Hello brides, grooms, and beloveds!

I’m Batya, and I’m a Pacific Northwest wedding officiant, videographer, photographer, and content creator!


“My husband and I are crying happy tears. We are so thankful that you were there to capture these special moments we did not get to see with our own eyes.”

- Amanda, Bride

Background

I’m Batya (pronounced Bot-Yuh), a wife & mother of two!

My background originally is a career in content creation and social media management for small businesses and events - and after marrying my husband I discovered my passion to create videos and photograph memories for weddings!

“She's smart, professional, and fast. She is fabulous.”

- Disa McCallister, Former Client

My Approach

Deciding how to celebrate the most important moments of your life can feel overwhelming; that’s why I collaborate with couples individually about special moments of their big day, style inspiration, cultural priorities, and take delicate care in considering how each couple envisions starting their next chapter together.

I center the understanding that the moments I capture and lead are ones that will be looked back on again and again for many years; that’s why I offer detailed consultations planning for how these moments should be remembered. After signing a service agreement and accepting a deposit to hold the date, we plan a collaboration together to sit down virtually and discuss all the important details of your day.

I have specific concerns around showing my face or hair on social media in my wedding photos.

No problem. For a $600 privacy fee, your wedding will not be shared by me, and I will only edit your media in private without prying eyes. Photos will be delivered in a password protected album and deleted from my personal devices after delivery.
