Trisha Lea Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves South Cle Elum, WA

My approach is to document authentic moments such as emotions, reactions, relationships, love & laughter to name a few. I'm not a photographer who believes in making you pose with a permanent-grin on your face. I'm more like a movie director giving you natural movements and subtle direction for the most natural and authentic version of who you are as a couple. Photographing adventure weddings & elopements is my specialty & where Imy greatest joy. I am 100% invested and dedicated to my couples. No matter where you are planning to say I DO ... I'm SO in! I'm always ready for an adventurous love story. *Formerly known as Bella Moda Photography

Trish @ Bella Moda Photography shot our wedding in Maui. A long way to travel for a shoot but she was up for the adventure and the challenge. From scouting the locations ahead of time to knowing the best time of day for light and conditions, she was on top of every situation before it became a…..situation. We had a problem free day, very much thanks to Trish’s keen eye and years of experience. We’re so grateful for her confident but flexible way of somehow being everywhere all the time. We feel like our photos captured our day and our experiences perfectly. If you don’t want to take chances, Trish and Bella Moda Photography should be on your vendor list.

Heidi Michelle Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves South Cle Elum, WA

I have been photographing weddings for 25 years this year and I feel so blessed to have my career! I am passionate about what I do! My role is making sure you are back with your guests and joining your party asap! My style is quick and fun! I love when couples tell me how much fun they had! We typically meet up at my favorite brewery in town, which is gratefully minutes from my home. 😉 I live smack in the middle of Leavenworth Washington, which is the most incredible mountain town. I've lived here for 18 years and know all the best hidden locations. Choosing local truly matters to our small town of 3500 locals. Thank you for choosing us!

Heidi is the absolute best, we loved working with her! She has years of experience and it clearly shows both in the pictures she captures but also the whole wedding photo experience she delivers. Heidi captured the most precious moments and memories from our big day and I am grateful to her that we will always have those. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and its truly all Heidi! She is extremely talented and wastes no time when taking group photos, the couple, family etc so that you have plenty of time to enjoy your wedding reception with your guests. We absolutely love her and had her shoot our maternity photos as well, and will continue to use her in the future! We cannot recommend her enough.

Sound Originals Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Our experience with Taylor and Yan from Sounds Originals was phenomenal. They went above and beyond to ensure every significant moment was captured with creativity and precision. The end results were nothing short of spectacular. The photos were high-quality, with stunning clarity and perfect lighting. Each shot was framed beautifully and told a story of its own. They were punctual, well-prepared, and adaptable to the changing dynamics of the event. For example, when we were behind our schedule for our couple's picture, Taylor suggested a great idea of finishing our sections during the cocktail time. Taylor's approachable and engaging manner made the photo sessions enjoyable and stress-free for us. She was really helpful with guiding us with posing when we didn't know what to do. The video footage was crystal clear, with smooth transitions and impeccable editing. Overall, I would highly recommend Taylor and Yan from Sounds Originals to anyone in need of an exceptional photographer/videographer. Their passion for their craft is evident in every shot and frame, making them a joy to work with.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day.

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my two dogs and three cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I'm 9 years old 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could write a book about Leah; or at least a very detailed blog post but I'll try to keep it shorter! As a fellow professional photographer, I got the opportunity to meet Leah and work with her as her 2nd photographer on a wedding. It took that one amazing experience and absolute blast of a time to know that whenever it was I got married she was THE photographer for me. Fast forward some years later it was finally my turn to tie the knot and my now husband and I chose our date based on when Leah was available, because there was no other option for me! I have gotten to work with dozens of photographers throughout my going on 10 year career, and I'm telling y'all, it doesn't get better than Leah. The photos - amazing! I love her eye for details, the crispness, the colors! Not to mention she is such a beautiful soul with the best personality and energy, with the professionalism to get a gallery worth of beautiful photos with you barely realizing she's there. While going through our gallery, I was stunned and overjoyed so many times to see things I had NO idea happened or even photos of people that I unfortunately didn't get to spend much time with yet seeing that they still enjoyed themselves. In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you can choose for your wedding day. I am so thankful my experience in the wedding industry allowed me to cross paths with Leah because that made a really important decision very easy for me. And I hope my review can help other soonlyweds out there make a hard decision easier. You will not go wrong choosing Leah to photograph your big day!

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding. Their attention to detail and passion for real-life photos really makes the perfect wedding album. They captured every important moment. We are so thankful. We could not recommend the team enough!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves South Cle Elum, WA

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + intimate weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people in love have the wedding of their dreams in magical outdoor spaces. When you choose to elope, you’re choosing to get married free of society’s wedding day expectations. So go wild! Spend the entire day in your favorite place, with your favorite person. Wear a fancy outfit, or wear your hiking boots. Invite your dog instead of your mom’s second cousin. Share your first kiss under the stars instead of under an altar. In the great outdoors, you write the wedding rules. And I’m here to help make it an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began looking for a photographer for our micro-wedding, we gravitated towards Nadia’s images over and over again. Not only did they capture raw, intimate moments between couples and families, but they elevated those moments in elegant and natural landscapes of the PNW; everything we wanted. We reached out and set up a consultation call immediately. We were initially nervous and felt very unprepared to speak with photographers because we had zero ideas for what our special day would look like, but after our call with Nadia we were confident that Venture Ever After was the right choice for us. She was so knowledgeable and did a TON of legwork planning our timeline to best capture the moments we wanted in the lighting we needed, recommending a variety of locations for some private moments as a couple and group activities with our family, and keeping us grounded and calm throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Nadia took the reigns and gently guided us through the day with compassion and grace. She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details. She even conquered some pretty crazy heights armed with multiple cameras and a walky-talky to capture some dramatic and beautiful couple’s portraits. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Nadia is one of the most genuine and kind people I’ve met. She has a knack for keeping elopement/wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. My partner and I truly felt like models. I feel so blessed to have our wedding photographed by her and, above all, be able to call her a friend. I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW. In fact, I hope to be able to visit her and capture anniversaries and momentous occasions for our family long into the future.

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 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.

As an artist in the 21st century, I am overwhelmed by all that we cannot trust. The landscapes are edited, the portraits are airbrushed, and the legitimacy of what we see on social media is anyone's guess. That's why it is my passion and life pursuit to capture our most precious things in life - our loves, our families, our unrepeatable moments - in the most true-to-life and timeless way possible. I live for the unguarded moments that take our breath away. If you want to capture this time in your life in all its perfect authenticity, it's my job and my joy to capture the soul of these things for you to hold in time forever.

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Eliza as our photographer! From that unforgettable, rainy surprise sunrise engagement session at Rattlesnake Ledge to our wedding day on Orcas Island, she was ride-or-die and with us every step of the way. Eliza poured her heart and soul into capturing our journey, and it shows in every single photo. She has an incredible knack turning real moments into art, and we know we’ll cherish these photos forever. Beyond her talent, what really struck us was her warmth and dedication.

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

You should stop scrolling through photographers because I'm here to tell you, Sarah is the one. She is extremely professional, talented, compassionate, creative, and can make absolutely every one of her clients feel understood and comfortable. She flew out to Washington to take our engagement photos at the Olympic National Park and the entire day was one of my favorite memories. Not to mention she sent me sneak peeks of the photos within a couple of hours - incredible editing skills and extremely fast service. I'm going to cherish these photos forever and we are SO excited to have her as our wedding photographer in June. Thank you for everything, Sarah!

My husband and I got married at the beginning of December, right in the middle of Pandemic crises and another round of shutdowns. Will was extremely flexible with our schedule & helped me with planning throughout the whole process! I may have changed my plan 10 times and each time he agreed without any issues. Will took the most beautiful pictures of us and most importantly he had the best attitude! We are looking forward to working with him in the near future!

I am a photographer who is about keeping things fun and lighthearted, reminiscing on moments between you and your partner as well as helping create new ones. My goal is for you to be present on your day and to receive images that aren't just art, but memories to keep. Your images are meant to represent you and that's what I do. Please feel free to inquire on my website!

I’m so glad that we found Elita! She did such a stunning job with our engagement and wedding photos and she was so accommodating with our tight timeline! From the very beginning she provided great ideas to help plan our big day and she was super flexible when weather wasn’t ideal for our engagement photos. She was very communicative and easy to get ahold of too. She made our engagement photo session so much fun so that we got beautiful photos and a great memory all in one! She provided so many sneak peaks that were ready the morning after our engagement photo session and the morning after our wedding so that when we woke up we got to see some of the results right away! Elita did such an amazing job capturing exactly how we were feeling in all of the photos she took. So many guests at our wedding mentioned how sweet she was and how much they liked her too! Generally I feel really awkward in front of a camera but Elita did a great job putting us at ease and giving us prompts that were fun and didn’t feel forced. The photos turned out so dreamy I can hardly even believe they’re ours. She captured all the feelings so perfectly, plus moments and details that I didn’t even realize she caught! It has been so fun going through all of our photos and remembering every bit of our wedding day. She’s seriously so amazing and I’m so happy that we have these beautiful photos to look back on. We can’t wait to work with Elita again because she is so good at what she does and she’s been a pleasure!

We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

Seriously the only thing I regret is not finding Tracy and Bill sooner to do our actual wedding day. We hired them this past summer to do re-do photos since there was a bomb cyclone on our actual day that put a kibosh on the mountain top wedding we dreamed about. Not only were the understanding about our circumstances, but they helped us figure out details we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. From being flexible and ensuring multiple day availability in order to make sure we got a great weather window, to their communication, to the actual sunset pics on the top of the mountain. It was a dream, and they even helped us figure out what hike to do after pics were done! :) We get compliments all the time on the photos and "stunning" is probably the most common word out of people's mouths when they see them. I was even in a coffee shop with a friend three months after the fact that I hadnt seen in those three months that as soon as I showed up, she stopped the group talk and told them all about my wedding photos, LOL. Please hire these guys, you will have zero regrets and a lifetime of looking back on amazing memories .

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

We specialize in capturing the magic of your wedding day. We bring your memories to life with our lenses, turning every unforgettable moment into eternal keepsakes of your love story. We’re dedicated to making your wedding vision a reality. From the first consultation to the final photo delivery, we prioritize open communication and transparency. Whether it's helping round up family members for photos or guiding you on where to put your hands during portraits (it can be awkward, we know!), we’re here to make sure you get the best photos on your wedding day! Let’s create something beautiful together!

In May 2023, I began my search for a photographer. My significant other had just proposed and I was on the hunt for someone amazing. As time went quick, I eventually dedicated myself to researching all the local photographers I could find in Skagit County/near by areas. Among my search, I was looking for high quality and an aesthetically pleasing style of photos/editing. The search was long and tedious, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel… and my light was AK Photography. Alexis and Katrina are the best photographers in Skagit county. They do family photos, weddings, engagement sessions, and much more! AK listened to my SO’s and own ideas, and provided valuable information during our wedding planning. AK photography is informative, collaborative, engaging, easy to communicate with, and the best option compared to all others I met with. The mini engagement session was stunning and matched our vibe. Plus, photos were received back in lighting time! During our wedding (June 2024), they brought every emergency item you could think of and assisted with resolving any problems that arose. Having a large (160 person) wedding was chaotic to say the least. The presence of AK was exactly what we needed, and they are the best fit for a couple looking to get wedding photos taken. Compared to all other photographers, AK brought twice the power and 10 times the productivity. My husband and I would not have felt as comfortable during our wedding if we did not have AK Photography. We will be going back to AK for forever more, and cannot wait to schedule our next mini session! Thank you AK Photography! Your presence, friendship, and photography ability is the best thing we could have asked for! Amazing work and outstanding delivery!

Hey friend, I’m Erica! I am a documentary style destination wedding photographer, based in Seattle! My passion is capturing, true love through my lens. I’ve been professionally photographing weddings for over seven years, and I even grew up in the industry! My mom is a wedding coordinator, and growing up, I fell in love with all things weddings!

We loved working with Erica from our engagement photos to our wedding! She captured our small, mountain elopement in such a magical way. When we look back at the photos, we remember how we felt in that moment because of how well she captured the environment and the details. This is especially impressive considering we got married at sunrise, outside, in the fog/rain on top of a mountain. Our day was very simple and yet it looks almost cinematic in our photos. She has a creative eye for what she does, but is still open to making any ideas you may have come to life. We very much appreciated her knowledge of how to pose us and our guests in photos, as well as her grounded and down-to-earth personality. A wedding photographer is one of the most important purchases you’ll make in your lifetime and I truly believe Erica is well worth the investment! We now have our love story captured in such a beautiful way that we will get to look back on for a lifetime. Thanks Erica!

From day one with us, she was incredibly kind, and sought out to learn more about us as both individuals and as a couple, to better capture the essence of who we are throughout our engagement shoot and wedding alike. She is so very talented and has such an incredible eye for the beauty in her clients, the world around them, and has such a deep perspective on how to blend all of these aspects together to ensure that you have these memories for the rest of your life. The days following our wedding, I felt very melancholy, as I had felt our fun filled day had gone by too fast. Now, with Jazmín's astonishing pictures and her ability to capture raw emotion in every frame, my wife and I have the blissful opportunity to relive our day together over and over and over again. Not to mention, she is an absolute sweetheart and made us feel so very special in so many ways.
