It has been 6 years since Andrew photographed our wedding weekend and we are still obsessed with our photos! They hang in our home and have been our phone screensavers ever since we received them.  Andrew was wonderful to work with! He made us feel super comfortable. He gave us great direction, but was also collaborative, listening to things we were really looking for in our photos. Last, he was a lot of fun to be around, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day.  It was evident that his photography experience and pure talent comes through in every aspect as a photographer. We can't recommend him enough!   - Hannah & Christian

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!

  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Zoe grew up in a small town in Western Canada, earned a degree in fashion design in Vancouver, and lived 12 awesome years in NYC, before recently relocating to Seattle WA. After a rewarding career as a women's footwear designer, she left the fashion industry behind to follow her passion of becoming a wedding and family photographer full-time.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

Jen is a wonderful photographer and a joy to collaborate with as a person. She's talented, patient, and delivers beautiful images. I'd recommend anyone to book with her without hesitation.

Kate Miller Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I'm east coast born & raised, but a loyal Seattle convert since 2014. I love trash reality tv. I teach aerial yoga once a week. I'm usually craving fries. I'll never turn down a margarita (except while I'm on the clock at your wedding!). I lead student trips abroad with National Geographic. I think there's no better way to spend a summer day than in the sun and on a paddle board. And I think that your wedding should be exactly how you and your partner want it to be. Email me at [email protected] and I’ll tell you hilarious stories and answer all of your questions.

Kate Miller is not only a lovely human being, but she is also a heck of a photographer. Prior to becoming a wedding planner, Kate was my go to photographer for everything. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera in all kinds of settings so it felt natural to ask her to photograph my wedding, too. Her approach was thoughtful, complete, and easy. She gave just enough direction to make us feel supported, but not so much that she interrupted the flow and ease of the day. The photos turned out fantastic and feel true to what the day looked like in real life, which is something my husband and I deeply value. We didn't want our photos to look like a filtered or stylized version of our memories; we wanted a beautiful and complete collection of the joy on that day, just as it was. As a now wedding planner, Kate Miller is my top recommendation to my close personal friends who get married. I know that the experience she provides is stellar from start to finish and that there is no one better to take care of my loved ones.

I'm Leena a Seattle-based wedding and elopement photographer deeply rooted in storytelling, nature, and adventure. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes of Washington, my passion for capturing love stories blossomed alongside my love for the outdoors.

We have been able to blow them up and hang them in our home and the quality of them is amazing. She is such a fun photographer and we really enjoyed working with her. We really appreciate her being able to capture our memories in such a wonderful way so that we can have them forever.

Hi! I'm Jordan, your photographer! I'm so glad you made it to my page. I started off as a portrait film photographer almost 20 years ago and resisted transitioning to digital until I couldn't anymore. Now, as a wedding photographer, my work is a hybrid of both digital and film and I'm so thankful to have the variety!

We absolutely loved working with Jordan! She made what could have been a very awkward day of posing for intimate elopement photos feel so fun and natural. My partner and I love the different locations she took us to and the result is some of our favorite photos as a couple!

Amelia Soper Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I’ve always been that girl who absolutely hates being left out of a good time. FOMO, amiright?! Weddings are sort of an extension of that for me. I want to be there to capture every bit of the fun, excitement and overwhelming, heartfelt joy. I work hard to get to know my clients, expecting that by the time your wedding day rolls around, you’ll consider me a friend. You’ll know me and I’ll know you and when I show up on the big day you’re both simply going to think… Hey, my friend Amy’s here. Awesome! Because the truth is this: It’s much easier to relax in front of a camera when you know there’s a friend you trust behind it.

We were delighted to have Amy Soper as our wedding photographer. Her professionalism, courteousness, and enthusiasm made our day even more special. The beautiful, professional photos she took made me feel like a Disney princess and perfectly captured the magic of our day. Amy truly shared in our joy and checked in throughout the evening to ensure everything was going smoothly. Her energy and professionalism meant this was one thing we didn't have to worry about on the big day. The only thing I would have appreciated was a bit of guidance during photos, especially for things like "your necklace is crooked" or "chin up a bit". These are things I couldn't really tell in the moment but noticed in photos afterwards. Not enough to deduct a star though, Amy was great to work with. We highly recommend Amy Soper to anyone looking for a talented and enthusiastic photographer for their special day. Her work will leave you with treasured memories you'll cherish forever.

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.

Hey there, I'm Meg! I've loved taking photos ever since I owned a knock-off Razor flip-phone... remember those days?

It's true what they say — when you know, you know. Something as special as that innate instinct to love and be loved by your person is art in itself. Keep the star-crossed feeling close with artfully directed photography designed to honor your love / your story / your wedding in all its show-stopping essence in that attention-to-detail / art-imitates-life style. Let's hike a trail, take a milk bath, drink cocktails on the roof, dance in a crowded street, let's get hitched. Let's do it all and make it as unforgettable as the moment you say, "I do!"

From our very first interaction with Allie, we were blown away by their communication style. They responded quickly to all of our questions and were so easy to talk to, making the planning process a breeze. On the day of our wedding, the Allie was a calming presence - she even brought umbrellas for when it started to drizzle! The photos she captured were truly beautiful, perfectly preserving the joy and authenticity of our special day. We were so nervous to have our picture taken but felt completely at ease in front of the camera, and the final images reflect our true selves.

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.

Isaac’s 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.

Masha is an incredible photographer. As a fellow wedding photographer, finding the right person to document our colorful wedding on Maui took some time, but as soon as I talked to Masha and saw her full wedding galleries I knew she was the one! She took such care to get to know us the months leading up to the wedding and on the day made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Just a few days after our wedding she sent over the most beautiful sneak peeks. When I saw them I immediately started crying she just captured our day so beautifully!!

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.
