My husband and I hired Luke for our intimate wedding in Joshua Tree National Park from sunrise to sunset and it instantly felt like we’d known each other for years. He made us comfortable and it felt like we had an old friend shooting our wedding. The photos are stunning and perfectly captured our personalities and our wedding day. He also had knowledge of the park and area so that we could trust him to location scout and not have to worry about it. In addition he is so creative and captured some amazing pool and lantern photos, coming up with ideas on the spot in different locations that ended up turning out great. I want to relive the day and I’d hire him again in a heartbeat.

Everything went so perfectly. Luke made it so easy and effortless and fun. You can just tell he loves his job and that makes it so easy to work with him. He hyped us up which helped make some amazing artwork and because of that we have so many STUNNING memories captured. Our house is going to become a shrine of all our adventures because we can’t pick our favorites 😂 We are so blessed to have worked with THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER and hope that our paths will cross again in the future 🖤

The thing I loved most and that everyone can just see is that he really was able to capture the love between my husband and I, in such a lovely way, I just really feel like it captured OUR love and that it wasn't staged, forced or posed. It was just us, dorkiness and all, and he captured that pure happiness and uniqueness. His eye is amazing and he just really made the day magical and fun.

I’m Luke (he/him), a destination elopement photographer specializing in the Pacific Northwest, dedicated to capturing raw, cinematic art for unconventional lovers who crave something beyond cookie-cutter coverage.
I’ve been obsessed with visual storytelling since I was a tyke — theater, drawing, photographing, always chasing that one feeling you can’t put into words.
People say it’s easy to be yourself around me, and that’s kind of the whole point. I create space for you to show up fully, whether you're laughing your face off in the desert or getting misty-eyed in the mountains.
If you want to be seen, celebrated, and gently guided into an unforgettable, intentional experience that feels more like a memory than a production, I’m your guy. :)
I focus on truth over trends, guiding when it helps, stepping back when it matters. Every image is rooted in honesty and shaped with care — cinematic, natural, and deeply personal.
You don’t have to hike hours up a mountain at sunrise. From timelines to permits and inspiring but accessible locations, I’ll walk you through just what you need, and none of what you don’t.
As a neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ creative, I get how important it is to feel seen. Whether you're quirky, playful, passionate, offbeat or sentimental — no matter who you are or who you love – you're welcome here.
Not just a day, but a deeply felt experience. The kind of celebration that feels like you: honest, electric, a little wild, and full of heart.
A love story unfolding in real time echoed in light and shadow, crafted with care, and made to be remembered.
This is the art I want to make with you. Are you in?
