Essence of Us Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Ilwaco, WA

Hi, I'm Madi! I'm the owner and lead photographer for Essence of Us Photography. I've always loved photography, but being able to combine art with the opportunity to tell real love stories is an absolute dream job. I specialize in both weddings and elopements/micro weddings, which means my job never looks the same from one day to the next. One day, I might capture an elopement in Mt. Rainier National Park and the next, I'm inside an industrial-chic venue in Pioneer Square. My job is always exciting and I wouldn't change a thing about it!

I’ve worked with Madi more than once, with her as the photographer at weddings I’ve officiated. She is SO fun and gets even her most anxious couples to relax. She’s super easy to talk to with always friendly and prompt communication. Her work is absolutely gorgeous, even in challenging settings where there are unwanted objects (or people) potentially ruining the background of a photo. {in the photos I’m sharing, there were kids behind us playing in the creek AND a bunch of people the other direction on the beach at the lake!} She is up for an adventure, which makes her perfect for elopements in places like forests, beaches, etc. She’s able to capture both the intimacy of the moment and the grandeur of the landscape at the same time. HIGHLY recommend!!

Love Knot Photography

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

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.

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

Hannah is incredible. We hired her for both our wedding and engagement shoots, and we couldn't be more pleased with her! She has an incredible eye for photography, an amazing work ethic, and a punctuality that is unmatched.. She was collaborative in our wedding plans and combined what we wanted with her experience; she supported our vision but provided direct feedback when she knew something we didn’t. She asked questions respectfully through our wedding day and engagement session to make sure we felt seen and cared for; she was 100% present through the entire process. Hiring her is like hiring a friend: she is kind, thoughtful, and invested in the relationship you create together. She is also very professional, diplomatic, and responsible. Ultimately, you can trust she’ll take the BEST care of you, which is exactly what we all need. And of course, her photos are top freaking notch. You won’t regret having Hannah photograph your special events!!!

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.

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!

Based in the PNW, I'm a seasoned photographer with 17+ years crafting love stories through weddings and portraits. Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do." Immerse yourself in the art of storytelling through my lens, turning your wedding day dreams into timeless memories.

I booked Joie because of her beautiful images but when we started to see images of her creations with flatlays on her Instagram, we couldn't wait for our wedding day! She asked me to gather the details I would need for the day prior to the wedding day and my bridesmaids and I were so impressed by her when she showed up with her little kit and just got to working. I love love love love (too many loves to count) my wedding photos and I can't help but think that I was so lucky when I snatched her as my photographer! Joie was such a pleasure to work with from our engagements to the helping us with timeline building and giving us ideas for what to plan for and of course our wedding day! I can't express in words how grateful I am to have had her hold my hand through the process.

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

She captured the beauty of our summer day, while also keeping the photos moody and romantic. Dana was so approachable from the start, and she was a pleasure to talk to throughout the process. I gave her a detailed schedule, knowing I hate sitting still for pictures, so we did 30 minutes of portraits with my partner and 30 minutes with family - the rest I wanted to be candid shots of our guests having fun. The final photos captured the day perfectly, and so many of our guests complimented Dana's work. She was even able to beautifully showcase all the effort we put into decorating our property for the wedding.

My hope is for you to feel the way your loved one hugged you as they gave you away, to laugh as you look back at the best man giving his speech...every captured moment has a feeling. I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

If I could go up to everyone to suggest Emily til my lungs gave out, I would. We used her for our engagement photos and wedding photos, and I want to use her for all my life events. Her photos are obviously what drew me in at first, but once I met her, it was her personality. She is so bright, she makes you feel like you're her new best friend. She is fun, energetic, and efficient (which we love, since my husband hates photos). Emily not only acted as my photographer the day of my wedding, but was also my hype woman, and support person. She made me feel calm in the chaos. She made me feel beautiful. I think when you are a beautiful person inside and out like her, it's an easy thing to do. You know you have a gem when everyone is coming up to you to tell you how "your photographer is so awesome". She captured some of the most beautiful, vulnerable, moments during that day and turned them into a story and I love that she could be apart of such a special day.

From the moment we first spoke with Kendra, we knew she was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Her easygoing personality immediately put us at ease, and it was clear she truly listened to our vision. Neither of us feels particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but Kendra guided us effortlessly, balancing gentle coaching with allowing us to simply be ourselves. On the day of our backyard wedding, her professionalism and adaptable, go-with-the-flow approach made everything feel seamless. She captured every detail—from the small personal touches to the candid, heartfelt moments—so beautifully that each photo takes us right back to that joyful day. Even months later, our guests are still raving about how wonderful Kendra was, and it's easy to see why. Her stunning, detailed work speaks for itself, and we are forever grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly.

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

Jennifer and her team are seriously a dream come true. I could not have imagined better photos that captured our wedding day and all the feelings we had. The wedding went by so fast I almost didn’t remember everything. But then came my stunning photos from Jennifer. She brought me back to that day and I felt like I was reliving the day again. Jennifer and her team are so talented and make you feel comfortable and helped guide us in poses, etc. Will gladly recommend her to anyone in the future wanting exquisite photos and an incredible photographer.
