About

Since 2005 I took interest in photography. Throughout the years I’ve been asked and gotten the privilege to shoot for friends & family, events, and advertisements. Shortly but surely, photography became my passion. This year in 2012, with the support of God, family, and friends, I decided to take it on full-time.

My wife has always been my number one supporter, recently she has joined me and we have become a team to make this dream come to life. As a couple, we both have strong attention to detail, and with her eyes and a creative twist of my own, we are able to create unlimited possibilites. We are still growing as photographers and welcome challenge. We strive to make our clients vision come to life and are always open to new ideas.

From Weddings, Engagements, Fashion, Senior Portraits, Family, Kids, Corporate Events, Network, Advertisement & More, We'd like to capture the moments for you!

Stunning Photos Captured by a Fun Photographer

My husband and I were so lucky to have had Paul capture our wedding day. We first saw Paul in action shooting our cousin’s wedding, roughly one year before our wedding date. My husband was impressed at how Paul made the wedding party feel comfortable in front of the camera, the direction he gave for formal shots, and how well he blended in with guests to capture candids. After we viewed Paul’s work online and on Instagram, we knew we had to book him quick, his photos are amazing!

From the time we booked him, up until he delivered our wedding photos, Paul was so easy to work with. My husband and I are introverts who are incredibly shy and awkward, but Paul is so friendly and easygoing that he made being photographed a fun experience. In addition to nailing any photo requests you may have, Paul has a knack for finding beauty in the places where you least expect it. If you go with the flow and trust his vision, you’ll be amazed with the results. Our engagement and wedding photos are stunning!!! Thank you so much Paul, hope we can work with you again in the future!

Paul's work is amazing! My fiancé and I decided we wanted to hire Paul as our wedding photographer but found out we were pregnant. Although our wedding timeline may have changed, we knew for sure we wanted Paul to take our Maternity photos. We were ecstatic he agreed to do it! He is an absolutely amazing and very creative photographer who capture my pregnancy beautifully. I fell in love with my first maternity photos so much that I asked him to do a second set! You can't find a more better person to work with. After our wedding, we hope he agrees to do our yearly family pictures also :)

Paul is an amazing photographer- he shot both my engagement and wedding. He is always responsive via text, email, and phone- even during the arrival of his child he'd shoot an email over to see how planning was and if schedules were the same! I would email ideas for photos and on the day of, he executed perfectly in addition to the creative ideas he had of his own. There was never a moment I felt that we were just standing. He fully utilized my allotted wedding photo time and the remainder was shooting candid's / family photos all night. I was reluctant to only have 1 photographer shoot the day of the wedding, but did Paul ever prove me wrong. He would scramble from room to room to get EVERY detail I wanted. He is definitely worth the money, I would trust him with family photos in the future, and recommend him to ANY couple. Happy to vouch for this 5 Star photographer!!!

Paul is amazing!!!

I absolutely LOVE Paul’s work. If I could give him more than 5 stars, then I definitely would! Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he is very personable and easy to work with. I mean, what more could you ask for?!

From the very beginning, Paul told us to “just be ourselves and have fun with it”. And let me tell you, just when my husband and I thought we would be so awkward in front of the camera, Paul had a way of making us feel extremely comfortable. And guess what? Our photos turned out AMAZING!

I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to work with or more perfect engagement and wedding photos. Our wedding day was by far one of the happiest days of my life and he was able to capture all that with so much love, laughter, and tears. I am absolutely obsessed with our photos and have probably looked at them about a thousand times, but I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at them! Paul truly made our big day that much more special and did an amazing job at capturing every moment. We can't thank him enough and would highly recommend him!

If there's one piece of advice that I can give as a former bride, it is to find a photographer that you click with and trust. Not only will you be spending all day of the most special day of your life with this person, but you will also be depending on them to deliver the photos that will serve as the memories of that day for years to come. This person for us was Paul, and I can say that he did not disappoint.

There's a special magic that happens when your photographer can just blend in and become like family. Everyone is more comfortable in front of the camera and the pictures come alive in such an authentic way. Paul became family and put everyone at ease, which speaks a lot to his personality. Coming from someone that always feels awkward in front of the camera, I know how important it is to feel comfortable but also feel like you're being directed well to get good shots. Paul definitely delivered!

Paul was also one of the best vendors we had as far as communication went. His responses were quick and he was always patient and flexible. The fact that he is willing to go above and beyond for his clients is so apparent.

Our wedding was truly the happiest day of my life and the pictures show it. Thank you Paul for capturing our memories!

Paul did such an AMAZING job on our engagement photos. He was referred to by some friends and he did not disappoint. I've seen his work around social media and I had first inquired his services for a friend's proposal. He did an amazing job with their session, I had to schedule a session for my engagement photos right away. He is laid back and easy going, my fiance and I were so comfortable around him. He guided us through each of our photos and always allowed us to voice what we wanted. Paul's photography is versatile and stylish. He can shoot in any setting- we shot in an abandoned industrial area with graffiti and rubble but our photos looked spectacular! I highly recommend him for any photo needs!

Paul was amazing! He was the most professional and yet personable photographer I have worked with. Taking outside pictures in a park in the middle of December with a 6 month old can be a little intimidating but Paul was quick yet efficient. It went like a breeze and the photos turned out incredible. This guy has a natural talent. Thanks Paul! We will definitely be using you again.

Stunning photos thanks to Paul! 🌟🤩

Paul was a pleasure to work with and one of the BEST vendors we worked with for our wedding day in Seattle! He made my husband and I feel so comfortable as well as our family during our big day. The photos we got were absolutely BEAUTIFUL and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We also really loved his artistic style and ability to capture in-the-moment shots. He really overdelivered and we could not be happier. Thank you so much Paul! 🤩🤩🤩

Paul did both our engagement and wedding photos and I could not be happier with the experience and final product! Paul is easy to work with and finds that balance between being flexible while giving us his thoughts on what might work best. Communication is key during wedding planning and I really appreciated how responsive Paul is- staying connected and providing updates along the way. After the wedding, our bridal party and other vendors even commented on how much they liked working with him. Would highly recommend!

Photographs are probably the most important material item of your big day..it's the only thing you go home with and remember all your fun by. Paul was amazing and fun to work with from our engagement pictures to our actual nuptials. He always was looking for new exciting places to take our photos so everything wasn't so cookie cutter. We laughed the entire time, it made every part so much more enjoyable.
Paul even helped with timing and little things no one really even thought about. My pictures came before his given deadline and they we're honestly the best pictures I had seen of myself and my husband. The photos really captured how much fun and love was at my wedding. I could look at them everyday and will cherish them for a lifetime.
Paul- You really outdid yourself we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
