"My husband and I had the pleasure of having Calvin as our elopement photographer in June of 2025. I had searched all over for a photographer who didn't simply take posed photos and apply an instagram filter, but rather created art with their images. Calvin was a very obvious choice. He came off as friendly and hardworking immediately, and accommodated all our needs to the very last minute. He planned a very detailed, fun-packed itinerary from before dawn until after dusk in and around Mt. Rainier, and went out of his way to include a location that held sentimental value for me. He was so fun and down-to-earth, and it felt like my husband and I were off on a wild, beautiful adventure and our friend Calvin was just along for the ride. He EXCELS at candid photos, and thus we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves while he documented the full story, including the silly moments along the way, like when I had to tuck my dress into my leggings so that we could hike to the lookout before sunset, or when we chugged energy drinks to stay awake. He captured the moments that mean the most to me in a way that is far more beautiful than anything I could have hoped for. Thank you Calvin!!!"

"It felt like he was a friend we’d known for years. His passion was obvious from the moment he showed up. Checking the light in every corner, gathering our most meaningful mementos to photograph, and asking how we wanted our story told. We decided on a candid approach, and it was hands-down the best decision. The photos are raw, genuine, and emotional. We went about the day simply being ourselves, and now we have these beautiful memories frozen in time to relive again and again.
Calvin also has an amazing eye for locations. He not only captured the most epic landscapes, but also went above and beyond when things didn’t go exactly as planned. Originally, we were set on Latourell Falls for our ceremony, but the area was crowded that day. Calvin gently suggested another spot that would feel more intimate. We trusted him completely, and it turned out to be the best surprise of the entire day. The location was stunning, better than we could have imagined, and made the ceremony even more special.
What stood out most, though, was how stress-free and fun Calvin made everything. His easygoing, down-to-earth nature put us completely at ease. And while he might come across as a little shy and quiet at first, he’s incredibly adventurous and open to any ideas. To this day, whenever we talk about our adventure elopement, we always say how lucky we were to have found him.
I truly believe Calvin is the perfect fit for bold, adventurous couples who want photographs that don’t just document their day, but bring them back to the exact emotions and memories. Captured candidly, authentically, and beautifully through his eyes."

"Calvin was able to incorporate multiple sceneries and moments of our elopement with Mount Rainier. He had a really amazing idea with my veil, that was my grandmother, once we got to the top of Panorama Point. Calvin used the veil to diffuse the photo it was a very special moment for me. The overall experience was unforgettable, and the pictures are stunning and unique. It was amazing to get the stars, sunrise, the mountains and the whole hike with the Tatoosh range and Mount Rainier incorporated throughout our photos. Calvin was able to capture a little bit of everything for us to make our day perfect. He was super helpful and prepared. There were 0 issues, and he had amazing ideas and creativity for our photos. I would 100% recommend Calvin to everyone, especially if you would like photos in amazing sceneries. He was super easy to hike with and wonderful for any couple who wants to travel, hike or anything adventurous. Calvin’s personable energy made the whole experience wholesome and comfortable. I have no negative things to say. It was truly perfect. Thank you, Calvin, for the most special and perfect day!"
