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!

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.

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.

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.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen on a styled shoot, and I cannot express enough how wonderful the experience was. From start to finish, Jen demonstrated a level of professionalism that truly sets her apart in the world of photography. First and foremost, the end result speaks volumes about Jen's talent. The photos she captured during our styled shoot were nothing short of stunning. Her ability to manipulate light, composition, and color is truly remarkable. Each image was a work of art, and I was left in awe of her skill as I flipped through the final gallery. Jen has a knack for capturing not just moments, but emotions and atmosphere, making her photos come alive in the most extraordinary way. What sets Jen apart even further is her clear and unique vision. It was evident throughout our collaboration that she had a well-defined style and a creative perspective that breathed life into our project. Her ability to conceptualize and execute her ideas is a testament to her artistic prowess. Jen's photographs have a certain magic to them, a distinctive quality that makes them stand out in a crowded field. Working with Jen was an absolute delight. Her friendly and approachable demeanor put everyone at ease during the shoot, fostering a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. It's evident that she genuinely loves what she does, and this passion radiates through her work. Jen's enthusiasm is infectious, and it was impossible not to have fun during our time together.

Kate Miller Photography

  • 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.

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.

My husband and I chose Betty to document our wedding day and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Betty was so easy to work with and professional, guiding us through the photography plan and details with utmost care. Planning the wedding ourselves wasn’t easy, but we never had to worry about the photography with Betty as our vendor. She was always on top of communication, getting back to us in a prompt, friendly manner with clear information. She also accommodated a space change at our venue just days before the wedding. Betty’s images of our special day are simply breathtaking. We love the compositions, color, emotions, and how thoroughly she captured each part of our wedding. On the night of, we received a preview gallery to share with family & friends that evening which was fantastic. When it came time to view the complete set, we were struck with joy, and our guests had highly positive feedback, too. I know we will treasure these photos for a lifetime! We also worked with Betty on our album design which turned out stunning. We were in awe of her quick turnaround on the layout work. The process of reviewing and refining each spread was so fun and professional! We absolutely recommend Photography by Betty Elaine for anyone looking for an incredible, experienced photographer. Betty’s talent is a true gift, and we can’t thank her enough.

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.

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

I originally found Masha through Zola and was impressed by her editorial style photos. I am so happy that Masha was available to photograph our wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and so gorgeous all day. My husband was nervous about being in front of the camera but she helped guide our posing and he looks very natural in the end result! Photography is a large part of the wedding day and I'm grateful I spent that time with Masha. I am picky about photos since my dad is very passionate about photography, especially film photography. The photos (both digital and the film ones) turned out absolutely incredible. She took both traditional wedding portraits as well as some very dreamy gorgeous editorial-like photos. It's hard to convey how happy I am about the experience. I'm already dreaming about another vow renewal so I can book Masha again!

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.
