Jennifer and her team at JL Thomas Photography were an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From our very first interaction, their communication style was clear, gentle, and direct - putting us completely at ease. Jennifer was incredibly flexible and went above and beyond our expectations, even helping with small details to ensure our day ran smoothly. We have very contrasting skin tones, and were worried about how the photos would turn out, but Jennifer's expertise shone through. Each and every photo was perfectly balanced with no distortion, showcasing the beauty and intimacy of our celebration. The quality of her work was truly worth every penny, and we are overjoyed with the stunning memories she captured for us to cherish forever.

WA-based photographer specializing in weddings, portraits, and lifestyle photography. I offer candid, documentary, vintage, raw, and true-to-color galleries, plus film, Super 8, and content creation!

My husband and I never got wedding photos done and after two years of being married we decided it was time. The photos are gorgeous, and I cried the day April sent me the final edits. She helped choose a place that matched my dress and aesthetics. Overall the best photography experience I’ve ever had. I will definitely be contacting her for any future photos!

Hey there, thanks for stopping in! I'm Rachel, I was raised in a little farm town in the southeast corner of Washington. My family moved over to the Seattle area just after grade school and I graduated Auburn Riverside High School in 2008. I met my partner and we have built an amazing life in the foothills of Mount Rainier.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so surprised how easily Rachel makes you feel comfortable and confident in front of a camera. She knows just how to get you present and in the moment of any emotion you are looking to capture. Her diversity within angles and shots is amazing and she intelligently creative. Rachel is a great listener and takes everything you are envisioning into account while also taking control and weeding out any awkwardness you may feel while in front of a camera. Overall we have had several shoots with her. An engagement shoot with my high school sweet heart, she captured our excitement over the purchase of our converted sprinter van AND shot the inside and outside of the van, capturing its beauty and a professional business photo when I got into Real Estate. We love RachelMB Photography!

Seattle + PNW Wedding Photographer - Documenting the REAL Stuff - Bold, Authentic, Unscripted Storytelling Hey there - I'm Jess. I'm a Seattle wedding & elopement photographer for couples who keep it real, who make their own traditions, who value the little things (that are actually the big things) and real moments over photo ops. For me, that's the stuff that matters. If it's the stuff that matters to you, then heyyyy - let's be friends!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica made my day feel so special, and I have the pictures to prove it! The entire process of selecting a photographer and planning my elopement was overwhelming. There are so many beautiful places in WA state and I quickly felt anxious and stressed - until I found Bloom & Wander Co. Jessica is so knowledgeable when it comes to scouting the 'perfect' place that met my wildest wishes. She does a phenomenal job with paying attention to the details I envisioned and planned the perfect timeline for the allotted schedule. We initially had a consultation, and I immediately felt a connection and sense of trust. As soon as I made my deposit, I knew I could take a breath, and have the internal confidence that she would make my dreams reality, plan the day hour-by-hour, and deliver high quality photos for the best day of my life that I will always remember. In order to make this happen, she requests information on a few occasions to get to know what you'd want, who you want pictures with, names of attendees, any special demands, what is important for you, and much more. She truly cares about producing the best work she can with your vision in mind- she risked her super cute purple sweater by laying on the dirt covered ground to capture a champagne toast from below, gave me her sweater to sit on so we could take pictures in my wedding dress in the wildflowers, and used different methods/lenses for enhanced creativity. The night before, she even texted me to change the start time of the ceremony because she was able to check and see what exact time the sun would crest over the mountains for better lighting and pictures. This time change made a huge (positive) difference in the lighting and I am so glad she pay attention to these details! Her personality is so bubbly, fun, and warm. Everyone in attendance at my ceremony had kind words to say about her post-ceremony. I was in complete awe of my photos when they were returned to me. I relived the day over again. I can see the love and happiness radiate in each photo. Her directions to have us laughing, hugging, kissing, and posing were easy to follow and we did not feel awkward. If you are looking for a skilled photographer who doesn't view you as a source of their income, but genuinely is passionate and excited about your special day, producing beautiful photos, and exploding with creativity - schedule Bloom & Wander Co! You will NOT regret it.

  • Serves La Grande, WA

I got my first digital camera at 13 and spent the afternoons capturing flowers in our backyard; ever since it's been my dream to have my own photography business. Photography and writing were the two ways I expressed myself and were their own kind of therapy for me. And now, I use photography as a type of therapy for my clients. I believe there is a power in the vulnerability of being and feeling seen. So, photography is my tool to help others feel truly seen and celebrated. It's so important to make everyone feel this way, especially on their elopement/wedding day :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Hailey and I met at a retreat where I had the opportunity to get to know her working style + art + personality. What you need to know about Hailey, beyond her incredibly crafted images, is that she is a kind, gentle, and intuitive human. Hailey has a remarkable ability to listen + to discern the needs of those around her. She takes the time and has the care to get to know her subjects in a way that allows them to truly feel seen. I believe that Hailey uses this vulnerability superpower to create the beautiful images you see in her portfolio. When you hire Hailey you will be left in awe at not only the photographs you recieve but also the beautiful impression she leaves on you heart.

We are Amber French & Michael Sessa, a married photographer team. We love to cook, travel, skate and most of all our little pup Leo. We love working together, we've made it our full time job since 2009. We take portraits on land and by drone. We are now introducing videography to our packages! We would love to meet you

Amber and Mike are true gems. Not only are their photos just breathtaking but they are such awesome people. They made our day go so smoothly! They never pressured us to rush, they actually helped us enjoy every moment of the day and take our time so we didn’t feel stressed. They had such unique photo ideas and it made the day such an adventure. I feel like we can look at the pictures and be totally sent back to that day-they just captured every emotion so beautifully. They were so professional about every aspect of our day, but made us feel so comfortable at the same time. I usually feel awkward to have my picture taken but they made it fun! So thankful for them!

At Little Bit Photography, we are not just photographers; we are storytellers. With a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence, our team of seasoned photographers is dedicated to crafting a visual narrative that reflects the unique love story of each couple. From the tender glances exchanged during the ceremony to the joyous laughter on the dance floor, we aim to freeze these precious moments in time. We believe in creating an atmosphere of comfort and trust, allowing us to seamlessly blend into your celebration while capturing candid, genuine emotions.

I love Amber. She's very passionate about what she does & how it should be done. She is ever so patient too. We had about 42 family members at my wedding staying at the venue and she arrived with her assistant at 8:00am to start setting up and she left late in the evening. We could not have asked for a more dedicated photographer for our wedding. We definitely wanted more caught in the moment natural photography and she went above and beyond to catch some of the best moments of our big day. We have six children who were all grooms men & her patients/direction to get them to cooperate amazed us. My family was talking about her the next day after the wedding. She caught all the right moments at the right time even the kids doing crazy fun poses. She went above & beyond and even rerouted my officiant to remind him to let guests know not to take pictures or video tape our wedding (he told us he almost forgot) Thank Goodness for Amber & her team! Our ceremony was so romantic & intimate with no one snapping pictures but her. She was stopping in to talk to the maid of honor so not to stress me out, people who were pin pointed tasks she stopped to check in with. I am so grateful that she does everything with a smile because I'm sure we drove her crazy with my family & our anxiety! Haha She is thoughtful & thinks way ahead for every moment. She had us save a champagne bottle to use later for a sunset shoot which was so exciting and fun. Our first look was very special & full of tears from the groom. There are so many moments I will cherish because of Amber & her team. Amber- thank you so much for being a part of the best day of our life. You are honest, kind, generous, patient and so creative. You made our family laugh & you were so organized even with the chaos of such a big wedding. We appreciate you so much & how hard you worked. We are so excited to see the rest of our wedding pictures! The sneak peaks were AMAZING! A million thank you's!

From the moment we first reached out to Back Country Imagery, the communication was easy, fast, and helpful. The photographer, Meg, was extremely professional and knew exactly what she was doing. The quality of the photos was excellent - she captured all the special moments of our wedding day perfectly. The turnaround time was incredibly quick, and we were thrilled with the final results. We highly recommend Back Country Imagery - Meg is truly one of the best wedding photographers in the area!

I am a documentary family and wedding photographer located in the Seattle-Tacoma area. I accept commissions for family sessions, portraits, weddings, commercial and editorial work. I'm based in the Great Pacific Northwest, but please inquire about traveling, I love to do that too and do take commissions on the road when I can.

Jess is incredible. If you like her documentary style there is no reason not to hire her. From our first glance at her portfolio, we loved her magazine profile style shooting, our only fear being that because her sample shots were so good that when it came time for the wedding our photos wouldn't meet the bar. Jess shot our engagement & wedding photos and provided hundreds of high quality images that capture us as a couple and our guests personalities. She took the time to not only get to know what we hoped for but also who we were so she could really capture that. I didn't want to spend my wedding day posing for photos, but spending it with friends and family, and Jess understood that deeply. She was willing to ask for a shot when it made sense, but also melded into the wedding and took great shots capturing beautiful moments. Our wedding was split across three venues ranging from outdoor/harsh light, to cramped indoor room, and a massive banquet hall in each she did an excellent job and got images that truly feel like they could be printed in a glossy magazine. I feel so privileged to have had her be part of our wedding, in the end I find myself with similar sentiments to a reference I called, when asked how Jess ranked amongst their vendors, she said, "Can I rank her amongst my guests too? Because I think she was the best person at the entire wedding!"

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.

Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. -Personable and Friendly Approach One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs. -Unique Candid Photography Technique What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! -Superb Communication and Understanding Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our expectations. -Execution of Vision On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry. I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + adventure weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people have the wedding of their dreams in magical outdoor spaces. When you choose to elope, you’re choosing to get married free of society’s wedding day expectations. So go wild! Spend the entire day in your favorite place, with your favorite person. Wear a fancy outfit, or wear your hiking boots. Invite your dog instead of your mom’s second cousin. Share your first kiss under the stars instead of under an altar. In the great outdoors, you write the wedding rules. And I’m here to help make it an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

When we began looking for a photographer for our micro-wedding, we gravitated towards Nadia’s images over and over again. Not only did they capture raw, intimate moments between couples and families, but they elevated those moments in elegant and natural landscapes of the PNW; everything we wanted. We reached out and set up a consultation call immediately. We were initially nervous and felt very unprepared to speak with photographers because we had zero ideas for what our special day would look like, but after our call with Nadia we were confident that Venture Ever After was the right choice for us. She was so knowledgeable and did a TON of legwork planning our timeline to best capture the moments we wanted in the lighting we needed, recommending a variety of locations for some private moments as a couple and group activities with our family, and keeping us grounded and calm throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Nadia took the reigns and gently guided us through the day with compassion and grace. She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details. She even conquered some pretty crazy heights armed with multiple cameras and a walky-talky to capture some dramatic and beautiful couple’s portraits. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Nadia is one of the most genuine and kind people I’ve met. She has a knack for keeping elopement/wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. My partner and I truly felt like models. I feel so blessed to have our wedding photographed by her and, above all, be able to call her a friend. I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW. In fact, I hope to be able to visit her and capture anniversaries and momentous occasions for our family long into the future.

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and documentary style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

I’m Luke, a Seattle wedding photographer with a simple mantra: Guest First. Photographer Second. On your wedding day, I’m part of the celebration, prioritizing your experience and capturing the moments that truly matter. We’ll make time for great portraits, but my main goal is to document your day as it unfolds—no endless posing or pulling you away from the fun. From the laughs and tears to the joy, heart, and love, I’ll capture it all to make your day unforgettable.

We cannot say enough good things about Luke and his skills! From start to finish Luke was attentive, responsive, flexible, and super knowledgeable. During our initial meeting, he was able to answer all of our questions, even putting us at ease during all things covid, and his friendliness and professionalism are so well balanced it felt like talking to a good friend. He kept in contact with us leading up to the wedding, helped us with any last minute things, and even helped put together our day of timeline! On the day of the wedding, he brought such an uplifting and positive energy, and made taking photos a fun experience rather than an awkward task and all of our guests loved the way he was there to capture everything; even the littlest candid or goofy moments! The photos we received from our wedding day are absolute perfection and it feels like reliving our day! His prices are very reasonable considering the amount and quality of edited photos we received. There truly is no one better and we highly recommend Luke to anyone looking for a photographer for their engagement and/or wedding!
