SEATTLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
SERVICES
HEY! I’M JOE
I’ve been photographing weddings since 2011. This work has taken me around the country, but always brings me back home to Seattle.
The Evergreen State is in my blood and on my skin. I’ve lived my whole life in Washington State and I have tattoos of both the old Seattle Kingdome and Mt. Rainier. I’ve climbed our mountains, slept under the stars (and in the rain), and been chased by the ocean waves. I started making photos on a Minolta film camera in Peru and that thing still sits on my desk today.
I love what I do because I get to see the moments of a wedding and hand back the memories so you can feel the joys of the day all over again.

SAY HI
Send me a message and let’s start chatting. Whether you’re in Seattle or on the moon, let’s make sure dates are available and I want to hear more about your plans for the day.

PLAN IT
Between booking and the wedding, we’ll check in a few times. There probably will be an engagement session in there! I want you to feel comfortable in front of the lens on your wedding day.

relive it
I’ll send you a few preview images right after the ceremony and then the full gallery to enjoy about a month after the wedding. It is always so special the moment wedding delivery packages arrive.

WHY WORK WITH ME?
EXPERIENCE
I’ve been photographing weddings since 2011. I’ve seen it all and we’re going to have a relaxed and wonderful day.
TRUE TO THE MEMORIES
My goal in every moment of a wedding is to create an image that documents the best reality of that sliver of time. I’m not here to tell your story, but to give you the elements to retell it yourself for years to come.
The same goes for my color style. I aim to make photos that are on trend, but make sure the moments themselves are stronger than the edit.
CLIENT FOCUSED
I’m here to create still images for you as a couple. I want to know you rstory, dreams and goals so we can make the images that you will cherish forever. I’ll be in charge when you need and then a fly on the wall a few seconds later.
FLEXIBLE
Life is full of chaos but weddings don’t have to be. I’m practiced in holiding the balance between avoiding the unforeseen and embracing the reality of any day.
KIND WORDS
CIERA & JOHN
A high priority of ours was to have unique yet timeless images from our wedding, and Joe exceeded all of our expectations by delivering a phenomenal set of images. Joe has a thoughtful and creative approach to photography that enables him to capture important moments effortlessly. He included creative and artistic prints in addition to the standard photos that we requested.
Joe was a great resource for us throughout the entire wedding planning process, and we are so grateful to have found him to photograph our wedding + engagement! We would highly recommend if you are interested in a photographer with an artistic eye, good communication skills, and great instincts!
CHARIS & DEBORAH
We could not be happier that we hired Joe for our wedding.
All sorts of people told us how much they liked Joe’s style – he was definitely present to get the shots, but he also blended into the background. He is very, very easy to work with. When he needed to be in charge (like for the group portraits), Joe was professional, communicative, and friendly. And he knows how to work with kids.
We could not believe the quality of some of the photos that Joe took – like how did he get the photo of the rings being passed across the aisle? Or the perfect moment of a handshake? Or moments of laughing when we thought no one was watching?
When he finished processing the photos he sent us a lovely package with a kind thank you. Joe is a class-act photographer, and he delivered more than we could’ve ever imagined for our most important day.

WHY I LOVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
A PHOTOGRAPHER WITH SEATTLE IN MIND AND A LOVE OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.
I truly believe that wedding photography is important. I’ve seen the joys of families reliving the fleeting moments of an elopement celebration. I’ve felt the hearache of knowing that the last good photo of a loved one taken too soon. I’ve reconnected with my own partner over the story of the day we vowed our lives together.
Whether that day is a sunrise mountaintop elopement in the Cascades, the Olympic Peninsula, your parent’s backayrd or a large ceremony at a venue in Seattle, that guiding light of authenticity will tell your story through photography. I often say that I’m a “people photographer.” While I love the pageantry and beauty of weddings, the story I’m excited to tell is about the humans who inhabit those dresses and suits. I love hearing individual stories and seeking out the depth a sacred day can hold. My job is to capture those memories that people want to remember their whole lives.
CONTACT ME
I want to help however possible to make your day a blast. So, whether you have a complete plan for the wedding or know you’ll need some guidance in dreaming up the celebration, let’s start a conversation.
All-day weddings start at $5000, 3-hour elopements start at $3000.
