Washington & Arizona Wedding Photographer
27 years in the Pacific Northwest, 1 year in Arizona. Both have some of my favorite places to take photos with your loved ones!
Who am I hiring?
Hey! I’m Blake — I’m a wedding, engagement, family, and commercial photographer based here in Arizona. I’m pretty grateful to call the desert home, and I love getting to photograph people in these landscapes that feel both rugged and calm. And if you’re planning something outside Arizona, I’m always down to travel.
Whether you’re imagining downtown vibes, open desert, cozy indoor spaces, or even a destination adventure (yes, Hawaii is still a strong “please take me with you”), I’d love to document whatever season you’re in. I try to be as helpful as possible, so if you need location ideas, outfit suggestions, or even a good food or sunset-spot recommendation, just reach out. Even if I’m not your photographer, I’m always happy to help you enjoy what Arizona has to offer.
I specialize in wedding photography and typically shoot about 75% digital and 25% film. I also collect old film cameras and still love shooting disposables with friends — so whatever you’re after, I’m here to help you capture it in a way that feels like you.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with @mollyrayparfums this year to highlight their new and current perfumes!
Such a cool experience getting to see all of these perfumes (years of Molly & teams effort & research) all laid out in one studio!

Some special margaritas in Lake Chelan with @margaritachelan ! Pretty special rental near and dear to my heart, if you’re looking for a place in the area!
My personal favorites things to do in Chelan are wine tasting with @abby.pnw , off roading (this summer so far with @chase.edson ) & enjoying the lake and wake surfing

I miss Colorado, and golden light hitting a 7:00am cast
horses, fly fishing, hiking, the best views, cold whisky, & absolutely everything in between. If you looking for a special place to spend some time on a remote, luxury guest ranch in the Colorado/Wyoming area, let’s go I’m in.

a very special week back in September spent with @rawahguestranch 🐎✨🐴🎣
horses, fly fishing, hiking, shooting, cowboys, cowgirls, & absolutely everything in between. If you looking for a special place to spend some time on a remote, luxury guest ranch in the Colorado/Wyoming area, let’s go!
Favorite part of the trip…, watching horses get pushed out from the ranch, run through the woods, and cross a river to head to a field to rest for the evening.
Jill & Lawrence on film. These two celebrated 15 years of dating, and got married, all this summer. You two, everyone I met at your wedding, and your friends and family, are all incredibly kind, and it was a joy to shoot your wedding.
On the business side, something that I haven't been super clear about is that I'm available to shoot digital, film, or both, and I'm mostly taking on weddings, brands, and businesses (especially smaller, local). If you'd like to work together, you can contact me on my site, or shoot me a dm #leicam6 #summicron35 #portra400 #hp5 #pnwedding
I remember my first gin & tonic (thanks dad) and I remember when @bricesanders made me my first @empress1908gin #sponsored grapefruit gin & tonic (incredible).. and that’s why i’m so excited to partner with them
When the lovely people over at Empress hit me up about a little WA campaign, I couldn’t be more excited. Empress 1908 Gin is a hand crafted spirit from Victoria Distillers in British Columbia, Canada, inspired from the renowned tea + cocktail programs of the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, and it tastes pretty dang good; but maybe try it out for yourself? 💜 #EmpressWA #EmpressGin #EmpressAtHome
Does gear matter? Yes and no. First shot, Leica M240 + Summicron 35, 2nd/3rd shot, Canon 5D MK III + Canon 100 Macro. So why’d I switch to Leica? Link in bio to learn more.. new site isn’t quite done, but if you want a sneak peek maybe take a look around 🖤
..ALSO I’ve seen iphone shots that rival some of my favorite photographs of all time. So what does it take to take better photos? Lighting, composition, subject matter, contrast, color.
Love you & happy wednesday friends
