Hi, I'm Miguel
I’m Miguel, a wedding and portrait photographer based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. For over 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing genuine moments filled with love, laughter, and connection. Whether it’s a wedding day, a family session, or seasonal mini sessions, my goal is always the same — to create images that feel natural, joyful, and true to you.
I spend the winter months photographing in Palm Springs and the summer months in Seattle, giving me the opportunity to capture love stories in two of the most beautiful places in the country.

My fiancé and I had so much fun shooting with Miguel. Just book him; you’ll be glad you did!!”
