I’ve been photographing weddings since 2013 absolutely love what I get to do. Living in on the Peninsula outside of Seattle and born and raised near Portland Oregon I love calling the Pacific Northwest my home. I love long weekends at Cannon beach, especially when the weather is cloud. Visiting new countries, states, and cities brings me as much joy as photographing couples from places different places.
My Favorite Person
In 2018 I married my best friend and love of my life, Allie Leaf. We started photographing weddings together in 2017 and she brings a unique perspective to a wedding day that is all her own.
She is my favorite second shooter and always my first choice person to bring along with me to weddings. We have had so much fun photographing weddings over the years.
The PNW has encouraged me to embrace every type of weather and climate. Terrible weather does not mean I need to pack up the camera and run to the car. It means the good photos are just about to start. Sideways wind, bring it on.
I once spent a month living in Japan and I love seeing new places. I would love to travel to your wedding no matter the location.

My Biggest Inspiration
My Wife Allie Leaf
Well before I was a full-time photographer, Allie has been there encouraging me to be the best I can be. She is always there to inspire me to work hard to achieve my goals and to reach new heights in my vision of creating stunning photographs. She happens to be my favorite person to photograph (despite her reluctance).
She is also a talented professional wedding photographer herself. She second shoots alongside me at weddings. There is no one better for me to team up with.
I photograph bands like Taylor Swift, Metallica, Black Keys, Twenty One Pilots, and more for the music publication I started in college called Seattle Music News.
