We're Marcella & Donavin
high-school sweethearts, explorers and lovers of all things matcha.
As a husband and wife team and a couple that's been together for over 13 years, we truly understand the beauty of connection and the unique stories that each couple and individual brings.
We specialize in capturing real moments with a creative touch, blending documentary and editorial styles. Marcella’s background in visual art gives us a unique and thoughtful way of seeing each scene, bringing an artistic approach to every shot.
Our love for exploring new places and cultures inspires us to approach each shoot with fresh ideas. Whether it’s a love story, a personal milestone, or simply celebrating life, we’re here to create images and films that feel authentic to you.
When we’re not behind the camera, we’re out exploring local foodie spots and matcha cafes, hopping on a plane to our next adventure, or cozying up at home with our favorite TV series or anime.
We are passionate about telling people's stories
We love capturing the little moments that may go unnoticed, the laughter, emotions, and all the unexpected reactions in between. Our goal is to create images that truly reflect your unique story, and capture it in an honest, authentic, and genuine way.
FUN FACTS:
Marcella is an explorer at heart, and enjoys discovering new places. She loves all things sweet, and her guilty pleasure is old school anime, like inuyasha. She is also only 4'10" so never leaves the house without her platform boots.
MEET MARCELLA,
SEATTLE BASED PHOTOGRAPHER, ARTIST & EXPLORER
Marcella’s love for photography began when she was just 4 years old, and was given her first disposable film camera. She took it everywhere, learning to see the world from a different perspective. In her freshman year of high school, she continued her journey and took a film photography class where she found joy in capturing the little moments and documenting life & the people around her.
However, it wasn’t until she graduated from the University of Washington’s School of Art + Art History + Design in 2020 where she gained a deep passion and love for portraits and creative editorial photography, so much so, that she decided to take a leap of faith and pursue her photography business full-time.
Fast forward to today, Marcella and Donavin run the business together, offering both wedding and portrait photography and videography.
