Editorial & Documentary photographer in Seattle, Washington
Hey, I'm
Luke!
Wedding, Elopement, And Engagement Photography In Washington & Worldwide.
My photography journey started in the fast-paced world of a creative agency in Sacramento, where I spent years diving into marketing and polished branding. But after a while, I knew I needed a change. I wanted to get back to what really mattered—capturing real moments and telling authentic stories.
That’s why I started Bear Beau—to embrace my creative freedom and focus on the real human connections that make life so special. Now, I get to do what I love most: capturing the raw, beautiful moments of love on people’s most important day. It’s that simple, universal thing called love that drives everything I do.
If you're looking for a photographer who values people over pageantry and community & connection over pomp & circumstance, I’d love to chat with you.
My approach is all about helping you enjoy your wedding day and capturing the real moments that matter most.
The Fam Bam
My wife, Mo, and I live near Seattle with our two amazing kids. We feel lucky to be able to spend so much time together—especially with Mo being a total badass mama and Nurse Practitioner. Shooting weddings in Seattle has given me the amazing opportunity to be a full-time dad and be present for the moments that really count. We’re often on the go, but always making time for family adventures and capturing the magic of life along the way.
I love working with couples and families who prioritize the experience of their guests and honor the occasion with their full presence. While beautiful light helps, I pride myself on creating stunning photos no matter the lighting. My favorite part of every wedding? The dance floor, where the celebration is contagious, inhibitions fade, and everyone is having the time of their lives.
