CAPTURING the CANDID and AUTHENTIC

Welcome to Bear Beau Photography – I’m Luke, a Seattle wedding photographer with a simple mantra: Guest First. Photographer Second. On your wedding day, I’m part of the celebration, prioritizing your experience and capturing the moments that truly matter. We’ll make time for great portraits, but my main goal is to document your day as it unfolds—no endless posing or pulling you away from the fun. From the laughs and tears to the joy, heart, and love, I’ll capture it all to make your day unforgettable.

Hey Friend!


I'm Luke and I love weddings.


I fell in love with weddings after years of working in marketing and commercial photography, where everything felt so polished, perfect, and, honestly, kind of soulless. I craved something real—moments full of joy, connection, and heart. Starting Bear Beau was my way of diving back into what really matters: people, their stories, and that wild, beautiful thing we call LOVE.


After photographing over 150 weddings, I still feel the same joy and excitement every time—capturing the love, laughter, and magic never gets old.


Let’s create some magic together!

I’m here to bring your vision to life, helping your day unfold just as you’ve imagined it. Let’s create memories that you and your loved ones will treasure for years to come.

“Bear Beau’s work is STUNNING!!!


Luke captured the essence of our joy filled day, and made our family and friends cry tears of joy. Working with Luke was a dream, he brought joy and a sweet disposition that is hard to explain. He easily brightens up any day with his simple & excited presence. He is also flexible and happy to cater to your needs. I am a perfectionist and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else to capture every moment and detail of our special day!!!”

"Hands down, the BEST photographer you could ask for on your big day! Luke captured both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day, and flew all the way to Santa Barbara from Seattle for us! ((:


He is such a warm and calming presence which I really appreciated as a nervous bride, and of course made us look BEAUTIFUL in every single shot. He also captured the candidness of our friends and family gathering for us, and all the emotion of the day, PERFECTLY.


Luke is also super responsive, does great prep communicating with you in advance to understand the kinds of shots you're looking for, and quick to get back photos of your big day - we got to enjoy flipping through our sneak peek literally on the plane ride on the way to our honeymoon, which was such a treat!"


Look no further for the most amazing photographer to capture your special day!

"Luke is absolutely amazing!!


He made my husband and I so comfortable in front of the lens and captured the most amazing photos of us! Luke was super interactive, easy to work with and always had a smile on his face. We changed the timeline days before our wedding. He was so flexible and able to work with what we gave him on such short notice. We feel so lucky to have had him apart of our special day and have the most wonderful photos to relive the night. I would 10000% recommend and encourage you to use Luke for your wedding or any special event! He's the absolute best to work with! You will not find better!"
