Photographs are love letters to the heart. I’m here to capture the most important moments of your life from the first anniversary, to the engagement, to the first day of your lives as a married couple.

Allison and her husband was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Allison was organized, energetic, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the photography planning process. 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. Allison's hardworking, organized approach and the high-quality, professional results she delivered made her an incredible value. We are thrilled with the photos from our special day and would highly recommend Allison Lauryn Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Erin Witt Photography

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the most magical, perfect wedding and one of the most wonderful things about it is I have incredible photos to remember it. I cannot emphasize this enough, if you need a wedding photographer, pick Erin. There are a lot of things I could say about Erin, but I’m going to break it down into two categories: experience and quality. Erin is warm, funny, and a wonderful listener. My husband and I both don’t love photos and from our engagement shoot onward Erin made us feel comfortable, engaged, and like ourselves. She takes extra time and effort to get to know you as a couple and what will and won’t work for you. All of my wedding party and many of my guests have reached out to me to remark on how wonderful, kind, and comfortable Erin made them feel during our wedding. Basically Erin is just amazing as a human and that translates into her being able to create an experience for you that allows you to focus on your event and the love you share with your partner and you never have to worry because you trust Erin will make things work because she understands you. Second, I AM SO BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY OF ERIN’S WORK! Like I knew from her website she’d be great, but looking over the photos we got after the wedding made me realize just how talented Erin is. She captured every moment and emotion so beautifully. I can see the love and joy in every photo. Seriously, I teared up when I looked at some of them because they so reflected how I felt in that moment. These are photos I’m going to look at for years to come and never wonder what was happening or how I felt because they were so well captured. Erin is a magician with her camera and you will not be disappointed for one second by how incredible your photos turn out. Erin is an incredible human and phenomenal photographer. I cannot sing her praises high enough. Hire her. You will not be disappointed and you’ll have your most precious memories captured to perfection.

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 amazing. From the beginning she was incredibly communicative and easy to work with. She had lots of great ideas that produced shots my wife and I cherish. To add to that, on our wedding day we dealt with high winds and torrential freezing rain on the Washington coast. Through all of it, Amanda focused on getting the best shots of my wife and I, the ceremony, and our families in the most adverse conditions. She did great! Editing and delivery was quick and easy as well. I can't recommend Amanda Ford enough.

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.

Kayla is an absolute delight to work with on every level. On a personal level, she is hilarious and down to earth, and has a natural way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. From start to finish we had the best time - and then I got her photos back. Somehow she managed to make me look like the most fantastic version of myself when I wasn't even trying?? She has a gorgeous eye for color, her edits are stunning, and it genuinely feels like I've worked with an artist. You cannot go wrong with this lady!

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

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.

I hired Larissa to shoot a video for me and she surpassed every expectation. As a professional myself, when I hire someone to shoot for my business, it means that I'm giving them the utmost trust because they are representing the business that takes care of my family. I gave that trust to Larissa and she blew me away with her professionalism, kindness, eye for detail, technical knowledge, and fun to be around personality. As a professional wedding photographer and videographer myself, I would hire her in a heart beat to shoot my own wedding and that is saying something. She is worth every penny and then some and I look forward to working with her again.

Hey, I'm Jason — a Seattle-based wedding photographer (+video and photo booth!) If you're looking for a photographer who'll make you laugh (✨and be your personal hype man✨), you're in the right place. I'm not ~that~ photographer who's lying in the center of your aisle and being the center of attention. I'm there to create beautiful images, while also making you feel like a superstar. My style is timeless, candid, and true-to-color. (I'm all about the candids.) I'll give you direction, but your photos won't feel too posed or unnatural. P.S. I have a photo booth, and offer video, too!

We loved working with Jason! He is an amazing photographer, and he helped us feel relaxed all throughout the day. He went above and beyond to capture all the shots we wanted; he even blended in on the dance floor to get the party pictures. Our guests all commented how great he was too!

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.

I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Alexander and I fell in love exploring the World together, from mini baecations, to immersing ourselves in new countries. Our love, has been our greatest adventure. Like most couples, our happily ever started with an elaborate vision of a dream wedding but months after planning we were left feeling incomplete. We found our dreams for a deeply intimate ceremony, lost in the expectations of modern-day wedding planning. We decided to take a leap of faith, following our adventurous hearts and ELOPE. Elle & Co transformed our elopement vision into a reality assisting with planning and providing exceptional care. Dani was truly my cheerleader and best friend wedding planner. Her listening skills are impeccable and attention to details makes her a true artist. Upon meeting Jed and Dani, we knew we made the right choice. We love their energy and connection, so natural. Our elopement was absolutely perfect, everything we hoped and dreamed for. The ceremony was private and intimate captured across breath-taking, beautiful landscape. Time stood still and there was only our forever. Our decision to elope was the most beautiful testament to our love. Our pictures take our breath away with every look. Cheers to adventure, love and elopement Elle and Co. Love always, Alexader & Kee Albaugh

Hi there, I'm Rhiannon (you know...like the Fleetwood Mac song) My job is literally a dream. Getting to do what I love while celebrating with incredible people.

Rhiannon has been incredible to work with! She is so kind and caring. And her work is amazing!!! One of my bridesmaids is even planning to use her for her upcoming wedding because of how beautiful my wedding pics came out and how wonderful Rhiannon was to work with day-of. Additionally, we had a family emergency and had to postpone our wedding. Rhiannon was so kind and understanding and made sure she could attend our rescheduled date! If you aren't already convinced, we also plan to keep using her for future photography needs!!

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. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. 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!
