About

Well hello!

I call Seattle, WA home. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest all my life.

I love my wife Sasha and daughter Ella more than anything.

I've produced and engineered records for over 15 years. One was nominated for a Grammy whilst a couple others have had Platinum success. I love making music. Still do. Have to.

The girl and a camera appeared at the end of 2004. A love affair with both began immediately upon arrival. I am self-taught in parenthood and photography.

I answered a Craigslist ad soliciting second shooters for an established local wedding photographer. I wasn't sure I would like it and wanted to dip a toe. Officially all in.

What is it about weddings? People. By the end of the journey I share with a couple, I have two new best friends. On a wedding day I get to spend it with the most beautiful woman in the world. Precious moments. Moments like the touch of a fathers hand on his daughters back as they prepare to walk down the aisle. Raw emotion. The emotion that radiates form a man when he sees his bride on one of the most important days of their lives. The magnitude of four generations of family coming together to celebrate, perhaps for the last time. The love. The love uniquely shared between two people. The love of hundreds celebrating my new best friends. The stories. The stories that led to a couples union. The story your wedding day will become.

I look forward to meeting you.

Amazing photographer. I cannot say enough about Kip. He is professional, courteous, funny, and a true artist. He showed up early, stayed late, and had energy to spare. We got our photos from him within days of our wedding, and they are beautiful. If you believe you will only have one wedding, don't take chances with your memories. Anyone would be fortunate to work with Kip.

Kip quickly became a friend versus our photographer. He was genuinely interested in learning about the subtle nuances of my fiancee and me such that he was able to capture these through the photographs he took. My breath was taken away when I saw the first picture he took and the emotions just continued to pour out as I continued to look over the images. I would strongly recommend Kip to anyone who is looking for photos that continually remind you of the magic of the day!

Kip and I started out almost the same time but he's grown by leaps and bounds by the sheer force of his professionalism, desire to please his customers and his dedication to the craft. A pleasure to work with!

Kip Beelman has that perfect mix of professionalism and personality. Kip and I met almost a year ago at a photographers gathering in Seattle and I have adored following his work and getting to know the man behind the camera. Kip is a master of handling complicated lighting situations (so important in the Pacific Northwest!) and putting everyone at ease. Having shot a wedding with Kip recently I can also say that his ability to handle last moment schedule changes & think on the fly is also extremely impressive. His work speaks for its self, check out his blog, each entry is more breathtaking than the last. I would recommend Kip to anyone looking for a Seattle area photographer, any bride would be lucky to have his beautiful work and big heart on her wedding day.
