  • Kind Words

    “Blake, you’re an amazing human and I think that one thing people should know about you is that you aren't in it to take pictures. You're in it to help people realize how beautiful they truly are.”

    – Riojas

  • “Blake is incredibly personable and quite a joy to work with…every family member we talked to afterwards only had good things to say, that he felt like a friend and not someone we hired…he went above and beyond, in my opinion, and even included things we didn't expect. Truly blown away at his skill and artistry.”

    – Maki-Lopez

  • “Blake did a great job of capturing the love, not only between my bride and I, but also the love that everyone that attended our wedding had for us. The best part of this entire experience was that we didn't spend much time posing for pictures and we were able to enjoy our wedding.”

    – Baldemar

  • “We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the way he captured the day for us…his presence was never imposing and yet he managed to get an extraordinary number of shots. He struck the perfect balance between being funny and personable when he was talking, but mostly he was quietly letting the day roll on as though he wasn't there…the emotion of the day was palpable in the photos… I would recommend Blake to absolutely anyone hoping to remember a day exactly the way it happened.”

    – Erica

  • “I couldn’t recommend him more! He took the time to listen to our needs, prepare for any changes in weather, and was extremely professional during the entire process. He delivered a beautiful album of our special day and we are so happy with the end result. He really has a beautiful aesthetic.”

    – Anastasia

  • “Blake is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend him for any of your photography needs…I'd never done a photo shoot before but Blake made the whole process comfortable and fun. He gives great directions and has creative ideas with angles, lighting, and body position that I would never think of. I especially appreciate Blake's compassion for nature and his mindfulness about the land we all live on and enjoy. You can see this compassion reflected in his talented work. Thank you, Blake!”

    – Tyler

  • “Blake does a fantastic job putting you and your partner at ease in what was for us a first time experience. We weren’t sure how to go about the photoshoot and Blake knew exactly how to coach us at every step of the way while making us laugh :). He didn’t settle for mediocre when it came to positioning and the photos are proof of that!”

    – Ryan

  • “What I love about Blake's photography is that each one draws the viewer into the story as time passes. His photos bring you back for a second, third, fourth look. Each time you see something you didn't notice before. In this way to the story continues to unfold and also in this way, the photo is never stagnant; it moves, and you form the great bond of relationship with the image. Blake is also friendly, thoughtful, funny, and creative and most importantly, he listens to you.”

    – Kerry

  • “Working with Blake was the most easeful, genuine, authentic experience I've had of being photographed and the results are AMAZING. I am blown away by Blake's skill, care, and attention to his craft and work. Highly recommend!”

Style, pricing, and what’s included:

  • Documentary wedding photography is a storytelling approach that seeks natural, candid moments, and encourages mindfulness for your day. This means less time posing with me, and more time enjoying friends, family, and each other.

    Wedding photography is both an art and a historical record. I understand that relationships are specific to each couple and I come into this intergenerational event as a visitor. Therefore, it’s important for me to be your kind observer and to photograph your love honestly, organically, and respectfully.

    You’ve built your relationship and know it best, so I work to capture the light shared between you and your partner by searching for your unique authenticity and beauty.
