As another reviewer stated: Beau knows what he’s doing. He moves easily between technical & conceptual without missing a beat. He’s present and communicative throughout the process. But what sets Beau apart is his ability to remain open. That is, his ability to move with the client, to work within a new framework every time, and to work well. Highly recommended!

Beau’s photography is incredible, and he is amazing to work with! Beau took photos for one of my very important martial arts exams. More than just taking photos to document this important event, he captured the depth of my focus and dedication to Aikido training, which moved me in ways I never expected. Every time I look back on those photos, they remind of me of how hard I trained to get to that point, and they motivate me to keep persevering.
Out of all the photographers I’ve worked with, Beau is the photographer I recommend to my close friends. If you’re in need of an excellent photographer, I highly recommend Beau. You will love working with him and surely treasure the photos he takes for you just as I have.
In addition to photography, I’ve worked with Beau on various video production projects over the past four years, and his skills in filming and post-​production are outstanding. He is extremely organized and manages video projects efficiently and effectively, which makes working with him a pleasure.

Beau did a great job on our wedding photos. Good business person to deal with logistically and on-​site great photographer! We were super pleased and would recommend!

Hiring a photographer is something that I don’t often need to do, because I work in a field that has a lot of artists available that are willing to take the photos for trade or free. However, I knew that I needed Beau for a complicated day of filming for my company.
Beau managed to capture the actresses during their constant movement during the filming of the movie, without ever getting in the director’s way. That is quite a feat! The photos turned out magnificently, and I smile every time I think back on that day. He was incredibly kind to everyone on set, and provided copies of the photos in record time.
A few years later, I kept Beau in mind when I was planning the décor for my office. I chose one of his prints to be blown up and printed for my wall. I am so happy about the print, and he helped deliver it quickly and efficiently.
Thank you, Beau!

Beau is awesome. My review is primarily of Beau as a fantastic example of a human being, & just a bit about his photos, too.
Charlie & I were married in Santa Cruz, CA in summer 2012. We actually hired a friends as our photographers & Beau to work the set up & food. Ours was a small, destination wedding &, being from Portland, OR, we needed local help — someone who could essentially do it all. Beau surpassed our wildest expectations in this department. He was ON IT & worked with very little direction setting up tables, preparing appetizers, cooking almost all of our meat on the grill, refilling drinks, etc. Honestly, he was so freaking awesome! I think this is important because Beau is so easy to work with, very hardworking, & an all around nice guy. Who wouldn’t want to work with someone like him?
On top of all this, toward the end of the day, Beau very spontaneously offered to take portrait photos of us! They turned out unexpectedly awesome & we are so appreciative. Our other photographers also took great photos but definitely of a different sort. I don’t know much about photography but he obviously has a great eye & our favorite part was that he was so easy going. Charlie & I are very laid back & the idea of ‘posed’ photos kind of freaked us out. Now, I’m so glad that he did this for us because they were very professional & beautiful!
I would recommend him, absolutely to anyone who is looking for a photographer.
Thanks so much, Beau!

Beau was awesome! He took wonderful portraits of our Santa Cruz gathering of One Billion Rising on 2÷14÷13, and everyone was really pleased with the results. Beau knows what he’s doing and would recommend Beau for any future photography needs.

My husband and I recently got married back in 2010 on the island of Maui and I had met Beau through a mutual friend. When deciding on a photographer — my husband and I really liked the style of photography that Beau had (portrait and candid together) for the wedding pictures that he did, and thought he would be perfect as our photographer. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the opportunity to use Beau for our wedding day due to him moving away from HI to the mainland. He did however, refer us to two other photographers that he thought would fit our style of photography. We ended up choosing one of his recommendations and love, love, loved the results of our pictures. I don’t think we would have found another photographer without Beau’s knowledge and we are thankful that he was able to help us. So even though we didn’t get to use him for our wedding day — we sure are hoping to hire him for our next photo-​shoot in the near future!
