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.

They were incredible! I got an amazing deal for Black Friday (highly recommend if you can!) that came with two photographers and a videographer for 7 hours. They were really fun to work with, had creative vision on what our event was all about, and were professional. The consultation process was flexible and easy, they worked well with my day of coordinator and gave us the gift of images that will be with us forever.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with JL Thomas Photography! From our first meeting to the final delivery of our photos, they were nothing short of exceptional. Their professionalism, creativity, and passion for photography truly shine through in every shot. On the big day, Jennifer was a calming presence, she captured every moment without being intrusive. She has an incredible talent but knowing how to make you feel comfortable, beautiful and not camera shy. I am obsessed with our photos and I am an awe, the attention to detail is evident; from the candid shots of our guests enjoying themselves to the stunning portraits of us as a couple.

Jonathan Tung Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Bellevue, WA

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.

Jonathan is an amazing photographer who clearly shows his dedication and talent, and puts great care into his work! We were very fortunate to have found him shortly after our engagement in October 2023. His photography style and bold colors aligned with what we were looking for. Not only were we drawn to his work, but we loved his fun personality, his professionalism, and his kindness of wanting to know us! Jonathan asked about our story, got to know us as individuals and as a couple, and made sure to tell our story through our photos. He even went overtime to help us with our timeline! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the lens and calmed us when we felt we were not on schedule on the day of the wedding. We love our engagement photos and wedding photos. Highly recommend Jonathan as your photographer! We can’t thank him enough!

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Seattle, Washington. With over 5 years of shooting weddings in Southern California, I bring a creative, professional and relaxed approach to help treasure each moment on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have been in my share of weddings and know there are photographers who either miss moments or take cheesy pictures - Doug exceeded my hopes and expectations. He got all the shots I wanted and some really awesome candids. He was able to get shots of the important moments and used the space and the lighting to our advantage. He managed to get up close shots but somehow I never felt like a camera was in my face. On top of all that - he was extremely kind, attentive, and efficient. I highly recommend using Doug for your wedding!!!

Hey I'm Chelsea! I'm a wedding photographer based out of Seattle, Washington. I'm a super happy 35-year old who is head over heels in love with her job. Photography lets me combine all of my INFJ superpowers into one package, & it fills me with so much joy to share that with my clients. Beyond photography, I'm a total hippy at heart; I love all things nature, the moon, traveling, wildflowers, old creaky houses, thrift shopping, plants, hiking & horror movies.

Chelsea is the best! I had my wedding shot by her. She is a professional, fun, awesome photographer that makes you feel comfortable in front of the lens. Seriously one of the best parts about my wedding was the pictures that she captured! She made me feel like I was beautiful and she truly took my visions to life. Don’t settle for anyone else, go to Chelsea!!

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

Awarded Best of Zola
As newbies to the whole couple photography process, my husband and I were a bit nervous, but Will made the experience easy, fun, and inspiring for us! And most importantly, we loved how these photos turned out. The gallery they were delivered through was easy to use and share! Due to the COVID travel restrictions, many family and friends couldn’t join us. These photos helped capture the special moments and tell the story for us in a much more vivid way! Thanks again Will! xoxo

I am a PNW photographer and videographer who thrives to live a life filled with adventure, love, and lots of laughs. I center my work around adventure, authenticity, and true love.

Becky G Studios 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Bellevue, WA

California native, PNW resident, coffee drinker, dog scritcher, friend, forward-thinker, designer. I hate having my photo taken (go figure), my dog Boone makes me laugh every day, and I thrive off of honest, intentional conversations. I’ve worked as a photographer for over 8 years and I know that half the job is connecting with people and offering them an experience, not just a gallery. I believe you have to feel comfortable with the person behind the camera before you can let go and fully be yourself in front of it.

Becky has always been a delight to work with and a relief to know the events she's working with us on. She is always early for the parties and stays as late as needed to get all the best pictures. Her work is always stunning and very artistic, she has a great eye for finding and capturing new secret spots for pictures some of which we did not even know existed. She is very professional and we always hear from clients how much they enjoyed spending the day with her. I will frequently tell couples to make sure they like their vendors, especially their photographers, because if they don't, it will show on their faces, to no surprise Becky is a frequent vendor selection.

Joseph Tobiason

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Bellevue, WA

I believe that everyone is beautiful. Somewhere deep within you, there is a fire of light and joy. Not everyone’s light shines in the same way or with the same strength or even all the time. Stuff changes. People are different, but deep down, everyone is connected to the little bit of themselves that is truly theirs. I’m also all about being adventurous. That could mean we’re going to go climb a mountain or it might mean we’re going to try the really spicy chai tea. By experiencing life in the process of making photos, you’re going to be even more connected to the images because they will have stories that go along with them.

We cannot say enough good things about Joe! From the moment we met him, he blended seamlessly into the experience, capturing the most genuine and heartfelt moments of our elopement without ever forcing anything or making us feel like we were "posing." It felt like he was part of the natural flow of the day, which made the entire experience so comfortable and laid-back. Joe’s professionalism truly shone through. He worked around our unique timeline and even managed to photograph at two different locations without a hitch! We never felt pressured, rushed, or uncomfortable. He made the entire process smooth and enjoyable especially for us not being super comfortable in front of a camera. But the real magic happened when we received our photos. We were completely speechless! It felt like we were reliving every moment again—pinching ourselves that those incredible images were actually of us. Joe captured the essence of our love so beautifully, we couldn’t believe how perfect every shot was. We appreciate his thoughtfulness in the delivery of images with a special gift and keeping this secret off social media until we were ready to share. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a photographer who can turn your special moments into stunning memories. He has a rare gift of capturing love as it truly is. Thank you, Joe!

To be perfectly honest, I love what I do. I'm damn good at it. I have dabbled in all sorts of jobs but I kept coming back to the camera. It feels really good to take the craft that I love so much and share it. The scope of my photography is wide but I specialize in weddings and elopements. I've been photographing weddings since 2005. I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with. Having a phone or zoom chat or meeting in person is a good move!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the pleasure of working with Autumn on many weddings and events throughout the last few years and I would recommend her over and over again! I have seen her in action from a Venue perspective, a Planner perspective, and even a Bridesmaid perspective! Each of which was amazing. Autumn is the perfect balance of fun and "get the job done." She makes couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, snaps all of the right photos, and has a bright personality to make the day even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a great Photographer and all-around person, she's the gal for your day!

Hey! I’m Sarah Jane, your PNW-obsessed, puppy dog loving, stress-free photographer. 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. PLEASE INQUIRE THROUGH WEBSITE!

Awarded Best of Zola
Leaving you saying, ‘that’s so us’” - I had no clue this was Sarah Jane’s tagline until a week or so after our wedding, but in the meantime as I retold the story of our incredible wedding day to all of our friends and family I kept saying, “In the best, most quintessentially cheesy way possible, it was so us.” And it truly was, the location, the hiking around, the dogs, the camp cooked dinner, all of it was a perfect culmination of our lives together. Sarah Jane is a true gem. Her energy and positivity makes the wedding planning process fun. She is incredibly supportive and thoughtful when creating a wedding day that honors the couple and their vision. During our wedding day, she kept checking in on us to ensure we were doing okay and she was the ultimate hype woman to ensure we were having a good time and feeling good - she has a way of making a person feel SO GOOD about themselves. She did an incredible job curating a schedule for our day hitting each of our key activities and landscapes we wanted to have on our wedding day. Her skill and artistic vision is astonishing, the way she uses light and the natural landscapes to take beautiful pictures is astonishing and I will cherish our photos from that day for the rest of my life. Every fiber of your being will be grateful you booked her as your wedding photographer.

I don’t take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time. I spelI things how i want and I will never wait for a crosswalk. I prefer quality over quantity. Unless we’re talking about coffee, chocolate, wine, shopping, and deals…then i want quality and quantity. I’ve got a potty mouth and a good heart. I give so many fucks about what I do. The details, the experience and creating some real good imagery. I’m an artist and I want to create something beautiful for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Andria, we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. Her eye for detail and capturing images is truly exceptional. Her photos feel like velvety heirlooms that we treasure every time we look at them. Her knowledge and experience were invaluable on our wedding day, she was the ultimate MC and helped make our day flawless. While a constant professional, she still made sure everyone had fun and was comfortable in front of the camera. What started as our engagement and wedding photographer, continued with a boudoir shoot, two newborn shoots and two 1 year-old shoots (7 sessions!). We hope to have Andria involved in our family's future milestones, as long as she'll have us.

Welcome to Taira Marie Photography, we are excited that you have found us! Take your time browsing around to learn a little bit about us and our style. We are here for you if you have any questions and are looking forward to connecting with you!

Deciding on a wedding photographer is not an easy task because you know these are once-in-a-lifetime memories to be captured, but choosing and working with Taira Marie Photography was nothing short of extraordinary. We discovered their Instagram through our Wedding venue, as they had worked together on some events and photoshoots, and I was immediately drawn to the photography style. It was completely serendipitous to find out that they had our wedding date available and hit it off with their team on our first meeting. Our package came with an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to really get comfortable in front of the cameras, they turned out lovely and we realized how truly passionate Taira is about her job. The photography team worked with us to hit every "shot list" photo we wanted to get on our big day and captured the most beautiful details. Taira and Joey felt like family at our wedding and have been so good to us with their communication and professionalism. Our wedding album just arrived (hand-delivered too!) and it's amazing, I'll never forget how we felt that day because it's so wonderfully and thoroughly portrayed with their photography.

I am a Seattle wedding photographer and would be considered a "natural light photographer" - which basically means I want your photos to look as natural and real as possible! I have a degree in journalism which gives my photos an in the moment storytelling feel. Family portraits and those perfectly posed photos are some of the most important photos of the day, and we definitely do not forget to capture those as well as those gorgeous wide epic bride and groom portraits!

WOW!!! My husband and I were nervous about taking photos since we are not used to posing and be in front of the camera but Sydney made us feel soooo comfortable!! The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and I’m forever in awe of them.

I'm Allie - so stoked you are here. Few random fun facts about me: My incredible husband and I have been together for 13 years (eeek), and have three beautiful babies together. I never say no to a good latte. An exciting action movie, anything Marvel really, or an episode of Friends is usually on in the background somewhere on any given random evening, or when I’m editing – keeping me company! I love to travel- who doesn’t though? A good beach, delicious taco or anything with guac on top is usually my go to, and an icy cold drink sums up a top list vacation spot for me.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ll start with the most important thing: my husband hates taking pictures and hates hiring photographers. When we had our first engagement shoot with Allie, about 3 years ago, his mind was changed. Allie has a great personality, very upbeat, friendly, and professional. She did a great job posing us; it really doesn’t even look like we’re posing. Our wedding was the same and she brought her upbeat energy, got everyone (yes my big whole family) to look into the camera when taking family photos, delivered amazing portraits, and was a fly on the wall when things were happening. She is always watching the crowds for exciting things to happen and we saw this over and over again in our gallery. And— we’ve had several shoots with her since then, and we don’t plan to look for anyone else.
