Untamed moments captured in unforgettable imagery

As your alaska photographer

I'm not here to direct you. I'm here to be present with you. There's a difference, and your day will feel it.

If you want a photographer who knows when to be close and when to be invisible, that's how I work.

If you want to be guided gently and not overly posed, that's my style.

If you want the wild places, the real moments, the light nobody else sees...I'm a lifelong Alaskan who knows the land.

If you want someone you can trust in Alaska backcountry safety, in unpredictable weather, and life untamed, I'm your trained guide.

what sets me apart?

Built for the Last Frontier

Lifelong Alaskan

I grew up here. I know which weather means go, when storms hit, and how best to get to the hidden gems. I'm not hoping for light; I'm local with deep wilderness expertise. You get 30 years of Alaskan mountain knowledge.

Film & Digital

Since 2019, I've documented 150+ love stories from remote mountains to majestic glaciers in the Alaska Wilderness. I blend film and digital, so every moment is artfully documented, and every frame intentional.

III

Backcountry Ready

I was the person dispatch called for backcountry emergencies. That means I can take you further into the wild safely. Moose? Bear? Weather shifts? I know what to do.
I'm professionally trained to be prepared, so you can be peacefully and confidently present.

Meet Connor David

I'm a lifelong Alaskan based out of Palmer who found my way into photography through a very scenic and occasionally wild route. Throughout my adventures, a camera from my sophomore year never stopped feeling like the point of it all.

I am a trained EMT/firefighter who ventured his way back into photography, As an Alaska wedding and elopement photographer, I believe having a rescue background is paramount to confidently guide adventurous couples who are seeking to embrace the untamed wilderness for unforgettable moments that are artistically documented.
