Justin really nailed it. He was flexible, easy to reach, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He has a gift for capturing both the big moments and the little details, and his candid shots feel timeless. Beyond his talent, he brought kindness to our guests and patience when challenges came up. I still get endless compliments on our wedding photos. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, I couldn’t recommend Justin more.

Congratulations on your engagement! Your wedding day will be one of the happiest days of your life, and we would love to be the company you trust to capture all those rare and beautiful moments on your special day. You want to be sure you hire an experienced photographer you can trust to not miss a single treasured moment. Thank you for taking the time to consider Rebecca Jane Photography, we know what a big decision it is choosing your photographer, and would be honored to be the company you trust with the memories you'll cherish forever.

Rebecca Jane Photography is, without question, a 12/10 in every possible way — Rebecca and Alex are simply the best photography team out there. Their photos are flawless, and honestly, there are so many incredible shots from our wedding that it's nearly impossible to pick favorites. Despite being insanely busy, their communication was outstanding, and they even worked in an engagement session around the holidays to accommodate us since we lived out of state — that kind of flexibility and care says everything about who they are. They're not just amazing photographers, they're even better people, and it showed in how beautifully they collaborated with all of our vendors, especially our videographer; Rebecca made a point several times to include shots she knew he'd want too, which is such a thoughtful, team-player mentality you don't always find. We also booked their photo booth and designed our own custom backdrop for it, and it ended up being a total hit — plus they shared all the photo booth pictures within our wedding gallery, which made it even more fun to relive. If you are searching for your wedding photography team, look no further — Rebecca and Alex are it, seriously. This team is talented, genuine, hardworking, and an absolute joy to have as part of your wedding day. Book them without a second thought! - Jess & Tristen Witt

  • Serves Auburn, WA

U&P Studio is a wedding photography duo based in Washington State. We specialize in capturing real emotions, natural moments, and timeless love stories in an honest, unobtrusive way. Our approach is calm and photojournalistic, with a touch of editorial style — allowing couples to fully enjoy their day while we document it as it naturally unfolds. We focus on genuine connection, meaningful details, and the moments you may not even realize are happening. We believe wedding photography should feel effortless and stress-free, resulting in images that bring you back to how your day truly felt, not just how it looked.

We had our wedding last September, and Viktoriia and Oleksander (u&p studio) were our photographers—they truly ended up being our favorite vendor from the entire experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsible, attentive, and professional, always prioritizing our preferences and making sure every detail aligned with our vision. We absolutely love how our photos turned out. The quality is exceptional, with a refined, artistic touch in both composition and editing. Their use of professional cameras and lenses captured stunning details and genuine moments that we will cherish forever. What stood out most was their flexibility and dedication—whenever we had specific requests or ideas, they were more than happy to accommodate and bring them to life seamlessly. They created such a comfortable and positive atmosphere, which made the entire photography experience feel natural and enjoyable. We also received so many compliments from our guests about them. Viktoriia and Oleksander are not only talented photographers but also warm, kind, and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a team that is creative, reliable, and truly invested in making your day special, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

Meet your favorite FUNtographer: Stephanie began her studies with the plan to become a pilot. However, as her love for photography grew, she decided to pursue her passion as a business full time, getting to weave her love of capturing moments artistically and want to share that passion with others into a successful business where her clients always come first. Building into her style, she found her travels and time living abroad in college have influenced her images and allowed her to challenge her personal style of capturing moments, and coupled with lots of in the field learning, she is able to catch true emotions in a timeless way.

Stephanie was a great photographer for our big day. When she found out we didn't have a wedding planner during our initial consult meeting, she also gave us some great tips/hints, which led us to feeling a little less overwhelmed with it all. During that first meeting, Stephanie made sure to walk through the general look and feel of what she'd be doing during our wedding. We went over a pretty comprehensive list of family/group shots that we wanted, and she assured us that the day was going to be special. When she showed up for the day of the wedding, she was prepared and professional and definitely knew how to handle two anxious grooms who were running around making sure everything was good for the festivities. My partner and I just let Stephanie take the reins for how our photos were done, and I'm sure she would have preferred a *little* guidance, we're so glad we did, because her ideas were better than anything we could have come up with. Also, having that list of group shots was so important, because it made taking pictures with all of our family and friends fly by. As for the ceremony and reception, Stephanie was adept at blending in/not being noticed while capturing all the memories we could hope for. The pictures have been fantastic, and I don't know if there's a better person who can take two awkward guys, put them in what seem like awkward poses, and make beautiful pictures. Thank you so much Stephanie!

I will recommend Original Weddings until I’m black and blue! Our experience was soooooooo fun and easy. From the affordability, to website questionnaire, to video chat, and to editing, we loved the whole thing and the constant quick communication. We also received our BEAUTIFUL photos and video is such a timely manner. I’m not sure if you can request certain people, but Ashton (photographer) and Bunee (videographer) from Oklahoma were the absolute best. Ashton had such amazing ideas and years of experience.

I cannot say better things about the photos we had taken by Allison. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I have never felt more beautiful.

I'm Jen, the founder of Vow House, a Seattle-based wedding photography studio dedicated to capturing love stories with an editorial, artful, and cinematic approach. With over a decade of experience behind the camera, I have built a body of work that blends moody, timeless imagery with authentic storytelling, tailored to each couple’s vision. My work is deeply influenced by atmosphere and environment, the rainy Seattle streets, mountain backdrops, candlelit interiors, and I thrive on translating these settings into images that feel both grand and intimate.

Our experience with JL Thomas Photography was incredible. We are so grateful to have booked with Jen. She answered all of our questions and more. With the package we booked for our day, we did the pre wedding shoot, which we used for our save the date invites. Jen was very easy to work with, kind, fun, and non-judgmental. We were very inexperienced with posing as a couple, Jen was very helpful and guided us through the shoot. For the wedding day, she was on time and kept communication going with a zoom meeting a week or two before the wedding and throughout the wedding day. Everyone that met Jen at our wedding complimented, "man, your photographer is so nice!" and we agree! She gave us sneak peek photos of our day very quickly and already we were so impressed! When we got the full photo package, we were in awe! There are so many great moments documented with friends and family. Our couple shots were so well done, and we loved her editing style. I can't brag enough about how we loved our photographer and our photos.

Shawn was the perfect balance between giving us a bit of direction when we needed it, and seamlessly blending into the crowd during the event. We are so pleased with the pictures we received. Shawn is especially skilled at capturing candid moments and scenes that are high in movement and full of life!

Whether it's behind-the-scenes shots of your guests laughing at the toast or up-close looks at how much fun you're having as you dance around the room, I'm there to capture every second of your special day.

Rhipo Photography was fantastic to work with for my sister's wedding. From the very first call, Hitesh provided clear and detailed communication about their process, timeline, and deliverables.

On the day of the wedding, Hitesh and his team blended seamlessly into the background, capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. We absolutely loved the quality of the final photos - they perfectly encapsulated the joy and emotion of our special day. Hitesh's artistic eye and attention to detail really shone through in the final product.

We had a 150-person wedding at the Center for Urban Horticulture, which is a large, spread-out venue, and Janelle and her team were always where we needed them to be, capturing all of the special moments of our day! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for weddings, portraits, and everything in between!

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!

Autumn is an incredible photographer, and also just an all around great person. From our initial consult, to our wedding day, and after, she was always prompt in responding and friendly. The day of the wedding she made us, and everyone she photographed, feel so relaxed and at ease. The way she can capture light and color in an image is stunning. Guests commented after how awesome she was to interact with at the wedding. We we finally got our completed gallery, we were blown away by the images, and so happy that she was able to capture the day for us. She is an incredible photographer and an absolute rock star.

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.

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!

I'm a wedding photographer who cares just as much about how it felt as how it looked. I’m drawn to real connection, quiet in-between moments, and all the chaos and joy in between. I bring a calm, grounded energy that helps people relax, whether I’m goofing off with your wedding party or hanging back to document the magic as it unfolds. My style is part documentary, part editorial, and all heart.

Lindsey photographed my wedding in June 2017. My fiancée and I at the time were running into some vendor issues because of where we live and the fact that we are a same-sex couple, so when Lindsey wanted to have lunch with us, we were nervous to say the least. However, it was only minutes into the conversation that I knew we’d found the perfect photographer for us. Lindsey shared her personal stories with us, and made us feel like we were talking with a friend we’d known for years. Wedding days are hectic, and we had a large wedding party, but Lindsey didn’t miss a beat from start to finish. Needless to say, our pictures turned out perfect, and Lindsey was able to photograph our special day wonderfully! We still get compliments about how beautiful our photos are almost 5 years later! Lindsey was professional, empathetic, and a joy to work with. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

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, documentary, and photojournalistic. 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!

Based in Washington State, I photograph intimate celebrations and grand affairs alike - always with discretion, always with intention.

I am a Washington Elopement Photographer who specializes in adventure elopements and intimate weddings. I help couples plan a stress-free, epic elopement in the mountains while photographing their big day. I offer local resources and vendor recommendations for adventurous couples who want to ditch walking down the aisle and instead get hitched on a mountain

I am so glad that we chose Cherlyn to be our elopement photographer. Cherlyn has an amazing amount of mountain experience and local knowledge of Washington trails. She also has many outdoor technical skills, so she can join you for more adventurous activities - she joined us on a glacier climb! You can count on her to know the best spots to elope, best times to elope, and the current conditions at your planned elopement location as well as a number of other backup locations. Before the big day, she provided us with super thorough packing lists, created realistic timelines for the day which helped with our planning, and even helped us navigate uncertain weather forecasts and pick some backup locations the day before we were supposed to elope. Communication was always easy and thorough. We did a backpacking elopement with a few friends and I loved how Cherlyn fit right into our group. It felt so fun and natural to have her with us. She was constantly running around to get tons of different shots. She was working hard! Our photos turned out so beautiful and perfectly captured the essence of the trip. The lighting, the composition, the vibes of each photo - everything just feels right. My husband and I were so happy the entire trip with our friends and Cherlyn, and I’m so glad to have such wonderful photos to remind me of that experience.

Hi, I'm Cessna! I am a Washington based wedding + elopement photographer and outdoor enthusiast. This beautiful mountainous state has infused me with a passion for photography. I started off shooting only landscapes, then gradually started developing a love for weddings after shooting my brothers in 2021! Capturing nature + human connection through my creativity leaves such an impact on my own life & I am so grateful to be call this my career.

From our first conversation with Cessna Kutz Photography, we knew we had found the right person for our elopement. She was so easy to talk to and genuinely interested in making our day special, even though we were traveling from out of state. Cessna helped us pick the perfect location for our ceremony and photos, which made the whole process so much simpler. Her work is absolutely stunning—every single photo captures the beauty and joy we felt that day. She made everything smooth from start to finish, and honestly, we can't imagine anyone else photographing our wedding. We're truly obsessed with our photos and so grateful for everything Cessna did for us.

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

Will was great! He made our day even more special by being there. He was really dedicated and did a wonderful job. Everyone at the wedding was happy with his work and how happy and outgoing he was! I definitely recommend his work.

Mahdi was voted our best vendor at our wedding! By us and by friends that got to know him. From our first phone call I was like, man this guy is cool and relaxed. I'm also pretty relaxed but obviously this can change on your wedding day, so having a laid back photographer was perfect for me. He arrived a bit early to set up and we chatted a bit and he went straight to work and my bridal party loved him right away. I would recommend Mahdi to anyone looking someone to perfectly capture their day or even just capture the moment. You will not find a nicer, more professional, or fun person to help you to remember the most important day of your life.

Hi, I’m Alexander—a Seattle-based wedding and event photographer and Best of The Bash award winner. Since 2023, I’ve photographed 60+ weddings and dozens of events, capturing genuine emotions and real moments that couples can relive for years to come. My approach is relaxed and natural so you can enjoy your day while I document it authentically. I offer wedding and event photography starting at $500, professional editing, digital delivery, and Photo Booth rentals to add a fun, interactive experience for your guests.

Alex captured one of the most meaningful moments in my life so perfectly, I still can’t believe how beautiful the photos turned out. My going-away shoot was emotional and bittersweet, and he somehow translated all of that into images that feel so real and timeless. Beyond his incredible eye, Alex is just an amazing person to work with—so easygoing, personable, and genuinely invested in making you feel comfortable and confident. Nothing felt forced, and that’s exactly why the photos feel so authentic. If you want someone who can truly capture a moment and not just take pictures, Alex is your person. I’ll cherish these photos forever.
