Carl Petersen
Award-Winning LA Filmmaker turned PNW Wedding Photographer
I’ve been capturing memories and creating artwork for couples since 2009. My artistic lifestyle is a balance of timeless class and candid journalism. First of all, I incorporate movement into my images whenever I can. This stems from my background in producing, directing, and acting. Consequently, brides that hire me want iconic images that don’t look or feel posed.
Seems like every couple is unique and quirky in their own way, as is every wedding. In addition, there is no right way to do something. Do what feels right and authentic to you. I’ve photographed hundred thousand dollar weddings and simple backyard BBQ weddings. Chances are I’ve probably been there, done that or I’ve done something very similar. Most of all, I am a wealth of insight and tips, so please don’t be afraid to pick my brain. I am here for you, and I am happy to help.
Especially relevant, I will help you figure out what your big day will look like. I will work with you on your timeline and present options to you, so you can maximize your photography time. I do this for all my clients to ensure we get the images that are most important to you. Furthermore, my goal is to alleviate day-of stress, so you can fully enjoy yourselves. Because I’m going to capture more genuine moments of love and laughter the more relaxed you are. Finally, it’s very important to me that you have a fantastic time on your wedding day!
