Eight years back, I decided to move to Portland, Oregon.

Capturing these stories for others gives me an incredible feeling of satisfaction, one that I've never found anywhere else.

I wanted to be closer to the nature of the Pacific Northwest, to be near the ocean, and to surround myself with interesting and artistic people. Through my travels, I never find a place that feels more like home.

I'm often asked why I shoot weddings and the answer is simple. There is no better workplace. Where else are you surrounded by love, beauty, happiness and joy every time you go to work?

Testimonials

Yosemite Elopement

“Dylan is amazing! Was very knowledgeable about the best places and timing for shots at Yosemite. Went way above and beyond for us. Super friendly, it was like spending the day with an old friend. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”

Waterfall Elopement

“Dylan was the most phenomenal photographer for my elopement at Wahclella Falls! We met with him before our elopement and he patiently answered all of my questions. I had seen his work on other elopements and fell in love with the beauty, the light, and emotion in each photo. The day of our wedding, Dylan came prepared with umbrellas and a spirit of adventure. He captured amazing moments between my now-husband and me. I would recommend Dylan to anyone and I can’t wait to find another excuse to use his awesome photography talent again.”
