I had the pleasure to work with Allison for not 1 but 2 weddings this year. She was such a pleasure to work with I can not express enough how great she did. She is very professional and so kind hearted. She goes above and beyond not only to make her couples feel comfortable and relaxed but she also goes the extra mile to offer the lending hand to the vendors she is working with.

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.

Your wedding is about you and all the amazing people there to celebrate. While I can take some Instagram-worthy portraits, I spend the majority of my time at weddings capturing all the little moments going on throughout the busy day.

Bright and colorful wedding photographer based in Chicago and Seattle but available to capture the nostalgia of your wedding day no matter where you live. I'm passionate about your story, personality, and vision.

I cannot express enough how thrilled my wife Leslie and I are with the engagement photos taken by our incredible photographer Laura Waldron. From the moment we started our photo shoot it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional. Laura’s attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture our love and happiness in every shot exceeded all our expectations. The entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. Laura made us feel comfortable and guided us effortlessly through each pose and location. She knew the best spots in Chicago to highlight our personalities and story, resulting in a collection of photos that are nothing short of breathtaking. The quality of the photos is outstanding, with each image edited to perfection. Our friends and family have been raving about them, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Several of our friends even asked for Laura’s contact information for future events they wanted captured by a professional. For anyone considering a photographer for their engagement, wedding, or any special occasion, we highly recommend Laura as we will be using her again for further family events. We are so grateful for the memories Laura captured for us and will cherish these photos forever.

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.

Marla is a light of sunshine and would be an awesome pick for your photographer. She is creative and really makes sure she is getting the best shot for your day! Totally recommend!!!!

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

My filmmaking journey has taken me all over the world, from Japan to Iceland, creating a wide variety of promo videos, real estate walkthroughs, graduation stories, and short documentaries. However, my true passion has always resided in capturing love stories. For the last seven years I’ve focused all my passion on capturing the unique and intimate moments on wedding days.

We loved working with Larissa on our wedding day! From the beginning to the end of the night she was right there to help me. She even stepped in when I was struggling with my bustle to lend a hand so we could go get our photos and video done after the ceremony. Larissa is a very talented videographer and she really helped make our wedding day one to remember. I couldn't have done it without her! And every time we reach out for other services, like photos or video of our family, we're thrilled with the results! I'd book her photo and video services if we ever do a vow renewal in the future, and I recommend her to every couple I know.

We loved having her be such a big part of our special day.

Hey Franz, Sarah here! I'm a wine-drinking-Taylor-Swift-singing-Golden-Hour-loving-cat-lady and I cannot wait to meet you! I've had a camera in my hand for well over a decade and honestly, this job just keeps getting better! I love living in Seattle because (call me crazy) I actually enjoy a good rainy day, snuggled up for a Netflix and Chill sesh. I also love the deep diversity and support for the love of all kinds that we have here and that I am honored to capture with my camera. I cannot wait to witness your love story and gift you back your memories in the form of photographs.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a million wonderful things I can say about Sarah! From the moment we met I knew she’d be a calming presence to have around for our wedding. A few months after getting her booked for our wedding date, we did an engagement shoot in downtown Seattle. We wanted to use a parking garage that we love, (sounds odd I know. But such a great view!) and Sarah made it look beautiful. But most importantly she made CJ comfortable being photographed without being goofy. Those photos turned out perfect. Fast forward to a few months ago.... as a 2020 Bride.... with everything that has been happening this year, Sarah was very straightforward about what was required for her to be able to shoot our special day. I respect her so so much for following the law’s and guidelines around photography and only operating when allowed! We lucked out and the phases lined up so Sarah could capture our day. Everything had been uprooted, changed, and forced to adapt several times over. When all of that is happening... the best thing a bride can ask for is an above & beyond vendor! She was punctual, for arrival and thought-out the day. She helped in so many ways that aren’t in her job description & I couldn’t be more grateful for that. When everything had to be canceled and re-planned, you’d be amazed @ what falls through the cracks. But she helped us wade through all of it! The photo preview we received the day after the wedding made my heart sing. She captured so many moments perfectly, I honestly don’t know how she scoots around for different angles so quickly. If you are lucky enough that Sarah is available for your preferred date.. snag her! She was a joy to be around and her presence will be a welcomed light & stress reliever on your special day!

I like to live by the motto: “Well behaved women seldom make history.” My grandmother used to tell me this regularly. I am passionate about photography as it's a way to capture memories of special moments and events of our lives. I have maybe 5 images of my grandmother because she was always the one trying to take the pictures. I wish I had a few more. Photography is an art that I love to offer. I love that I can use photography as a gift to couples and I want them to be able to look back on their wedding as the best day ever.

If you are looking for someone who is truly passionate about what they do, then you will want to hire Adina! From the moment she was recommended to me, I fell in love with her work and I knew that I wanted her to capture our wedding. She was supportive throughout the entire process, talking with me when I had questions and gave me advice about anything and everything I was unsure about. On the day of the wedding, Adina and her second shooter, Alana were wonderful! They were very attentive to our vision and had great ideas to help us capture the moments we wanted. We love our wedding photos and the magical way in which Adina captured our big day! I could not recommend Adina enough!

I’m a Seattle wedding photographer and a dog lover. my passport is current, and I will travel anywhere your wedding adventure takes you - even elopements! My photography is inspired by traveling the world and telling stories through my images. I would be honored to be your wedding photographer. let's meet over coffee or a glass of wine- I would love to learn about your vision for the big day.

Working with Tony was a delight and I would recommend him 10/10. We were connected to Tony through a friend and I'm so happy we were able to meet and work with him for our engagement, rehearsal, and wedding photos. Not only are our photos incredible, but Tony was great at giving us direction, calming us down, making us laugh, and slowing us down to enjoy the day and the process. We were able to get all of the family and "must have" photos, but the large scale nature shots are our favorite and beautifully highlight the scenery. Tony was seemingly everywhere during the weekend and it's impressive how many shots and angles he was able to capture. Tony is responsive, communicative, and a joy to work with. I'm sad it's over, but I am so happy we were connected to Tony for our wedding adventure.

My name is Claudia, I am a wedding photographer based in Seattle, Washington and I love Jesus, traveling, hiking, and anything chocolate! In 2018 I graduated from Whitworth University in Spokane, WA with a degree in Graphic Design. I recently moved back here to the Seattle area and I am so happy I did. All of my passion and drive ultimately comes from the Lord. He has given me this gift of photography and design; it is my job to share it with all of you! All credit goes to HIM. I am extremely passionate about capturing your special moments! I want to hear YOUR story, to help make you more comfortable in front of the camera.

My now husband and I booked Claudia for our Fall 2019 wedding and we are so lucky to have picked her for our photographer. Where do I even begin? Claudia was so kind, professional, and prompt to answer any questions thru the entire year long process from when we booked with her in 2018. I was the organized bride who had EVERYTHING planned out along with a bunch of outdoor photo locations chosen until it decided to pour rain/snow the day of our wedding on what should have been a beautiful Fall day. Claudia was quick to calm me down and suggest photo locations inside our venue. She encouraged me to go outside for some photos when the rain let up a bit and I AM SO GLAD WE DID! Those photos turned out to be my favorite photos that Claudia has sent us, ironically enough since I was reluctant to get my dress wet prior to the ceremony. Claudia might be small, but she has a mighty voice and was able to quickly organize the groomsmen and families into photos for our new short timeline due to weather. I can't thank Claudia enough for the NEXT DAY sneak peeks (who even does that?! Claudia does!) and for all of her help capturing our wedding day. I would highly recommend Claudia to anyone I know.

I worked as the day of coordinator for wedding back in March. The original photographer got sick and wasn’t able to work the wedding and had Joyce as her back up. Joyce only had <48 hr notice that she was going to shoot a wedding…and spoiler alert, she did great! Joyce arrived on time and got to shooting right away. She took direction easily and was very flexible. Her turnaround time was great and it felt like we got the album back in no time! While working as a college student and photographer, I highly suggest Joyce!

My now husband & I had never had professional pictures done and we were really nervous for how our wedding photos would turn out naturally because of that and being naturally introverted.

Hi there, I'm Rhiannon (you know...like the Fleetwood Mac song) My job is literally a dream. Getting to do what I love while celebrating with incredible people. Getting to see your day unfold and documenting it so you can relive all the emotions you felt in that exact moment again and again... Like, how is this real life? You are not just my clients. I literally call you my "couple". That means something to me. I personally invest myself in you, your story, your love, your dreams & your vision. Basically I will 100% cry at your wedding.

I had a May 2023 wedding in central WA. Rhiannon took away that stress of finding a wonderful photographer. I am super picky about how photos are edited. I spent day after day trying to find a photographer that I liked. Something about Rhiannon kept me going back to her page. She was totally transparent on pricing, advice, AND she even sent over a whole wedding album who had dogs in their wedding, since I was having my pups in mine, and was worried about motion pictures. She made my day so perfect, and helped with the timeline of everything. She also helped keep me on track on the day of my wedding, since I was unable to afford a wedding planner. She continues to reach out to her clients, even after the wedding, just to check in. I’m so grateful to have picked such a fantastic photographer.

The most important thing to me for our wedding day was to have an photographer that would capture memorable photos and Julia did more than that. My photos are more than I could have ever dreamed of!! I can't say enough great things about Julia she definitely went above and beyond :)

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24
