Hi, I’m Luke — an art-forward, documentary Oregon elopement photographer capturing bold, emotive love stories worldwide.

My work with you is about more than skipping tradition — it’s about creating art that reflects who you are. As an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-owned business, this is a space where all love is honored and all humans are welcome.
