sound & sea photography + films 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Mercer Island, WA

I’m Julie! I am so excited that you are interested in choosing sound and sea to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, someone organized and fun, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

Julie is amazing!! From the first meeting with her to the day of our elopement, she was friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. She captured our special moment perfectly and followed us to our two extra locations to get pictures. She provided direction to get the best shots and provided insightful recommendations to ensure the best possible photos. If you can get Julie as your photographer, DO IT!

Sound Originals Photo & Video

Sound Originals Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.

I thrive on seeking out those natural & heartfelt moments in your relationship, and I’m all for spontaneity, flexibility, and for you to just be yourselves. You are your own story and that is truly special, and it's an honor to have the opportunity to capture that for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had fun working with Shawn and we couldn't be happier with our photos! We didn't know what to expect, neither of us had ever done a photo shoot and Shawn was so patient, helped us think of shooting locations, and just the absolute BEST. He got to know us as a couple during the engagement session and captured moments special to us. We loved getting to know him as well during our time together, his love for people clearly shows in his approach and is what makes his work exceptional. Honestly working with him felt easy and enjoyable, and it’s hard to imagine anyone more suited for our wedding.

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 was was absolutely awesome to work with! She made my now husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and loved how natural the photos look! Emma was so organized and had great communication throughout so I never had to worry about anything along the way. I cannot wait for Emma to capture our life events going forward!

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 is an amazing photographer who clearly shows his dedication and talent, and puts great care into his work! We were very fortunate to have found him shortly after our engagement in October 2023. His photography style and bold colors aligned with what we were looking for. Not only were we drawn to his work, but we loved his fun personality, his professionalism, and his kindness of wanting to know us! Jonathan asked about our story, got to know us as individuals and as a couple, and made sure to tell our story through our photos. He even went overtime to help us with our timeline! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the lens and calmed us when we felt we were not on schedule on the day of the wedding. We love our engagement photos and wedding photos. Highly recommend Jonathan as your photographer! We can’t thank him enough!

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

Lindsey is amazing! We worked with her for our engagement photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier. She listened to all our wish list items for location and came up with several ideas. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoot since we had never gotten professional photos before. Plus - our location was pretty far away from Seattle and we had a blast getting to know each other in the car ride to and from the location. Highly recommended!

Awarded Best of Zola
Douglas was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on 08/17/24. Our original wedding photographer cancelled two weeks before our wedding, and a friend recommended we reach out to Doug. He was thankfully available and from the moment we reached out, he was so easy to communicate with - always quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and so easy-going. His work has been absolutely beautiful, he has an amazing understanding of light, composition, and framing with a lot of experience working with outdoor conditions that truly captured the essence of our special day. Doug fit right in with our wedding - he showed up early, stayed late, and somehow (while just following the standard schedule of the day) managed to get the most incredible true lighting and color in *all* of our photos - everything feels exactly like the day itself felt. We couldn't be happier with the results and would without a doubt recommend Douglas R Hall Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Hey I'm Chelsea! I'm a wedding photographer based out of Seattle, Washington. I'm a super happy 32-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.

Chelsea was our wedding photographer, and we loved working with her! We both typically feel a little awkward having our photos taken, but Chelsea really made us feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. She really is a calming presence, and is just super friendly and fun to hang out with. We were so impressed with how our wedding photos turned out, as were all of our friends and family--in addition to getting great portraits of us, she captured so many fun moments from the wedding. We'd recommend working with Chelsea in a heartbeat!

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!

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!

We reached out to Will at very short notice to photograph our impromptu Covid-19-impacted outdoor wedding. We got an almost immediate response. He was very cheerful and professional, and enjoyable to have around at the wedding ceremony. We were extremely happy with the results, too. Will managed to capture many sweet moments and details during our celebration, and the quality of the pictures was great. If we got married a second time, we would gladly hire him again!

Alanna was a joy to work with! She was great at communicating in the months and weeks leading up to my clients' wedding, and made sure we were both on the same page. She was punctual on the wedding day and did an amazing job of sticking with the schedule and getting everyone photographed in the allotted time. She was also friendly, fun, and had a sense of calm (which is essential for any wedding professional!). She had the complete photo gallery ready just a few days after the wedding, and her photos were beautiful. I'd be delighted to work with Alanna again!

Joseph Tobiason

  • Serves Mercer Island, WA

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 cannot say enough good things about Joe! From the moment we met him, he blended seamlessly into the experience, capturing the most genuine and heartfelt moments of our elopement without ever forcing anything or making us feel like we were "posing." It felt like he was part of the natural flow of the day, which made the entire experience so comfortable and laid-back. Joe’s professionalism truly shone through. He worked around our unique timeline and even managed to photograph at two different locations without a hitch! We never felt pressured, rushed, or uncomfortable. He made the entire process smooth and enjoyable especially for us not being super comfortable in front of a camera. But the real magic happened when we received our photos. We were completely speechless! It felt like we were reliving every moment again—pinching ourselves that those incredible images were actually of us. Joe captured the essence of our love so beautifully, we couldn’t believe how perfect every shot was. We appreciate his thoughtfulness in the delivery of images with a special gift and keeping this secret off social media until we were ready to share. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a photographer who can turn your special moments into stunning memories. He has a rare gift of capturing love as it truly is. Thank you, Joe!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Autumn photographed our wedding and absolutely knocked it out of the park! We're so thrilled with how the photos turned out. Autumn captured so much of the fun, emotion and positive energy of our day and we couldn't be happier with the results. Beyond being a talented photographer and artist, Autumn is also both professional and fun--a true delight to work with. She always communicated clearly and timely. She helped us (a couple of self-proclaimed awkward introverts) feel comfortable in front of the camera. And her joyful enthusiasm added to the happy energy of our wedding celebration. We loved working with Autumn and highly recommend her!

The Lovers Wild

  • Serves Mercer Island, WA

My clients are a little different, as they tend to stray away from the norm and make their own rules. They love the details, but care more so about making memories on the first day of their marriage. The wedding day timeline is full of things important to them, not what society says they should have. Their love is a celebration of emotional connections with friends and family, wiping away tears when the moment gets the best of them, and dancing their asses off with no care as to who sees. So, if you connect with all this, then I am definitely your kind of photographer. LOVE = LOVE, all are welcome here!

Awarded Best of Zola
As an event planner in the industry, I have had the opportunity to work with countless photographers. Erin and her team surely stand out amongst other vendors when it comes to going above and beyond for the client in order to capture beautiful, artistic work. She captures all the perfect moments in a timeless, candid not forced manner. I love collaborating with her and her team and always look forward to working together in the future as I know she is so lovely to work with on site and produces great results.

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
From the moment we met Andria, we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. Her eye for detail and capturing images is truly exceptional. Her photos feel like velvety heirlooms that we treasure every time we look at them. Her knowledge and experience were invaluable on our wedding day, she was the ultimate MC and helped make our day flawless. While a constant professional, she still made sure everyone had fun and was comfortable in front of the camera. What started as our engagement and wedding photographer, continued with a boudoir shoot, two newborn shoots and two 1 year-old shoots (7 sessions!). We hope to have Andria involved in our family's future milestones, as long as she'll have us.

  • Serves Mercer Island, 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.

Deciding on a wedding photographer is not an easy task because you know these are once-in-a-lifetime memories to be captured, but choosing and working with Taira Marie Photography was nothing short of extraordinary. We discovered their Instagram through our Wedding venue, as they had worked together on some events and photoshoots, and I was immediately drawn to the photography style. It was completely serendipitous to find out that they had our wedding date available and hit it off with their team on our first meeting. Our package came with an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to really get comfortable in front of the cameras, they turned out lovely and we realized how truly passionate Taira is about her job. The photography team worked with us to hit every "shot list" photo we wanted to get on our big day and captured the most beautiful details. Taira and Joey felt like family at our wedding and have been so good to us with their communication and professionalism.

I'm Allie - so stoked you are here. Few random fun facts about me: My incredible husband and I have been together for 13 years (eeek), and have three beautiful babies together. I never say no to a good latte. An exciting action movie, anything Marvel really, or an episode of Friends is usually on in the background somewhere on any given random evening, or when I’m editing – keeping me company! I love to travel- who doesn’t though? A good beach, delicious taco or anything with guac on top is usually my go to, and an icy cold drink sums up a top list vacation spot for me.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ll start with the most important thing: my husband hates taking pictures and hates hiring photographers. When we had our first engagement shoot with Allie, about 3 years ago, his mind was changed. Allie has a great personality, very upbeat, friendly, and professional. She did a great job posing us; it really doesn’t even look like we’re posing. Our wedding was the same and she brought her upbeat energy, got everyone (yes my big whole family) to look into the camera when taking family photos, delivered amazing portraits, and was a fly on the wall when things were happening. She is always watching the crowds for exciting things to happen and we saw this over and over again in our gallery. And— we’ve had several shoots with her since then, and we don’t plan to look for anyone else.

I love capturing and connecting with people, creating memories on camera for people to keep forever.

Kailee was the best choice for our wedding photographer. Her high energy and ability to direct people is top notch. She is passionate and listened to our hopes for the wedding. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and had us laughing all day!

Emily Paris Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Mercer Island, WA

I’m Emily, and I’m a photographer who loves the outdoors, bright colors, and creating photos that capture your authentic self. My style is colorful and candid, almost photojournalistic at times. I’ll capture the standard portraits for your extended family to put on their fridge, of course, but I also try to create photos that show what it really felt like to be there – the bright smiles, the tears, the dancing.

Emily was phenomenal to work with - she is friendly, thoughtful, and talented! She took time to chat with us in advance of the day to make sure that her approach to photography was exactly what we were looking for and to ensure she captured some of the key shots we really wanted. Emily's work reflects the authenticity of the beauty of our wedding without a bunch of overediting I've seen from other photographers. I would highly recommend her for capturing a family and joy focused album, especially if you have an outdoor component to your wedding!

Chelsea Abril Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Mercer Island, WA

Candid, vivacious photography for life's best moments. Destination wedding and intimate elopement photographer based in Seattle and serving the Hawaiian Islands (Hawaii/Big Island, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai), the West Coast, and abroad.

Like the procrastinator I am, I totally dropped the ball and did not even start to find a wedding photographer until way too late. Luckily, Chelsea fell from the heavens and not only had our wedding date available but was also prepared to do an initial meeting with us the same day we reached out (on New Years Eve no less). What else can I say about Chelsea other than that she is FANTASTIC. We were having a small, COVID friendly wedding that I was planning myself and she offered us so many fun ideas that brought our wedding to the next level. Have you ever been to a wedding where every single guest commented on how great the photographer was? It was like she was part of the family, and honestly, I didn’t even care what the photos looked like because she was just incredible to have around. The photos of course though, were gorgeous. Chelsea is so talented, and she completely captured the light, beachy aesthetic that we were going for. If I ever need a photographer in the future, she will be my first call – and she should be yours too!!
