About Your Photographer

Born, raised, and still living in Seattle, Washington, Kerry Dahlen got his first 110 instamatic at the age of 6, and has been taking pictures ever since. He has a degree in editorial journalism from the University of Washington, but spent a lot more time running around with a camera than in class, eventually winning a bit of hardware from the College Photographer of the Year folks for a Spot News image he made on the way back from the paper late one night in the early 90's.

Since then, his images have appeared in several publications, including the Seattle Times, the Puget Sound Business Journnal, Grinnell Alumni Magazine, The University of Washington Law Alumni Magazine, the University of Washington Business School Alumni Magazine, Digital IQ Northwest, the Linux Journal, and more. Over the past 20 years, he's taken portraits of executives and employees of and for Cranium!, American Seafood Group, REI, EDS, Intel, Windemere Real Estate, Microsoft, Amazon, and Terrabeam, bands, musicians, jugglers, cats, dogs, kids, pregnancy, couples and several dozen weddings all over the country.

The weddings featured on this website are from the past few years, were shot digitally, and span from North Carolina to Phoenix to Mercer Island, WA, and in them, you'll see that Kerry's shooting style is journalistic, which is to say he 'covers' your event, seeking to capture the whole story as it occurs over time in pictures, from putting the make up on and setting the stage to final curtain and the drive away.

Please e-mail or a call, he'll be more than happy to record your event.
