Hey everyone, I moved to Seattle in March of 2023 so I am a new kid on the block. I started out as a hobbyist photographer shooting landscapes while I was on my hikes or backpacking trips. That passion for photography slowly transformed into a passion for shooting couples(they pay). mainly friends at first, but over time that has grown into a flourishing little business.
I have shot backyard weddings, adventure engagements, and some beautiful venues over the course of 2023 before I started wolf & sparrow in the spring of 2024. I am looking to up my game going forward and give my clients all of my energy. it is my intention to provide couples with the best quality service and stunning imagery possible..
my goal is to create an emotional reaction by capturing and sharing images that will be passed down by generations to come.
I lived in africa for 3 years working in a remote village before coming to seattle in the early spring of 2023. I was working on an agricultural project in the Kingdom of Lesotho. While on assignment there, I met my beautiful fiancé Tankiso(Pictured below). We are going through the process of getting her Visa approved and let me tell you, it is not easy by any means. there is so much more to tell, i could write a book. my blog has some more stories on my african experience, but enough about me, I want to hear about you!
I am currently booking engagement sessions, traditional or intimate weddings, but the main goal is to become a full-time adventure elopement photographer. if you are interested in eloping in the mountains, please reach out to me for special offers.

Here is some photos from one of many backpacking trips I took while I was living in Lesotho. South Africa, Lesotho, and Botswanna have a great hiking community. In Lesotho there are many hiking clubs you can find and join on Facebook. They travel in big groups, know the lay of the land, speak the local tongue and know how to party. I highly recommend it to any avid adventurer to join one of these trips. They are very affordable and well organized by locals. They go whether or not tourists come. Check my blog posts for more details.
