Seattle Wedding Photographer

Weddings Where Your Mind is at Ease and Your Experience is Paramount

Lover of cookies, hater of a one-size fits all approach to photography.

You’re in the Right Place if You:

1. Want stunning photos without sacrificing your truest selves in the process

2. Want a wedding without rules, boundaries, or expectations

3. Want a wedding that captures your love for the PNW, adventures, and each other.

Imagine the freedom of having a wedding that authentically captures YOU.

Let Me be the Ghost Writer of Your Wedding Story.

I love the process of photography; but most importantly, I love to tell a couple’s story through photographs. I work with couples who want the timeless and intimate moments of their wedding day captured and told in a way that is true to who they are.

Show up as you are, let me capture and document your day, and let’s celebrate your day in a way that makes you want to re-live your wedding day over and over again.

About Your Seattle Wedding Photographer

Portrait photo of Washington elopement photographer smiling

Hello! My name is Doug, your professional wallflower and new adventure buddy.

As a former special education teacher, I learned a thing or two about building connections, fostering trust, and making new friends with others.

I won’t be a stranger during your wedding experience, I’ll be a friend you can feel relaxed safe to be yourselves around.

Growing up with the Washington State mountains as my playground, I developed a strong attachment to the PNW and a love for the people who choose to lose themselves in it.

Experience First. Photos Second.

Instead of spending all day non-stop posing, creating fake intimate moments to get “that perfect shot”, I prioritize your wedding experience above everything else.

Because what I DO want to capture are these moments:

  • When you say something silly to your partner

  • When you start to ugly cry during your vows

  • When you open up and get to be yourselves as you enjoy the scenery together.

Photos full of raw emotions that you can’t help but feel the moment that was captured.

By putting your experience first and photos second, I will be able to capture those magical, perfectly captured moments.

Kind Words

  • "Doug was a great photographer. Not only is his work amazing but he was a huge help from the moment we decided to hire him and he has great knowledge of the area. We received a sneak peak within the first few days and our full album even before the time frame that was communicated, which we were ecstatic about and they all came out great! We, also, loved how personal he was and would recommend him."

    Laura & Joe

  • "Doug was INCREDIBLE to work with! He found the location for our photos based on what we talked about wanting, and had pre scoped out places in the park to take photos/have a first look and ceremony etc. He led us through the day allowing us to have special alone time, and not worry about a thing. He was quick and clear with communication, flexible and brought firsthand experience as someone who has eloped. We LOVE our photos and would hire Doug again in a heartbeat!"

    Bethany & Alex

  • "My fiancé and I had an amazing time getting our engagement photos taken! It was our first time having pictures professionally taken and Doug did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable. Our photos came out amazing!"

    Hailey & Seth

  • "Doug is the best! Such an easy, breezy vibe that made for a relaxed, stress-free, and fun photoshoot. Not to mention, the photos are beautiful. I highly recommend Sea to Summit Photography"
