My passion for photography and weddings began when I was very young. I staged Barbie weddings, making their dresses from Kleenex, then snuck Mom’s camera to take pictures of them. I moved on to dressing up my little sister in a pillowcase veil, again sneaking Mom’s camera. When she got tired of me using up all her film, she brought home several Bride magazines from the free pile at the library and I spent hours reading them, then pinning pages of beautiful wedding dresses on the ceiling of my bedroom. When “The Wedding Planner” came out in 2001, my fate was sealed

It’s me! Mckenzie, owner/CEO/graphics/marketing/lead shooter/future BFF/total goofball! I’ve been playing with a camera since I was 16 making my friends model and pose for their MySpace profile pics. I think it’s fair to say I’ve only grown as an artist since then. I graduated with a bachelor's in Fine Arts with an emphasis in photography from the University of Colorado. I’ve been in the wedding game for three years now specializing in lifestyle photography, capturing those raw emotions and sneaky candid shots.

Working with McKenzie was amazing - she not only takes stunning photos, but is organized, communicative, and most of all SO MUCH FUN! Always down for an adventure, McKenzie braved the elements and took our engagement photos up in the snowy Cascades a few years ago. We had such a good time and they turned out beautiful. (We still have family friends asking if it was part of an L.L. Bean ad - ha!) Fast forward to 2020 - the pandemic cancelled our wedding plans so we decided to have our dream elopement instead. On short notice, we asked McKenzie if she could be there to photograph the occasion out in Olympic National Park. She took the ferry out to join us, with just our dog, our best man, and an officiant. It was honestly perfect. I cannot imagine it any other way. At such a small event, it meant a lot to us to have a photographer whose personality and vibe added to the day and jived so well with us. We were so comfortable and in the moment. And the PHOTOS - oh my gosh. They are positively amazing and we will treasure them forever. Check out her instagram and website - every single shoot is unreal beautiful! If you can book with McKenzie, do it! It'll be the best decision you make.

My experience is unique. I grew up with my white family very cognizant of inequality that existed in the world and the importance of experiencing the outdoors. But there was still much they could never understand. My grandfather, Cherokee, Black, + Blackfeet, would always bring me into the garden with him. I learned how to appreciate our connection to the Earth, the ancient connection our people have, and how that connection had been broken, being stripped from their land. My name is Trin, I'm a photographer + traveler. I'm incredibly passionate about helping the community of color restore their connection the outdoors through photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Can't get over the pictures she took for us! They were perfectly us and captured such raw and candid moments! My husband ever had a blast. She plays music the duration on the shoot, gives you fun prompts, and just creates an overall amazing atmosphere! Love love love her and will be using her again!!

Tasha Owen Photography is built on the way I want to live my life… creatively, joyfully and in contribution. With over 25 years of photographic experience I find that I love photography more today than when I first began.

Working with Tasha was incredible, from the very beginning she was a huge help. From timeline planning to after our day, she was involved, communicative, and supportive the entire way. I loved working with Tasha so much that I actually scheduled our date around her availability given that we planned within 6 months! On our actual day, both Tasha and her husband/second shooter Tom were outstanding. They knew the venue intimately and came early to scout locations. They were efficient and effective at corralling our wedding party and family. They communicated via walkie talkie to make sure we had the timing down and the best coverage from all angles. We had an intimate 30 person wedding, and the vibe of the day along with the quirks of our group were so beautifully represented in the romantic style of the photos. My husband and I are the last people to get in front of a camera, but we felt so comfortable and at ease with Tasha. Tom caught some brilliant little moments that I never would have seen without his eye. The editing was flawless, but not over the top. It showcased our real images but somehow brought out our best qualities even in outdoor direct sunlight on an 80 degree day. About 1/3 of our guests actually mentioned how lovely the team was. I loved seeing pictures of our friends and family separate as well, having those pictures will make great gifts that we can print and frame of them enjoying and sharing in our day. Hands down, Tasha and Tom were the highlight of the day. We chose to do our pictures before the ceremony, and it just all felt so special to have an hour plus before guests arrived not having to worry about anyone else, just to be present and Tasha made sure we got every shot in the short amount of time. We had 1100 photos back in less than 2 weeks from our date!!!! You couldn't possibly go wrong with this incredible team, we will be grateful to them for a lifetime to have such special photos of ourselves and our loved ones.

Our story began with our mutual love of craft beer at a small brewery in Portland, Oregon. We met on a double-blind date and while our friends and the other half of the date never spoke again, we never stopped talking (and yes, pickup lines involving beer do work apparently!). Even though craft beer can strengthen just about any relationship, our shared love of adventure sealed the deal. We spent the next few years of our whirlwind romance exploring the Pacific Northwest

We hired Adventure Stories for both their photography and videography services for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! We enjoyed working with both Megan and Vishnu every step of the wedding planning process. From our first emails, to the actual day of the wedding, Megan and Vishnu were both friendly and professional. We had to work through many changes to our wedding due to Covid-19, and Megan and Vishnu were there to help and support us through every change. When we had questions or requests, Megan and Vishnu were there to help us, and were very flexible and caring. We appreciate the careful consideration they take when approaching each couple and client's story, that was one of the things that set them apart for us. Megan and Vishnu very much focus on telling your story! Their work is not only extremely beautiful, but is created with the couple/client in mind. We could not recommend Adventure Stories more, and we highly suggest hiring them as a pair, as they were a joy to work with as a couple!

I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya was an absolute joy to work with. She answered all our concerns and was so much fun to be around for our engagement photos and wedding. Her sense of humor kept us smiling all night. She has so many creative poses and ideas for pictures. My partner and I are both plus size and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured our personalities perfectly.

Desirae was SO awesome to work with!! She was one of the few parts of our wedding day that I had absolutely no worries about; I knew after meeting her for our engagement session that she would take beautiful pictures and would be a calm and cool presence throughout the day. Desirae brought her second shooter, Andrew, with her who ended up doing videography for us, which we were psyched about, and both of them were so helpful throughout our day. They also stayed later than we originally planned for so that they could capture a "private" husband and wife dance to end the reception. She sent us a set of 8 "sneak peek" photos which were all to die for and our photos arrived quickly, even with the holidays. We are in LOVE with all of them!! I would definitely recommend Desirae for all wedding photography needs!!

Christina was the photographer for our wedding this past October, and we couldn’t be happier with how our pictures turned out!! She was amazing to work with through the planning and wedding day. Christina made both me and my husband feel so cared for and supported. She brought so much fun to our wedding day and did the best job of capturing all the moments we wanted and more. She photographed our engagement session as well, and those pictures turned out to be amazing: knowing she would do a great job eliminated a huge amount of stress from the wedding day. The final gallery is stunning, and I know we will enjoy these pictures forever! It captures our personalities, our relationship, and both the big and little moments of this day so well. (Also, one of my favorite unexpected surprises was in a gift package we received after the wedding, which had several polaroid pictures taken the day of the wedding!)

Kristen is the best. From the start, when I first reached out to her about an engagement session and shooting for our wedding she was a pleasure to interact with and very responsive. I appreciated that she was upfront with her pricing and clear about what was included with each package. This was definitely not something I saw when reaching out with other photographers. We booked with her and had our engagement session with my now husbands two kids and our new dog, to say it was chaotic was an understatement but she was so nice and accommodating about it all. She made friends with my husband and made both of us feel very comfortable in a situation that isn’t so natural for us. Fast forward to our wedding, by this time we felt like we were friends with Kristen and her husband. They were an absolute delight! It’s 2 weeks after our wedding, we are in LOVE with our sneak peaks and we just had dinner with friends that were at the wedding and they had the best compliment for Kristen and her husband. They said they were amazing, the best photographers make you feel like they aren’t even there but still capture all of the important moments, and that is exactly what they did! The last thing I will mention is that I have had experiences with photographers that can be pretty intense and a little over the top which was something that never made me feel very comfortable. Kristen was the perfect balance between being approachable but also making sure we got all the shots that we needed. We will absolutely be working with her for all of our photography needs in the future!

My husband and I booked Tori for our engagement photos and our wedding and could not be happier. She is professional and takes the most beautiful pictures. Tori has a calming presence which was amazing the day of the wedding. We could not recommend Tori enough and we will definitely use her again in the future to capture our special life moments!

Hi, my name is Cristina and I am an Arizona + travel destination photographer! I capture photos for couples that have that warm + fuzzy kind of love. Bring me on a date, I would love to third wheel and capture your love story.

Saguaro & Sunset is phenomenal and I couldn't recommend enough! Cristina is incredibly communicative, flexible, and timely in her responses. She goes above and beyond to meet her clients' needs and delivers amazing work! I had an associate shoot my wedding due to an availability conflict and Cristina was excellent in ensuring we were in touch/everyone was on the same page and in ensuring that we would receive the same amazing work she produces. Cristina and Kiersten captured our wedding day perfectly and we couldn't be more happy with the end results!

AYOOOOO!!! i’m madeline-- a 20 something old, introverted until you can’t get me to shut up, dog lovin, taco eatin, thrift shop fiendin, adventure seekin, hot mess of a human who fell in love with a camera many years ago. i love hard and deeply, never been too big a fan of stress, and really just believe we were all put on this little floating globe to have one hell of a good time. i'm happiest when surrounded by nature, snuggled up at home with my love and our pups, or creating art out of real life love stories. i find inspiration in all of life's little in-between moments, the way the golden light filters through trees, and big belly laughs

Madeline is amazing! We LOVED Working with Madeline! When looking for a wedding photographer, we were impressed with Madeline's portfolio because her photos are all absolutely stunning and show that she can adapt to different couples' styles. However, what sealed the deal was her amazing personality. We wanted to hire a photographer we felt comfortable with, and Madeline is so sweet and hilariously funny. She made us feel so at ease! On our wedding day, Madeline and her husband, her second shooter, Brian, were SO on top of everything. They acted as our north stars, guiding us through the night. They knew where we needed to go, what we needed to be doing, who we needed to take pics with, everything! They knew how to handle weird family dynamics without missing a beat and even brought us water! Plus, they did all of this while making us laugh. Our wedding was amazing, and I don't know how we could have done it without them! And the photos turned out beautifully! We definitely made the right decision in hiring Madeline.

  • Serves Des Moines, WA for additional fees

I’m a music-loving, art nerd located near Detroit, Michigan. I’m sure if we were to meet in person it would be over coffee, hell maybe (hopefully) even a joint. I’ve been in love with art and anything weird since I was a kid and I still try to weave that child-like vulnerability into my art. I feel incredibly grateful I get to do something I love everyday. Photography, for me, is more than just a profession - it's a heartfelt expression of who I am.
