“Liz Kellerman Makeup was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the very first interaction, Liz's communication style was kind, genuine, and incredibly responsive. She made my day extra special by being a calm and kind presence, and she connected with everyone so seamlessly. The quality of Liz's work was truly stunning - my makeup looked high-quality, natural, and was long-lasting throughout the entire day. I had a wonderful makeup trial with Liz before our big day, and knowing that we had to take a ferry to get to our wedding venue, she offered if there was anything she could help with or pickup for our big day she'd be more than happy to which was incredibly sweet and thoughtful! I cannot recommend Liz Kellerman Makeup enough - she helped make our wedding day perfect in every way.”

“Where do I even begin? Sarah is not just my wedding planner, Sarah has become of my friends through this months-long wedding planning process. When I first reached out to SGS Events, Sarah sent me a questionnaire that made it clear she wanted to get to know me and my fiancé on a personal level. Sarah is professional, while being open. She is calm, while assertive when necessary. She leads with her heart and this is shown in the work she does. Sarah went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our day what it was. From venue changes to guest count changes to typical family drama and more, Sarah handled each pivot and new challenge with patience and understanding. What began as a 30 person dinner turned into a 55 person welcome party, ceremony, reception, and after party. Sarah is the reason it went off without a hitch. Her communication with me was so natural. She was always quick to respond to emails and sending voice memos helped keep us both updated throughout the busier times of planning. Planning with Sarah didn't feel like a chore, but an experience. This is what I desired as I wanted to be a little more in the weeds on design stuff, but I know Sarah could easily handle all of the design herself. She has a beautiful eye for decor and detail. We were working with a brand new venue and Sarah basically worked with the venue to create brand new spaces that fit our vision. Sarah designed a new ceremony space in a wooded area on the property and a custom reception space on the lawn. She also designed our table-scapes using pre-owned decor that she sourced (she has a passion for sustainability that aligned so well with my values). She is also a talented florist and did the florals for our rehearsal dinner. We got so many compliments on everything. I mean, Sarah simply nailed it. I can't say this enough. On top of all of this, Sarah is just a beautiful person. Inside and out, her passion and kindness shines through. She simply loves people and she cares for her couples deeply. As an Indian bride, I felt so seen by her. Her Mexican heritage and traditions brought an inherent empathy for fusion and international couples and the unique challenges and situations multi-cultural weddings entail. My advice to other couples: 1) Hire the vendors Sarah recommends. She knows her stuff and things are smoother when your vendors know and trust each other. She recommended our caterer and it was hands down the best wedding food we've ever had. She has so many amazing contacts. 2) Try to hire Sarah before you even have a venue picked. She can help you scout it helps when your vendors already know the location. 3) You almost certainly need more than a day-of coordinator. I can't imagine going through all of this without Sarah, and I "only" held a micro-wedding. Hands-down the best money we spent on our wedding was Sarah.”

Hi, I’m Samantha! I’m a Washington-based photographer with a love for documenting people exactly as they are. For me, wedding photography is about so much more than taking pretty pictures. It’s about preserving the way your day actually felt — the nerves before the ceremony, the happy tears, the laughter, the people you love, and all of those little moments happening in between. My approach is relaxed, genuine, and centered around connection. I’ll give you direction when you need it, but I also leave plenty of room for you to simply be together and enjoy your day.

“We booked Samantha Gomez Photography for our elopement and couldn't be happier with our choice. From the start, Samantha was quick to respond to our questions and gave us clear answers about what to expect on the big day. She has a respectful approach to her work and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even when we were nervous. During the wedding, she went with the flow and kept the mood light, which helped everyone relax and have fun. She came prepared with pose ideas and gave good directions so we didn't have to stress about how to position ourselves. Her professional photos capture the moments that matter, and I’d recommend her to those looking for someone who can capture the moments without making it feel stressful.”

I am so glad you found your way here! My name is Steph (it's lovely to meet you!). I was born and raised overseas in Sri Lanka and moved to the beautiful PNW for college and decided to stay. The world and the people in it are too beautiful not to be art - so here we are creating art out of the beautiful moments you and your lives bring into being. Besides taking photos, I am a big fan of milk tea, hedgehogs, my kid and husband, sleeping in, summer, curry, and friends to share it with. I would love to hear more about you and your story and how I can help document some of your beautiful moments!

“From the moment we first spoke with Stephanie, I knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Stephanie's warm and thoughtful communication style immediately put us at ease, and her clear passion for her craft was evident. On the day of our wedding, Stephanie's keen eye and intuitive approach allowed her to seamlessly capture the emotion and spirit of the occasion, far beyond just the aesthetic details. She was a true professional, tirelessly focused on immortalizing the special moments between my husband and I, as well as all of our guests. I’ve sent so many photos to others who were in attendance and they’re shocked at the moment captured. There have been more than a few photos that just bring us to tears in her ability to just be there at the right time…and you’d never know it! She’s wonderfully stealth in her craft. Stephanie's fun and encouraging presence made her feel like part of our group, fitting right in. No meaningful moment was missed. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that now allow us to relive the day, and we wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to any couple seeking a responsive, talented, and truly thoughtful wedding photographer. We would happily be a reference for anyone wanting more details.”

“We had our wedding at White Lotus on August 9th and could not have been happier with how everything turned out! The venue is amazing—the backdrop is stunning, there are so many beautiful spots to appreciate throughout the site, and it is extremely private! We received numerous compliments from guests during the day of our wedding about choosing such a beautiful setting; we even had a friend mention that his fiancée was so in love with the venue that she wanted to have their wedding at White Lotus! The owners, Niall and Natalie, are amazing people and were SO accommodating and positive throughout the entire experience! They are extremely kind, welcoming, flexible, and helpful, and were always responsive, whether it was hours, days, weeks, or months from the wedding. We were so lucky to work with individuals who cared about our wedding experience and encouraged us to be creative with our setup at their site, instead of having a pre-determined setup we had to follow. This is a great venue for any couple, but it is especially perfect for those with a specific wedding vision or those who want to customize their experience to fit their wants and needs! It is a breathtaking setting that is essentially a blank slate (with plenty of amenities to take advantage of!) that allows couples to really have an experience tailored to themselves! We could not have possibly picked a better venue for us! Definitely 5 stars... we recommend considering White Lotus for your wedding!”

“You'll get so much more than you pay for when you get the floral package from Courter Country Farm. Not only does Denise have nearly every flower and color available for the special day, but if you plan ahead of the seed ordering season, she can make sure she has your exact wedding color palette–as close as nature allows. And your wedding isn't an afterthought for Denise; she hand-selects and starts prepping the flowers in advance so they'll be in perfect condition when you're ready to say "I do." I was able to watch firsthand three different weddings, and the care and attention she gave each party makes me confident in recommending Courter Country Farm. The little extras she includes mean you'll get full, beautiful bouquets, corsages, table arrangements, arch decor, and aisle urns–all created with love.

I never meant to be a wedding photographer - but somehow, here I am. I started my career as a newspaper reporter, and left that to be a writer and photographer for a public university. Almost 10 years into my second career, I was laid off - so I turned some pretty sour lemons into Lemonade Photography. I'm a lifelong Northwesterner, a mom to two boys, a nature lover, a proud geek and quite possibly the biggest Harry Potter fan you'll ever meet (don't challenge me to a Potter trivia contest; you WILL lose). I love to laugh, and I love to make my clients laugh along with me.

“Highly recommend working with Lemonade Photography! Our wedding was 5 years ago and we still have fond memories of working with Jill. She was great at capturing the feel we wanted, is super friendly, and easy to work with. Her communication is excellent, and you will feel very taken care of.”

“We cannot recommend her enough. She was AMAZINGGGG! From the very beginning, she brought such positive, warm, and genuinely joyful energy to the entire process. It honestly felt like she was there as a family member who was so excited to celebrate with us, rather than a vendor we had hired. She was so fun, bubbly, and had the most infectious energy! She came to our rehearsal and was prompt, incredibly helpful, calming, and such a joy to have there. She immediately eased our nerves and made sure we felt completely prepared. She answered every question we had and made the entire process feel so easy and organized. She also went above and beyond in so many little ways. She gave us a folder with a copy of our ceremony script, a beautifully typed copy of the prayer that was read during our ceremony, and took such good care of our vows. She checked in with us throughout the entire process, was always available to help with questions, and even took the time to look over our vows individually to make sure we were on the same wavelength while still keeping them personal and meaningful to each of us. On our wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable, supported, and celebrated. You could genuinely tell how happy she was for us, and that made the ceremony feel even more special. If you are looking for an officiant, seriously, look no further. We could not recommend her enough. She is organized, thoughtful, incredibly caring, and just an absolute joy. We are so grateful she was part of our wedding day!”

“Annaliesa (and mark) went above and beyond. They helped us set up and break down. Anna was determined to get things done to the point we had to actually make her stop and eat. She cleared out chair to make a dance floor. She even helped with our kids while we were running around and getting ready. Mark even made me a plate of food and made me sit down to eat in the middle of all the chaos. Which I really appreciated. They were on top of everything! And she got all of our pics back to us in less than 24 hours!! We love all our pics and are so thankful we have these memories captured.”

Special events can become a cluster of stressful tasks to keep up with, from the flowers, food & drinks, to the venue, photographers, and decor. For these reasons, CME Experience is here to lend a hand in all of your event planning responsibilities.

“Chloe is truly one of a kind, and we feel so lucky we got to work with her. She planned our backyard wedding in under 5 months and made the entire process feel smooth, stress-free, and even fun! From the very start, she kept us on schedule, recommended amazing vendors, and took over all the vendor communication—which was a huge weight off our shoulders. She is so knowledgeable and gives the best advice! Her knowledge of the area and local policies was super helpful, and she even gave us clear instructions for getting our marriage license. She even let us borrow candles, cameras, and other beautiful items from her inventory and took things off our plate at every turn. Chloe was truly a joy to work with. She made us feel so comfortable, confident, and at ease. On the day of the wedding, we had zero worries—we knew Chloe and her team had everything under control. Thanks to her, we were really able to just be present and enjoy every moment. She is a true gem, and we’re endlessly grateful for her care, calm, and creativity. Would 100000000% recommend CME Experience!! There honestly would have been no wedding without her haha”

“Carolyn was amazing for our day. We had our trial a couple of months before the wedding and it went perfectly. On the day of she was very receptive to any changes and was willing to fix anything needed. Very kind and calm, I messed up and forgot to communicate that our timeline had moved up and she handled it incredibly well and got all 7 girls done in a timely manner and did an amazing job. All of the makeup held up great and I even got a little touch up kit! Highly recommend.”
