Our pre wedding meetings and engagement photo session really helped us get to know Jen, and she was so easy and friendly to work with. She got all of the photos we wanted with our large and disorganized family, worked well with our venue to keep the day flowing smoothly, and had such beautiful vision/direction for the photos. We trusted her vision completely and are so glad we stepped out for our sunset wedding shots with her! All in all an incredibly professional and exceptionally talented photographer.

Hailey Aitkins Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves South Prairie, 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
I can't recommend Hailey highly enough. She created such a comfortable, easy, and fun environment for us. She took our requests seriously and tailored the shoot to make us feel happy and confident. The photos were delivered to us very quickly after the shoot, and they turned out better than I could've ever expected. She is a master at capturing pure, genuine moments. Looking at them now stirs up so many emotions for us in the BEST way! Hailey is extremely kind, attentive, and skilled in her craft. I will never look anywhere else for a photographer!

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!

Jessica Uhler Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves South Prairie, WA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

From our first interaction, Ali proved to be an exceptional wedding photographer. Their communication style was friendly, timely, detail-oriented, and flexible - she was like a fly on the wall on our wedding day, capturing all the special moments we didn't even realize were happening. The quality of her work was seamless, with a documentary style that beautifully documented every aspect of our day. Ali traveled a long distance to be with us, and was thorough in ensuring we had every single picture we wanted and more. We were thrilled to receive gorgeous sneak peeks just days after our wedding. Ali went above and beyond to make our special day perfect, and we couldn't recommend her more highly.

I cannot recommend Drzazga photo enough. They photographed my engagement and wedding photos. I’ve never had professional photos done and Carly made me feel so comfortable during the whole process! Our photos were beautiful and you can tell we were having a good time taking them. I originally hired her for my wedding before the pandemic changed our plans. She went above and beyond during the rebooking and planning process. She even connected me to a pop up wedding service that allowed my husband and I to have a small intimate, but covid friendly, wedding in August. I’m beyond thankful for her and I can’t wait to work with her again this August!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves South Prairie, WA

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'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 editorial 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.

This has taken me a little while to get to writing as after wedding day life has been a little chaotic but wanted to express praise where it was well deserved. Holly exceeded my husband and I's expectations as our photographer on our wedding day. Not only was she extremely professional, but she was kind, personable and very helpful. The photos ended up coming out GORGEOUS! We just could not be happier with her and are definitely going to be recommending her to anyone seeking a photographer.

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!

There are seriously not enough words to describe how amazing The Mannix Company is!! Alli and Josh were recommended through a close friend who did her wedding and I seriously cannot thank her enough for recommending them. The moment I put an inquiry in, I immediately felt like I was Alli’s best friend when she reached out. Alli and Josh did our engagement photos as well and am seriously obsessed with them. I was so excited for our wedding day. On our wedding day, Alli made sure I was taken care of. She even helped me get into my dress because we were on a time crunch and that to me was a truly special moment I got to share with her. They both exceeded our expectations and cannot recommend them enough. We will be using them for all of our future photography shoots. Thank you so much The Mannix Company for making our day so special!

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.
