Meet the photographer
I’m Scott Bracken and the sole photographer at Peak Aperture Photography. I have a deep love for the outdoors here in the Pacific Northwest. I spend my free time hiking and exploring new trails giving me the chance to soak in the massive landscape. I’m passionate about and actively a part of Search and Rescue as a Ground Searcher and probably enjoy the rugged outdoors more than I should. I have a weak spot for early morning, fresh brewed coffee in the middle of the mountains.
As a dad and outdoor enthusiast, I understand the importance of balancing adventure with family, and I carry that balance into everything I do. My values of integrity, excellence, and building meaningful relationships drive my passion for both life and photography. Whether I’m working with families, couples, or individuals, I’m committed to bringing out the best in every moment.
