Hello there! ! I’m Jen Lee, a wedding photographer in Seattle for over 8 years, I consider it an honor and privilege to be entrusted with documenting the most significant chapters in a couple's life. In my early years as a Creative Portrait Director shooting professional models and full editorials, I immersed myself in the world of visual storytelling. Creating these captivating narratives allowed me to move into the real world of weddings. With an innate sense of empathy and a meticulous attention to detail, I strive to create an atmosphere of ease and comfort with my professional knowledge in lighting, posing, and story telling.

From the moment we booked JL Thomas Photography, Jennifer was a dream to work with. Her communication was crystal clear, informative, fun, and friendly throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Jennifer not only prioritized our list of photos, but helped enforce our timeline and herd our guests when they didn't want to be where we needed them. She was a true stress reducer on my wedding day. The quality of her work is exceptional, exceeding our expectations in every way. In all honesty, I always get nervous when other people take pictures of me, thanks to different camera angles and a fluctuating body weight. I was terrified that I would see myself in photos of the most beautiful day of my life, and see myself as less than… but let me tell you, I have never felt more confident in sharing pictures than the ones we received. Jennifer’s tips on posing, feedback in the moment, and constant reassurance built my confidence, and it showed. The sneak peeks we received were absolutely beautiful, and we can’t wait to see the rest. The value of Jennifer's services is incredible - honestly, I think she should charge more, even though I’m glad her packages were within our budget. She felt like a true friend to us, and I cannot recommend her enough. I brag about how amazing she is every time I talk about our wedding - which is a lot. We are so glad we chose her, not only to capture our special day, but to be part of it as well.

Your wedding is about you and all the amazing people there to celebrate. While I can take some Instagram-worthy portraits, I spend the majority of my time at weddings capturing all the little moments going on throughout the busy day. I want to capture the wedding in a way so when you get the images, you relive the story and feel how it felt.

Erin photographed both our engagement shoot and wedding, and we could not have been happier working with her! She is such a great person to work with and delivered such gorgeous, fun, and quality photos. She captured our key moments and was able to also showcase the fun and love felt throughout the day. We are so grateful to have been able to work with her and trust her throughout this process!

Bright and colorful wedding photographer based in Chicago and Seattle but available to capture the nostalgia of your wedding day no matter where you live. I'm passionate about your story, personality, and vision.

I can not say enough great things about Laura! She was extremely professional, organized, and made the entire wedding process so easy and enjoyable. I love her light, airy style, and how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. We had never taken professional photos before and were nervous for our engagement shoot, but Laura made it such a fun and relaxing experience. She helped me organize my entire wedding timeline and was in close contact with my wedding planner the month leading up to my wedding. Laura is so talented and captured our wedding day in such a beautiful way. Our pictures are something that I will cherish forever!

Welcome. I’m thrilled you’re here. My approach is to make things easy, enjoyable, and fun throughout the whole process. From the moment your inquiry lands in my inbox to viewing your full album, I am here to capture your story make your vision a reality. I strive to capture your raw connection while documenting such an important day. On a more personal note- I love the outdoors for more than just photo-ops. I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and especially being on the water. I am a big people-person which is also why I am also a Physical Therapist! This allows me to work with people daily and help make a difference in their lives.

Amanda was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for! She is friendly and sweet, and she made us feel completely comfortable during our engagement and wedding shoots. She was professional and easy to communicate with, and she was up for clambering down a riverbank, tromping around in the rain, and driving up to a remote wedding location to capture our adventure wedding. Our wedding photos were beautifully edited. We highly recommend Amanda!

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

She is precious and perfect and excellent at what she does. My wife and I happened upon Marla’s work when she first moved to Seattle in our hunt for queer friendly photographers. From the first moment we spoke we knew we’d be in good hands. Working with Marla felt like hanging out with a friend. We love her and you will love her too. We didn’t absorb that she specialized in elopement photography when we found her, but clearly she’s versatile because our photos are gorgeous! As people who aren’t used to being photographed professionally, Marla gave great direction when we needed it and caught a million beautiful candid moments. She forgot her coat in her fiancés car and did not complain or act chilly even though her nose and cheeks were turning red (don’t worry, we shared our jackets with her haha). Our guests also raved about her!!! She’s lovely and talented; she will make you feel comfortable and encouraged and beautiful.

My filmmaking journey has taken me all over the world, from Japan to Iceland, creating a wide variety of promo videos, real estate walkthroughs, graduation stories, and short documentaries. However, my true passion has always resided in capturing love stories. For the last seven years I’ve focused all my passion on capturing the unique and intimate moments on wedding days.

Larissa is the sweetest and super easy to work with!! She is very professional, timely, and overall very organized. She has great communication and pays close attention to details(which is very much appreciated). The video she put together for us was 11/10 and wowed me more than I could have hoped. Her work is absolutely stunning. Anyone would be very lucky to work with her 3

I'm not a Seattle native, but I love this city. This is the city where I fell in love and got married. This is the city where both of my daughters were born. Whether you are a native or transplant, I want to tell your love story. Whether it is a specific location you love, a moment you want to recreate, or new memories you're making, your story and everyone in it is something that deserves to be captured. My business is about capturing all of the moments of life, large and small, and helping you tell that story.

Coty took our photos on our little civil ceremony and we couldn't be happier!! She's very friendly, responsive, professional, flexible and most importantly her photos are really beautiful. Our immediate families weren't able to join us in person (thanks, COVID) so it means a lot to have the day documented in beautiful photos. I 1000% recommend her for your important events.

Hey Franz, Sarah here! I'm a wine-drinking-Taylor-Swift-singing-Golden-Hour-loving-cat-lady and I cannot wait to meet you! I've had a camera in my hand for well over a decade and honestly, this job just keeps getting better! I love living in Seattle because (call me crazy) I actually enjoy a good rainy day, snuggled up for a Netflix and Chill sesh. I also love the deep diversity and support for the love of all kinds that we have here and that I am honored to capture with my camera. I cannot wait to witness your love story and gift you back your memories in the form of photographs.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a million wonderful things I can say about Sarah! From the moment we met I knew she’d be a calming presence to have around for our wedding. A few months after getting her booked for our wedding date, we did an engagement shoot in downtown Seattle. We wanted to use a parking garage that we love, (sounds odd I know. But such a great view!) and Sarah made it look beautiful. But most importantly she made CJ comfortable being photographed without being goofy. Those photos turned out perfect. Fast forward to a few months ago.... as a 2020 Bride.... with everything that has been happening this year, Sarah was very straightforward about what was required for her to be able to shoot our special day. I respect her so so much for following the law’s and guidelines around photography and only operating when allowed! We lucked out and the phases lined up so Sarah could capture our day. Everything had been uprooted, changed, and forced to adapt several times over. When all of that is happening... the best thing a bride can ask for is an above & beyond vendor! She was punctual, for arrival and thought-out the day. She helped in so many ways that aren’t in her job description & I couldn’t be more grateful for that. When everything had to be canceled and re-planned, you’d be amazed @ what falls through the cracks. But she helped us wade through all of it! The photo preview we received the day after the wedding made my heart sing. She captured so many moments perfectly, I honestly don’t know how she scoots around for different angles so quickly. If you are lucky enough that Sarah is available for your preferred date.. snag her! She was a joy to be around and her presence will be a welcomed light & stress reliever on your special day!

I like to live by the motto: “Well behaved women seldom make history.” My grandmother used to tell me this regularly. I am passionate about photography as it's a way to capture memories of special moments and events of our lives. I have maybe 5 images of my grandmother because she was always the one trying to take the pictures. I wish I had a few more. Photography is an art that I love to offer. I love that I can use photography as a gift to couples and I want them to be able to look back on their wedding as the best day ever.

If you are looking for someone who is truly passionate about what they do, Then you will want to hire Adina! From the moment she was recommended to me, I fell in love with her work and I knew that I wanted her to capture our wedding. She was supportive throughout the entire process, talking with me when I had questions and gave me advice about anything and everything I was unsure about. On the day of the wedding, Adina and her second shooter, Alana were wonderful! They were very attentive to our vision and had great ideas to help us capture the moments we wanted. We love our wedding photos and the magical way in which Adina captured our big day! I could not recommend Adina enough!

I’m a Seattle wedding photographer and a dog lover. my passport is current, and I will travel anywhere your wedding adventure takes you - even elopements! My photography is inspired by traveling the world and telling stories through my images. I would be honored to be your wedding photographer. let's meet over coffee or a glass of wine- I would love to learn about your vision for the big day.

Working with Tony was a delight and I would recommend him 10/10. We were connected to Tony through a friend and I'm so happy we were able to meet and work with him for our engagement, rehearsal, and wedding photos. Not only are our photos incredible, but Tony was great at giving us direction, calming us down, making us laugh, and slowing us down to enjoy the day and the process. We were able to get all of the family and "must have" photos, but the large scale nature shots are our favorite and beautifully highlight the scenery. Tony was seemingly everywhere during the weekend and it's impressive how many shots and angles he was able to capture. Tony is responsive, communicative, and a joy to work with. I'm sad it's over, but I am so happy we were connected to Tony for our wedding adventure.

My name is Claudia, I am a wedding photographer based in Seattle, Washington and I love Jesus, traveling, hiking, and anything chocolate! In 2018 I graduated from Whitworth University in Spokane, WA with a degree in Graphic Design. I recently moved back here to the Seattle area and I am so happy I did. All of my passion and drive ultimately comes from the Lord. He has given me this gift of photography and design; it is my job to share it with all of you! All credit goes to HIM. I am extremely passionate about capturing your special moments! I want to hear YOUR story, to help make you more comfortable in front of the camera.

My now husband and I booked Claudia for our Fall 2019 wedding and we are so lucky to have picked her for our photographer. Where do I even begin? Claudia was so kind, professional, and prompt to answer any questions thru the entire year long process from when we booked with her in 2018. I was the organized bride who had EVERYTHING planned out along with a bunch of outdoor photo locations chosen until it decided to pour rain/snow the day of our wedding on what should have been a beautiful Fall day. Claudia was quick to calm me down and suggest photo locations inside our venue. She encouraged me to go outside for some photos when the rain let up a bit and I AM SO GLAD WE DID! Those photos turned out to be my favorite photos that Claudia has sent us, ironically enough since I was reluctant to get my dress wet prior to the ceremony. Claudia might be small, but she has a mighty voice and was able to quickly organize the groomsmen and families into photos for our new short timeline due to weather. I can't thank Claudia enough for the NEXT DAY sneak peeks (who even does that?! Claudia does!) and for all of her help capturing our wedding day. I would highly recommend Claudia to anyone I know.

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

If you want someone who will get excited about your creative vision and go out of their way to help make it happen, Skylar is your photographer! I had an idea to take some unique photos in a specific location, and she without question let me know she had experience in what I was looking for. On the day of our photoshoot, she went above and beyond to get the right shot and made us feel really comfortable getting our photos taken in public (which isn't easy to do!). Skylar really made our engagement photoshoot so memorable and special, I am so grateful to her for the care she put into our session. The photos turned out great too!

She has offered a ton of advice along the way as we’ve planned and tweaked our timeline. And her photography speaks for itself. She made my fiance and I feel comfortable in front of the camera during our shoot and she truly captured our best, most candid selves.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love.

I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

I'm LaDonna, a dedicated photographer who delights in celebrating couples from all walks of life. Hailing from New England, I take pleasure in highlighting the unique charm of each location I'm privileged to photograph and happily make myself available to travel wherever love takes you. My mission is simple yet profound: to create timeless artwork that reflects the love and individuality of every couple I meet. My commitment to excellence ensures you receive exceptional photos, videos & a truly memorable experience. When I'm not capturing beautiful moments, you'll find me savoring fine wine and crafting to my heart's contentment.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24
