I’m Luke, a Seattle wedding photographer with a simple mantra: Guest First. Photographer Second. On your wedding day, I’m part of the celebration, prioritizing your experience and capturing the moments that truly matter. We’ll make time for great portraits, but my main goal is to document your day as it unfolds—no endless posing or pulling you away from the fun. From the laughs and tears to the joy, heart, and love, I’ll capture it all to make your day unforgettable.

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.

Lindsey Paradiso Photography 

5.0

Seattle, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200

Like many kids in the late '90s and early 2000s, I grew up with a camera in hand—Polaroids, video cameras, disposables, film—you name it. I was captivated by the magic of preserving moments and telling stories. Now, as a wedding photographer, I bring that same passion to capturing your day. I’m known for making people feel warm and at ease, whether it’s connecting with your family, hyping up the wedding party, or quietly documenting the in-between moments. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, celebrated, and truly themselves while preserving memories you’ll treasure forever.

Lindsey is the best decision we made for our wedding. We knew choosing our photographer was important, and while we initially picked her based off her photography style and the art she created for weddings, what we ended up with was so much more. She wrangled our scatter brained families, she kept everyone on track, and she always looked out for US. She was exactly as direct and forceful as our families required, without ruffling any feathers. She was professional, kind, and an over all rockstar. During the ceremony I caught a glimpse of her literally sprinting around with her camera in unforgiving heat. Lindsey gave it her all, for 10 hours straight, just to make sure we had memories of our special day. The day after our wedding Lindsey's name came up multiple time amongst our family and friends, always followed by the words "awesome" "amazing" "incredible". I never want to plan a wedding again, but if I did my first call would be to Lindsey.

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’m a Bridal makeup artist and got to work with Chelsea on numerous occasions- working with so many vendors through the years, you know when you meet a gem. Chelsea is professional, an expert at her craft but yet do kind and down to earth. She makes you feel so welcomed, always! Regarding her actual images- her images are so beautiful and document each event with such passion. She is a photographer I will always recommend to my brides because I KNOW they will be in good hands! Hire Chelsea and you will not regret it!

Joseph Tobiason

Seattle, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

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

Seattle, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

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
We cannot say enough positive things about Sarah Jane, she's an absolute gem!! After watching her magic at my friend's wedding a few years back I knew instantly that I'd need her shoot to my special day as well (one day)! When my time finally came, Sarah Jane was the first vendor that we booked and afterwards everything else fell smoothly into place. Sarah Jane helped us plan a beautiful engagement shoot on Mount Baker while also taking time to help us scope out possible ceremony spots for the following year. She helped us develop a timeline for both our ceremony and our reception, and that was a HUGE lifesaver!! Then when our ceremony location had to change just two weeks before our big day due to the snow levels on Mount Baker, Sarah Jane quickly reworked our plans while still managing to incorporate everything that was important to us. She was phenomenal when it came to managing our large family in group/individual photos, completing many shots in a very short amount of time. Somehow she manages to capture all of the sentimental, candid, and funny photos all at the same time....I swear she's an absolute ninja with a dynamite personality!!!! We loved every moment we spent with Sarah Jane and we can't stop drooling over all of our breathtaking photos.

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 am an art person, and a people person. I’m forever in love with lines, textures, colors, and more than anything, the vibrant connection between people. Nothing gets me more inspired than good light, a gorgeous view, and a love story.

Lindsey is the EXACT person you need to capture your most precious moments in life. We have asked her to be there for our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, and for our daughters newborn photos as well. She was a calm and refreshing presences at our wedding. She was professional, personable, and didn't add to any wedding stress. Which made it that much better too! My husband and I look at our photos all the time and are so grateful we asked her to capture these memories. Book her and you will not be sorry. The quality and care she puts into her work is very rare now a days. Lindsey is a very talented photographer and we will be using her for many future moments as well.

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.

As the years have gone by in my career, I have had the pleasure of cultivating a long-lasting journey with my clients, no matter where it began. I have joined in at various times, whether it was at the start of a marriage or with a family that had kids. Regardless of when it all started, I love being there every step of the way to preserve the fleeting moments. We can agree that life goes by far too fast and change is inevitable. Let’s capture these moments, shall we?

It was an absolute wonderful experience! I got the package deal with photographers, videographer, and DJ and they were all so great! Made me feel very comfortable and had excellent and creative ideas for photos! They captured every precious moment.

Hi, my name is Olga and I am a wedding, elopement and family photographer based in Seattle. My style is light, romantic and timeless. I love to tell your story through the pictures and capture the love between you. Things I love: spending time with my family, beach walk, spontaneous road trips, hiking, mountains, sushi, good music and sunny days:) I love to meet new people and discover new places. Life is a journey with lots of happy moments. I would love to capture them for you!

Olga did such a phenomenal job capturing our engagement pictures that we hired her to capture our wedding as well. She showed up, all by herself, and managed to capture stunning images of not only smaller private moments, our ceremony, goofiness and love during our procession, incredible group photos, pictures of our families, and anything in between. She is a professional, yet brings a kindness and playfulness that worked with us so well - and we've loved every moment of working with her from the moment we reached out. If you bring Olga onto your vendor team, she'll absolutely deliver.

I’m Emily, and I’m a photographer who loves the outdoors, bright colors, and creating photos that capture your authentic self. My style is colorful and candid, almost photojournalistic at times. I’ll capture the standard portraits for your extended family to put on their fridge, of course, but I also try to create photos that show what it really felt like to be there – the bright smiles, the tears, the dancing.

Emily was phenomenal to work with - she is friendly, thoughtful, and talented! She took time to chat with us in advance of the day to make sure that her approach to photography was exactly what we were looking for and to ensure she captured some of the key shots we really wanted. Emily's work reflects the authenticity of the beauty of our wedding without a bunch of overediting I've seen from other photographers. I would highly recommend her for capturing a family and joy focused album, especially if you have an outdoor component to your wedding!

Candid, vivacious photography for life's best moments. Destination wedding and intimate elopement photographer based in Seattle and serving the Hawaiian Islands (Hawaii/Big Island, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai), the West Coast, and abroad.

Like the procrastinator I am, I totally dropped the ball and did not even start to find a wedding photographer until way too late. Luckily, Chelsea fell from the heavens and not only had our wedding date available but was also prepared to do an initial meeting with us the same day we reached out (on New Years Eve no less). What else can I say about Chelsea other than that she is FANTASTIC. We were having a small, COVID friendly wedding that I was planning myself and she offered us so many fun ideas that brought our wedding to the next level. Have you ever been to a wedding where every single guest commented on how great the photographer was? It was like she was part of the family, and honestly, I didn’t even care what the photos looked like because she was just incredible to have around. The photos of course though, were gorgeous. Chelsea is so talented, and she completely captured the light, beachy aesthetic that we were going for. If I ever need a photographer in the future, she will be my first call – and she should be yours too!!

Yep, I’m the photographer who is not afraid to put on hiking boots to scout out the spot up in the mountains that isn’t already documented on Instagram. I’m the one who makes you cry in the middle of Costco when I send your photo gallery. I’m the one you text random wedding questions to because you KNOW I actually want to (and will) answer.

OH MY GOODNESS Rachel sent my husband and I a sneak peek of our wedding photos the day after our wedding and they are absolutely stunning!! Thank you so much Rachel and to your sweet hubby Igor for the most heartfelt and special day! It was nothing like I expected and I was so stressed leading up to it but once Rachel and Igor took the lead everything felt light and fun, and I knew we were capturing memories we’d cherish for the rest of our lives. It truly was a dream come true. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping capture our very special 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.

We were recommended to Jonathan by a friend and we were happy we selected him as our wedding photographer. In our video calls, he took time to get to know us and to learn what was important to us. We didnt want our wedding day to feel like a photo shoot and preferred a journalistic approach. Before the wedding, he provided a very helpful guide to prepare us for the big day. He was prompt in his email communications and we appreciated the attentiveness he gave us. During the wedding, he was good at being inconspicuous while taking photos. For most of the day, we didnt realize he and the second photographer were there! We gave him the nickname “Photo Ninja”! This allowed us to fully be in the moment and enjoy our wedding. Jonathan revealed the finished photos about a month after the wedding. We were very satisfied with them. There was a mix of group photos, journalistic photos of the ceremony/reception, still photos of decorations, and candid photos of the wedding party and guests. He did a great job of capturing the memories from the wedding. Overall, we are very pleased with Jonathans work. He was accommodating and flexible to fit our needs and budget. He was friendly and easy to talk to. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

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!!
