About this vendor
Oliver is Seattle's premier documentary wedding photographer. His specialty is capturing candid, unscripted, fully authentic images. 20 years from now, these images will return you to the joyful, tender, uniquely personal moments of your incredible day. While black & white is his personal preference, he can deliver final images in color, black & white, or a mixture of the two.
Oliver won't direct you, pose you, have a "shot list" or tell you to smile. He meets you in the moments and captures the details and emotions of your story as it happens. The result is a uniquely personal, beautifully timeless portfolio of your day.
After spending over two decades traveling the world with his camera, Oliver turned his passion into a profession. He left corporate leadership to follow his heart, making his extensive experience in documentary photography available to clients looking for an artist to capture the beautiful emotions of their wedding, as it unfolds.
His work isn't about checking boxes or staging scenes; it's about watching closely and settling into the background so genuine emotions — laughter, quiet glances, chaotic joy, and tender pauses — can be seen and remembered. Polished, professional, and deeply observant, your day will be documented as it happens so you can simply be present and enjoy every moment.
Oliver is a Seattle, WA-based wedding photographer available for your event, whether it be local or anywhere in the world.
Oliver is a preferred photographer of many top wedding venues in the greater Seattle area, including Lotte Hotel, The Alexis Royal Sonesta, Joyland Farms, The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge, Hotel Bellwether, and Lairmont Manor, among many others.

We highly recommend Oliver to couples looking for non-staged wedding photographer experience. Even though we didn't do the traditional half hour of staged photos after the ceremony, he still captured so many amazing moments with our entire family. He had a quick turnaround time for getting us the photos, and our favorite shots were those he took in black and white.
Thank you so much Oliver!
