Fun, professional, and unique photos! Mahdi is the best photographer you could ever choose, book him! The photos he takes are flawless, creative, and stunning. He has an incredible eye and a knack for taking amazing candids of even the most camera-shy person. But the real reason we are obsessed with Mahdi, and will be going to him for all our future photography needs, is how wonderful he is to work with. His professional, easy-going nature is so calming through the stress of wedding planning. He is hard-working, very reassuring, easy to talk to, flexible, and dedicated to his clients. Also, we received all of our photos shortly after our wedding which was a nice touch! We are so glad we went with him and we can’t recommend Mahdi enough!! Mahdi, thank you so much for the hard work and care you put into our wedding. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, where your best friends and family will come together. A time that you won’t get back. Let us memorialize it for you, so you can relive it with your grandkids forty years later. Our photos and films capture every moment and will be passed down to your future generations. And anyone that won’t be able to attend your wedding will be able to take part through your wedding photos and video.

JD and Javi were amazing to work with! My fiancé and I had never had professional photos taken together, and they made us feel completely comfortable for an engagement shoot! By taking into account our inspiration shots and helping us to achieve our photo goals via easy prompts, we got back the most beautiful pictures. They even took the time to play music we loved and add a personal touch to the experience. We’d highly recommend working with this team for your photo and video needs!

I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.

Allison and her husband was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day.

On the day of our wedding, when the weather unexpectedly changed and threw off our timeline, Allison remained calm and professional, quickly adapting to the new circumstances and finding creative ways to capture beautiful photos around our venue. She was also a rockstar during the family photo portion of the day, efficiently directing everyone to ensure we got all the necessary shots. Allison's hardworking, organized approach and the high-quality, professional results she delivered made her an incredible value.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked JL Thomas Photography, Jennifer was a dream to work with. Her communication was crystal clear, informative, fun, and friendly throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Jennifer not only prioritized our list of photos, but helped enforce our timeline and herd our guests when they didn't want to be where we needed them. She was a true stress reducer on my wedding day. The quality of her work is exceptional, exceeding our expectations in every way. In all honesty, I always get nervous when other people take pictures of me, thanks to different camera angles and a fluctuating body weight. I was terrified that I would see myself in photos of the most beautiful day of my life, and see myself as less than… but let me tell you, I have never felt more confident in sharing pictures than the ones we received. Jennifer’s tips on posing, feedback in the moment, and constant reassurance built my confidence, and it showed. The sneak peeks we received were absolutely beautiful, and we can’t wait to see the rest. The value of Jennifer's services is incredible - honestly, I think she should charge more, even though I’m glad her packages were within our budget. She felt like a true friend to us, and I cannot recommend her enough. I brag about how amazing she is every time I talk about our wedding - which is a lot. We are so glad we chose her, not only to capture our special day, but to be part of it as well.

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 can't say enough good things about Jane. We hired her for the wedding and boudoir package. She immediately felt like we have known her forever and trying to find vendors for a wedding on the other side of the country was not an easy task. Jane had excellent communication and the photos were even more amazing! She was so fun to be around and made posing for photos the easiest thing ever! I only hope she's still doing this years from now so we can hire her for our future kids photos! Her and her second photographer (Cat) stayed our whole wedding just having fun with us and taking pictures and videos! 10/10 would recommend :)

My goal is to illustrate the feelings of the day through my gallery, so you can relive the day over and over.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the most magical, perfect wedding and one of the most wonderful things about it is I have incredible photos to remember it. I cannot emphasize this enough, if you need a wedding photographer, pick Erin. There are a lot of things I could say about Erin, but I’m going to break it down into two categories: experience and quality. Erin is warm, funny, and a wonderful listener. My husband and I both don’t love photos and from our engagement shoot onward Erin made us feel comfortable, engaged, and like ourselves. She takes extra time and effort to get to know you as a couple and what will and won’t work for you. All of my wedding party and many of my guests have reached out to me to remark on how wonderful, kind, and comfortable Erin made them feel during our wedding. Basically Erin is just amazing as a human and that translates into her being able to create an experience for you that allows you to focus on your event and the love you share with your partner and you never have to worry because you trust Erin will make things work because she understands you. Second, I AM SO BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY OF ERIN’S WORK! Like I knew from her website she’d be great, but looking over the photos we got after the wedding made me realize just how talented Erin is. She captured every moment and emotion so beautifully. I can see the love and joy in every photo. Seriously, I teared up when I looked at some of them because they so reflected how I felt in that moment. These are photos I’m going to look at for years to come and never wonder what was happening or how I felt because they were so well captured. Erin is a magician with her camera and you will not be disappointed for one second by how incredible your photos turn out. Erin is an incredible human and phenomenal photographer. I cannot sing her praises high enough. Hire her. You will not be disappointed and you’ll have your most precious memories captured to perfection.

The thing I hear most from my couples? “You made us feel so comfortable.” Most people don’t love being in front of the camera (totally normal), but that’s where I come in—to help you feel like the best version of yourself while making memories you’ll actually want to hang on your walls. Your wedding photographer is with you through the quiet moments and the chaos, so it matters who you have by your side. With me, you get someone who knows how to read the room, roll with whatever the day brings, and add calm, joy, and confidence to it all.

Working with Jenn Patterson was an absolute joy! I truly appreciate vendors who communicate clearly and go above and beyond — and Jenn does exactly that. From start to finish, she brought such professionalism, creativity, and heart to our wedding at The Corson Building. Jenn has a gift for finding beauty in the smallest details. She took the most subtle elements of our day and made them feel magnificent and deeply significant. The flatlay she created was stunning — a rich, thoughtful collection of pieces she curated and styled with such intention. She arrived early to ensure nothing felt rushed, and throughout the day we had so much fun anticipating moments together — seamlessly aligning to capture them with ease and precision. Her calm energy and artistic eye made the entire experience effortless and memorable. I can’t recommend Jenn enough. She doesn’t just take photos — she tells a story, one filled with emotion, beauty, and meaning.

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!

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.

Chelsea was our wedding photographer, and we loved working with her! We both typically feel a little awkward having our photos taken, but Chelsea really made us feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. She really is a calming presence, and is just super friendly and fun to hang out with. We were so impressed with how our wedding photos turned out, as were all of our friends and family--in addition to getting great portraits of us, she captured so many fun moments from the wedding.

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!

Asking Zoe to photograph our wedding was one of the best wedding decisions we made! Zoe is an artist. We’ll treasure our photos for the rest of our lives. Zoe is definitely the person you want to spend your wedding day with (after your spouse, duh)! She has such a calm and cool demeanor and everyone loved working with her. Zoe will also do whatever it takes to get THE perfect shot. We chose a challenging venue, the Seattle Aquarium, with very specific lighting requirements to protect the sea life. Zoe went out of her way to scope out spots and test equipment before the big day. Zoe is so creative when it comes to lighting and all of our wedding guests have been gushing about how cool her photos are.
