If we work together, you’ll quickly see I’m a mix of your quirky, mystery-loving and Mean Girls-loving friend and your go-to guide for crafting an unforgettable experience.

I’ve been captivated by storytelling for as long as I can remember — from burning through a hundred disposable film cameras as a kid to making green-screen movies and eventually picking up a DSLR in high school, where I fell head over heels for photography.

That creative spark has fueled my passion for capturing bold, cinematic elopements and weddings since 2018, and I’ve loved every moment of the journey.

My approach is all about balance — blending raw, unscripted moments with just enough creative direction to craft striking, editorial-worthy images that feel like stills from a movie.

I’m drawn to the laughter, quiet touches, and adventurous spirit that make your connection uniquely yours. Whether it’s running barefoot in the sand, sharing a lantern-lit embrace, or sneaking a steamy moment in a hot spring, I’ll guide you when needed and step back to let the magic unfold naturally.

Your chemistry and connection are my muse. Think relaxed, intimate storytelling with a cinematic backdrop, where your love takes center stage.

I’m laid-back but intentional, blending spontaneity with thoughtful planning to ensure your experience feels natural, meaningful, and even a little magical.

Let’s make something bold, passionate, and unforgettable.

Hey, friends. I'm Luke!

Why I Do This

Growing up as a queer kid, I’ve known what it’s like to feel othered. That’s why creating a space where people can be fully themselves—quirks, passion, and all—is at the heart of what I do. Your love deserves to be seen, celebrated, and captured in a way that feels real, joyful, and unapologetically you.

I want your elopement or wedding to be one of the most meaningful adventures of your life, filled with new core memories that bring you joy for years to come. Together, we’ll create artistic masterpieces that reflect your individuality and connection. I see your light, your story, and your love—and I can’t wait to help you shine.

Let’s make some magic together.

Where You'll Find Me

I’ve known what it’s like to feel othered — to feel like there wasn’t a space where I could fully be myself. That’s why creating a safe, welcoming space for couples to be unapologetically themselves — quirks, passions, and all — is at the heart of what I do.

Weddings and elopements are so much more than a celebration; they’re an opportunity to create something deeply meaningful and uniquely yours. I thrive on documenting the raw, honest connection that makes your love one-of-a-kind, whether it’s exchanging vows by a waterfall, sneaking a quiet moment under a desert sky, or popping champagne on a windswept cliffside.

I want your elopement or wedding to be one of the most meaningful adventures of your life — filled with new core memories that bring you joy for years to come. Together, we’ll create artistic masterpieces that reflect your story, your connection, and your individuality.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably geeking out about unsolved mysteries (ask me about my alien tattoo named Kevin), listening to a broadway musical soundtrack, or creating my dream theme parks in Planet Coaster. I’m a mix of adventurous and homebody, and while I love traveling for work, you can usually find me hanging out with my yorkies or daydreaming about my next big creative project.

Here’s the deal — I’ll show up as my quirky, real self, and I hope you’ll do the same. If you’re looking for someone super polished or overly formal, I’m probably not the photographer for you. I put my energy into making you feel comfortable, creating beautiful images, and telling your story, not into masking who I am. That’s the vibe I bring, and it’s exactly what helps me capture you at your most authentic.
