We feel so fortunate to have worked with Shawn and cannot recommend him enough! He was able to document us in celebration with photos that are candid and fun. Each photograph not only told a story but resonated with the emotions we felt in those moments. He captured our story, our vibe – everything. It was like having a friend capturing your day.

Laura Waldron Photography

Seattle, WA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,750

Bright and colorful wedding photographer based in Chicago and Seattle but available to capture the nostalgia of your wedding day no matter where you live. I'm passionate about your story, personality, and vision.

Before finding a photographer, you do a lot of research to find someone who fits your needs. I was impressed with her website -which has information about her experience and portfolios. She was fantastic from beginning to end, as she made us feel at ease -so our smiles came naturally. She was extremely patient and took phenomenal pictures in the most breath-taking locations. Not only that, but we were shocked at how fast we received our proofs. I would recommend Laura to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Erin Witt Photography

5.0

Seattle, WA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Your wedding is about you and all the amazing people there to celebrate. While I can take some Instagram-worthy portraits, I spend the majority of my time at weddings capturing all the little moments going on throughout the busy day. I want to capture the wedding in a way so when you get the images, you relive the story and feel how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Erin enough!! As a planner myself, I've worked with many great photographers, but when I got engaged, I knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding. Not only is her work stunning and reflective of each couple, but she's so FUN to work with. As a couple who hates getting their photo taken, Erin knew how to make us comfortable throughout the entire day. I will forever be grateful for making the decision to hire Erin!!

Oh hey, it’s me, Kayla! The face behind La Luna Photo. I’m a 28-year-old photographer who just recently moved to the Pacific Northwest. I’ve been dreaming of moving to this area since I was a kid! The forest and mountains have a special place in my heart. I can't wait to meet you and see what we come up with together!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kayla has done the most incredible work for me and my partner, I have never felt more comfortable in front of a camera and I have never felt that a photographer had captured the essence of my partner and I in the way Kayla does. Her work is something I will treasure for my whole life. Couldn’t recommend her more. 10 stars.

Wedding Photo and Video | Larissa Mae Productions

5.0

Seattle, WA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,999

My filmmaking journey has taken me all over the world, from Japan to Iceland, creating a wide variety of promo videos, real estate walkthroughs, graduation stories, and short documentaries. However, my true passion has always resided in capturing love stories. For the last seven years I’ve focused all my passion on capturing the unique and intimate moments on wedding days.

I hired Larissa to shoot a video for me and she surpassed every expectation. As a professional myself, when I hire someone to shoot for my business, it means that I'm giving them the utmost trust because they are representing the business that takes care of my family. I gave that trust to Larissa and she blew me away with her professionalism, kindness, eye for detail, technical knowledge, and fun to be around personality. As a professional wedding photographer and videographer myself, I would hire her in a heart beat to shoot my own wedding and that is saying something. She is worth every penny and then some and I look forward to working with her again.

Normandy Park, WA
  • Classic style

I'm not a Seattle native, but I love this city. This is the city where I fell in love and got married. This is the city where both of my daughters were born. Whether you are a native or transplant, I want to tell your love story. Whether it is a specific location you love, a moment you want to recreate, or new memories you're making, your story and everyone in it is something that deserves to be captured. My business is about capturing all of the moments of life, large and small, and helping you tell that story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Coty took our photos on our little civil ceremony and we couldn't be happier!! She's very friendly, responsive, professional, flexible and most importantly her photos are really beautiful. Our immediate families weren't able to join us in person (thanks, COVID) so it means a lot to have the day documented in beautiful photos. I 1000% recommend her for your important events. Thanks so much Coty!

Hi, I'm Dawna! I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, currently calling Seattle my home. I enjoy traveling, Beyonce, the great outdoors, music, the sun, shooting film, and obviously photographing people & the places I go. I started pursuing photography when I was 14 after a family trip to Alaska! I've been doing weddings for over ten years now, my first wedding also being in Alaska! :)

We got to work with Dawna all the way from engagement photos to wedding ceremony pictures and even videography. She offers amazing photography packages and delivers high quality work on time. It was super easy to work with her and communication was always on point. Nadine and I are really happy we chose to go with Dawna, and we are looking forward to her shooting our reception in 2021. Highly recommend working with her!

I’m Lessie, a Tacoma-Seattle wedding and elopement photographer. I believe that real love inspires. I focus on intimate wedding photography for down-to-earth PNW couples that want organic, soulful weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lessie is the most compassionate, easy to communicate with , professional photographer I have ever had the joy of working with. Lessie has a skill set the surpasses many others, her attention to detail, her willingness to try new things and her commitment to the highest quality photos and experience for all who have the honor of booking with her is unprecedented. Lessie was patient with me as I asked many questions and ended up needing a few days to determine if she was a good fit for our wedding and my gosh I am so grateful we booked with her! Lessie has a soul that is so invested in producing authenticity that many photos seem to lack. She gently coaches you through posed photos with a true air of expertise and ease. She also had the flawless ability to capture moments that may otherwise be lost somewhere in memory alone. Moments such as family members dancing, the bride and groom sharing an intimate look and smile or your favorite uncle grabbing one too many from the bar! Lessie captures life and gives life to all she meets. Booking with her will guarantee your photos will be more than you could ever dream. She will be our go to for the rest of our lives!

Sarah Anne Photography

Black Diamond, WA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,500

Hey Franz, Sarah here! I'm a wine-drinking-Taylor-Swift-singing-Golden-Hour-loving-cat-lady and I cannot wait to meet you! I've had a camera in my hand for well over a decade and honestly, this job just keeps getting better! I love living in Seattle because (call me crazy) I actually enjoy a good rainy day, snuggled up for a Netflix and Chill sesh. I also love the deep diversity and support for the love of all kinds that we have here and that I am honored to capture with my camera. I cannot wait to witness your love story and gift you back your memories in the form of photographs.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a million wonderful things I can say about Sarah! From the moment we met I knew she’d be a calming presence to have around for our wedding. A few months after getting her booked for our wedding date, we did an engagement shoot in downtown Seattle. We wanted to use a parking garage that we love, (sounds odd I know. But such a great view!) and Sarah made it look beautiful. But most importantly she made CJ comfortable being photographed without being goofy. Those photos turned out perfect. Fast forward to a few months ago.... as a 2020 Bride.... with everything that has been happening this year, Sarah was very straightforward about what was required for her to be able to shoot our special day. I respect her so so much for following the law’s and guidelines around photography and only operating when allowed! We lucked out and the phases lined up so Sarah could capture our day. Everything had been uprooted, changed, and forced to adapt several times over. When all of that is happening... the best thing a bride can ask for is an above & beyond vendor! She was punctual, for arrival and thought-out the day. She helped in so many ways that aren’t in her job description & I couldn’t be more grateful for that. When everything had to be canceled and re-planned, you’d be amazed @ what falls through the cracks. But she helped us wade through all of it! The photo preview we received the day after the wedding made my heart sing. She captured so many moments perfectly, I honestly don’t know how she scoots around for different angles so quickly. If you are lucky enough that Sarah is available for your preferred date.. snag her! She was a joy to be around and her presence will be a welcomed light & stress reliever on your special day!

Adina Stiles Photography

5.0

Maple Valley, WA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,400

I like to live by the motto: “Well behaved women seldom make history.” My grandmother used to tell me this regularly. I am passionate about photography as it's a way to capture memories of special moments and events of our lives. I have maybe 5 images of my grandmother because she was always the one trying to take the pictures. I wish I had a few more. Photography is an art that I love to offer. I love that I can use photography as a gift to couples and I want them to be able to look back on their wedding as the best day ever.

If you are looking for someone who is truly passionate about what they do, Then you will want to hire Adina! From the moment she was recommended to me, I fell in love with her work and I knew that I wanted her to capture our wedding. She was supportive throughout the entire process, talking with me when I had questions and gave me advice about anything and everything I was unsure about. On the day of the wedding, Adina and her second shooter, Alana were wonderful! They were very attentive to our vision and had great ideas to help us capture the moments we wanted. We love our wedding photos and the magical way in which Adina captured our big day! I could not recommend Adina enough!
