I have been living in the Seattle area for over 25 years now. I moved up here from the SF bay area. The Northwest is an amazing place to live if you're a photographer. Each season offers something new and fresh to photograph.

I live in the wonderful city of kirkland with my wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs and 4 chickens. I can't imagine wanting to live anywhere else in the NW.

I have been very lucky that Media such as National Geographic Magazine, CNN, 425 magazine, Seattle magazine, Seattle weekly, Parade and others have used my photos for different stories. Some of my amazing clients have been Microsoft, Seattle Mariners, HTC, The Four Seasons Hotel, Canadian Tourism Board, Davis Wright Tremaine and the Allen Institute in Seattle. 

I'm excited to have over 135 Five star reviews on weddingwire and have been named one of the best wedding photographers in Seattle for 5 years running. I'm passionate about doing weddings and love meeting new people along the way. I think that weddings photos should reflect the celebration with colors, emotion and beauty. Every wedding I do is important to me, whether it's a small backyard ceremony or a grand church event. We'll work together to put together your timeline so it allows for some great photos but for the Bride and Groom to also be present with all of the guests.

I must say that one of my happiest photo moments was seeing Steve Jobs viewing one of my photos on the brand new ipad during the ipad keynote and release.

I started my fascination with photography as a kid and playing with my dads Nikon cameras and lenses. I knew early on that this creative outlet was going to be a good part of my life. I still have the Yashica Electro 35, Nikon F and Nikomat that I had as a kid as hand me downs from my dad.

I'm a strong supporter of local charities so please let me know if there is some way I can help with my photography.

Thanks for viewing my photos, I truly appreciate it. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] or text me at 425-443-3848.
