  • Serves Lakewood, WA

I've been photographing weddings for 25 yeas in 2024! I love capturing authentic moments in true color. I went to college to learn photography and business. I've always wanted to be a photographer, and my studio specializes in weddings, maternity, newborns, and family photography. I believe in capturing all of the milestone moments for you, from when your family begins to when your kids go to college.

Irene of IJ Photos is a highly-skilled and respected photographer, but also one of the kindest, most sincere people you will ever meet in your life. It is that focus on people and their relationships that allows her couples to just relax and enjoy themselves knowing that Irene has all the shots covered. And it's those relaxed moments where the authentic relationship of a couple can shine through. Knowing that you're going to get great photos is certainly reason enough to hire Irene. But a big bonus is that you have her by your side while you're planning your wedding. She will often meet with couples at their venue - even if she's been there many times - to show them different spots and talk about lighting and such. As a colleague in the wedding industry, I respect her so much that I hired her to take our family photos last year.

Thank you so much for considering Tiggr Tales Photography to capture your special day! My name is Leihla and I am the woman behind the camera. I have been a full-time photographer since 2019, but picked up my first camera as a child and haven't stopped taking pictures since. A certified K-12 teacher, I began my career in lifestyle photography during a summer break some years ago and was instantly hooked. Photography has always been my first love and I am incredibly honored to be entrusted with some of the most important parts of people’s lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
With every good wedding something has to go wrong. And mine was nothing short of that. We had a destination wedding in Washington and my husband's suit was forgotten. Chaos absolutely ensued! But Tiggr Tales were so helpful and supportive when stuff hit the fan. They helped make sure that things fell into place and even accommodated to the half hour delay in starting. They are the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Accommodating to my budget and things that happened. The photos were stunning, the turn around time was very QUICK, like a week or so later. Each situation will be different, do keep that in mind, but the flexibility and work they both did was amazing. Thank you Leihla and TJ, we are honored you're apart of our family now!

  • Classic style
  • Serves Lakewood, WA

Hi, I'm Kristen! I live in Puyallup with my awesome husband and two super cute little girls Madison & Emily. I am a stay-at-home mom by day, and still a mom by night. Growing up, I was always (and still am) the person everyone rolled their eyes at because I always made everyone take all the pictures. Lucky for me, I got to turn that passion into capturing memories for other people. I love candids and catching you and your loved ones just being their real selves. Going on five years of doing this, and still loving every minute of it! ​

Kristen Scott Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Kristen's communication style was consistent, engaged, friendly, and communicative - she made us feel at ease and confident throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was simply amazing; she has an exceptional eye for detail and an easy-going demeanor that helped us stay on track on our busy wedding day. Kristen was right on time and helped us capture beautiful sunset photos that we'll cherish forever. I really enjoyed working with Kristen - she did our engagement photos (which we're obsessed with!), photos with us and our beloved pup before she passed away, and now our wedding photos. Kristen's work is truly exceptional, and we couldn't be happier with the perfect memories she captured of our special day.

I want to not only help you have the most amazing wedding day ever, but I want you to be able to relive it over and over again through your images. To be able to create that reminder of how deeply invested you are in your love for one another is the biggest honor. With the photos you have from your wedding day, you’ll go back to every single little detail, laugh and emotion of the night all your friends and family were in one place, celebrating you. I love capturing real emotion and raws moments it fuels my little heart tank and keeps me going. I have the best job ever. Let’s make magic!

Could Jahni be any more amazing?! Part of me wants to gatekeep Jahni and her incredible work so that I can have her all for myself, but the other part of me wants to sing her praises forever because she is the best. Jahni did a couples session with us in 2020 and our wedding in 2022 after being delayed (twice) due to the pandemic. She was so flexible and easy to work with during pandemic times and we couldn't have appreciated that more! She made our wedding day so relaxed, fun, and captured all the moments that we wanted to remember. Honestly, she was one of my favorite parts of our wedding day and I will recommend her to everyone I know!

  • Serves Lakewood, WA

Hey! I'm Heather. I specialize in micro weddings and elopements (and relaxed/lifestyle family photography as well). I care a lot about knowing what's actually important to you and how you want to feel throughout your wedding day... Toss any external expectations of what you *should* do. I want to help you plan how you really want to spend the day, who you want to spend it with, and where you want to be. I want you to feel like you can really be IN the moment and soak up all the love and support by those present with you. I want you to feel seen and celebrated every step of the way.

There is no shortage of wonderful things to say about Heather! Heather captured our engagement and wedding photos and made us feel incredible throughout the entire process. She managed to keep up with our changing ideas, event locations, and emotions. She manages to capture genuine moments and emotions in a beautifully artistic way that is hard to describe with words. I am so glad that we chose her to capture such a momentous occasion--not only are our photographs beautiful, but our days were made better and brighter by Heather's presence. We were blessed to have her with us for our entire wedding day that included getting ready photos, our ceremony at Elope 253, dinner, bowling, and an arcade trip! She even carved out time for us to have our first dance at a gorgeous park right after sunset which meant the world to us. She helped so much throughout the day, from helping fix my veil and organizing a bubble exit, to saving my niece's night with Shout wipes. If you're looking for someone to capture authentic moments from your special days in a beautiful way that will leave all of your family and coworkers impressed, Heather is definitely the right choice!

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Northern Colorado and Western Washington. In my free time I hike, eat lots of food and play with cat & dog. I find photography to be an amazing creative outlet and love using it as a way to connect with some amazing people.

Awarded Best of Zola
We enjoyed Ashley (and Nate) through and through. They are friendly, professional, and experts at what they do. We are obsessed with every photo we got back, felt extremely comfortable in front of the camera with them, and loved the unique settings and poses we got to do. Ashley also saved the day many times during my wedding (helped with my bustle, fixed a bar issue, etc) and I couldn’t thank her enough. Will be using them in the future for any photographic needs they are willing to work with us for!!

Located in the Seattle/Tacoma area willing to travel anywhere to be your official hype woman!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

PictureMeThisbyLacie was the most amazing photographer we could have dreamed of. Lacie and her husband made our day an absolute breeze! We even had sneak peek pictures before the nights festivities came to an end. Lacie and our videographer worked seamlessly together, we would recommend her over and over again, without hesitation.

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully.

Imagine Elopements Photography

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

As two VERY busy people who get camera shy, my husband (eeek! Crazy I get to call him that!!) and I do not have many photos together that are worthy of framing, or even posting on socials for that matter. So going into this experience, I knew we needed someone that could make us feel comfy, capture who we actually are as a couple, and be able to organize all the behind the scenes aspects of our sessions. In walks Mia. Mia took care of quite literally every aspect of our sessions. We did an engagement and elopement session at Mt Ranier in November. She drove up several days BEFORE our scheduled shoot to scope out the area, take notes on open paths, gauge the sunrise and sunsets, prepare for the weather changes, etc etc. Literally all the things that we would never have thought of, she did. We had a Pinterest board of outfits and inspo, a packing list of items we most def did need, phone calls to get to know each other, a centralized location for anything related to our sessions, and most importantly: peace of mind. I cannot rant and rave about how flawless the process was leading up to our sessions with Mia. Then the day of, we could not have asked for a more intimate and perfect day. Mia was so sweet, boosting us as a couple but also stopping to fix my hair or helping us to get those perfect swoon-worthy shots with poses we wouldn't have thought to do. However, it truly felt like we were in our own little world and Mia was just a fly on the wall. I feel like the pictures truly encompass how we are as a couple, which is so rare and beautiful of a thing to capture. Just go to her website, all of her work speaks for itself. If you want to see our pictures, we are "Liz and Cameron". The moments she captured are being framed for our home and have been shared endlessly. They are absolutely timeless. We cannot wait to see Mia again to capture more of our lives together.

Dani was phenomenal to work with from the very beginning. Her communication and professionalism are top notch yet she made us feel super comfortable like we're old friends. My now husband & I had never had professional pictures done and we were really nervous for how our wedding photos would turn out naturally because of that and being naturally introverted. Dani got us comfortable at our engagement session and all of our photos from our engagement session to our wedding day turned out so amazing!! HIGHLY recommend to hire Dani!!

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.
