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.”

Lemonade Photography

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.”

“Our experience with JL Thomas Photography was incredible. We are so grateful to have booked with Jen. She answered all of our questions and more. With the package we booked for our day, we did the pre wedding shoot, which we used for our save the date invites. Jen was very easy to work with, kind, fun, and non-judgmental. We were very inexperienced with posing as a couple, Jen was very helpful and guided us through the shoot. For the wedding day, she was on time and kept communication going with a zoom meeting a week or two before the wedding and throughout the wedding day. Everyone that met Jen at our wedding complimented, "man, your photographer is so nice!" and we agree! She gave us sneak peek photos of our day very quickly and already we were so impressed! When we got the full photo package, we were in awe! There are so many great moments documented with friends and family. Our couple shots were so well done, and we loved her editing style. I can't brag enough about how we loved our photographer and our photos.”

  • Serves Ilwaco, 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!”

“We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.”

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!

I work with wildly-in-love couples who want their wedding to feel like them: artful, offbeat, deeply intentional. I photograph elopements and micro-weddings with a storytelling lens- capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt. My work blends digital + 35mm film to preserve the honest, unposed, heart-full moments in all their textured, tear-filled, windswept beauty. My couples tend to be nostalgic, a little nontraditional, and full of feeling. If that’s you- you’re in the right place.

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.

“Kate and Josh’s story with us began long before they photographed our wedding. We first met them at a wedding when my now-husband and I weren’t even dating yet. Something about the way we looked at each other caught their attention. They were convinced we’d been together for years. They asked if we’d be willing to do a “fake” engagement shoot with them, and by the time the photos happened, we were officially dating. Fast forward four years, and when we got engaged, there was never a question of who we wanted to photograph our wedding. Kate and Josh were the only choice. And wow, did they deliver. Not only are they incredibly talented photographers with an amazing eye for capturing the perfect shot, but they are also some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. They made us feel comfortable, celebrated, and completely ourselves throughout the entire process. The photos they captured are beyond anything we could have imagined. They preserved not just how our wedding looked, but how it felt: the joy, the emotion, and all the little moments in between. I cannot recommend Kate and Josh highly enough. Whether you’re looking for engagement photos, wedding photography, maternity photos, or any other milestone worth remembering, they will capture it beautifully and leave you absolutely awestruck.”

Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience”

“I asked Leah to be my wedding photographer years before I even met my husband after seeing photos from different weddings I was apart of. Her work is phenomenal. This spring I got married and Leah was our photographer. THE PICTURES WERE PHENOMENAL!! I am still in awe of the beauty and magic Leah captured that day. If you are looking for a photographer that can capture more than a picture…Leah Flores is your photographer.”

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.

“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 !!”

“We loved working with Cecilia Harvard Photography from start to finish. She responded to our questions quickly, which made the planning process so smooth. On our wedding day, Cecilia was incredibly involved and even danced with us to capture those candid moments we'll treasure forever. She made sure we got every shot we wanted and was genuinely sweet to be around. The sneak peeks of our photos already look absolutely stunning, and we can't wait to see the rest. We'd recommend Cecilia to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about their day as much as you do.”

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.”
