Engagements
Engagement sessions are where it all begins. They give us time to slow down, laugh, explore, and get comfortable before the wedding day arrives. Whether we are walking the waterfront, hiking a trail, or grabbing coffee at your favorite local spot, this is about capturing you as you are. Natural. Connected. Relaxed. It is less about posing and more about movement, conversation, and real moments. By the time your wedding day comes, you will not feel like you hired a photographer. You will feel like you brought a friend who knows exactly how to capture you at your best.

For Couples Who Want The Day To Feel As Good As It Looks.
Weddings & Elopements
Wedding and elopement days are full of movement, emotion, and moments that cannot be repeated. From quiet exchanges before the ceremony to loud celebration on the dance floor, I am there for all of it. Whether you are gathering with family close to home or standing together on a mountaintop in the Pacific Northwest, my goal is simple. Capture it honestly. Lead when needed. Step back when it matters. So you can stay present and trust that every part of your story is being preserved with intention.

A Day Full Of Energy, Laughter, And Real Moments
Spenser and Jacob
Spencer and Jacob’s wedding felt exactly like them. Rooted in Jacob’s Navy background and surrounded by the people who have stood beside him through it all. Hawaiian BBQ shirts, cardboard cutouts of his head, shots flowing, and a dance floor that never slowed down. It was loud, loyal, and unapologetically fun. A true celebration from start to finish.
An Intimate Fall Wedding On Vashon Island
Jenimarie and James
Jenimarie and James chose a small, intimate fall wedding on Vashon Island, and the atmosphere could not have been more perfect. Rain came and went, leaving behind the scent of fresh air and dark, moody clouds that wrapped everything in depth and color. Their first look was unforgettable, and James’ expressions said it all. Surrounded by vibrant trees and a stunning koa fish detail, the entire day felt calm, romantic, and deeply personal.

A Latter-day Saint Temple Wedding In Bellevue
Morgan and steven
Steven and Morgan were married at the Latter-day Saint Temple in Bellevue on a day that could not have been more perfect. Sunshine filled the gardens and flowers were in full bloom as family gathered for the temple exit, a moment held in deep regard. The way the light wrapped around them made every frame feel bright and timeless. It was joyful, reverent, and beautifully intentional from beginning to end.

My commitment to you is simple. When you choose Nautical Moments, you won’t have to worry about your photography. After more than 15 years behind the camera and years working with couples across Washington, I know how to handle shifting weather, changing light, and real moments as they unfold. That gives you the freedom to stay present and fully enjoy your day.
From Bremerton to Bellevue, Vashon to the Olympic Peninsula, I know this region well. The mountains, the waterfront, the shipyards, the forests. The way the light moves. The way the weather shifts. The way the seasons change.
If you’re planning a wedding here, you’re in the right place.
Getting to know what matters most to you
Before anything else, we take the time to understand you. What you care about, what you are excited about, and what you want this to feel like.
This is where we start building your experience so it is not just another photo session, but something that actually reflects you.
This is where everything shifts. We spend time together, get comfortable, and create images that feel natural and real. By the time your wedding day arrives, you won’t feel like you hired a photographer. You’ll feel like you brought someone you trust.
We build a custom timeline around light, locations, and the energy you want for your day. I guide the structure so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
You stay present. I lead when needed, adapt when things shift, and capture the moments exactly as they unfold.
Sneak peeks within 24 hours. Your full gallery delivered with care. Albums and heirloom artwork designed to last for generations.
Most couples book 8 to 14 months in advance, especially for summer and fall dates in the Pacific Northwest. Military couples planning around deployment or schedule changes often reach out as soon as a date is secured. If you already have a venue and date, it’s best to inquire early to guarantee availability.
Absolutely. I specialize in intimate weddings and outdoor celebrations across Bremerton, Kitsap County, and throughout Washington State. From waterfront ceremonies to mountain backdrops, I help you embrace the environment while keeping everything organized and relaxed.
This is Washington. Rain is part of the story. I plan for it, build flexibility into your timeline, and come prepared with clear umbrellas that photograph beautifully. Some of the most powerful and romantic images happen under moody skies or just after a fresh rainfall. You won’t feel stressed. You’ll feel taken care of.
Benjamin was very patient and kind let us come up with some picture ideas. Husband and I are very happy with our pictures. I will definitely recommend his photos to others. Thank you again Ben 🙂
