My now husband and I had a few phone calls with Pacific Lights. Through the conversations, they picked our photographer and videographer that were the best fit for our needs. They were easy to work with and very professional. We received the results quickly. We both want to use Pacific Lights for other events. Would highly recommend!

Emma Lee Photography

  • Serves Renton, WA

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma and her team were amazing throughout the whole process. We only had two months to plan and Emma was so helpful and was even able to suggest other vendors. On the day of the team was kind, professional, understanding, and accommodating. The photos they took were beautiful and I could not be happier. I cannot recommend Emma enough.

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 did an amazing job with our photos. The whole experience from a meeting before to consult about how we wanted the day to go, to easy to follow direction and advice on how to get the best possible pictures on the day. Jonathan is competent and quick but also laid back and helped us take the stress off what is already a very stressful day. And then the photos turned out truly special. Even on an overcast day he was able to create some beautiful photos that will last a lifetime for us. He had ideas for poses and framing but also gave us space to do what felt natural. We would LOVE to work with him again. Cannot recommend him enough

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!!!

Julie Morgan from Sound & Sea Photography gave me the photo session of my dreams. Her expertise and attention to detail left me worry and anxiety free. Being from out of state, we were able to connect via phone and zoom. I gave her my vision and some details i wanted to incorporate and BOY DID SHE DELIVER!!!! She gave me plenty of site options to choose from, and all were exactly what i was looking for. We narrowed it down to distance and ease to locate since we were traveling with little ones. She considered everyone and everything. Her outlook and sense of direction really made the absolute difference. She took factors of the elements, snow, sun, shade, fog, light and gave us the most beautiful moments. Even capturing the little candid moments with the kids and my new husband were so heart warming. She saw what I didn't see. She positioned us in ways that were both flattering and fun! She had the best pricing but and the best accommodations. I would definitely recommend a thousand times!

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 Terry is D R E A M. We are beyond thankful to have worked with her and that she was a part of our special day. Chelsea instantly feels like your best friend and knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera (esp if you're like me and aren't used to being photographed). Not only is she the best work with in the moment, but her photos are more beautiful than I could have imagined. She sent us some sneak peak photos on our honeymoon and it was such a treat to relive the day through her photos. I HIGHLY recommend you book her for your next wedding or event. We will definitely be looking to her for future photography needs. Thank you, Chelsea! <3

Alanna was a joy to work with! She was great at communicating in the months and weeks leading up to my clients' wedding, and made sure we were both on the same page. She was punctual on the wedding day and did an amazing job of sticking with the schedule and getting everyone photographed in the allotted time. She was also friendly, fun, and had a sense of calm (which is essential for any wedding professional!). She had the complete photo gallery ready just a few days after the wedding, and her photos were beautiful. I'd be delighted to work with Alanna again!

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!

Becky G Studios

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Renton, 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 shot photos of every single important event in my adult life and we are always SO happy with the result! She is amazing at what she does, from my wedding to baby shower to maternity photos to family photos with a 1 year old! Her photos are flawless and edited beautifully. She brings out the best in everyone when she shoots and makes you feel so comfortable. We recently had to move out of state and had to go to another local photographer and it was a nightmare, for the first time we didn’t get to shoot with Becky and we missed you terribly! Consider yourself lucky if you can ever shoot with Becky G!

Celene Presto is an AAPI photographer that services the greater Seattle area. Her focus when working with clients is making sure that an authentication connection is established. It's like you're hanging out with a friend.

We celebrated our 10th anniversary with a photo shoot by Celene, and it was an amazing experience. As a fellow Filipino, she incorporated elements from our wedding and heritage into the shoot, making it extra special. Celene was very communicative and open to my vision of incorporating our wedding day and sharing that story with our daughter. She made us feel comfortable, guiding us through every shot, and the final photos perfectly captured our love and family. Due to a recent family loss, I was overwhelmed with emotions that Celene welcomed warmly. We couldn’t be happier with the memories she helped us create. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly understands your story, I would absolutely recommend Celene 3

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!

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.

Growing up, I wanted to be a writer. I never imagined I would use photography to help tell stories. You and your partner are already writing the story of your love. I have the honor to help tell that story through photography. We are here to celebrate the story of who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming in every shape, size, skin complexion, religion, ability, and orientation.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used T Z Wilson Photography for our engagement photos and our full wedding day and he did not disappoint! Ty communicated with us promptly when asking questions or talking about the process of how each day would go. He is very skilled in making a wedding day run smoothly with photos and creating a timeline. He made us feel comfortable and in return created some amazing photos capturing our personalities and relationship perfectly. Unlike some photographers that do the same things over and over or using the same types of scenes he will bring you to new places, beautiful spots and create "poses" that fit you as a couple and the style of your wedding day. If you're the adventurous type he is your guy too! We snuck of to beautiful fields and landscapes near sunset and they are some of my most favorite photos. The results and finished photos were nothing short of a dream and I am so thankful we had him for our wedding day!

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 a videographer’s perspective: we can only sing Andria’s praises. As a professional, as an artist, and as a person, she is of the highest caliber. We LOVE working with her because we know the flow will be smooth and our goals will sync for the benefit of our clients. The energy she exudes is infectious, making anyone around her at ease. When you hear the word "artist," think Andria. That's truly what she is and what she brings to every wedding. Hiring her is more than a worthy decision, not only for all she delivers to her clients, but for the seamless collaboration she offers other vendors. Don't let her pass you by!

There aren’t many times in your life you have your best friends and family members gathered together in one place. this lends itself to good photography. but it’s important we get good access, that we be able to photograph you from the perspective of a close friend or family member. we want to shoot your wedding from the inside out, not the outside in. when you get your photos we want to bring you back to those moments in an intimate and impactful way, so you can remember how it felt.

From the moment my husband and I met Melanie from A Fist Full of Bolts, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Her responsive communication style and professional, niche approach put us at ease from the start. Melanie's timeless, artistic style shone through in the stunning photos she captured, both on film and digitally. Her passion for photography was evident, as she seamlessly moved between mediums to ensure no special moment was missed. Melanie's friendly, down-to-earth demeanor helped me, a camera-shy bride, feel like I was with a lifelong friend on my wedding day. Both my family and bridal party also felt completely at ease working with Melanie. We are thrilled with the timeless images that now serve as cherished memories of our special day.

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.
