We had a WONDERFUL experience with Jennifer from our initial zoom meeting to our engagement photos to our wedding day! Her communication is top-notch and her tips and suggestions for everything from outfit and location choices for our engagement photos to wedding day timeline and suggested shot lists were so so helpful. My partner and I are not natural born models by any stretch of the imagination, but Jennifer made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured the vibe of our wedding perfectly, from the detail shots to the candid guest photos. It was really hard to choose which ones to include in this review because we had so many favorites! We can't recommend JL Thomas Photography enough to capture your wedding day. Also highly recommend adding in some film shots as well! You can tell how much time and energy Jennifer puts into her photography and we will treasure these photos forever.

Allison and her husband was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day.

On the day of our wedding, when the weather unexpectedly changed and threw off our timeline, Allison remained calm and professional, quickly adapting to the new circumstances and finding creative ways to capture beautiful photos around our venue. She was also a rockstar during the family photo portion of the day, efficiently directing everyone to ensure we got all the necessary shots.

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Une photographe de mariage à l'écoute, discrète et qui sait capturer l'émotion et les moments forts. Elle arrive a capter l'ambiance, les regards échangés et l'amour qui se dégage. Je la recommande les yeux fermés !

To know Andrew is such a blessing BUT to be able to have one of the most special days of your life captured by Andrew, while having his grounded energy by your side is any couples dream come true. He is not only a visionary, but also a calm, collected and energizing presence necessary to have behind the lens through all of the wedding day festivities! He traveled to Italy for a few days with me, my spouse, my closest friends, and our family, and he left us with the most priceless photo memories. Not only is he a great dance partner and hypeman, he’s also an amazing photographer and his positivity brings a sense of joy to every photo opp. I don’t have all the right words to describe how much his presence meant on our special day but what I can say is- don’t think twice, you’ve found your photographer.

No matter who you are or where you came from, everyone has a story, and stories were meant to be told. I tell stories through photography. Weddings are incredibly meaningful and intimate. I’m not just someone with a camera who shows up and takes pictures. I believe in truly connecting and engaging with my clients so I can best understand how I can tell their story. With a bright, clean, and vibrant photography style, I help bring my client’s vision to life through beautiful photos that can be cherished forever.

Jonathan is an amazing photographer who clearly shows his dedication and talent, and puts great care into his work! We were very fortunate to have found him shortly after our engagement in October 2023. His photography style and bold colors aligned with what we were looking for. Not only were we drawn to his work, but we loved his fun personality, his professionalism, and his kindness of wanting to know us! Jonathan asked about our story, got to know us as individuals and as a couple, and made sure to tell our story through our photos. He even went overtime to help us with our timeline! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the lens and calmed us when we felt we were not on schedule on the day of the wedding. We love our engagement photos and wedding photos. Highly recommend Jonathan as your photographer! We can’t thank him enough!

I'm a wedding photographer who cares just as much about how it felt as how it looked. I’m drawn to real connection, quiet in-between moments, and all the chaos and joy in between. I bring a calm, grounded energy that helps people relax, whether I’m goofing off with your wedding party or hanging back to document the magic as it unfolds. My style is part documentary, part editorial, and all heart.

Lindsey is such an amazing talent with an equally kind heart. We were lucky enough to work with her for our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. She went above and beyond our expectations in so many ways, and delivered quality work that we will cherish for a lifetime. We felt so comfortable with her behind the lense, which is not an easy task. She scouted beautiful scenery for our sunrise engagement photos, and even reserved a campsite for us to stay the night before. She helped us incorporate our lovely pup into our photos, both on the wedding day and for our engagement shoot, hired a great second shooter for the wedding day, and rolled with all the challenges of a wedding day (on her birthday!) with ease. We are lucky to still be in contact with her and truly enjoy her company. Such a beautiful human, with a stunning, artistic eye.

Hey I'm Chelsea! I'm a wedding photographer based out of Seattle, Washington. I'm a super happy 35-year old who is head over heels in love with her job. Photography lets me combine all of my INFJ superpowers into one package, & it fills me with so much joy to share that with my clients. Beyond photography, I'm a total hippy at heart; I love all things nature, the moon, traveling, wildflowers, old creaky houses, thrift shopping, plants, hiking & horror movies.

Chelsea photographed my elopement and was incredible throughout the whole process! Our original wedding idea was derailed by COVID so she helped us make an elopement plan, looked into locations for us, helped come up with a time table, and basically just made everything extremely easy. On the day of, she fit in so well with our tiny group and made everyone feel completely at ease (which is saying a lot for me, because I'm used to being a photographer as well and am extremely awkward in front of a camera). The images she produced are absolutely beautiful & captured the day, location, and feeling better than I could've possibly imagined. We are thrilled with our choice to have Chelsea document such an important day.

A wedding and engagement photographer but so much more than just that. I’m a friend, daughter, sister, momma to my beautiful baby girl Scarlette Rose, wife to one incredible hunk of a man, fur mom to one ADORABLE little Chihuahua, Pug, Great Pyrenees, and two ducks named Harold and Mushu (I WOULD DIE FOR THEM). I’m a hiker, lover of giddy laughs because your body can’t contain all the joy you’re experiencing, lover of love, meditation lover, crystal lover, people lover, tattoo lover, and most importantly…lover of personal growth and learning from this big classroom we call life! Without all these labels?

If you're wondering if you should hire Ally as your wedding photographer the answer is yes, a hundred times yes! We cannot compliment her, or the pictures she takes and edits, enough. She worked with us to re-plan our entire wedding when COVID hit. We changed the number of people from 150 to 10. We changed locations...multiple times! Ally was supportive the entire time. On the day of our wedding, there were multiple road closures and I called her saying I understood if she couldn't make it, but she assured me she would be there. She's the best friend and photographer you never knew you needed. Ally literally drove down a sketchy dirt road, adding drive time and nuisance to her trip, just to get to us to shoot our special day. When I say we cannot compliment her enough, I mean it. She made our dreams come true, and she made posing for pictures the most comfortable thing in the world. She's easy-going, kind, communicative, funny, and makes you feel so beautiful and natural in front of the camera. She really is the full package. I cannot wait to get her pictures printed to hang in our home forever!

The most consistent feedback I get from my couples is that I put them at ease. Almost everyone is uncomfortable in front of the camera, but that’s why I’m there — to help you look and feel great creating memories. Your wedding photographer is in your personal space on one of the most emotional days of your life - make sure the person in your corner is someone who adds to the joy on your day. With me, you get someone who can go with the flow, has your back, and seamlessly adapts to the energy in the room.

We couldn't be happier with our choice of Jen for our engagement photos and wedding day (and will certainly be coming back for future photography needs). Her creativity and collaborative nature combined with her expertise in capturing the most beautiful moments exceeded our expectations in terms of what we were looking for in a photographer. We cannot thank her enough for creating these timeless keepsakes for us-- we had so many great photos from our engagement shoot it was hard to choose which to use for our website/invites, and we were so happy with our sneak peak photos from our wedding day! If you are a couple that hasn't taken pictures together before, or if you are looking for a photographer who can meet you where you are and help you figure out what works for the style of your event, Jen is the photographer for you.

Hey, I'm a Seattle Wedding and Elopement photographer. I truly believe in capturing candid in-the-heart moments over posed ones, as well as interactions with loved ones and all those beautiful in-between moments as your day unfolds. Because that is what you remember most; the connections, the full-laughter, the tears and heartfelt emotions — the essence of life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would 100% recommend Erin as an engagement/wedding photographer. Her work blew me away when I viewed her portfolio online, but it was our first phone conversation that really sealed the deal! She's down-to-earth and genuine while also being meticulous and thorough in the planning process. She understood the look we were going for with our historic-themed wedding and absolutely nailed it. I can't believe we booked her for the price we did and got such two astounding collections of photos! Can't wait to work with her again!
