I'm Jen, the founder of Vow House, a Seattle-based wedding photography studio dedicated to capturing love stories with an editorial, artful, and cinematic approach. With over a decade of experience behind the camera, I have built a body of work that blends moody, timeless imagery with authentic storytelling, tailored to each couple’s vision.

I'm Ashley! I'm still pretty new to the PNW but I am not waisting any time getting to know it. I was born and raised in Mesa, AZ but took my business full time when my family moved to Olympia, WA in 2021. Since then I have been diving in. I am an experienced & confident documentary/cinematic style photographer and LOVE what I do. Truly getting to know you and tell your unique love story is my passion. I can't wait to meet you!!

Ashley is amazing. People thought we were crazy for hiring a photographer all the way from Seattle to photograph our wedding in Indy, but they were proven wrong! Everyone adored her and when we showed them our Sneak Peeks people couldn’t believe how gorgeous they were! She is so down to earth, talented, funny and was worth every single penny we spent. I could not recommend her enough!

I specialize in beautifully curated micro weddings for couples who want an intentional, intimate experience without the overwhelm of a large event.

  • Serves Lacey, WA

Hey there! My name is Emett and I've been a wedding photographer for over 5 years now. There's nothing better than delivering a couple their dream wedding gallery and knowing they had an amazing experience, too!

Choosing Emett to photograph our intimate, destination wedding was the best choice we could've made! We spent a long time searching for a photographer that matched our style, was easy to get along with, and was LGBTQ friendly. Finding his website and talking with him during our consultation really sealed the deal for us. His laid back, comfortable, and easy to get along with vibe was everything we were looking for. As a queer couple, it was really important to us to have a photographer who did not try to pose us in traditional "masculine/feminine" poses, and captured the intimate, candid moments of our day. Emett did just that, and somehow more than we ever expected. Not only did we have the best photographer ever, we also felt like we made a friend in the process. Since our wedding was such a small event, but a special one, we did most of the planning and decorations ourselves. Emett was super helpful and always available to help with creating timelines, picking locations, and finding vendors that worked for us. He stuck with us after changing our minds a million times and made us feel so confident that our wedding was going to be perfect. During our engagement photos, we knew that we made the right choice! Taking photos with Emett was so comfortable, easy, and fun! I remember thinking that this was the first time that I had photos taken where I wasn't even thinking about what I looked like. On our wedding day, Emett helped us make sure our day ran smoothly, and helped us navigate insane wind to make sure that we got all of our shotlist, and he was there capturing all of the candid moments and important shots that we wanted. The whole day, he was there to hype us up, and made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. Looking back at our gallery, we could not be happier with the photos we have. We are so grateful for the most beautiful photos to remember the best days of our lives. We could not recommend anyone more than Emett to capture your perfect day!

We booked him for our welcome party as well and we are so happy he was able to make it work. It's another part of the weekend we will get to cherish with professional photos now. One other thing we loved about Luke was his communication. He was always prompt and organized, whether talking with us or our wedding planner -- not something to overlook when you are dealing with so many vendors!

They captured every detail, every emotion, and every moment we didn’t even realize we’d want to remember. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking!!! They somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. The candid shots, the portraits, the tiny in-between moments… all of it feels like a perfect retelling of our day. We will genuinely treasure these photos forever. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, kind, and truly invested in your vision, definitely go with Heather & Andrew!

I focus on visualizing how it felt to live your wedding day, while also crafting editorializations simply for the sake of intentional, living art. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

I’m Kirstin! An emotionally driven, film-forward wedding photographer based in the desert Southwest. 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 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.

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.

  • Serves Lacey, WA

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.

From the first time I looked through Nathaniel’s work, I knew he understood the kind of magic I wanted captured on our wedding day. There is such a romantic quality to his photography—the colors, the composition, the way he uses the surroundings—and his style felt completely right for us. And looking at our photos now, I regret absolutely nothing. His work is beautiful. Nathaniel himself has a very calm, gentle, soft-spoken presence, which was honestly lovely to have around us on such an emotional and overwhelming day. He never felt intrusive or like there was constantly a camera in our faces. There are so many photographs where I look at them and wonder how he managed to capture that particular moment without me even realizing he was there. One thing I would mention for future couples is that if you have a large wedding party or family that needs some serious wrangling, I would make sure your coordinator or another designated person is prepared to take charge of gathering people and keeping everyone moving through the shot list. Nathaniel is naturally more soft-spoken than commanding, and with a big group and a busy timeline, having someone there who can loudly call names and keep everyone organized would be really helpful. We also occasionally reminded him that we wanted plenty of candid photos throughout the day, as it was easy for everyone to get swept up in everything happening. That being said, Nathaniel ended up being so much more than just our photographer that day. Our day-of coordination unfortunately wasn't as present as we had expected, and Nathaniel was frequently the person right there beside us when we needed someone. At one point I spilled a drink and he immediately jumped in to help me clean it up. He tracked down things we needed from the groomsmen. He helped walk us through signing our marriage license. These weren't things that were technically his responsibility, but when he saw that we needed help, he helped. I will always remember and appreciate that. There is something incredibly reassuring about having a photographer who genuinely cares about the people on the other side of his camera. We spent so much of one of the most important days of our lives with Nathaniel beside us, and his calm presence made him incredibly easy to have there. Most importantly, though, we have beautiful photographs that actually feel like our wedding. They are romantic without feeling artificial, colorful without being overdone, and composed in a way that captured just how beautiful the day felt to us while we were living it. There are photos that feel grand and cinematic and others that capture tiny moments I never want to forget. Wedding photography was something that mattered enormously to me because when everything else from the day is over, these are the images we get to keep. I wanted photographs that would bring me back to how our wedding *felt*, not simply document what it looked like. Nathaniel gave us that, and I am incredibly grateful he was the person behind the camera on our wedding day.

We’ve been getting compliments non-stop about any photos we post. We couldn't be happier with the memories they helped us preserve from our special day.

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.

We want you to have an experience-driven, true-to-you celebration with cohesive & creative wedding photography & videography to remember it all. When your veil flies in your face, when you wipe your tears on your sleeve, when you dance until you can't breathe, that's where we thrive.

My husband and I absolutely loved our experience with KURO Creative House (fka Hereafter Film). Sharayah worked with me from start to finish with an unmatched level of kindness, support and professionalism. Our photographer on the team, Marisa, was equally fantastic and put us at ease with how on top of it she was on our big day. She went above and beyond, expertly handling all details, big and small, not to mention an overly eager mother of the bride. In the end, the photos turned out beautifully. I love the mix of editorial and candid style captured, with warmth felt throughout. These are memories I'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a talented, easy-to-work with photography and/or videography team, we cannot recommend KURO enough!!!
