Sam and Sola Studio

Des Moines, WA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Hi friends! We are a young husband and wife photog & film team based in Seattle, Washington. We are so honored to capture the love and joy we see in our clients. Our brides and grooms want lasting memories, authentic moments, and of most all, they just want to have FUN! We believe that getting to know our couples is the best way to ensure an awesome experience. We love to hear your story and all of your little quirks. We can't wait to hear from you!

Sam and Sola are the best! We’re not naturally comfortable in front of a camera and almost questioned whether photography was worth the investment (everyone is so expensive!) because of that—but they proved us completely wrong. If anything, people like us need good photographers the most. They made us feel so safe and guided us the entire time, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day. They give really clear direction (there’s definitely a science to posing), and after our engagement session we already felt way more confident. On the wedding day, they were the perfect balance of being present but not intrusive. They caught so many genuine moments, but also stepped in right when we needed help or encouragement. Their team is also amazing at hyping everyone up, which honestly made the whole day feel even better. Something I didn’t expect is how much they helped the flow of the day—they kept us on time without stress and reminded us to actually be present. They would prompt us to slow down, look at each other, and take it all in, which made a huge difference. As the bride, I was really nervous about how I’d look in photos, but Sola was so thoughtful about that during planning that I didn’t even think about it on the day. Looking back at the photos now, I genuinely feel so good about how I look. When we got our gallery, we were blown away. So many beautiful moments, guest reactions, and details we missed—and the editing (lighting and colors) is just stunning. It feels like reliving a really good dream. 100% worth it.

I have been a photographer for 8 years now and I love what I do! Not everyone can say they chose their career at the age of 14 but I feel so lucky enough to say I did. Located in the Seattle/Tacoma area willing to travel anywhere to be your official hype woman!

We had an incredible experience with Allison Lauryn Photography for our wedding! Allison’s professionalism stood out from the start—she clearly knows what she’s doing. I’ve been in weddings where posed photos take hours, but Allison was so efficient and got every shot we wanted in a short amount of time without feeling rushed. The candid photos from the reception are amazing; seeing all the interactions of our guests was such a gift since the day itself was a whirlwind for us. She even accommodated a last-minute request just a week before the wedding to add her photo booth option, which was a huge hit with everyone! Allison communicated clearly, laid out a timeline for photo delivery, and delivered exactly as promised. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Allison Lauryn Photography to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer

From our very first interaction, their communication style was clear, gentle, and direct - putting us completely at ease.

I’m Oxana (Oxy), a Seattle-based wedding and portrait photographer with a documentary heart and an editorial eye. I love capturing weddings the way they truly feel — honest, unposed, and full of quiet in-between moments that often go unnoticed. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, present, and completely yourself in front of the camera. I work best with couples who value connection over perfection and want their photos to feel natural, personal, and deeply intentional.

We hired Oxy for our small courthouse wedding, and we are so happy we did! It ended up being a rainy day, but we wanted our photos outside and Oxy embraced the weather and used it to create the most beautiful classic PNW moody/romantic photos! We are not great in front of the camera, but Oxy made us feel comfortable and caught some great moments of us laughing together and none of our photos felt overly posed (which is want we asked for!). I highly recommend hiring a Oxy for any of your wedding !!

Working with Celene feels like hanging out with a trusted friend—one who is there to capture every meaningful memory, spontaneous moment, and everything in between.

Celene was very communicative and open to my vision of incorporating our wedding day and sharing that story with our daughter. She made us feel comfortable, guiding us through every shot, and the final photos perfectly captured our love and family. Due to a recent family loss, I was overwhelmed with emotions that Celene welcomed warmly. We couldn’t be happier with the memories she helped us create.

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.

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.

Jonathan did an amazing job with our photos. The whole experience from a meeting before to consult about how we wanted the day to go, to easy to follow direction and advice on how to get the best possible pictures on the day. Jonathan is competent and quick but also laid back and helped us take the stress off what is already a very stressful day. And then the photos turned out truly special. Even on an overcast day he was able to create some beautiful photos that will last a lifetime for us. He had ideas for poses and framing but also gave us space to do what felt natural. We would LOVE to work with him again. Cannot recommend him enough

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.

Joe photographed my wedding a couple months ago, and we can’t say enough amazing things about him, honestly, he's a rockstar and so incredibly talented! From the moment we met, he made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and that energy carried through our entire wedding day. Honestly, his vibe and presence were stellar; I instantly thought I could be friends with this guy. Now, to the photos, every single one is pure magic! The way he used light and angles—while seamlessly incorporating the stunning nature of our wedding venue—made every image feel timeless and full of life. His passion for his craft and genuine care shines through in every shot. If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to give you the most stunning, heartfelt, and artistic photos, you've found him! I can't recommend him more. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll cherish these memories forever.

He traveled to Italy for a few days with me, my spouse, my closest friends, and our family, and he left us with the most priceless photo memories. Not only is he a great dance partner and hypeman, he’s also an amazing photographer and his positivity brings a sense of joy to every photo opp. I don’t have all the right words to describe how much his presence meant on our special day but what I can say is- don’t think twice, you’ve found your photographer.

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.

We used Lindsey for our engagement and wedding photos and absolutely loved her! She was so communicative and flexible! One of the spots that we wanted to shoot at wouldn’t allow us to, so she was able to think on her feet and found us a couple of other locations that turned out great! The same thing happened for our first look - there was too much fog at the first location, so she was able to figure out an alternative on a really short timeline! Our pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL and I’d love to use her again for future photography needs!

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I’m inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you’re actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what’s already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. I’m drawn to interesting light, real connection, imperfect details, dramatic environments, and those fleeting moments that happen between everything you thought you were going to photograph.

Caz and Sheldon were amazing to work with! Caz has such an amazing and special vision when it comes to photography and really captured our day to perfection and so beautifully.

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

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.

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It's filled with moments that can never be recreated but you'll want to relive over and over and over again. I am forever grateful for Brynna and these moments that she forever captured so beautifully on our wedding day. She has a special and unique way of capturing moments that many don't notice - peoples' authentic and raw emotions. The moments that shed light to the ambiance and feeling of the room. Not only is Brynna an amazing photographer, she has a genuine, calming spirit and is extremely easy to work with. She is great at understanding your vision and is always open to new ideas! Seriously - Brynna was hands down one of my favorite parts of our day. Thank you for capturing moments that truly make me feel like I'm reliving that day again! I am forever grateful for your work.
