Welcome, let me capture your love story! Hi, I’m Jennifer, a wedding photographer based in Seattle for over 5 years and I consider it an honor and privilege to be entrusted with documenting one of the most significant chapters in a couple's life. With my passion, skill, and dedication, I am committed to creating a seamless and unforgettable photography experience. With an innate sense of empathy and a meticulous attention to detail, I strive to create an atmosphere of ease and comfort for couples. I believe in building a genuine connection with the couples I work with, allowing their true emotions to shine through in each image.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Jennifer for our wedding, engagement, and adventure photos and had such a great experience! We had never had professional photos taken but Jennifer made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. After having a great engagement shoot, we asked Jennifer if she would do an adventure shoot with us. We went on a beautiful hike that Jennifer captured wonderfully. Something you don't realize about hiring a wedding photographer is how much time you are going to spend with them on such an important day. Jennifer was fun to hang out with and made us feel relaxed the whole time. We love all of our pictures!

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 taking pictures. Your wedding photographer is in your personal space on one of the most hectic but thrilling 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.

We couldn't be happier with our choice of Jen for our engagement photos and wedding day (and will certainly be coming back for future photography needs). Her creativity and collaborative nature combined with her expertise in capturing the most beautiful moments exceeded our expectations in terms of what we were looking for in a photographer. We cannot thank her enough for creating these timeless keepsakes for us-- we had so many great photos from our engagement shoot it was hard to choose which to use for our website/invites, and we were so happy with our sneak peak photos from our wedding day! If you are a couple that hasn't taken pictures together before, or if you are looking for a photographer who can meet you where you are and help you figure out what works for the style of your event, Jen is the photographer for you.

Doug was such a good choice!! We were trying to find a photographer to be there for our elopement, he shot mainly on film and the photos came out absolutely perfect. His work is truly special and deserves much more notice, his film work is so nostalgic and beautiful! He was great with making sure we hiked at a good time and made it to the best spot for photos. He was patient with taking photos of us in both hiking outfits as well as our wedding attire that we brought with us, we are so excited to work again with him in the future for anything else life throws at us!

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner I have seen many wedding photographers in action. There is a great deal to be said for finding a photographer who “get’s it” and “get’s you” and Zoe is that rare and amazing combination of both. From the basics like dressing respectfully and arriving early every time, to the amazing perks like quick turnaround of finished photos, to the most important stuff being able to trust her and her delivering great work every time. She is a Brooklyn-ite, grounded, real, focused, dedicated. She is amazingly responsive, sincere, and a joy to work with. She is not one to grab your attention (like those cameramen who crack jokes to make you laugh, or the person who is posing you again and again to get it juuust right), instead she is always working behind the scenes to capture those amazing special moments, those truly great moments. You be you. She captures the rest. Want classic pictures at Central Park, she’s on it. Did you decide you didn’t want to opt for a permit? She’ll play along. Want photos in the subway, sure, her metro card is pre-loaded and camera is snapping away -- even with the not-so-ideal light, she makes you look amazing. Is there a dog? child? She is well versed in coaxing a few cute moments out of them. The most important thing you need to know is – She does good work. Look at her photos. If these were photos of you and your beloved, would you like them? Great, Then you are all set! Choose Zoe.

  • Starts at $4,200

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 katejmillerphotography@gmail.com 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.

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.

Amy of Amelia Soper Photography couldn't have done a better job photographing our wedding. We adore the photos she took! Amy is reliable, professional and an excellent communicator. She connected with us just the right amount before, during and after the wedding. Our wedding package included an engagement shoot and we were nervous as it was our first professional photoshoot, but Amy helped us feel relaxed and ourselves and she captured genuine emotion that made for sweet, memorable photos. She is very experienced in photographing weddings and it shows in her shots, not to mention that she seemed to have captured multiple angles of the same moments during the ceremony without anyone noticing her movement! Choosing Amy for any of your photographic needs will be a good choice!

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
When we started planning our wedding I knew that I wanted to work with Isaac. I had been following his work on Instagram for a few years after my friend got married and I always love the energy and emotion he can capture in his photography. The photos are bright and colorful and feel very natural. After meeting Isaac, he is one of the nicest people and it was a real pleasure to have him at our wedding. And the photos turned out just as I had hoped. There are lots of great family shots, the details of the bridal party getting ready, setup and all of our guests enjoying the reception are really fun. And the sunset photos have a magic quality to them. I definitely got so many photos its difficult to decide which ones to print and frame for the wall.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Hannah. She was extremely professional and kept everyone organized on the day of our wedding. We opted not to do a first look, so she worked with the venue to coordinate separate “getting ready” photos for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen. She styled our “details” photos so beautifully, and she PERFECTLY captured the vibes we were going for. (When we were initially researching photographers, we fell in love with her style and how she uses natural light to create the most breathtaking images.) The ceremony photos were gorgeous and so were the post-wedding/family portraits. She was a big advocate for us and went the extra mile to ensure we got the shots we wanted. With Hannah, we never once felt rushed or stressed. Everything felt easy. She was polite and professional with other vendors, and she turned around our photos quickly. We really enjoyed working with her and will definitely keep her in mind for any other photography needs we might have in the future. In our opinion, she is one of the best there is. Highly recommend.

Hi, I’m Jenny. I’ve been photographing weddings around Seattle since 2008. I want to produce images that show all of the joy of your wedding day, that show how amazing your family is and just how sweet life can be. Weddings are groovy and I love people. Call me!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenny...was awesome. That's an empty term these days. Costco gas is "awesome." Bottomless fries are "awesome." Seinfeld reruns are "awesome." No shade here -- nothing wrong with any of those things -- but that's not the meaning I'm trying to invoke. Jenny wasn't "awesome." Jenny...was *awesome.* She was professional: punctual and capable, organized and efficient, commanding when she needed to herd wayward in-laws and subtle when she needed to melt into the background. She was experienced: brimming with knowledge and advice when asked, but respectful of our goals and quick to pivot to facilitate our vision. She was artistic: keen-eyed and creative, nerding out over the possibilities afforded by every corner of our venue, a wizard with pixels and colors and light. But more than that, Jenny was warm. My wife and I would have been satisfied if she'd just been a killer photographer, and we'd walked away with dynamite pictures. Jenny? Jenny gave us SO much more. She was patient. She was funny. And she was exactly what we needed: her easy rapport with even the most oddball and camera-shy among our motley crew worked absolute wonders to make the smiles real and the day what it was. The stress just evaporated around her. I'm the third among my siblings to get married, and the second lucky enough to work with Jenny as a photographer. So I've seen her in action twice: once when I was an officiant, and once when I was the groom. And both times, she completely blew me away. So, with confidence, I say: Jenny is awesome.

I would highly recommend Amiran to any friend or family member. If you are reading this, do yourself a favor and reach out to her.

Masha’s style is romantic and timeless, and every shot was quality. Thank you, Masha, for capturing sweet moments and memories we’ll never forget!!

She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles.

Hey! I'm Sharlee, an adventure & pet-friendly elopement photographer based in Oregon. I have a background as a vet tech+ I'm an avid lover of hiking, camping, climbing, or anything outside. I am passionate about helping couples feel empowered to “break from tradition and create a wedding of your own” Whether that's exploring a new place together, cuddling in a cabin, or sharing a favorite food - I want your wedding day to feel authentic to YOUR relationship and what makes elopements so special. Being able to provide you with a fun, enjoyable experience & beautiful images that look like your own piece of art is what makes me beam.

Our experience with Sharlee was everything we could have hoped it to be, if not so much more. To start, we wanted our ceremony to be in Utah, which was a challenge in itself being that we live in Oregon. Sharlee knew all the steps to take to make sure we could have photos at our ceremony in the location we wanted, including what permits were needed (which seemed like the most daunting of tasks). She was also great about asking us what our vision was for our ceremony so she could get the best photos possible, and she really delivered on getting those photos. I mean, WOW. To start, the moments she captured are the moments we'll want to look back on, so many years from now. From us getting ready, to the ceremony, to cute moments after the ceremony and everything in between, she caught it all. She even made on-the-fly-adjustments to make sure we got the perfect photos when things didn't go quite to our original plan, and did so in such a professional and smooth way that you almost would have thought she expected it to begin with. We received a preview gallery in the midst of our honeymoon, which made it feel that much more special, and the photos are AMAZING. The photos combined with her editing style are beautiful and timeless, and I know they will be something we lovingly look back on for the rest of our lives. We absolutely made the right choice on who to hire for our big day and will be greatly appreciative of what she did for us for our the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend her highly enough for your big day, as I know you'll be ecstatic as we are about our photos.

Hi! I am Courtney! Photography is my passion. I can't put into words how excited I am thinking about a session or a wedding. Giddy like a little kid in a toy store, I suppose! I love details. As small as the sparkling eyeshadow on the bride's eyelid for her special day. The tiny fingernails on a newborn's hands. All the giggles and laughs. Kisses and a loving glance. I want to document every little thing for you. Events and life, in general, can be so busy. I am based in Arlington, Washington, but I serve all of the United States and most countries. I LOVE to travel!

Courtney photographed my daughter's wedding and I cannot say enough good things about her. As the mother of the bride, I was very involved (maybe a little too involved my daughter said) and I had many questions, and it was important to me that we had everything in order. I was able to set up a call and communicate with Courtney before the wedding and I felt such ease on the day. I went to her with a problem and she easily came up with a solution. She was present, aware, and there ready to capture whatever unfolded. She was easy going and simply a pleasure, helping any way she could. The whole family and the guests were impressed and kept going up to her and thanking her for a job well done. I cannot wait to book her for annual family photos now!

I believe in remarkable experiences, genuine relationships, and authentic imagery. Connecting with couples, having fun, and documenting love in a meaningful, honest way is my passion. And, those fleeting, raw emotions that happen only on your wedding day? Those are what I live for. Whether it's the tearful exchange of vows between you and your person or the excitement of celebrating with your loved ones on the dance floor, I capture the moments you'll want to relive and allow you to experience the sentiment of your day all over again.

From the first connect I had with Carley, I knew she would be our wedding photographer. Her style is incredible, she's incredibly easy to talk to and work with and she genuinely wanted to capture our love in such a special way. After having initial anxiety about how we'd look in our engagement photos, it took all of 30 seconds to feel comfortable with her process. She produced the best pictures I've seen of my husband and I and we will cherish them forever. I simply cannot recommend Carley enough - everyone at the wedding also raved about her. We adore her and the photos she's given us to commemorate our favorite day.

Not only did she take stunning photos that perfectly captured our wedding day, she also helped me get my boob tape situated, put my veil in and removed it. She makes everyone feel so comfortable and had our entire group laughing all day. She kept the timeline moving, but didn’t make us feel stressed or pressured. Communication and attention to detail are phenomenal and she sent us sneak peeks the day after the wedding and we had our full (HUGE) album a week later.

Having Ashley as my photographer was by far the best decision I made while wedding planning. As all brides know, there are a million photographer options out there so it can be overwhelming to choose. I didn’t know who I wanted to go with until I talked to Ashley on the phone. Immediately she made me feel so much less stressed about everything. Not only is she an INCREDIBLE photographer, she also helps with timelines, helping other vendors, assisting whenever anyone needs a helping hand… I could go on and on.

Everything was perfect, from the candids of friends and family, to more formal wedding party pictures, and we especially loved the small Polaroid snaps she took. She and her team will get you truly stunning pictures. She has an eye for telling your story as it unfolds around you with her photography.

Hi! My name is Laura & I'm so happy you are here reading this little bio because it means we just might be a great match! (WooHoo:) Quick 411 on me:) I've been married now for over 26 years & counting! My hubby Guy and I were both born and raised in Southern Ca. but met in Utah at a Sundance work Christmas party and even though it wasn't love at first sight, it was pretty darn close🖤 We have 3 beautiful kids and a handsome son in-law! Something unexpected about me (for most people:) is that I'm a new "chicken mom" my kids think I've lost it, but really they have just been replaced is all haha-I'm kind of obsessed with them! Haha:)

I highly recommend Laura! She is amazing and was able to capture exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. We have continued to use her for our family newborn/lifestyle photo shoots with all my babies. We even drive in from out of state just to use her to shoot our sessions. She is amazing!!

Hi, I'm Katy! I've been a photographer and videographer for over 17 years and I love working with couples to create beautiful, artistic photos and films! My visual style tends to be soft with bright lighting, earthy/vibrant tones, a shallow depth of field (blurred backgrounds and foregrounds), and a mix of prompted and candid poses. My energy tends to be pretty calming, which can help people look and feel more natural in their photos and on video. I enjoy artistic collaboration and I love hearing your ideas and seeing your Pinterest inspiration boards!

The day of our engagement ran into some challenges with the Marathon taking place in Burlington that day, but Arielle was amazing even with the last minute changes! She helped us to take advantage of the empty streets and we couldn’t recommend her more!

She is an expert in her field and holds a Master of Fine Art in Photography from the School of Visual Arts.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin, Heather is an incredible talented photographer to work with! Goes above and beyond to do a great job! Through a recommendation of a professional wedding hair stylist, we were introduced to "Heather Olker Photography". From the start, Heather's approach and her overall personality was one that aligned completely with us. You will come across several vendors during the wedding planning process that have overpowering personalities.. Heather and her team are very well organized, responsive, sweet, helpful and communicated very well with us and with our coordinator at the venue. She helped us in creating the perfect timeline for our wedding day, made us feel completely comfortable through the process. Responded promptly to all our questions and concerns. She traveled from NY to Boston to photograph our engagement photo session, and wedding photos. Which we absolutely love!!! All things being equal, my husband and I are not the most photogenic people ;) The engagement photo session (which I encourage everyone to get one, if only as an opportunity to get to know your photographer before the big day) it allowed us an opportunity to see Heather as someone who completely goes with the flow with our collective vision. There is so much attention to detail you put into your wedding day and those memories are all now fleeting. But investing in someone like Heather and her professional team for your wedding day, capturing the pictures of not just you, but more importantly to us - our family and close friends - was the wisest investment that we could have made last summer. If you're wondering whether or not to book her as your photographer for your special day, don't hesitate. There is no one better! We Highly recommend her. Thank you once again Heather "Heather Olker Photography". Much appreciated, Claudia & Greg

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

We booked Jennifer for our wedding set to take place in Nov 2022 because her photos were moody and gorgeous. She was the only photographer that my now-husband Alex and I could agree upon when looking through portfolios. Jennifer absolutely blew us away when she did our engagement shoot, we had a hard time believing she could one-up it for the wedding. But in true artistic fashion, she did, and we are so blessed to have found her. Not only was she so easy to work with, but she was incredibly accommodating when we had to suddenly move our wedding due to a severe family emergency. We can’t say enough about her, honestly. But my husband and I both agreed that we will be flying her out wherever we are every life milestone from here on out. Do yourself a favor and just book her!

I love capturing the unseen, messy, and perfectly imperfect photos that you never even knew you wanted. I live for those emotive, raw, storytelling moments. I take a documentary approach to my work; My style is candid and my focus is authentic connection through my images. If I were to describe my style; VIBRANT | RICH | BOLD+COLORFUL.

When I say Jeny is the best, I mean she is THE BEST. I reached out to her to capture my elopement and she was immediately willing to join us on our adventure. She even had many ideas for locations, despite it being a destination shoot. It was clear that she spent time on researching the destination, which was so thoughtful. I loved her creativity and direction during the shoot. We both felt very comfortable. Now, the photos themselves, were AMAZING. I love how she was able to capture everything. She also provided a quick turn around time for our sneak peek photos and the entire album! We will never use another photographer!

We carry this love for love into every wedding we photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Mischief and Laughs Photography was wonderful. Cara was very responsive and easy to work with, leading up to and on the day of the wedding. She was extremely professional and went above and beyond in working with us. The ceremony and bridal party pictures are absolutely beautiful, but I think where the photos really shine are the wonderful little moments of the day that she captured. Neither my husband nor I are big on staged photos so we wanted a photographer who would get those in-the-moment shots. I am so happy with all of the pictures from the after-dinner cigars on the outside patio and of our friends and family on the dance floor. If you want someone who can truly capture the celebration, you need to book Mischief and Laughs for your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittney is a gem of a photographer and a shining star of a person. She captured our wedding more beautifully than either of us could have imagined or wished for. Being photographed by her feels like hanging out with your chillest, most talented friend, who knows how to work ALL your angles. Aside from being talented and kind, she radiates the coolest, most calming vibes throughout every situation. We shot our engagement photos outside on a cold, rainy day and somehow Brittney managed to make us feel like it was warm and sunny. Throughout the course of our wedding day, she kept us calm and on schedule, making everything feel like an effortless breeze. But Brittney is so much more than a photographer. Even in the time leading up to our wedding, she was there to answer all questions and give suggestions about everything wedding related. She answers her e-mails so promptly and comprehensively, and is always willing to jump on the phone to talk it out. Brittney provided so much priceless guidance when we didn't know who else to look to. Ultimately, Brittney is the full package. I'd say triple threat, but she's much more than that. She's not only a really good photographer, but she's a really good person. TLDR; Hire Brittney, it'll be the best wedding decision you make (aside from marrying your spouse, I guess).

Makenzie was my wedding photographer, and I loved her so much I made sure she also photographed my cousin's wedding, too! At this point, any time my family or I need any photos, we go to Makenzie. Specifically for my wedding, she was really helpful throughout the entire process. She had wonderful ideas for different iconic shots, she was there during the most thoughtful moments, and honestly she helped out a lot with anything I needed! I really enjoyed how thoughtful she was with her photos; it's like she knew exactly what I wanted to remember from my wedding and made sure I would be able to see it forever. Regarding the photos, they fit the exact vibe that my wedding had, and I could tell she put a lot of care into editing each of them. There was not a single one that I didn't LOVE. If you're looking for a photographer that will not only capture your big day perfectly, but who you also want to be your best friend afterwards, book Makenzie. She's a really kind, caring person who will make sure you have the most quality photos. I think that's what sets her apart from other photographers I've worked with; you can tell she loves what she does, and that she cares deeply about capturing such an important milestone in the way that YOU want to see it.
