Kip Beelman | Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

I am a Seattle, WA based photographer celebrating life through moments captured and supported by the love of my wife Sasha and daughter Ella Rose.  Besides shooting beautiful weddings, adorable families, precious little ones, cool high school grads or hip rock bands, favorite things include:  Travel, music, great coffee, uninhibited laughter, vigorous bicycle rides, a top-notch glass of wine, and 18 holes with a good cigar.

My photographic journey began in the fall of 2004 with the arrival of my daughter - The early images of Ella were crude at best and simply unacceptable.  As never one to settle for anything less than excellence with an artistic drive and technical aptitude derived from over 15 years experience lodged in recording studios as engineer and producer for such artists as Brandi Carlile, Death Cab for Cutie, Sleater-Kinney and a zillion more, a new passion was born to become the best photographer I could possibly be.  This is a passion and journey that continues to this day.

I am available worldwide to capture your wedding, portrait, event or unique story - Please feel free to send me an email through the Connect link to tell me more about what you're looking for and how I can help!

Member of:  PPA (Professional Photographers of America, WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International), and the DWF (Digital Wedding Forum).

Shelley and Matt Wedding

It was a crisp fall Sunday in Seattle and today’s wedding had the Pike Market as a lovely backdrop.  Before meeting the groom later in the day, I took a stroll around the Market and was wowed at the abundance of colors, sights and smells.

While Laurence Kim was busy capturing magic with the bride, I was excited to meet Matt at his posh Inn at the Market suite and hang with him and the dudes.  Shelley works at the Inn and it’s where she and Matt met years ago when he too worked there.  The Market is magical and full of romance… It’s where my wife and I got engaged and the Inn was 1st class all the way.

"Are you ready?"  --  "Yeah, are you ready?"
“Are you ready?” — “Yeah, are you ready?”

The ceremony and reception were at the intimate Top of the Market overlooking all of the action.  A touching ceremony was followed by an excellent spread provided by TotM’s Jewel Hospitality, heartfelt toasts by the best man and matron of honor.  The cake got cut and then it was time for some boogie woogie.
