Christina Houn Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Shelton, WA

Hi! I’m so happy you’re here! I’m Christina and I’m an elopement and wedding photographer based in Olympia, Washington. I’ve been doing photography for over 10 years, but have been in business since 2017. I’ve been so lucky to have captured so many amazing memories for my clients and are willing to travel anywhere to document and capture your love story!

We worked with Christina to photograph our wedding and we had a wonderful experience! Her package included engagement photos (you can see a few here) and that was a perk for us, especially because she was totally fine with us bringing along our dog Ella. Overall, Christina was really easy to communicate with, she was fun to work with, easygoing and made us feel at ease. Her prices were also reasonable. We haven't gotten back our wedding photos yet, but based on the engagement photos, we have no doubt they will be fantastic! All in all, Christina was very professional and we were very pleased to have her as our wedding photographer. Definitely would recommend her if you are looking for a great photographer!

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.

Hello there! ! I’m Jen Lee, a wedding photographer in Seattle for over 8 years, I consider it an honor and privilege to be entrusted with documenting the most significant chapters in a couple's life. In my early years as a Creative Portrait Director shooting professional models and full editorials, I immersed myself in the world of visual storytelling. Creating these captivating narratives allowed me to move into the real world of weddings. With an innate sense of empathy and a meticulous attention to detail, I strive to create an atmosphere of ease and comfort with my professional knowledge in lighting, posing, and story telling.

From the moment we booked JL Thomas Photography, Jennifer was a dream to work with. Her communication was crystal clear, informative, fun, and friendly throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Jennifer not only prioritized our list of photos, but helped enforce our timeline and herd our guests when they didn't want to be where we needed them. She was a true stress reducer on my wedding day. The quality of her work is exceptional, exceeding our expectations in every way. In all honesty, I always get nervous when other people take pictures of me, thanks to different camera angles and a fluctuating body weight. I was terrified that I would see myself in photos of the most beautiful day of my life, and see myself as less than… but let me tell you, I have never felt more confident in sharing pictures than the ones we received. Jennifer’s tips on posing, feedback in the moment, and constant reassurance built my confidence, and it showed. The sneak peeks we received were absolutely beautiful, and we can’t wait to see the rest. The value of Jennifer's services is incredible - honestly, I think she should charge more, even though I’m glad her packages were within our budget. She felt like a true friend to us, and I cannot recommend her enough. I brag about how amazing she is every time I talk about our wedding - which is a lot. We are so glad we chose her, not only to capture our special day, but to be part of it as well.

I was born and raised in Mesa, AZ but took my business full time when my family moved to Olympia, WA in 2021. Since then I have been diving in. I am an experienced & confident documentary/cinematic style photographer and LOVE what I do. Truly getting to know you and tell your unique love story is my passion. I can't wait to meet you!!

I’m also a wedding photographer, and I’ve hired Ashley to work alongside me several times, and she’s hired me to assist her as well. She is my absolute favorite person to work with! Not only is she talented and her pictures are amazing, but she is the sweetest and kindest and everyone enjoys her company. She pays attention to every detail and is very thorough. She’s organized and a great leader. Her pictures are always perfect when it comes to the angles, poses/direction and edits. I’ve never met someone as creative as her, I envy her creativity. She’s great at thinking on the spot and problem solving when needed. I fully trust her to get whatever task I’ve assigned to her done. I usually don’t trust other photographers to get what I need without having to step in myself and shoot backups, but with her I have full confidence and I don’t stress about needing to get the shot myself. I’ve hired her for my own pictures and they always are stunning and received in a timely manner. I love that she includes so many pictures and offers them in her edit and black and white. I could go on for days about how wonderful Ashley is, but I hope you take my word and hire her because you will not be disappointed. She truly is the best and is a natural when it comes to photography and planning!

Emett Joseph Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Shelton, WA

Hey there! My name is Emett and I've been a wedding photographer for over 5 years now. There's nothing better than delivering a couple their dream wedding gallery and knowing they had an amazing experience, too!

Choosing Emett to photograph our intimate, destination wedding was the best choice we could've made! We spent a long time searching for a photographer that matched our style, was easy to get along with, and was LGBTQ friendly. Finding his website and talking with him during our consultation really sealed the deal for us. His laid back, comfortable, and easy to get along with vibe was everything we were looking for. As a queer couple, it was really important to us to have a photographer who did not try to pose us in traditional "masculine/feminine" poses, and captured the intimate, candid moments of our day. Emett did just that, and somehow more than we ever expected. Not only did we have the best photographer ever, we also felt like we made a friend in the process. Since our wedding was such a small event, but a special one, we did most of the planning and decorations ourselves. Emett was super helpful and always available to help with creating timelines, picking locations, and finding vendors that worked for us. He stuck with us after changing our minds a million times and made us feel so confident that our wedding was going to be perfect. During our engagement photos, we knew that we made the right choice! Taking photos with Emett was so comfortable, easy, and fun! I remember thinking that this was the first time that I had photos taken where I wasn't even thinking about what I looked like. On our wedding day, Emett helped us make sure our day ran smoothly, and helped us navigate insane wind to make sure that we got all of our shotlist, and he was there capturing all of the candid moments and important shots that we wanted. The whole day, he was there to hype us up, and made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. Looking back at our gallery, we could not be happier with the photos we have. We are so grateful for the most beautiful photos to remember the best days of our lives. We could not recommend anyone more than Emett to capture your perfect day!

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!

️️️️️ Choosing Drzazga Photo for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made while planning. Since getting our gallery back, we are still getting compliments on how gorgeous and unique our photos turned out. When we met Carly during our engagement session we knew right away that she and Kasey would make us feel comfortable and would be the perfect pair to capture such an important day in our lives. We loved our engagement pictures so much we used them for everything (bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations and thank you cards). I think we looked at them all 1,000 times. They captured our love for each other and excitement so perfectly. Our wedding gallery was like looking at pictures from a fairytale. Our getting ready pictures, portraits, ceremony and reception photos are beautiful. They captured gorgeous pictures of us, but also of our family and friends whom we shared such an important day with. I love thinking about how someday these pictures will be shared with our own children, grandchildren and family. Weeks after our wedding we decided to become puppy parents to an adorable Cavapoo named Teddy. The Drzazga’s have captured such sweet moments of our love story this year. We couldn’t think of a better way to end it than a trip to Cleveland in November for a holiday mini session at their studio, with of course the newest addition to our family, Teddy. Thank you Carly and Kasey for capturing all of the sweet moments of this amazing year. You are truly the best of the best. Love, The Rishers

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 + intimate weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people in love 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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 am a firm believer that friendship comes from learning the weird and quirky about a person, and still wanting to hang out with them after. And, since you will literally spend more time with your photographer than most anyone else on your wedding day, I want to be friends. We NEED to be friends. Like, I’ll-probably-end-up-holding-your-dress-up-while-you-pee type friends. That’s practically BFF status. I’m not only in the business of capturing your epically rad and emotional moments, I am also in the business of making lasting friendships, both of which I’m really awesome at.

D (Dionne) was our wedding and engagement photographer. We booked her based on strong recommendations from two of our other friends. We're very pleased and we feel great about supporting her. She's professional and fun but most importantly does top-notch, quality work. She's also up for whatever dramatic schemes you've cooked up for the shoot or she can even recommend some of her own given her own experiences and creativity! 5 stars

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

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 and her team are absolutely amazing. The planning, the day of, and our photos all turned out absolutely perfect. I will be recommending her again and again.

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!

Definitely one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. We had Ann Marie do our engagement photos and we loved her from the start and loved how they came out. We were devastated when we found out she was already booked for our wedding date, but she got us set up with one of her associates Elena at a discounted rate. Even though she wasn't going to be there on our big day she still put in so much effort to help us decide the timeline and the shot list. She kept in contact with us the whole time and really made us feel confident about the big day. She will still be doing the editing in her style and we are absolutely thrilled with the sneak peek shots we've gotten so far! She even threw in an extra photographer for us for free which was incredibly kind of her, although unfortunately that photographer was sick on the day of the wedding so we still ended up with just one. But Elena was great and made us feel totally at ease and got every shot on the list. She kept everything running on time despite the timeline having been created for two photographers. Ann Marie and Elena were a dream team to work with and I can't say enough good things about them.

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.

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about how happy we are with Skylar...my partner and I agreed hiring her was the best money we spent on our wedding. Photos mean so much to us, and I couldn't be happier that we trusted her for our wedding and engagement photos. She is communicative, friendly, responsive, and punctual. She has amazing instincts and did an incredible job of making us feel relaxed on both of our shoot days. She captures a perfect balance of staged and candid photos with perfect composition. Sneak peeks were provided for our photos and the full libraries were delivered on time in an easy to access format. I appreciated the surveys she sends out to get to know you better before shooting. I genuinely could keep going and going! We chose Skylar because of her offered packages and photographic style and it was absolutely one of the best choices we made throughout the entire process. She is the first recommendation I will give to friends and family; we have received so many compliments on the gorgeous pictures. I am so happy that the precious, priceless memories of our wedding day are captured in such beauty forever! Thank you!!!!!!

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.
