Kent, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Hi, I'm Cessna! I am a Washington based wedding + elopement photographer and outdoor enthusiast. This beautiful mountainous state has infused me with a passion for photography. I started off shooting only landscapes, then gradually started developing a love for weddings after shooting my brothers in 2021! Capturing nature + human connection through my creativity leaves such an impact on my own life & I am so grateful to be call this my career.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cessna did my daughter’s senior photos and not only did she make the experience easy and fun, she perfectly executed the vision my daughter had for her photos. We were so pleased with the entire process with Cessna from start to finish. She communicated well, was collaborative with ideas, was timely I with the editing, and produced the most gorgeous, moody, whimsical photos for us to cherish from this time in my daughter’s life. I cannot recommend her and her craft enough!

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

Samahan Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Kent, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,750

Celene Presto is an AAPI photographer that services the greater Seattle area. Her focus when working with clients is making sure that an authentication connection is established. It's like you're hanging out with a friend who's there to capture all the memories and everything in between.

We hired Celene for our wedding and our photos looked nothing short of a bridal fever dream—golden light, real emotion, pure magic. But what made the experience unforgettable was how effortlessly she brought that magic to life. One second we’re scrambling with a boutonnière and the next she’s pulling off a Vogue-worthy shot with a vision and a patch of shade. Her quick-thinking creativity is unmatched. She had us laughing, breathing, and actually enjoying the moment (which is wild, because weddings are chaos). Somehow she managed to capture every single beautiful second while blending into the day. If you're even thinking about hiring her, there is no doubt. She’s a photo wizard, an energy reset, and a walking Pinterest board come to life. Hire her. Trust her. Thank yourself later.

Olha Kibec Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Kent, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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 are beyond happy that we chose Olha Kibec Photography for our wedding day. Our wedding took place in Portland and Olha was able to make the drive with no issues. Olha was kind, professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, she captured every important moment beautifully - not just the big moments, but also all the small emotional details. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day again. The photos are romantic, emotional, and so natural in the moment. If you are looking for someone talented and truly passionate about what she does, we highly recommend Olha Kibec Photography. She gave us memories we will treasure forever.

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'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.

My fiancée and I were referred to Lindsey and we couldn't be happier. Lindsey was helpful in the months leading up to the wedding with all of our questions about timelines and photo groups. She was very easy to work with and overall just fun to hang out with on our wedding day. The photos are incredible and she did a great job of capturing the overall feeling and vibe of our wedding. We would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer.

I have been in my share of weddings and know there are photographers who either miss moments or take cheesy pictures - Doug exceeded my hopes and expectations. He got all the shots I wanted and some really awesome candids. He was able to get shots of the important moments and used the space and the lighting to our advantage. He managed to get up close shots but somehow I never felt like a camera was in my face. On top of all that - he was extremely kind, attentive, and efficient. I highly recommend using Doug for 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!

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.

Hey I'm Chelsea! I'm a wedding photographer based out of Seattle, Washington. I'm a super happy 35-year old who is head over heels in love with her job. Photography lets me combine all of my INFJ superpowers into one package, & it fills me with so much joy to share that with my clients. Beyond photography, I'm a total hippy at heart; I love all things nature, the moon, traveling, wildflowers, old creaky houses, thrift shopping, plants, hiking & horror movies.

I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea! I loved working with her and her assistant on the wedding day and leading up to the wedding. As a wedding planner, she made my job easier from start to finish! She was extremely kind and responsive in the months before the wedding. Chelsea was incredibly professional, genuine, and fun to work with on the wedding day not only with me and other vendors but with her couple and their guests. Her ability to make her couples feel at ease is reflected in her gorgeous photos. I highly recommend Chelsea Terry for couples looking for a great addition to your vendor team and to capture one of the best days of your life!

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.

From our engagement shoot, we knew Oxy was going to be amazing, but we didn’t realize just how impactful she would be throughout our entire wedding experience. During our engagement session, she made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She let us truly be ourselves while still gently guiding us into the best poses and moments. She had fun prompts that genuinely made us laugh, never felt intrusive or “in our face,” and delivered so many beautifully edited photos with natural colors and timeless editing. Leading up to the wedding, Oxy was incredibly helpful and encouraging through all of her planning check-ins. She provided thoughtful photo checklists, helpful suggestions, and made the entire process feel organized and stress-free. On our wedding day she captured our first look perfectly while also giving us the privacy and space to truly be present with each other in the moment. She also somehow managed to wrangle our entire family for portraits while still keeping everything calm and fun and ensuring nothing got missed. So many of our friends and family commented on how warm, kind, and wonderful our photographer was, which is such a testament to who Oxy is as both a person and a professional. She delivered far more photos than we expected, and every single one feels meaningful and high quality. We had shared the people and moments that mattered most to us, and she captured every single one beautifully. I’m currently pregnant with our first child, and we’ll absolutely be using Oxy again for maternity photos. She’s the kind of photographer that once you find her, you keep coming back for every milestone. We truly could not imagine our wedding day without her, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Erin and her second photographer had a unique ability to blend into the background while still managing to capture every candid moment beautifully.

She gave us lots of tips of where the best shots would be! The photos turned out stunning—each shot perfectly encapsulating the emotion and joy of the day. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they made sure to capture both the big moments and the small, intimate ones that we will cherish forever. What stood out the most was their professionalism and ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. They directed us perfectly for posed shots while still allowing for natural, spontaneous moments. Overall, the Lovers Wild exceeded our expectations and delivered a breathtaking collection of memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.

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 had the privilege of working with Joe for multiple wedding events as we wanted a fall mountain top elopement & micro party followed by a larger party in the spring. As we started planning the different events, it was most important to us to have a photographer experienced in mountain top celebrations. We decided to work with Joe and could not have chosen better. Joe not only ran up a mountain with us but was involved in all the planning details including sharing a list of the best larch hikes, watching the weather and pinpointing exactly when golden hour would be hitting specific peaks. Even as the sun was setting and the light was fading, Joe found all the last bits of alpenglow to make us feel and look like we were the only ones standing on top of the world. He even carried heavy film cameras with him to capture the evening and we're so glad he did as they resulted in some of our favorite photos. The photos Joe took exceeded all our expectations and we have been excited and proud to share them with all our friends and family. Joe's skill doesn't stop on a mountain top. For our micro and macro party events, he brought an incredible sense of calm and serenity to all the wedding chaos around us. He was somehow everywhere, capturing incredible candid moments while still taking leadership to direct the posed shots we wanted. Joe captured the differences and highlighted the uniqueness in each of our events and yet each gallery we received feels cohesive and timeless. It's impossible to choose favorites and it's going to be very difficult to determine which photos to hang on our walls.

California native, PNW resident, coffee drinker, dog scritcher, friend, forward-thinker, designer. I hate having my photo taken (go figure), my dog Boone makes me laugh every day, and I thrive off of honest, intentional conversations. I’ve worked as a photographer for over 8 years and I know that half the job is connecting with people and offering them an experience, not just a gallery. I believe you have to feel comfortable with the person behind the camera before you can let go and fully be yourself in front of it.

Becky is AMAZING! I first met her in 2016, when she photographed my college graduation pictures. In 2018 - a little over a year into dating Ryan - I asked her to do our holiday pictures. She made Ryan feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera for the first time! Over the years, Becky has documented our love and has become a very close part of our lives as a couple. She was there for our engagement pictures in 2022 and we couldn’t imagine our wedding day being documented by anyone else. A month before our wedding, we did private vows under Mount Rainier. Just me, Ryan, Becky and the mountain. Ryan and I wanted it to be as private as possible. Becky was so great at giving us privacy during the reading of our vows while still getting BEAUTIFUL and intimate pictures of it. Having her at our wedding was truly having a friend there who just happens to take stunning pictures. We are so grateful for the memories she has preserved over the years and hope she will be there for future memories! We also love that she supports Black-led and Black-supporting organizations by donating from her earnings for every shoot!

Hey! I’m Sarah Jane, your PNW-obsessed, puppy dog loving, stress-free photographer. After 5 years working in the music industry managing bands, organizing large-scale festivals, spending time on staff at a radio station, and being the lead singer & guitarist in a band, I knew I wanted to be involved in the magic of coordinating a moment. Juuust with wedding music playing in the background. ;) Now I’m completely in love with capturing special moments at weddings and engagement sessions for couples in Washington & Oregon. PLEASE INQUIRE THROUGH WEBSITE!

We cannot say enough positive things about Sarah Jane, she's an absolute gem!! After watching her magic at my friend's wedding a few years back I knew instantly that I'd need her shoot to my special day as well (one day)! When my time finally came, Sarah Jane was the first vendor that we booked and afterwards everything else fell smoothly into place. Sarah Jane helped us plan a beautiful engagement shoot on Mount Baker while also taking time to help us scope out possible ceremony spots for the following year. She helped us develop a timeline for both our ceremony and our reception, and that was a HUGE lifesaver!! Then when our ceremony location had to change just two weeks before our big day due to the snow levels on Mount Baker, Sarah Jane quickly reworked our plans while still managing to incorporate everything that was important to us. She was phenomenal when it came to managing our large family in group/individual photos, completing many shots in a very short amount of time. Somehow she manages to capture all of the sentimental, candid, and funny photos all at the same time....I swear she's an absolute ninja with a dynamite personality!!!! We loved every moment we spent with Sarah Jane and we can't stop drooling over all of our breathtaking photos.

I’m Emily, and I’m a photographer who loves the outdoors, bright colors, and creating photos that capture your authentic self. My style is colorful, documentary, and photojournalistic. I’ll capture the standard portraits for your extended family to put on their fridge, of course, but I also try to create photos that show what it really felt like to be there – the bright smiles, the tears, the dancing.

Emily Paris Photography was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, they were kind, coordinated, and accommodating throughout the entire process. Their communication style put us at ease, and their attention to detail ensured that every moment was captured beautifully. The final photos are truly incredible - the quality is exceptional, and we can trust that they have preserved the love and joy of our special day. Emily Paris Photography excelled at capturing the little moments between our guests, showcasing the immense amount of love that surrounded us. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for stunning, high-quality wedding photography.

I've been shooting weddings not just to capture a pretty image, but to capture the moment for you to look back on and remember the great time you had. I'm passionate about the love a couple has for each other and not just being their photographer but their friend as well.

Areli was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, Areli and his team were passionate, friendly, and easy-going, making us feel like we were working with close friends rather than just vendors. Their unique, dreamy, and colorful photography style captured all the special moments of our day in a way that truly reflects the joy and love we felt. Areli made us both feel so comfortable and secure in front of the camera, guiding us through poses with ease. We are over the moon with how our wedding photos turned out and couldn't recommend Areli more highly to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.
