How long have you been shooting weddings?

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 5 years now and it is my dream job. There’s absolutely nothing better than getting to meet and create beautiful memories with every single one of my amazing clients!

Where are you located/Will you come shoot a wedding in ___?

I’m located right outside of Seattle Washington but I’m very available for travel!

What kinds of photography do you specialize in?

I specialize in natural light wedding and commercial photography! I’ve shot weddings, proposals, engagements, family photos, portrait sessions, and lots of various commercial work. Specifically I work with a few local Seattle and Redmond coffee shops and bars to get them regular social media content!

How much do you charge for ___?

It really depends but I love working with all types of people and all types of budgets. For weddings I start at $3500, elopements, $2500.

What do you shoot with?

I shoot on a Leica M240, two Canon 5D Mk IIIs, a Leica M6, and a Canonet QL 17III. If you love to nerd out over gear please shoot me a dm and let’s talk cameras, and if you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about then let me know what you’re passionate about, I would love to hear about it!

We're a little lost wedding planning, can you help with...?

I'm not a wedding planner, but I would love to help you develop your 'day of' timeline and anything else I can! Contact me!

Seattle, Washington Photographer

The Pacific Northwest is the perfect place to elope, get married, or even just get away and take some photos with your loved ones.

Want the beauty of the PNW mountains and lakes? Perfect, we're less than an hour away. Need a bustling city as your wedding day backdrop? Seattle and Bellevue provide :)

Contact

Who am I hiring?

Hey! I’m Blake, and I am a wedding/engagement/family/commercial photographer in and around Washington state. I love getting to take photographs in the beautiful pacific northwest that I am so lucky to call home, but I also like to travel as much as I can. Whether you’re looking for the city, the outdoors, a nice indoor studio, or Hawaii (please take me with you); I would love to document your memories. I want to be the most helpful person you come across, so if you need location ideas, outfit/color inspiration, or even just some food/view/activity recommendations, hit me up. Even if you don’t hire me, I would love to help anyone enjoy the beauty that the PNW has to offer.

I specialize in wedding photography and generally shoot 75% digital and 25% film. I also like to collect old film cameras and love shooting disposables with my friends. So, whatever style you’re looking for, I’m looking to help you capture it.

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
