My heart beats for photographing a story worth telling, and finding the funny, quirky, moving little moments throughout that narrative. I always have a smile on my face and love, absolutely love to make people laugh. I can recite funny quotes and sing to you the cheesiest of songs. As cheesy as it may sound, I want to be your friend. I want to laugh throughout the whole day with you, making every moment so memorable and being right by your side to capture it. I want to keep in touch with you after, to see where life takes you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Andrea was really wonderful to work with. We met her through a friend of ours that had their photos done and had really wonderful things to say about her. She did our engagement photos and wedding. We were both really nervous about getting in front of the camera, but Andrea had us laughing the whole time and we even brought our dogs with us. We couldn't be happier with all the photos we got back, she truly captured every moment and her view on everything was really beautiful. I would highly recommend working with Andrea.

The most consistent feedback I get from my couples is that I put them at ease. Almost everyone is uncomfortable in front of the camera, but that’s why I’m there — to help you look and feel great creating memories. Your wedding photographer is in your personal space on one of the most emotional days of your life - make sure the person in your corner is someone who adds to the joy on your day. With me, you get someone who can go with the flow, has your back, and seamlessly adapts to the energy in the room.

  • Serves Yelm, WA

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives. Can’t recommend Jarrod enough - thanks for everything 11/10 !!!

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jasmine is incredible, which there isn’t quite a word adequate to describe her. She is fun, personable, and a bride’s champion. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and she captured the vision I wanted. But, she was also the perfect hype woman and stood up for what I wanted. There’s truly no words to describe and express how glad I was to have her as my photographer.

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

If you need an elopement photographer drop everything and book Marla right now!! We changed our wedding last minute from Hawaii to Vashon Island WA and Marla was the only photographer whose work grabbed my attention! We had a great first call and I could not have asked for a better photographer. Marla was amazing in getting all the photos I asked for traveling with us and doing a first look on the ferry. She helped keep me calm and made the day feel just about Adam and I. She captured the joy we felt throughout the day and brought so much fun to our photos! I have had more people compliment me on our photos than i thought possible. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARLA!!

Hi there! The name’s Ali. But I also go by: you’re cheerleader, hopeless romantic, and your bestie throughout the wedding process. I am a Colorado raised-and-based photographer, serving couples in Boulder County, Denver Metro and beyond. Nothing gets my heart pumping like documenting memories. I live for freezing all the firsts. The first look. First kiss. First dance. But more importantly, I want to capture how you felt. I don’t want to just take nice photos. I want to build you a time capsule, so when you look back at your wedding photos years down the line you can remember every laugh, tear and kiss.

We are blown away by our photos! Ali is so amazing to work with we got everything we wanted on our special day! She always made sure to check in with us and especially me the bride and I appreciated that because wedding days can be so crazy! The meeting we had with her really helped her figure us out as a couple and what we were comfortable with. She had great direction when we felt awkward posing but she would make us feel comfortable to let go and really take in the moment. We noticed her talents through yellow paddle photography and through them I was able to pick out who fit best as well as style in photography and we are so happy to have found her. We wanted some different styles for our wedding shoot so we asked for different lens such as the kaleidoscope effect and others and those are our favorite ones! Thank you soo much Ali you’re the best!! Book her like yesterday!

Every individual has a unique tale, and mine is quite the whirlwind! When I was 5, my family left our Michigan home and has been on the move ever since. After living across the globe, I now proudly call Oregon my home sweet home with my wonderful husband, our sweet daughter, and our White German Shepherd! My journey toward becoming a wedding photographer is fueled by my romantic spirit, hope for deep connections, and wandering the world in pursuit of love. The idea of spreading love near and far, and passing on that love through generations puts a smile on my face every day.

We were so happy to find Janane when we decided to take engagement photos. Being new residents of Portland, OR, Janane was able to give us a bunch of great recommendations. It was also dead set in the middle of winter (Dec/Jan) in Portland, but she didn't deter us from taking engagement photos. Luckily, we ended up with one of the few days and time of the day when there was actual sunshine and no rain! The photos came out amazing. Janane gave us a bunch of pointers and tips to prepare. But she's respectful and made sure you're comfortable with the shoot. It was a fun hour with Janane! She has a great eye for photography. Outside of the photoshoot, Janane was responsive and communicative. We got our photos by the promise date. We would recommend Janane for anyone looking for an engagement or wedding photographer.

There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail. Hi! My name is Anna– I am an elopement and wedding photographer helping adventurous couples say “I do” on their own terms from coast to coast.

Anna is so sweet, caring, and a great communicator. As a wedding planner, it was great to work with her and she captured the beauty of the venue so well. The portraits and couple photos are stunning. Would definitely recommend her!

I am so glad you found your way here! My name is Steph (it's lovely to meet you!). I was born and raised overseas in Sri Lanka and moved to the beautiful PNW for college and decided to stay. The world and the people in it are too beautiful not to be art - so here we are creating art out of the beautiful moments you and your lives bring into being. Besides taking photos, I am a big fan of milk tea, hedgehogs, my kid and husband, sleeping in, summer, curry, and friends to share it with. I would love to hear more about you and your story and how I can help document some of your beautiful moments!

Choosing Steph as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day! Steph was a true professional and a joy to work with. Steph made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, which really showed in the natural and candid shots she captured. The quality of the photos we received was exceptional. Moreover, Steph's professionalism and organization were spot on. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors and coordinated well to ensure that every important moment was captured without any stress or hassle on our part. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our wedding photos and our experience with Steph. She not only captured memories that we will cherish forever, but she also added to the joy of our wedding day. We highly recommend Steph to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and delightful photographer to capture their special day.

A wedding and engagement photographer but so much more than just that. I’m a friend, daughter, sister, momma to my beautiful baby girl Scarlette Rose, wife to one incredible hunk of a man, fur mom to one ADORABLE little Chihuahua, Pug, Great Pyrenees, and two ducks named Harold and Mushu (I WOULD DIE FOR THEM). I’m a hiker, lover of giddy laughs because your body can’t contain all the joy you’re experiencing, lover of love, meditation lover, crystal lover, people lover, tattoo lover, and most importantly…lover of personal growth and learning from this big classroom we call life! Without all these labels?

If you're wondering if you should hire Ally as your wedding photographer the answer is yes, a hundred times yes! We cannot compliment her, or the pictures she takes and edits, enough. She worked with us to re-plan our entire wedding when COVID hit. We changed the number of people from 150 to 10. We changed locations...multiple times! Ally was supportive the entire time. On the day of our wedding, there were multiple road closures and I called her saying I understood if she couldn't make it, but she assured me she would be there. She's the best friend and photographer you never knew you needed. Ally literally drove down a sketchy dirt road, adding drive time and nuisance to her trip, just to get to us to shoot our special day. When I say we cannot compliment her enough, I mean it. She made our dreams come true, and she made posing for pictures the most comfortable thing in the world. She's easy-going, kind, communicative, funny, and makes you feel so beautiful and natural in front of the camera. She really is the full package. I cannot wait to get her pictures printed to hang in our home forever!

I was just looking through our wedding book and all I could do was smile. She got so many great photos of our day, our guests, all the details- it was so fun to look back and relive it! She is incredibly easygoing, fun, and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I would use her services again in a heartbeat! She has a true eye for amazing photos

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 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!

Jason Snorlax Photography

  • Serves Yelm, WA

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Hi, I'm Victory! I'm a professional photographer based in University Place, Washington. I've been behind the camera for over 8 years and captured countless stories.

Hi, I'm Madi! I'm the owner and lead photographer for Essence of Us Photography. I've always loved photography, but being able to combine art with the opportunity to tell real love stories is an absolute dream job. I specialize in both weddings and elopements/micro weddings, which means my job never looks the same from one day to the next. One day, I might capture an elopement in Mt. Rainier National Park and the next, I'm inside an industrial-chic venue in Pioneer Square. My job is always exciting and I wouldn't change a thing about it!

I’ve worked with Madi more than once, with her as the photographer at weddings I’ve officiated. She is SO fun and gets even her most anxious couples to relax. She’s super easy to talk to with always friendly and prompt communication. Her work is absolutely gorgeous, even in challenging settings where there are unwanted objects (or people) potentially ruining the background of a photo. {in the photos I’m sharing, there were kids behind us playing in the creek AND a bunch of people the other direction on the beach at the lake!} She is up for an adventure, which makes her perfect for elopements in places like forests, beaches, etc. She’s able to capture both the intimacy of the moment and the grandeur of the landscape at the same time. HIGHLY recommend!!

After 5 years working in the music industry managing bands, organizing large-scale festivals, spending time on staff at a radio station, and being the lead singer & guitarist in a band, I knew I wanted to be involved in the magic of coordinating a moment. Juuust with wedding music playing in the background. ;) Now I’m completely in love with capturing special moments at weddings and engagement sessions for couples in Washington & Oregon.

Sarah is hands down one of the kindest most thoughtful people I’ve ever had the joy to work with. She also has this CRAZY amount of energy. She’s always thinking of how she can make everyone’s experience better weather they’re the bride, the videographer she’s working with or the other vendors that I saw her working so effortlessly with. If you’re a couple that books Sarah, be ready to have someone who genuinely will do anything in her power to make your day special and captured in such a pure way. We love Sarah. 10/10

I was raised in the Pacific Northwest and have lived here for basically my whole life. I fell in love with photography and it’s ability to make time stand still. It has allowed me to meet so many new people and discover so many new places that it has truly become my dream job. I have two littles, and two doggos, and a wonderful and supportive husband. I have made the Seattle area my home for over 10 years now. My passion other than family and photography, is traveling. I want to see everything this world has to show me.

Samantha is an incredible photographer! I've hired her to be my second photographer at weddings twice, and a third time to assist me when I had a wedding in my third trimester. She works cohesively with my team, is super supportive, dependable, always on time, and genuinely cares for both myself and our couples and ensures that the day runs smoothly and that the couple has the best possible wedding day. Highly recommend her!

I'm not here for insta-worthy moments. I'm going to capture the wind in your hair and sand on your feet. I will photograph you dancing in the pouring rain and laughing at the cake you just smashed in your partner's face. Life is messy and beautiful, joyful and sentimental. I don't believe in perfection, but I do believe in perfect for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kansla Photography (Natalie) was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the start, her communication was fast, flexible, and highly effective, making the planning process a breeze. The quality of her work was exceptional - they captured the day with a confident, special touch that left us feeling so grateful. Natalie went above and beyond to help coordinate our small wedding party right before the ceremony, and she was incredibly patient and kind with both sides of our somewhat chaotic family members and groups! Throughout the entire planning process, Natalie was a true partner, listening to our needs and making sure my fiance and I were the top priority. We couldn't recommend her more highly for any couple looking for a talented, personable photography team to bring their wedding vision to life. Lastly, Natalie has extremely competitive prices for the wedding industry. Not only did she travel across the entire country for our big day, her travel pricing was more competitive than anyone I could find locally in Seattle and the quality of her work was even higher than the local options I found.

Hi! I'm Lauren, but you can call me Ren. It's so great to meet you! I've had the privilege of photographing love and connection for the past six years, and I still smile when I tell people that this is my job—because it’s never felt like one. Being invited into such intimate and vulnerable moments is something I don't take lightly. I’m not just here to take pretty photos; any photographer can do that. I want to create an experience that genuinely reflects your love story and helps you remember what it felt like to love deeply in this moment, right now.

Awarded Best of Zola
I fell in love with Ren's photography style when I came across her portfolio on another site over a year ago. Ren was our photographer for both our engagement and elopement. She is incredibly technically skilled and professional with her art as a photographer. Neither of us are flashy people. We wanted a low key wedding, and we knew we did not want to compromise on our photos–because we knew and still know our photos will be forever held onto. As a bride, it's easy to become stressed about the small details, but her responsiveness and communication alleviated my anxiety; I was assured our photos would be a greater reflection–a memento–of our story as a couple. She also made us feel very comfortable as the subjects of her photos, which allowed us to be more natural in front of a camera. On the day of our vows, she went above our requests–truly; it would be cliche to say she went above and beyond but she truly did. We had no doubts or fear that our photos would turn out beautifully–and we were right. We will be forever thankful for the personal care and time of Ren. Thank you so much for offering us with these mementos we will forever hold onto on our way through and into our older age.

Based in the PNW, I'm a seasoned photographer with 17+ years crafting love stories through weddings and portraits. Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do." Immerse yourself in the art of storytelling through my lens, turning your wedding day dreams into timeless memories.

I booked Joie because of her beautiful images but when we started to see images of her creations with flatlays on her Instagram, we couldn't wait for our wedding day! She asked me to gather the details I would need for the day prior to the wedding day and my bridesmaids and I were so impressed by her when she showed up with her little kit and just got to working. I love love love love (too many loves to count) my wedding photos and I can't help but think that I was so lucky when I snatched her as my photographer! Joie was such a pleasure to work with from our engagements to the helping us with timeline building and giving us ideas for what to plan for and of course our wedding day! I can't express in words how grateful I am to have had her hold my hand through the process.
