About

On WeddingWire since 2014

We believe in honest images of a real story. We’re Peter & Susannah, and Louis, and if you don’t want super-posed, stiff, and impersonal photos, but exciting, vivid photos that capture who you are and what really happened—then we can’t wait to meet with you!

Services Offered

We offer photo and video services as needed.

We specialize in capturing the natural and unscripted moments at weddings. Our main mission is to allow couples to feel at ease - this means that we can document the candid smiles and the in-between moments. We don't like stiff, posed photos. We love it when couples squeeze each others' butts, whisper in each other's ears, and just have fun together. We do everything we can to make sure you have a stress-free and amazing wedding day--whether that’s keeping a cold drink in your hand, finding you food, or telling Uncle Joe you guys need some space.

Amazing Photographer!

My husband and I hired Peter as our wedding photographer, and we cannot begin to express how thoroughly ecstatic we have been with that decision! From the first time we spoke with Peter, we could tell that he was the exact right type of funny, nice, and welcoming personality to bring out the best in us – and make our general state of awkwardness disappear on camera. All of our family and guests loved Peter as well. He blended in so seamlessly with everyone and everything at our giant Indian wedding and was able to capture so many special moments for us!

The first time we met in person with Peter was during our adventure engagement shoot in Mt. Hood. Peter really lived up to the “adventure” part of the shoot, pulling off to the side of the road to have us jump out of his truck and take pictures on the mountain-side. Our hope of a snowy day to take pictures came true, and Peter jumped right in with us to capture the most amazing moments and scenery all around us. We had only done a professional photography session once before and felt very awkward with that vendor, but Peter made us feel so comfortable and that really showed through in his pictures. Within a week after the shoot, Peter had already digitally delivered the pictures for us to enjoy!

Peter helped us prepare leading up to the wedding weekend, ensuring that we had all our group shots ready for friends and family. He also entertained our whimsy of having a photo shoot with the sports car we rented for the weekend! Peter rolled with the punches throughout our crazy Indian wedding weekend, enamored himself with our friends and family, and captured so many amazing moments. We really enjoy Peter’s photo-journalistic style of capturing candid moments rather than staged poses, and we have so many beautiful memories to cherish forever because of the incredible work he did for us throughout our wedding weekend.

Peter and his wife photographed an event here at Lakeside Gardens this Summer, and I hope to see them here again soon! Peter was organized, professional, and very friendly. His turn-around on editing the photos was lightening quick, and they were beautiful! I would feel confident recommending him to our brides!
