Aaron Nanto | Photo+Cinema bio picture

Hello and welcome - my name is Aaron and this is my photo+cinema blog.  Located in Seattle, Washington I specialize in capturing relaxed portraits, candid moments, special events and everything in-between.

This blog follows both my personal and professional life from behind the camera and features photos & video from clients as well as my friends and family.  For my entire life, I have been interested in the art of capturing moments on film, and I hope to be able to capture yours.

Caden+6 Days

I had the special opportunity to do a photoshoot for a 6 day old baby boy named Caden. The preciousness of such a young baby is rarely captured, and I want to thank Anton & Karen for allowing me to capture this moment for them.

Armand + Rose | Taproot Church Wedding

I recently had the opportunity to document the intimate wedding of Armand & Rose, two wonderful people who can’t be more in love. This wedding has been a long time coming for both of them and I’m glad to see them together at last. Though I rarely do wedding photography, it was wonderful to be part of their special day with family and friends.

A Retro Cinematic “Unboxing”

When a new electronics gadget is released to the masses, buyers frequently post photos and rushed videos of themselves “unboxing” the product for all to see.  Taking the “unboxing” concept to an entirely new level, I present to you a unboxing of a 20 year old gadget – the NEC TurboExpress.

Youth fundraiser

Ah the joys of youth!  This photo session for a formal youth fundraiser event was full of fun with the youth practically tripping over one another and jockeying for more face time with the camera.

A family together

This wonderful family wanted a proper photo shoot together as their 2nd eldest boy goes away to college.  The weather was a slight concern but turned out to be overcast (perfect light for photos!)
