We believe that photographer first of all is an artist and not just the camera operator. The art is above all. And everytime we turn on the camera we create from scratch. Because people are not just freezed charachters before the "click" but personalities. So every photo would becomes not just a paused picture but your life moment. And that moment artist creates from scratch.

“These guys were incredibly positive and attentive to every detail and every request we had. Our wedding day timeline started to fall behind, and we were worried we wouldn't make it to the ceremony on time. Serhii and Maria stepped in and took control of the situation like professional wedding planners! We are so grateful for their help and support. Their experience really showed, and they helped keep everything running smoothly during a stressful moment. Highly recommended!”

“From our first conversation with Tricia and Amy at Pacific Light Photography, we knew we had found the right fit. They both took the time to understand what we wanted and paired us with a photographer and videographer who worked together seamlessly on our wedding day. Our photographer, Ksenia, was thorough in helping us coordinate timing and guided us through poses while explaining what to expect, which made the whole process feel relaxed and natural. She did both our engagement photos and wedding photos and we felt at ease. The communication throughout planning was informative and supportive, and she went out of her way to make sure everything aligned with our vision. The videographer, Danny, was incredible to work with on our wedding day. He made us laugh and further made us feel comfortable throughout the process. The final photos and videos turned out beautifully and captured all the details we hoped for. We're grateful for Tricia and Amy's dedication and would highly recommend Pacific Light Photography to any couple looking for a team that truly cares about their special day.”

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!

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 hired Jonathan for wedding photography, and he was easy to work with and very organized. He visited and researched the venue (Seattle Aquarium) and lighting on his own (no flash by the fish, dark interior), and proactively setup meetings and reminders. We had never hired a photographer for a large event before, and Jonathan explained what shots would work best and timing. Jonathan worked with an associate photographer to shoot the wedding, which went very smoothly, and then Jonathan did the final editing. The photos turned out great and we received them a few weeks after the wedding.”

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.

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 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!!”

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.”

“Douglas was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on 08/17/24. Our original wedding photographer cancelled two weeks before our wedding, and a friend recommended we reach out to Doug. He was thankfully available and from the moment we reached out, he was so easy to communicate with - always quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and so easy-going. His work has been absolutely beautiful, he has an amazing understanding of light, composition, and framing with a lot of experience working with outdoor conditions that truly captured the essence of our special day. Doug fit right in with our wedding - he showed up early, stayed late, and somehow (while just following the standard schedule of the day) managed to get the most incredible true lighting and color in *all* of our photos - everything feels exactly like the day itself felt. We couldn't be happier with the results and would without a doubt recommend Douglas R Hall Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.”

Erin and her second photographer had a unique ability to blend into the background while still managing to capture every candid moment beautifully. On our big day, they arrived early, prepared, and full of creative ideas. Erin even came the day beforehand and was present for our rehearsal! She gave us lots of tips of where the best shots would be! The photos turned out stunning—each shot perfectly encapsulating the emotion and joy of the day. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they made sure to capture both the big moments and the small, intimate ones that we will cherish forever. What stood out the most was their professionalism and ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. They directed us perfectly for posed shots while still allowing for natural, spontaneous moments. Overall, the Lovers Wild exceeded our expectations and delivered a breathtaking collection of memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. If you want someone who is not only talented but genuinely cares about telling your story, look no further!”

“Professional, quality photographer that made photos fun and easy Hiring Mahdi and Shima was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Mahdi and Shima were a phenomenal team and captured our wedding in the most perfect light. Our pictures turned out better than we could have ever hoped and I would recommend them for every wedding/engagement (they did both for us). Reasons why we love them-- 1) The pictures they take are top notch. The quality and style is unrivaled 2) Their style of capturing the wedding is authentic. Mahdi and Shima do a great job of capturing the "in between" moments that really tell the story of the day. Of course they include the standard family and bridal party pictures, but so many of the pictures really capture the vibe of the day. 3) Their teamwork and ability to help lead you through the flow of the day are second to none. On the day of the wedding it felt hectic and I wasn't 100% sure where I should have been or what I should have been doing at any given moment. Mahdi and Shima helped us with our schedule and walked us through the entire day effortlessly. This was great because I never had to worry about where I had to be next 4) They are just great people will incredible talent. Right off the bat you could tell that they love what they do and they love to do it together. Mahdi and Shima exceeded our expectations Would highly, highly recommend!”

Chelsea Terry Photography

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 cannot say enough good things about Chelsea! I loved working with her and her assistant on the wedding day and leading up to the wedding. As a wedding planner, she made my job easier from start to finish! She was extremely kind and responsive in the months before the wedding. Chelsea was incredibly professional, genuine, and fun to work with on the wedding day not only with me and other vendors but with her couple and their guests. Her ability to make her couples feel at ease is reflected in her gorgeous photos. I highly recommend Chelsea Terry for couples looking for a great addition to your vendor team and to capture one of the best days of your life!”
