I specialize in making space for people to be their authentic selves, and being able to notice and capture those moments when they happen. I work with a simple hourly pricing model, and offer discounts for payment up front, and to LGBTQ+ couples.🏳️‍🌈 My favorite things: nontraditional weddings, getting to include your dog, music, queer and gender nonconforming wedding clothing, beautiful lighting, improvising and making it work on the day©, my tendency to overpack and always have snacks, tools and a first aid kit nearby.

“I had Steve take my art headshots/portraits and I LOVE them. He's a wizard with his equipment and lighting. I don't see myself needing new ones anytime soon. He delivered several different feels and images so I have enough to choose from for several different needs. Highly recommend!”

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.”

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.

“Samantha Gomez Photography made our wedding day so much better. From our first conversation, she was kind and patient with all of our questions, and her funny personality helped keep things light throughout the planning process and on the big day itself. She stayed organized with timelines and details, always responding quickly when we reached out. During the ceremony and reception, Samantha made us feel at ease in front of the camera, which meant we could actually enjoy the moments instead of stressing about poses. Her photos turned out beautiful and we had our sneak peeks back faster than expected. We would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about capturing your day.”

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.”

Their professionalism, creativity, and passion for photography truly shine through in every shot. On the big day, Jennifer was a calming presence, she captured every moment without being intrusive. She has an incredible talent but knowing how to make you feel comfortable, beautiful and not camera shy.

“Mahdi was voted our best vendor at our wedding! By us and by friends that got to know him. From our first phone call I was like, man this guy is cool and relaxed. I'm also pretty relaxed but obviously this can change on your wedding day, so having a laid back photographer was perfect for me. He arrived a bit early to set up and we chatted a bit and he went straight to work and my bridal party loved him right away. I would recommend Mahdi to anyone looking someone to perfectly capture their day or even just capture the moment. You will not find a nicer, more professional, or fun person to help you to remember the most important day of your life.”

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 went above and beyond with our photos and wedding videos. We only had her for a few hours and she was able to capture a lot in a short amount of time. One of the things we liked most about her was the outpouring of positive energy. It made it easier for us to take pictures since we're camera shy. She was such a joy to have on our special day and could not have asked for a better photographer. If you want a photographer who is creative, patient, and detailed-oriented then look no further and hire Eliza!”

After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

“Michaela and I got married on September 6, 2026 at The Madison in Cleveland, and booking Sean was one of the best decisions we made. Before the big day, Sean checked in with several times, making sure our vision would come to life. His attention to detail during these touch points was so appreciated. He did a great job of condensing the things that both my wife and I wanted.  On the day itself, Sean was calm, professional, and genuinely easy to be around. He had a way of making us feel comfortable, so nothing felt stiff or overly posed. He kept things moving without ever making us feel rushed, and he seemed to be everywhere at once. Our guests loved him too! He went out of his way to make sure we got every family photo we wanted, which took a LOT of stress off of us. Family photos can get chaotic, and he handled it like a pro. When we got the gallery, we were blown away. The first look, the toasts, the sunset photos, the dance floor, he nailed every single one. The editing is perfect, but what really got us is that the photos tell the story of our day from start to finish. He caught moments we didn't even know happened, and we've already gone through the whole gallery more times than we can count. If you're looking for a photographer, book Sean. You won't regret it. Thank you, Sean, for giving us memories we'll have forever!”

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.

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 650+ 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.”

“I have used many photographers in the past but none came close to the level of expertise that Leah possesses. Over the years, I've done business headshots with her, family photos, and most recently my wedding. Since I have used Leah's services for other things before, I knew what to expect as far as photo-quality goes; the real testimonial comes from how she handled the wedding. Shooting a wedding in another country with a chaotic family is no easy task, even I wouldn't wish it upon myself, but Leah truly knocked it out of the park: she checked in before the event day to go over the schedule, showed up early, got all of the extra shots that I requested, directed people, and just really took charge of the experience. Having her as my wedding photographer was literally one of the only non-stressful decisions I made for that event lol. The photos turned out beautifully, I really can't imagine having anyone else capture one of the most important events of my life. I recommend her wholeheartedly!!”

My approach in photography is relaxed and lightly guided, leaving room for movement, connection, and images that feel nostalgic and timeless. I’m especially drawn to in-home family sessions — unhurried, familiar, and captured in the spaces where life is already growing. It would be my honor to document your sweet moments with family and loved ones!

“Annette is great she did our engagement photos, I can’t wait for her to do our wedding photos! She is efficient and great at communicating with what you want and what she can do to make it happen and make it better!!”

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.

“I highly recommend Oxy Sakagami Photography to be part of your special day! She really captures natural candid beauty pictures. I am beyond satisfied with the results. Every time I look back at our pictures I feel that moment. Thank you so much Oxy! Thank you for capturing the best day of my life.”

Born and raised in a small town in rural Ohio, I’m now based near Seattle capturing love stories across the PNW and beyond. I’m a cat dad, recently engaged to my beautiful fiancée, and obsessed with honest, artful photography that reflects who you are—not just how things looked, but how they felt. Whether it’s a mountaintop elopement, courthouse “I do,” or backyard celebration with your closest people, I’m here to tell your story in a way that feels true to you.

“Nathaniel was outstanding all around. We started with an engagement session. I wanted photos on the Vashon ferry and at my parents’ house. Nathaniel was willing to hang out with us for 5 hours - taking photos and getting to know us. The photos were outstanding - so sweet, classic, and didn’t feel posed. Then we had Nathaniel do our wedding. He was so helpful through the whole planning process - responsive, and so willing to jump into whatever we needed/wanted. The day of - he captured so much of our day - beyond my expectations. He wasn’t over the top or getting in the way - just blended into our day and produced photos that I absolutely adore. He was so kind to everyone and it really felt comfortable - I didn’t feel awkward even with so many photos. Nathaniel will be our go-to photographer going forward.”

“Hereafter Films was one of the first vendors we booked early on in the wedding planning process, and we are sooooooo glad we did! Ryan and Sharayah were amazing to work with, along with their entire team. They photographed both our engagement session and our wedding day, and honestly, both sets of photos came out better than we could have imagined! Photography was one of the most important parts of our wedding. We really wanted our day to be captured in a way that felt authentic, emotional, and true to who we are, and Hereafter ABSOLUTELY nailed it! We looked at a lot of photographers, but the second we saw their portfolio, we were sold. Their style immediately stood out, and the fact that they shoot 35mm film was huge for us. The Super 8 option was such a fun bonus and made us even more excited about working with them. Their work feels timeless, intentional, and full of real emotion. On the wedding day itself, it felt incredible knowing we didn’t have to worry about a single thing when it came to photography and video. We trusted their creative process 1000%, and they truly made the entire day feel effortless. They handled our family and friends with so much patience, care, and ease, and so many people kept telling us how wonderful they were. Looking through our photos now instantly brings us right back to how the day felt, which is something we’ll always be grateful for. Beyond their obvious talent and artistry, Ryan and Sharayah are just genuinely awesome, laid-back, fun people to be around, and their calm, cool energy made such a difference. We feel incredibly lucky to have had them capture one of the most important days of our lives. 1000000% recommend booking Hereafter Films!”
