About
Lee, his wife Jamie and their two pups exploring the remote coastline of the Lost Coast in Northern California.
Lee is a published wildlife and fine art wedding photographer living between Bend, Oregon and the San Juan Islands, Washington. His award-winning art is displayed throughout the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and can be seen in stores, is used on local websites, as well as showcased in hotels, restaurants and private homes. In addition to being a wildlife photographer and guide, Lee spends time working as a full-time wedding photographer capturing beautiful images for the adventurist couple.
Lee has been a passionate photographer for over a decade and began his professional career documenting weddings and making portraits in Southern California with his first company, Your Moment In Lights. Every chance he had, Lee would explore remote locations around the US, many which required multiple days of hiking, camping, and navigating in the backcountry, to create images of places seldom seen by other humans. He brings these hidden treasures to life through his photography. Lee absolutely loves to share his passion with the world and hopes to inspire others to cherish and explore our natural world, making him a thoughtful and meticulous teacher of the art of photography to others who wish to learn.
Knowing he desired to be closer to nature and wildlife, Lee and his wife Jamie moved to Bend, Oregon in early 2021. Lee continues his work as a wildlife photographer and naturalist with Maya’s Legacy, the premier ecotour company in the Pacific Northwest with a special focus on the highly desirable niche of Killer Whales. His partnership with Maya’s has allowed him to spend each spring and summer capturing the PNW’s incredible marine biodiversity and documenting weddings in one of the most beautiful and unique venues in the entire world.
In his hometown of Bend, Lee focuses on creating gorgeous, unique, and individualized images for weddings as a full-time wedding photographer. The beauty of the high desert makes for an exquisite backdrop for engagement, wedding, and newlywed photos, which only those photographers with exceptional ability can capture, while showcasing the beauty of the happy couple. Lee’s years as an avid outdoorsman and his talent as a photographer, make him one of the most coveted photographers to capture the most remarkable moments and creating images that will last a lifetime.
Lee’s passion is fine art photophrapy and he spends the majority of his free time exploring the PNW’s vast wilderness areas in search of hidden gems and new photo opportunities with his best friend and wife, Jamie. They both love snow sports and spend as much time as possible on the mountain and exploring the backcountry for the perfect snow. Lee and Jamie also spend their time together camping and hiking with their two Shiba Inu pups.
