Justin really nailed it. He was flexible, easy to reach, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He has a gift for capturing both the big moments and the little details, and his candid shots feel timeless. Beyond his talent, he brought kindness to our guests and patience when challenges came up. I still get endless compliments on our wedding photos. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, I couldn’t recommend Justin more.

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.

I'm Olha - a Seattle-based wedding photographer with a European eye and a quiet obsession with timeless elegance. My aesthetic is rooted in the European tradition of restraint and refinement. No forced smiles, no overlit flash, no chasing trends. Instead: soft natural light, deliberate composition, and an unhurried presence that lets your day unfold with grace. I work with couples who care deeply about beauty - in the details, in the atmosphere, in the way a moment is held. My images don't shout. They endure. Based in Washington State, I photograph intimate celebrations and grand affairs alike - always with discretion, always with intention.

We had such an amazing experience with Olha! She made us feel super comfortable, and the whole shoot was just easy and fun. The photos turned out sooo beautiful - soft and emotional. She really captured the vibe perfectly. Highly recommend!

I’m Lyndsey Greene, a Seattle-based, award-winning wedding and elopement photographer crafting intentional, nostalgic stories that celebrate each couple’s unique connection. With over six years of experience, I specialize in intimate, heartfelt celebrations rooted in honesty and meaning. As a mother, partner, and designer, I bring warmth and soul to every frame. I proudly support LGBTQ+ clients and love working with those who value authenticity over tradition.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lyndsey has been excellent in shooting our engagement photos and wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better and more down-to-earth photographer! She excelled in her promise of capturing realistic, documentary-style photographs of our special day, and we feel so honored to have timeless memories for a lifetime. She is funny, relatable, and able to handle the busyness of both wedding day and travel. From our private vows (from afar), to a rainy summer day of engagement photos, and a beautiful and jam-packed wedding day, Lyndsey has delivered meaningful and intimate photos we are proud to have hanging all over our home. Even with big families and a bigger wedding than we originally wanted, we got portraits of our most cherished people, kept our sanity (and were able to stay connected to each other) on a busy day, prioritize OUR wedding dreams, and felt supported through every step of planning. Lyndsey went above and beyond to keep the show rolling when we needed support and direction, and we are forever grateful for her making our day (and capturing it) in such a beautiful memory. Thankful for your skill and expertise 3

I like to think of myself as a professional Washingtonian. Born and raised, the PNW is in my blood and my soul. Next to the PNW and Photography, love is my passion. I know, I know! That sounds so terribly cheesy. But I’ve been fully OBSESSED since childhood. I believe in the power of love, I believe in the power of YOUR love. Hearing the stories of the couples I meet- excuse me while I cry- is so unexplainably powerful. I can’t imagine a more fulfilling job than this one- one that allows me to build genuine relationships with incredible people, create a comfortable environment to be creative together, and celebrate each other’s weird!

We worked with Janelle throughout our wedding for both our Engagement and Wedding photography and were so pleased with the results! Her style is elegant, clean, and airy and, while she's so happy to execute specific photos and shots one your wish lists, she's also excellent at allowing you to move throughout the day freely and capture the small, lovely moments in between. We had a 150-person wedding at the Center for Urban Horticulture, which is a large, spread-out venue, and Janelle and her team were always where we needed them to be, capturing all of the special moments of our day! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for weddings, portraits, and everything in between!

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 !!

To be perfectly honest, I love what I do. I'm damn good at it. I have dabbled in all sorts of jobs but I kept coming back to the camera. It feels really good to take the craft that I love so much and share it. The scope of my photography is wide but I specialize in weddings and elopements. I've been photographing weddings since 2005. I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with. Having a phone or zoom chat or meeting in person is a good move!

Awarded Best of Zola
Autumn is an incredible photographer, and also just an all around great person. From our initial consult, to our wedding day, and after, she was always prompt in responding and friendly. The day of the wedding she made us, and everyone she photographed, feel so relaxed and at ease. The way she can capture light and color in an image is stunning. Guests commented after how awesome she was to interact with at the wedding. We we finally got our completed gallery, we were blown away by the images, and so happy that she was able to capture the day for us. She is an incredible photographer and an absolute rock star.

No matter who you are or where you came from, everyone has a story, and stories were meant to be told. I tell stories through photography. Weddings are incredibly meaningful and intimate. I’m not just someone with a camera who shows up and takes pictures. I believe in truly connecting and engaging with my clients so I can best understand how I can tell their story. With a bright, clean, and vibrant photography style, I help bring my client’s vision to life through beautiful photos that can be cherished forever.

Jonathan did an amazing job with our photos. The whole experience from a meeting before to consult about how we wanted the day to go, to easy to follow direction and advice on how to get the best possible pictures on the day. Jonathan is competent and quick but also laid back and helped us take the stress off what is already a very stressful day. And then the photos turned out truly special. Even on an overcast day he was able to create some beautiful photos that will last a lifetime for us. He had ideas for poses and framing but also gave us space to do what felt natural. We would LOVE to work with him again. Cannot recommend him enough

I believe that everyone is beautiful. Somewhere deep within you, there is a fire of light and joy. Not everyone’s light shines in the same way or with the same strength or even all the time. Stuff changes. People are different, but deep down, everyone is connected to the little bit of themselves that is truly theirs. I’m also all about being adventurous. That could mean we’re going to go climb a mountain or it might mean we’re going to try the really spicy chai tea. By experiencing life in the process of making photos, you’re going to be even more connected to the images because they will have stories that go along with them.

We cannot say enough good things about Joe! From the moment we met him, he blended seamlessly into the experience, capturing the most genuine and heartfelt moments of our elopement without ever forcing anything or making us feel like we were "posing." It felt like he was part of the natural flow of the day, which made the entire experience so comfortable and laid-back. Joe’s professionalism truly shone through. He worked around our unique timeline and even managed to photograph at two different locations without a hitch! We never felt pressured, rushed, or uncomfortable. He made the entire process smooth and enjoyable especially for us not being super comfortable in front of a camera. But the real magic happened when we received our photos. We were completely speechless! It felt like we were reliving every moment again—pinching ourselves that those incredible images were actually of us. Joe captured the essence of our love so beautifully, we couldn’t believe how perfect every shot was. We appreciate his thoughtfulness in the delivery of images with a special gift and keeping this secret off social media until we were ready to share. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a photographer who can turn your special moments into stunning memories. He has a rare gift of capturing love as it truly is. Thank you, Joe!

I'm a wedding photographer who cares just as much about how it felt as how it looked. I’m drawn to real connection, quiet in-between moments, and all the chaos and joy in between. I bring a calm, grounded energy that helps people relax, whether I’m goofing off with your wedding party or hanging back to document the magic as it unfolds. My style is part documentary, part editorial, and all heart.

Lindsey is amazing! We worked with her for our engagement photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier. She listened to all our wish list items for location and came up with several ideas. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoot since we had never gotten professional photos before. Plus - our location was pretty far away from Seattle and we had a blast getting to know each other in the car ride to and from the location. Highly recommended!

Emily has a wonderful, warm, and flexible personality. She made everyone comfortable and added a sense of joy to my son's wedding! And now we've received the sneak peek (less than one week after the wedding) and they are truly wonderful!! They capture the joy and beauty of the occasion. I give Emily my strongest recommendation!

Julie Morgan from Sound & Sea Photography gave me the photo session of my dreams. Her expertise and attention to detail left me worry and anxiety free. Being from out of state, we were able to connect via phone and zoom. I gave her my vision and some details i wanted to incorporate and BOY DID SHE DELIVER!!!! She gave me plenty of site options to choose from, and all were exactly what i was looking for. We narrowed it down to distance and ease to locate since we were traveling with little ones. She considered everyone and everything. Her outlook and sense of direction really made the absolute difference. She took factors of the elements, snow, sun, shade, fog, light and gave us the most beautiful moments. Even capturing the little candid moments with the kids and my new husband were so heart warming. She saw what I didn't see. She positioned us in ways that were both flattering and fun! She had the best pricing but and the best accommodations. I would definitely recommend a thousand times!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so so happy we got our wedding photos from Brynna! I genuinely mean this because of a couple of reasons. She was very understanding about our schedule. We are from out of town, my husband was coming back from deployment right before, and with covid thrown in she was very flexible with scheduling and professional when dealing with us. The photoshoot itself went very well! My husband and I had never taken professional photos before and she not only made us feel at ease but she was able to show our personality in our photos while also making us look GOOD. It was a very fun day taking photos and that showed in the product- they turned out better than I could have hoped for. This brings me to my last point- the photos genuinely are amazing and everything I wanted. I don't typically review things like this on the internet but everything about this experience exceeded expectations and I honestly just wanted to give her that recognition. I would definitely recommend Brynna and I hope this review helps you in your decision in choosing a wedding photographer!!

I am a Washington Elopement Photographer who specializes in adventure elopements and intimate weddings. I help couples plan a stress-free, epic elopement in the mountains while photographing their big day. I offer local resources and vendor recommendations for adventurous couples who want to ditch walking down the aisle and instead get hitched on a mountain

I am so glad that we chose Cherlyn to be our elopement photographer. Cherlyn has an amazing amount of mountain experience and local knowledge of Washington trails. She also has many outdoor technical skills, so she can join you for more adventurous activities - she joined us on a glacier climb! You can count on her to know the best spots to elope, best times to elope, and the current conditions at your planned elopement location as well as a number of other backup locations. Before the big day, she provided us with super thorough packing lists, created realistic timelines for the day which helped with our planning, and even helped us navigate uncertain weather forecasts and pick some backup locations the day before we were supposed to elope. Communication was always easy and thorough. We did a backpacking elopement with a few friends and I loved how Cherlyn fit right into our group. It felt so fun and natural to have her with us. She was constantly running around to get tons of different shots. She was working hard! Our photos turned out so beautiful and perfectly captured the essence of the trip. The lighting, the composition, the vibes of each photo - everything just feels right. My husband and I were so happy the entire trip with our friends and Cherlyn, and I’m so glad to have such wonderful photos to remind me of that experience.

Hi, I’m Alexander—a Seattle-based wedding and event photographer and Best of The Bash award winner. Since 2023, I’ve photographed 60+ weddings and dozens of events, capturing genuine emotions and real moments that couples can relive for years to come. My approach is relaxed and natural so you can enjoy your day while I document it authentically. I offer wedding and event photography starting at $500, professional editing, digital delivery, and Photo Booth rentals to add a fun, interactive experience for your guests.

Alex captured one of the most meaningful moments in my life so perfectly, I still can’t believe how beautiful the photos turned out. My going-away shoot was emotional and bittersweet, and he somehow translated all of that into images that feel so real and timeless. Beyond his incredible eye, Alex is just an amazing person to work with—so easygoing, personable, and genuinely invested in making you feel comfortable and confident. Nothing felt forced, and that’s exactly why the photos feel so authentic. If you want someone who can truly capture a moment and not just take pictures, Alex is your person. I’ll cherish these photos forever.
