We had a WONDERFUL experience with Jennifer from our initial zoom meeting to our engagement photos to our wedding day! Her communication is top-notch and her tips and suggestions for everything from outfit and location choices for our engagement photos to wedding day timeline and suggested shot lists were so so helpful. My partner and I are not natural born models by any stretch of the imagination, but Jennifer made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured the vibe of our wedding perfectly, from the detail shots to the candid guest photos. It was really hard to choose which ones to include in this review because we had so many favorites! We can't recommend JL Thomas Photography enough to capture your wedding day. Also highly recommend adding in some film shots as well! You can tell how much time and energy Jennifer puts into her photography and we will treasure these photos forever.

Asking Zoe to photograph our wedding was one of the best wedding decisions we made! Zoe is an artist. We’ll treasure our photos for the rest of our lives. Zoe is definitely the person you want to spend your wedding day with (after your spouse, duh)! She has such a calm and cool demeanor and everyone loved working with her. Zoe will also do whatever it takes to get THE perfect shot. We chose a challenging venue, the Seattle Aquarium, with very specific lighting requirements to protect the sea life. Zoe went out of her way to scope out spots and test equipment before the big day. Zoe is so creative when it comes to lighting and all of our wedding guests have been gushing about how cool her photos are.

  • Serves Tacoma, 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.

It’s simple; I take beautiful images of people in love on film. We travel, we dream, we piece together your vision, and I photograph the way it felt! South/East Asian ceremonies and destinations are my specialty & great love!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah is incredible. We hired her for both our wedding and engagement shoots, and we couldn't be more pleased with her! She has an incredible eye for photography, an amazing work ethic, and a punctuality that is unmatched.. She was collaborative in our wedding plans and combined what we wanted with her experience; she supported our vision but provided direct feedback when she knew something we didn’t. She asked questions respectfully through our wedding day and engagement session to make sure we felt seen and cared for; she was 100% present through the entire process. Hiring her is like hiring a friend: she is kind, thoughtful, and invested in the relationship you create together. She is also very professional, diplomatic, and responsible. Ultimately, you can trust she’ll take the BEST care of you, which is exactly what we all need. And of course, her photos are top freaking notch. You won’t regret having Hannah photograph your special events!!!

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!

Hello, I'm Anthony Goins, a professional photographer with many years of experience capturing moments and memories that last a lifetime. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for creating beautiful images. I specialize in weddings, family portraiture and special events, and my goal is to give families the gift of memories that will bring smiles to your faces for years to come.

Working with Anthony and his wife was a wonderful experience. After looking at and talking with quite a few photographers, we selected them to photograph our wedding. Not only were their rates far lower than most other professionals, they were just that, absolute professionals! This photography team made our pictures so easy. They were open to all of our ideas for poses and locations that we wanted, and also suggested many that we hadn't thought of, but love seeing in our collection. They were careful to capture every aspect of our event, and were extremely friendly and easy to work with throughout. Anthony sent us our pictures in a couple of different formats to use for different purposes, and they turned out fabulously. We aren't just keeping the pictures for ourselves, we are sending many to friends and family that attended so they can see themselves through the wonderful lens of this photography team!

Tacoma, WA
  • Photojournalistic style

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!"

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.

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!

I would highly recommend Victory to any couple looking for a talented and communicative wedding photographer.

I'm a Seattle-based photographer who loves country music and getting to meet awesome new clients.

  • Serves Tacoma, 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.

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!

We’re a husband-wife duo that love an adventure that involves good views, better people, and some camera creativity thrown in there. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest we know how to appreciate and make the most out of any weather thrown our way. If you’re looking for lots of laughs and smiles, and of course the most poppin’, jaw droppin’ photos and video for that special day or honestly whatever - we’re your people!

We couldn’t have been happier with Elope & Be Wild! They were so fun, so attentive, and so flexible! They helped us visualize our day in the planning process and brought everything to life phenomenally. On such a crazy day, they help to make everything feel seem less and intentional. They constantly were reminding us to be in the moment which we needed since the day goes by so fast. You can tell they truly love what they do. Their love for each other and for marriage shows in their work. We’ve gotten a few sneak peaks back and we are obsessed! Cannot wait to see all of them. Thank you Elope & Be Wild!
