I have been a photographer in the Seattle area for many years now. I moved up to the wonderful city of Kirkland from the SF Bay area. 

I have been very lucky that Media such as National Geographic Magazine, CNN, 425 magazine, Seattle magazine, Seattle weekly, Parade and others have used my photos for different stories. I most recently started working with Getty Images and will have a photo in the upcoming National Geographic Book called "The color of life". 

I pride myself on being able to capture your wedding day and the smallest details that come with such a great event. Together we will create a timeline from getting ready to the last dance. I have the responsibility of capturing the memories that will be with you for generations to come. I love taking unique photos that are a little less traditional. I draw on the personality of the bride, groom and family to create a series of photos that will capture the essence of the day.

I would love to grab a cup of coffee and hear about your special day. We can chat about how we can make some great photos that will last a lifetime.

You can email me at ricktakagi@mac.com if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
