photography, transitioning from newspaper photojournalism to specializing in weddings, senior portraits, and family photography in 2006. My background as a former photojournalist for The Bellingham Herald and Washington State University's Daily Evergreen has equipped me with a unique eye for authentic storytelling. I prioritize building personal connections with clients to create images that reflect their individuality and cherished relationships. With over 15 years of professional experience, I combine technical expertise with a relaxed, client-focused approach.

My work has been featured in numerous local publications, and I continue to serve Snohomish County and surrounding areas including Seattle and Bellingham. I believe photography should be an enjoyable experience that results in timeless images families will treasure for generations. Each session is tailored to capture natural emotions and special milestones, whether documenting a wedding day, a senior's transition to adulthood, or a growing family. My commitment to quality extends to using professional-grade equipment and advanced editing techniques to ensure every final image meets the highest standards. I am grateful to have turned my childhood passion into a career that brings joy to both myself and my clients.
