Awarded Best of Zola
Sound Originals was beyond incredible for my wedding. I communicated to them that I wanted to add video a few months out from my wedding and it was a stress free process. My husband and I are a bit awkward when taking photos and my photographer and videographer were so great in helping us get comfortable and trying different poses that made us less awkward in front of the camera. They both helped keep the energy high all throughout the night and my only regret was not hiring them for longer to capture things that had happened after they left. My bridal party and guests were telling me how great my photographer and videographer were. I just got my photos back and they are exactly what I wanted; Moody, slightly editorial with some candid moments. I can’t recommend Sound Originals enough and I will be recommending them to friends and family that are in need of a photographer/videographer

I’m Luke, a Seattle wedding photographer with a simple mantra: Guest First. Photographer Second.

Luke was such an amazing addition to our wedding! He was our first choice for wedding photography and was originally booked up on our date. With Covid changes, we were able to get Bear Beau for our rescheduled, smaller wedding, and we couldn't be happier! Luke brought such a joyful, calm, and helpful presence to our wedding. All of our guests noticed how kind and happy Luke was as he ran around taking pictures, and still talk about how great he was a couple months later. I really couldn’t imagine our day without the help of Luke. He brought such a calmness that made me and my fiancé relax and just enjoy our day. I was able to rely on him to know our schedule, help with the flow, he remembered details like my veil and bouquet- all sorts of things that helped our day run smoothly. Luke even arrived an hour and a half early than planned to get more getting ready photos and detail pictures, which I appreciated so much! Luke also worked amazingly with our videographers. Guests thought they were from the same company because their work together at the wedding seemed so seamless! Luke was really kind and respectful to make sure the videographers were able to have their time and space to capture the day as well. Luke is so skilled and quick that we got amazing photos all day long but never felt like we were busy taking photos- the whole day felt natural and easy. And of course Luke is so extremely talented! We love our pictures so much as they captured the genuine happiness and feel for the day. All the pictures are beautiful!! My husband and I couldn't be happier with the photos we got back and feel so grateful for Luke's above and beyond talent and service for our wedding day. We would recommend Bear Beau to everyone! Out of all the vendors we hired, he was one of the most valuable and made the biggest difference for our day.

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'm here for the couples that want their wedding to be a damn good time. Whether it's a massive weekend-long wedding with a 30 person wedding party, or a vibrant backyard love celebration with an epic playlist, I will be there to make sure every awesome moment is captured in all its glory!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so so happy we got our wedding photos from Brynna! I genuinely mean this because of a couple of reasons. She was very understanding about our schedule. We are from out of town, my husband was coming back from deployment right before, and with covid thrown in she was very flexible with scheduling and professional when dealing with us. The photoshoot itself went very well! My husband and I had never taken professional photos before and she not only made us feel at ease but she was able to show our personality in our photos while also making us look GOOD. It was a very fun day taking photos and that showed in the product- they turned out better than I could have hoped for. This brings me to my last point- the photos genuinely are amazing and everything I wanted. I don't typically review things like this on the internet but everything about this experience exceeded expectations and I honestly just wanted to give her that recognition. I would definitely recommend Brynna and I hope this review helps you in your decision in choosing a wedding photographer!!

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.

I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea! I loved working with her and her assistant on the wedding day and leading up to the wedding. As a wedding planner, she made my job easier from start to finish! She was extremely kind and responsive in the months before the wedding. Chelsea was incredibly professional, genuine, and fun to work with on the wedding day not only with me and other vendors but with her couple and their guests. Her ability to make her couples feel at ease is reflected in her gorgeous photos. I highly recommend Chelsea Terry for couples looking for a great addition to your vendor team and to capture one of the best days of your life!

My Husband and I got the pleasure of having Alanna capture our wedding day through videography. Alanna was extremely professional but my favorite thing about her is that she was able to match our energy and help us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She worked amazingly along side our photographer and was able to capture candid moments we didn’t even realize she’d videoed until we watched it for ourselves. In addition to all that, we received our video just 4 days after our wedding day. Thank you so much Alanna, we hope to work with you again!

  • 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 worked with us for our elopement photoshoot in October 2023 and it was an incredible experience from inquiry through the photoshoot itself. I had been referred to Becky through a friend who had worked with Becky on her own beautifully photographed wedding. Becky’s warm response to my inquiry set the stage for a great experience. Becky is exceedingly organized and communicative, meeting with us over video chat and later chatting with us through her online portal. She helped us create a shared vision for the day, and leading up to the photoshoot, we felt confident the day would go very well. I was admittedly very nervous for the shoot, as I feel uncomfortable posing in front of a camera. Becky’s demeanor - calm, comfortable, funny, and enthusiastic - settled my nerves immediately and allowed me to be present with my husband on this meaningful day. The photos Becky took are simply incredible. She captured our relationship and new marriage beautifully, while also highlighting the gorgeous landscape. Becky’s photos are truly a gift we cherish.

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!

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.

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!

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.
