Our experience with JL Thomas Photography was incredible. We are so grateful to have booked with Jen. She answered all of our questions and more. With the package we booked for our day, we did the pre wedding shoot, which we used for our save the date invites. Jen was very easy to work with, kind, fun, and non-judgmental. We were very inexperienced with posing as a couple, Jen was very helpful and guided us through the shoot. For the wedding day, she was on time and kept communication going with a zoom meeting a week or two before the wedding and throughout the wedding day. Everyone that met Jen at our wedding complimented, "man, your photographer is so nice!" and we agree! She gave us sneak peek photos of our day very quickly and already we were so impressed! When we got the full photo package, we were in awe! There are so many great moments documented with friends and family. Our couple shots were so well done, and we loved her editing style. I can't brag enough about how we loved our photographer and our photos.

Seattle Flashing Lights Photography

Meet your favorite FUNtographer: Stephanie began her studies with the plan to become a pilot. However, as her love for photography grew, she decided to pursue her passion as a business full time, getting to weave her love of capturing moments artistically and want to share that passion with others into a successful business where her clients always come first. Building into her style, she found her travels and time living abroad in college have influenced her images and allowed her to challenge her personal style of capturing moments, and coupled with lots of in the field learning, she is able to catch true emotions in a timeless way.

Emma Lee Photography

  • Serves Kent, WA

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.

Emma is so talented and amazing to work with! She made a ton of recommendations for me because I’m eloped I didn’t know who to call, she played such a big part in putting my day together! My photos are so incredible I could not be happier with how they turned out. She made my husband and I both feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture so much emotion! She’s incredibly gifted at what she does and I cannot say enough good things about her!!

Jonathan Tung Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Kent, WA

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 did an amazing job with our photos. The whole experience from a meeting before to consult about how we wanted the day to go, to easy to follow direction and advice on how to get the best possible pictures on the day. Jonathan is competent and quick but also laid back and helped us take the stress off what is already a very stressful day. And then the photos turned out truly special. Even on an overcast day he was able to create some beautiful photos that will last a lifetime for us. He had ideas for poses and framing but also gave us space to do what felt natural. We would LOVE to work with him again. Cannot recommend him enough

Lindsey Paradiso Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Kent, WA

Like many kids in the late '90s and early 2000s, I grew up with a camera in hand—Polaroids, video cameras, disposables, film—you name it. I was captivated by the magic of preserving moments and telling stories. Now, as a wedding photographer, I bring that same passion to capturing your day. I’m known for making people feel warm and at ease, whether it’s connecting with your family, hyping up the wedding party, or quietly documenting the in-between moments. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, celebrated, and truly themselves while preserving memories you’ll treasure forever.

Lindsey photographed my wedding in June 2017. My fiancée and I at the time were running into some vendor issues because of where we live and the fact that we are a same-sex couple, so when Lindsey wanted to have lunch with us, we were nervous to say the least. However, it was only minutes into the conversation that I knew we’d found the perfect photographer for us. Lindsey shared her personal stories with us, and made us feel like we were talking with a friend we’d known for years. Wedding days are hectic, and we had a large wedding party, but Lindsey didn’t miss a beat from start to finish. Needless to say, our pictures turned out perfect, and Lindsey was able to photograph our special day wonderfully! We still get compliments about how beautiful our photos are almost 5 years later! Lindsey was professional, empathetic, and a joy to work with. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

I'm here for the couples that want their wedding to be a damn good time. Whether it's a massive weekend-long wedding with a 30 person wedding party, or a vibrant backyard love celebration with an epic playlist, I will be there to make sure every awesome moment is captured in all its glory!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want the photographer of your dreams and a hype woman, Brynna is the one! Both my husband and I are the most unphotogenic people on the planet (think Chandler from Friends), but Brynna has a way about her that makes you feel beautiful and a natural in front of a camera. Throughout our entire COVID wedding experience, Brynna was nothing but flexible and positive. We had to move our wedding up by three weeks and Brynna didn't bat an eyelash and was there in a heartbeat, thank goodness she was even available! When the big day came, I was beyond miserable from the anxiety, but when our photos came back, I see nothing but beautiful memories. Looking at our 900 photos brings tears to my eyes; my husband and I are having a tough time choosing which to hang in our home! I cannot recommend Brynna enough, you won't be disappointed!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have been in my share of weddings and know there are photographers who either miss moments or take cheesy pictures - Doug exceeded my hopes and expectations. He got all the shots I wanted and some really awesome candids. He was able to get shots of the important moments and used the space and the lighting to our advantage. He managed to get up close shots but somehow I never felt like a camera was in my face. On top of all that - he was extremely kind, attentive, and efficient. I highly recommend using Doug for your wedding!!!

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.

I’m a Bridal makeup artist and got to work with Chelsea on numerous occasions- working with so many vendors through the years, you know when you meet a gem. Chelsea is professional, an expert at her craft but yet do kind and down to earth. She makes you feel so welcomed, always! Regarding her actual images- her images are so beautiful and document each event with such passion. She is a photographer I will always recommend to my brides because I KNOW they will be in good hands! Hire Chelsea and you will not regret it!

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

My husband and I got married at the beginning of December, right in the middle of Pandemic crises and another round of shutdowns. Will was extremely flexible with our schedule & helped me with planning throughout the whole process! I may have changed my plan 10 times and each time he agreed without any issues. Will took the most beautiful pictures of us and most importantly he had the best attitude! We are looking forward to working with him in the near future!

I believe that everyone is beautiful. Somewhere deep within you, there is a fire of light and joy. Not everyone’s light shines in the same way or with the same strength or even all the time. Stuff changes. People are different, but deep down, everyone is connected to the little bit of themselves that is truly theirs. I’m also all about being adventurous. That could mean we’re going to go climb a mountain or it might mean we’re going to try the really spicy chai tea. By experiencing life in the process of making photos, you’re going to be even more connected to the images because they will have stories that go along with them.

We had the privilege of working with Joe for multiple wedding events as we wanted a fall mountain top elopement & micro party followed by a larger party in the spring. As we started planning the different events, it was most important to us to have a photographer experienced in mountain top celebrations. We decided to work with Joe and could not have chosen better. Joe not only ran up a mountain with us but was involved in all the planning details including sharing a list of the best larch hikes, watching the weather and pinpointing exactly when golden hour would be hitting specific peaks. Even as the sun was setting and the light was fading, Joe found all the last bits of alpenglow to make us feel and look like we were the only ones standing on top of the world. He even carried heavy film cameras with him to capture the evening and we're so glad he did as they resulted in some of our favorite photos. The photos Joe took exceeded all our expectations and we have been excited and proud to share them with all our friends and family. Joe's skill doesn't stop on a mountain top. For our micro and macro party events, he brought an incredible sense of calm and serenity to all the wedding chaos around us. He was somehow everywhere, capturing incredible candid moments while still taking leadership to direct the posed shots we wanted. Joe captured the differences and highlighted the uniqueness in each of our events and yet each gallery we received feels cohesive and timeless. It's impossible to choose favorites and it's going to be very difficult to determine which photos to hang on our walls.

Becky G Studios

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Kent, WA

California native, PNW resident, coffee drinker, dog scritcher, friend, forward-thinker, designer. I hate having my photo taken (go figure), my dog Boone makes me laugh every day, and I thrive off of honest, intentional conversations. I’ve worked as a photographer for over 8 years and I know that half the job is connecting with people and offering them an experience, not just a gallery. I believe you have to feel comfortable with the person behind the camera before you can let go and fully be yourself in front of it.

Becky worked with us for our elopement photoshoot in October 2023 and it was an incredible experience from inquiry through the photoshoot itself. I had been referred to Becky through a friend who had worked with Becky on her own beautifully photographed wedding. Becky’s warm response to my inquiry set the stage for a great experience. Becky is exceedingly organized and communicative, meeting with us over video chat and later chatting with us through her online portal. She helped us create a shared vision for the day, and leading up to the photoshoot, we felt confident the day would go very well. I was admittedly very nervous for the shoot, as I feel uncomfortable posing in front of a camera. Becky’s demeanor - calm, comfortable, funny, and enthusiastic - settled my nerves immediately and allowed me to be present with my husband on this meaningful day. The photos Becky took are simply incredible. She captured our relationship and new marriage beautifully, while also highlighting the gorgeous landscape. Becky’s photos are truly a gift we cherish.

To be perfectly honest, I love what I do. I'm damn good at it. I have dabbled in all sorts of jobs but I kept coming back to the camera. It feels really good to take the craft that I love so much and share it. The scope of my photography is wide but I specialize in weddings and elopements. I've been photographing weddings since 2005. I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with. Having a phone or zoom chat or meeting in person is a good move!

I don’t take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time. I spelI things how i want and I will never wait for a crosswalk. I prefer quality over quantity. Unless we’re talking about coffee, chocolate, wine, shopping, and deals…then i want quality and quantity. I’ve got a potty mouth and a good heart. I give so many fucks about what I do. The details, the experience and creating some real good imagery. I’m an artist and I want to create something beautiful for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are truly not enough wonderful things to say about Andria: our wedding simply would not have been as magical as it was without her. She was immediately part of our family, fixing my mom's hair clip, giving me advice on how to use the bathroom in a wedding dress (facing the wall!) calming my best friend's nerves, complimenting my grandmother. She was at once everywhere and nowhere at all, capturing EVERY moment in such beautiful, incredible detail and yet never ever pulling focus or getting in the way. Her photos speak for themselves and I can't possibly put into words how incredible she is behind a lens, but I will say that looking at each of the 1,400 photos she sent us (SO quickly and with tons of gracious communication) instantly transports me to each precious moment of the best day of my life. I can't possibly overstate my gratitude or recommend her highly enough-- look no further, lucky reader. You've found your photographer!!

An Illinois-born Creative and Alternative (Ordained) Wedding Photographer and Designer living in West Seattle. I love my two Standard Poodles - Gallifrey & Lola, my perfectly worn in black leather jacket, my dark blue BMW Z4 aka "Sexy", Doctor Who, a really good cup of coffee (or three) and my ever supportive partner on this journey - Casey. I believe that everyone has a story and that story deserves to be captured and told. Love is love. Weddings, elopements, proposals, vow renewals, couples portraits and more... I'm here for it in the PNW and beyond.

From the moment we booked Brandy A Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Brandy and her assistant were personable, clear, and warm in their communication, guiding us through the process with a direct and action-oriented approach. Their work was truly exceptional - Brandy has an incredible eye for capturing the unique personality and special moments of our wedding day. She made sure to get all the photos we requested, but also had the creativity to add in her own artistic touches that we hadn't even thought of. Brandy and her assistant were a pleasure to work with - they blended into the background seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and comfortable throughout the day. My grandson even commented on how much he enjoyed working with them. I personally loved how Brandy's assistant was able to communicate without saying a word, anticipating our needs and making the whole experience effortless. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Brandy A Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable, and professional wedding photographer.

I am a Seattle wedding photographer and would be considered a "natural light photographer" - which basically means I want your photos to look as natural and real as possible! I have a degree in journalism which gives my photos an in the moment storytelling feel. Family portraits and those perfectly posed photos are some of the most important photos of the day, and we definitely do not forget to capture those as well as those gorgeous wide epic bride and groom portraits!

WOW!!! My husband and I were nervous about taking photos since we are not used to posing and be in front of the camera but Sydney made us feel soooo comfortable!! The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and I’m forever in awe of them.
