  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Elma, WA

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.

U&P Studio is a wedding photography duo based in Washington State. We specialize in capturing real emotions, natural moments, and timeless love stories in an honest, unobtrusive way. Our approach is calm and photojournalistic, with a touch of editorial style — allowing couples to fully enjoy their day while we document it as it naturally unfolds. We focus on genuine connection, meaningful details, and the moments you may not even realize are happening. We believe wedding photography should feel effortless and stress-free, resulting in images that bring you back to how your day truly felt, not just how it looked.

We had our wedding last September, and Viktoriia and Oleksander (u&p studio) were our photographers—they truly ended up being our favorite vendor from the entire experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsible, attentive, and professional, always prioritizing our preferences and making sure every detail aligned with our vision. We absolutely love how our photos turned out. The quality is exceptional, with a refined, artistic touch in both composition and editing. Their use of professional cameras and lenses captured stunning details and genuine moments that we will cherish forever. What stood out most was their flexibility and dedication—whenever we had specific requests or ideas, they were more than happy to accommodate and bring them to life seamlessly. They created such a comfortable and positive atmosphere, which made the entire photography experience feel natural and enjoyable. We also received so many compliments from our guests about them. Viktoriia and Oleksander are not only talented photographers but also warm, kind, and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a team that is creative, reliable, and truly invested in making your day special, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Lemonade Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Elma, WA

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.

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.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Elma, WA

As an artist in the 21st century, I am overwhelmed by all that we cannot trust. The landscapes are edited, the portraits are airbrushed, and the legitimacy of what we see on social media is anyone's guess. That's why it is my passion and life pursuit to capture our most precious things in life - our loves, our families, our unrepeatable moments - in the most true-to-life and timeless way possible. I live for the unguarded moments that take our breath away. If you want to capture this time in your life in all its perfect authenticity, it's my job and my joy to capture the soul of these things for you to hold in time forever.

Eliza is an amazing photographer and such a joy to work with! I’m naturally awkward and pretty camera-shy, but she has such a warm, calming presence that made us feel completely at ease and it was all so much fun! My husband and I eloped at Whidbey Island last month, and Eliza went above and beyond to capture us just as we are—giggly, in love, and fully in the moment. From the start, she was incredibly thoughtful. During our first phone call, Eliza gave us helpful advice and suggested locations that fit what we were looking for. Since we weren’t from the area (we're from Austin, Texas), her suggestions were so appreciated! We ended up choosing Ebey’s Landing based on her recommendation, and it was absolutely stunning. The short hike to the spot was totally worth it for the breathtaking views! The photos Eliza took are incredible—better than anything we could have imagined. They look like something out of a romantic gothic novel, and we can’t stop looking at them! Her attention to detail really stood out too. When she delivered the photos, she also mailed us an engraved flash drive and a handwritten note in a beautiful case. It was such a thoughtful touch! We’ll treasure these photos forever, and we’re so grateful to Eliza for capturing such special memories. If you’re looking for a photographer, I can’t recommend her enough—you’ll be in great hands!

Morgan is an exceptional photographer with so much talent and care for her craft. From day one, she was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and organized. Working with her was so easy and straightforward. She told us exactly what she needed from us, and she was always prompt with her communication. We loved working with Morgan for so many reasons, but her thoughtfulness, sincerity, and flexibility are particular memorable. Especially with all the chaos that comes with the wedding, it was refreshing to have Morgan be in charge of our photos, because she kept a cool demeanor and was easy going, but prescriptive. Beyond her professionalism and personality, my family, friends, and I are absolutely stunned by how beautiful our photos came out. The photos were creative while maintaining timeless elegance. Morgan's expertise with outdoor photography was perfect for our venue because we had a lot of natural sunlight come through our space since we had a lot of windows. I truly cannot express how thankful I am that Morgan was our photographer. I wish we could have another vent just to have her do more photography for us! Her turn around time was extremely reasonable as well!

My work blends digital + 35mm film to preserve the honest, unposed, heart-full moments in all their textured, tear-filled, windswept beauty.

Kate and Josh Gansneder are a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Snohomish, WA. Together they have documented 640+ weddings across Seattle and Snohomish County over 15 years. Couples consistently describe working with them as feeling like having a trusted friend there, not a vendor - someone who knew what they needed before they did, made them feel calm on a day that could have been overwhelming, and cared about the whole experience not just the photographs. Camera-shy couples forget the camera exists. Families get through formals fast so everyone can get to the party.

From our first conversation with Kate at GSquared Weddings Photography, we knew we'd made the right choice. She kept us in the loop with timely messages throughout our planning process and even sent helpful articles to guide us along the way. On our wedding day, Kate showed up prepared for anything—she had red wine wipes on hand, kept our timeline running smoothly, and navigated some tricky family moments with grace and humor. Her eye for candid, dynamic shots really shines in our photos, capturing the raw joy and emotion of the day without feeling posed. Kate anticipated our needs before we even realized we had them, which let us focus on enjoying every second. We can't recommend GSquared Weddings Photography enough.

Shooting with them literally feels like hanging with your best friends. They were an absolute joy from start to finish, but it was Sharayah’s attention to detail and artistic eye that impressed me above all else. It was inspiring to feel like we were all creating art together, and the photos don’t lie! Our engagement shoot went viral on Instagram, and we got hundreds of comments saying, “these are literally the best engagement photos I’ve ever seen.” I too, agree with that sentiment, but I have to give credit to Hereafter’s vision and execution because they NAILED it. As a team, they’re both extremely communicative and organized, professional yet relaxed in the way they interacted with us and our guests. No one has ever made me feel so comfortable in front of a camera. Additionally, their digital color grading is meticulously adjusted to match 35mm film with incredibly accuracy. They perfectly captured the magic of our special day. We booked them for the whole package - engagement shoot, wedding photos, and wedding video with super 8 film. Their understanding of my vision was remarkable…Hereafter managed to romanticize every single detail in a profound way. The photos are so special to us because each one feels like a standalone piece of art. They went above and beyond for us in every capacity, even going so far as to drive me to the venue on my wedding day when things ran late! We cannot recommend Hereafter Films highly enough. Book them immediately! I promise you, they are worth every single penny and more.

From start to finish, JayDee and his team at Pluvia Studios were nothing short of exceptional! JayDee's attentive and thorough communication made navigating my sister's wedding preparations an absolute breeze. On the big day, he ensured our entire group felt completely relaxed and genuinely at ease, a testament to his clear vision and the team's seamless execution. The moment we received the notification that our photos and videos were ready, our excitement was palpable. Viewing them filled us with tears of joy and overwhelming love, as each beautifully captured memory transported us right back to the wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend JayDee and Pluvia Studios to anyone seeking top-quality photography and videography to capture their most cherished moments.

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 !!
