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'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.

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!!

Ashley is both professional and so incredibly friendly and wonderful to work with. She makes it easy to get gorgeous photos even if you are camera shy, and she is your number one cheerleader! She is truly there for you and your vision if you have one, but is also available to provide her own unique viewpoint, which gives you photos you didn't even know you wanted. It has been an absolute joy to have her do my wedding photos, engagements and to be a model for one of her styled shoots. I will continue to recommend her to everyone I know, and to hire her for my most special moments in life. Not to mention you get an incredible amount of stunning photos that are not overly edited- they are perfectly you. If you love story telling, intimate moments and the goofy in betweens, she is for you.

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Yelm, 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!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

Hiring Carly and Casey was one of our best wedding decisions. I could rave about their photos and videos, but their work speaks for itself. They managed to capture every detail of our wedding—location, small details, and most importantly the emotions of the day. Nothing was missed. BUT, when you hire Drzazga Photo, you’re hiring them for a lot more than just their amazing photos and videos-- Something I didn't realize was so important until the day of our wedding. Carly and Casey come prepared, organized, and with years of experience. They scoped out the venue prior to our arrival and knew exactly where we should go for family photos and bridal portraits based on the lighting and given timeline. This cut down on SO MUCH potential chaos. We decided to follow their advice on photo location, and definitely did not regret it. They know what they are doing. They are efficient and knew exactly what shots they wanted for both photos and video. There was minimal time spent on “posing” photos which allowed for so many more photos in our gallery and more time for us to enjoy our families. So, hire them, fully trust them, and you will NOT be disappointed.

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.

Dionne was able to capture the genuine and brief moments that made our wedding special. Not just of my husband and I but of all our guest and loved ones. The wedding cake is gone and the decorations have been taken down. But I can still relive that night anytime I want with the beautiful pictures captured by Dionne. I highly recommend her for any event!

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.

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.

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.

We were recommended to Jonathan by a friend and we were happy we selected him as our wedding photographer. In our video calls, he took time to get to know us and to learn what was important to us. We didnt want our wedding day to feel like a photo shoot and preferred a journalistic approach. Before the wedding, he provided a very helpful guide to prepare us for the big day. He was prompt in his email communications and we appreciated the attentiveness he gave us. During the wedding, he was good at being inconspicuous while taking photos. For most of the day, we didnt realize he and the second photographer were there! We gave him the nickname “Photo Ninja”! This allowed us to fully be in the moment and enjoy our wedding. Jonathan revealed the finished photos about a month after the wedding. We were very satisfied with them. There was a mix of group photos, journalistic photos of the ceremony/reception, still photos of decorations, and candid photos of the wedding party and guests. He did a great job of capturing the memories from the wedding. Overall, we are very pleased with Jonathans work. He was accommodating and flexible to fit our needs and budget. He was friendly and easy to talk to. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

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
If you want someone who will get excited about your creative vision and go out of their way to help make it happen, Skylar is your photographer! I had an idea to take some unique photos in a specific location, and she without question let me know she had experience in what I was looking for. On the day of our photoshoot, she went above and beyond to get the right shot and made us feel really comfortable getting our photos taken in public (which isn't easy to do!). Skylar really made our engagement photoshoot so memorable and special, I am so grateful to her for the care she put into our session. The photos turned out great too!

  • Serves Yelm, WA

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. 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.

My business was founded on a profound passion for capturing life's most cherished moments, my photography business thrives on blending the timeless allure of film photography with the dynamic needs of modern clients. My husband plays an integral role in this creative journey, offering invaluable support and inspiration, and he is my biggest advocate pushing me to pursue every next adventure to further my dream career. Together, we weave a visual narrative that celebrates each unique love story, turning fleeting moments into enduring memories.

Svanna Andrada Photography was absolutely on point in their communication and the quality of their work was amazing, beautiful, and outstanding. They were so amazing, making sure to keep us on track all day (even though that wasn't their job) and they went above and beyond getting pictures of everything and everyone we asked of. She even helped me take my shoes off when my feet were hurting too bad - they were hands down the best photographers we could have asked for. They were absolutely amazing, sweet, so professional, had amazing photo ideas, and got all of our photos to us plus more on time. They even sent us a beautiful momentous box with all of our pictures printed, a beautiful USB drive with all our photos, a discount on another shoot, and a few other things. I can't stress enough how grateful we are for them and how much they will completely blow you away. I can promise you won't regret hiring them for any of your photography needs.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

Hannah's ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera is a true gift. This was actually our second time working with her, as my sister had the pleasure of using Hannah for her wedding four years ago, and we knew right away we wanted her to capture ours, too. Her work is consistently stunning! We truly adore Hannah and are so grateful for the memories she has captured for our family.
