Hello
Hello and welcome! I'm Theodore Nelson, a passionate photographer specializing in capturing the moments and life events that matter most.
Photography is my passion, and I consider it both an art form and a way of life. For me, it's not just about taking pictures; it's about freezing emotions, telling stories, and preserving memories that will last a lifetime.
With a background in forensic photography, years of teaching photography, and a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), I've honed my skills in portraiture, event, and group photography. Whether I'm documenting a couple's love story, capturing the energy of an event, or exploring the beauty of nature through my lens, I approach each project with creativity, dedication, and attention to detail.
My goal as a photographer is simple: to create images that evoke emotions, inspire connections, and stand the test of time. I strive to capture the authenticity and essence of every moment, allowing my clients to relive their most cherished memories again and again.
In 2025, Rachel Cunningham and I joined forces to create a unique, team-based approach to wedding, event, and portrait photography. Together, we bring two experienced photographers to every occasion, ensuring that we capture each moment from multiple perspectives. This collaboration allows us to be in two places at once, providing both the intimate close-ups and the broader, more dynamic shots for the Bride and the Groom.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my portfolio. I invite you to explore my work and get in touch to discuss how we can collaborate to create something truly special together.
Let's capture moments that matter to you, one click at a time.
Hello, I'm Rachel Cunningham!
Originally from Southern California, I commenced my photography career as a second shooter for weddings, and I bring with me 7 years of professional experience. Since then, I've had the privilege of capturing a wide range of moments—from elopements and engagements to family photos, pet portraits, and street photography. My portfolio also includes livestock and agricultural photography, reflecting my diverse interests and skills.
Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to have some incredible opportunities, such as photographing orcas in Monterey Bay for National Geographic's Explorers Program in December 2022 to contribute to marine wildlife research, and collaborating with Mattel to photograph their Jurassic World Amber Collection and Hammond Collection lines. These experiences have enriched my journey and sharpened my ability to tell compelling stories through my lens.
Currently, I'm pursuing a bachelor's degree in digital photography at SNHU while continuing to capture the beauty and essence of my subjects, especially animals. My goal is to create timeless images that resonate with each client's unique story and personality. I look forward to working with you and making your moments unforgettable.
