If you want to see yourself captured in an elegent, MAGICAL way that has you jaw-dropped staring at your screen thinking, "It's like she peered into our very SOULS and gave us everything we wanted!" book Zoe for a shoot. My wife and I told her we wanted a Princess Bride-themed wedding/engagement shoot and not only did she deliver, the results look like frame stills from a faithful HD remake, fog and sparkles and romance and all. She normally does portrait photography so we were so happy she covered our ceremony afterward. And it's not like you can't tell until you see the results - Working with Zoe, you'll see her zipping around, improvising, framing shots, all while filming a behind-the-scenes of the whole thing, and it's a wonder to behold. It was a great journey from start to finish and we loved working with her and I've no doubt we will do so again next time we need a boost of magic in our lives!

Tetiana Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Many things have changed since I discovered photography at the age of 12, I've traveled the world, received my degree in marketing, got married to my favorite human, and even moved from my home country of Ukraine to the US (well, that's a story for some other time :)! One thing always accompanied me though - my passion for photography! This passion allowed me to meet some absolutely incredible people and capture the most meaningful moments for them! I cannot be more grateful for my childhood dream to become a reality!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough positive things about Tetiana aka Tanya. Over the past 2-3 years, I have had the opportunity to work with her on dozens of weddings and editorials, and more recently, professional portraits for my own business. Tanya is creative, professional, compassionate, and skilled. She has a way of being with people that puts them at ease, and uplifts them without even trying. During our portrait session, it felt like we were just hanging out (I consider myself to be somewhat awkward, especially in front of the camera, so that says a lot). She had countless suggestions for shots I never even know I needed. Now that I have my full gallery back, I can officially say that I am thrilled with the results. The photos were originally intended for my social media channels and website, but I realize they're so much more than that, and will be keepsakes I will cherish and look back on years from now to remember this part of my 30's. If you're on the fence about hiring Tanya, let this review be your deciding factor!

Amy Kiel Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I'm Amy & I'm so glad you're here! So, you’ve found your person & you’re both taking the plunge, eh? Rad! Tell me everything! I gravitated towards photographing weddings because they are so incredible to witness & everyone deserves stunning imagery of their vows, of their family, of their teary-eyed, sniffly first dances with dad. I am an intentional portrait photographer & documentarian. I like to take it slow. I’ll be a fly on the wall when necessary but I'll definitely go after a good portrait when I see it. With our powers combined, together we can create some stunning imagery you'll cherish for always.

Amy Kiel was an absolute dream to work with! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she has a genuine warmth and kindness that sets her apart from others in her field. Her attention to detail and amazing talent were evident in the GORGEOUS final photos from our wedding!! We could not have been happier with our experience in working with her, and the lasting memories she captured of our special day. We would recommend her 1,000 times over!!

Anna Peters Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Anna spent nearly two decades training as a classical ballerina and photographing dance, often sneaking cameras backstage to shoot from the wings while still in costume. She was hooked on wedding photography instantly - the mosaic of emotion and energy that cascades across a wedding day felt like a natural extension of the magic she chased on stage as a dancer. Anna lives and works out of Seattle, though she’s lucky enough to follow her clients up and down the West Coast and occasionally across the globe.

I cannot give enough positive praise for Anna and her beautiful work. Her talent is incredible and is only surpassed by her true compassion for people. Both create a perfect scenario for stunning wedding photography, especially her film photography. She took the time to understand the vision for our wedding and the relationships most important to us so we could have photos that match our priorities. Anna also has a wonderful balance of professionalism and chillness. We were never stressed from photo to photo. She let us know what to expect and also found opportunities for magically unplanned moments. Her photos on our walls are memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

Roddy Chung Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I believe every wedding has its striking moment. The moment when you walk down the aisle seeing your husband-to-be on the other side gently waiting, and teardrops involuntarily slip from your eyes. The moment when you throw away your self-consciousness to dance with the love of your life no matter how funny you look. And of course, the moment when you witness over 50 years of marriage still standing strong, with many more years to come. That is the proof of true love. That’s why I decided to pursue wedding photography - I want to preserve those striking moments for you.

Choosing a wedding photographer felt like a daunting task until we stumbled upon Roddy’s stunning portfolio and set up a time to chat. My wife and I immediately knew he was the photographer for us and are so glad we were able to not only work with him, but get to know the fantastic person he is throughout the process. He captured the major moments of a wedding day, but also the intimidate, candid moments in between, including many epic dance shots. I can’t recommend him and his artistry highly enough!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Dionne Kraus Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I am a firm believer that friendship comes from learning the weird and quirky about a person, and still wanting to hang out with them after. And, since you will literally spend more time with your photographer than most anyone else on your wedding day, I want to be friends. We NEED to be friends. Like, I’ll-probably-end-up-holding-your-dress-up-while-you-pee type friends. That’s practically BFF status. I’m not only in the business of capturing your epically rad and emotional moments, I am also in the business of making lasting friendships, both of which I’m really awesome at.

Dionne could not have been better. She is such an enthusiastic, fun professional. She helped us feel comfortable, and made sure our day ran smooth even with a small hiccup. Her photography is breath taking. It was one of my favorite things to com out of my wedding day! Her ability to capture light, and add her own artistic view made it extremely hard to pick favorites! We would 12/10 recommend Dionne again and again!

Love knows no bounds. Every person is deserving of love and deserving of having it captured perfectly. I believe in equality. I believe in living simply and loving deeply. I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

Bethany Bloem Photography was the perfect choice for our vow renewal. From the very beginning, Bethany and her team were super attentive, helpful, and friendly - always quick to respond to our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. It was in Yosemite National Park, they expertly directed us into beautiful poses and made the most of the stunning location, capturing perfection in every shot. The final photos were absolutely awesome and worth every penny - we are thrilled with how they documented our special day. Bethany Bloem Photography is simply the best and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

After finishing my degree in Fine Arts, I mentored under After Midnight Photography and have since honed my work into something I'm truly proud of. The experiences I've had and people I've gotten to meet along the way have formed my skill and kept my soul aflame. While I call Washington home, I feel most alive on the road to new destinations. I believe that you’re your most authentic self while traveling and learning. I love collaborating with all people and like to think I have an eye for taking photos that express you for who you are as a whole. No two people are the same, your portraits should reflect that!

Siri was super easy to work with - we were coming from out of town and I had a few email conversations with her, a phone call and we met up in person once before the wedding, she always made us feel at ease, had all the right questions and made sure we were getting what we wanted. We couldn't be happier with how the sneak peak of our photos turned out and we are super excited to see the rest of them. Get the second phot shooter of your budget allows for it.

Welcome to Your Love My Lens, where our team of passionate photographers is dedicated to capturing your love story. Our collective expertise spans across various backgrounds and styles, ensuring that every moment is captured with care and creativity.

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning my wedding was definitely exciting, but had a lot of stressful moments because I can be a perfectionist and very indecisive. I think I was mostly nervous about booking a photographer because eventually people will forget the details maybe even the dress I chose, but the pictures are forever. So that was what I wanted to be absolutely perfect. Let me tell you… my prayers were answered when I found Rabab!!! I was immediately drawn by her absolutely stunning work, and I knew that was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. When I met Rabab in person, to discuss my needs for a photographer and get a quote, I was instantly put at ease when I met her. She has a way of making anyone feel very comfortable with her charismatic personality. She is also funny and made me feel like we were friends instantly! She was able to customize what I was looking for which was really nice because other photographers that I reached out before had a very rigid package that they offered. Rabab genuinely cares and always aims to please. When I first saw our engagement photos, I literally cried tears of joy. There’s only been a couple of other times in my life when that has happened. I just genuinely felt so overjoyed and completely ecstatic with Rabab‘s PERFECT work!!! I am not comfortable taking pictures because I don’t feel that I’m photogenic and again I am super picky and a perfectionist, but Rabab captured my very best features and angles, and made me look better than I ever have! I was instantly ecstatic to see what our wedding pictures would look like, and she did not disappoint me once. She is super professional, kind, genuine, and offered to help me the day of my wedding with little things that she didn’t have to do with her role as my photographer. looking back on my wedding day there are certain things I would do differently… but I am the most grateful for Rabab! I will forever be more than satisfied and overjoyed that I chose her to be our wedding photographer. Her stunning work speaks for itself!!! she is crazy talented, and absolutely brilliant! She is also a brilliant artist, it’s so inspiring to meet someone that talented in so many ways! She is someone that I consider an honor to know, and have worked with. Trust me… The best decision you can make is hiring Rabab. She is everything a wedding photographer should be and so much more, she exceeded my already perfect expectations!!

Real Connections. Raw Emotions. Candid Moments. 

 These are the values behind what we do. These three words are the heart and soul of our work and everything we do is based around adventure and authenticity. When you hire us, you are hiring photographers who truly care about the experience you will have on your day. We don’t mind getting a little dirty or wet. We don’t mind staying until after dark to get the perfect shot. We don’t mind the hikes, or the time in-between each event. We are truly there for you and to tell the story of your day exactly as it happens

We are absolutely thrilled with our decision to book Candance as our wedding photographer. Initially, we almost missed the chance to work with her, but after an unexpected cancellation with our previous photographer, we reached out to Candance. She graciously adjusted her schedule and was able to accommodate our engagement shoot within a week of our request. Working with Candance and her husband Corey was an absolute delight. Candance is incredibly sweet, professional, and brought a wealth of creative ideas for poses and backgrounds. Her calming presence was a blessing on our busy wedding day. The photos we’ve received so far are some of our all-time favorites. Candance was, without a doubt, the best vendor we worked with throughout our wedding planning process. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer. You will not regret booking her!

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Halcyon Echo 

5.0

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

Working with Karly and having her shoot my wedding was a wonderful experience! She was such a pleasure to work with and captured the most amazing candid photos of our special day.

Within a week after our wedding, they provided us with a sneak peek of some of the most beautiful shots, including a stunning 1 minute film, that I’ve ever seen of me, my husband, and our friends and family. I watch the 1 minute film that Vitaly made us every single day. And I spend hours looking at Anna’s gorgeous photos. If I can give one piece of advice to any couple getting married it’s that you should invest in the best photo package you can with Purity Weddings. When all is said and done, all you’re left with is memories and photos, and there’s nobody better to capture the beauty of every single detail you spent so much time putting into your wedding. Thank you guys!!!!

I consider it such an honor to be invited in to capture one of the most important days of your life. I began photography in 2018 with a mission to candidly and beautifully imprint your most special moments in a way that allows you to relive them over and over, while saving them for generations to come.

Brittany did an excellent job of recording my daughter’s wedding!! She went above and beyond my expectations! She captured moments like I’ve never seen before…the joy and love that my daughter and son-in-law have for each other was so evident in her pictures! She kept in touch with us at all times and her price was beyond reasonable!!! Thank you, Brittany for the wonderful memories we’ll have forever!!

Moments by Danielle Nicole is a light and airy photographer and videographer, serving brides in South Dakota, Minnesota, and open to travel to beautiful destination locations. MBDN leans towards a luxury wedding photographer and fine art type of editing style.

We hired Danielle for our wedding after our original photo/video team cancelled on us 6 months out. As stressful as it was, I’m so glad that happened because Danielle is AMAZING. She is truly one of the sweetest people I have ever met and her light and airy photos are stunning. She is very professional and organized. She loves what she does and it shows through her work. We all know posing for pictures is awkward sometimes, but Danielle made us and our bridal party feel comfortable on the wedding day and it shows in the photos just how much fun we had with her. Danielle actually lives in SD about 45 minutes from my husband and I and we have already discussed that she will be our go to photographer for all our future photo needs. Her prices are beyond reasonable for everything included in her packages. We actually got the same amount of coverage as the original team we hired, but for about 1500 less which is huge when planning a wedding! If you’re looking for a photo/video team reach out to Danielle, you won’t be disappointed!

I'm Megan, a fine art wedding photographer serving New England & the Pacific Northwest. I've been photographing weddings since 2015, and I still tear up during just about every wedding ceremony. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm running after my one year old daughter, renovating our 1932 colonial home, and adding to my continually growing collection of cookbooks.

Megan is one of the kindest, nicest, most wonderful humans, on top of being a truly fantastic photographer. From the first call to discuss her style and how the process would go, we could tell she was different. She was so easy to work with! She made everything feel so natural and put both me and my now-husband at ease. She was considerate and creative both during our engagement shoot and our actual wedding day, offering suggestions and taking advantage of the beautiful scenery, golden hour, and spontaneous moments to truly capture our day. She treated us and our party with tenderness and grace, and brought an incredible calm to a very busy day. Her photos are also absolutely gorgeous! Looking at them, I honestly can’t believe they’re real! She elevated what she saw and captured our day, distilling the emotions and experience, and produced photos that are a perfect encapsulation of our day: full of pure joy, love, and light. I am so glad we worked with Megan - we will treasure the moments she captured forever. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I’ve always been the girl with the camera. In high school, my idea of a good time was planning photoshoots with my friends and editing our high school yearbook. But when I got to college, I felt like I needed to get a practical degree, so I chose the most creative business major I could find – marketing. Then I met Thomas. My photo hobby became something more because he recognized my passion and encouraged me to make it a reality. He’s been my second shooter since the very first wedding.

I've been putting off writing this review because I feel like no words can fully explain the amazing experience I had with the Ganeys. I first met Emily and Thomas when I was a bridesmaid in my friends' wedding in Florida, which the Ganeys were shooting! Based on that day and the resulting photos, I knew how talented this pair was and I REALLY wanted them for my own wedding. After getting engaged, I actually reached out to Emily before we even had a venue or date booked. Once they signed on to be our wedding photographers, my (already high) expectations were totally exceeded. I loved how organized, detailed-oriented, and responsive Emily was as we planned our engagement shoot and wedding day. At the engagement shoot, they did an amazing job including our 2 golden retrievers and shooting in sub-optimal weather conditions. Emily is so kind, thoughtful, and talented as a photographer, and Thomas is the secret ingredient that makes grooms everywhere feel at ease! This husband and wife team communicates so well and I believe that is part of the reason why they make their jobs look so effortless and fun on your wedding day and why the photos are so breathtaking. We can't wait to host Emily and Thomas at our house in a few weeks, and show off the way we've displayed their photos around the house!! I would be more than happy to share my full gallery and answer questions from any other brides/grooms considering the Ganeys.
