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. My work is deeply influenced by atmosphere and environment, the rainy Seattle streets, mountain backdrops, candlelit interiors, and I thrive on translating these settings into images that feel both grand and intimate.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a WONDERFUL experience with Jennifer from our initial zoom meeting to our engagement photos to our wedding day! Her communication is top-notch and her tips and suggestions for everything from outfit and location choices for our engagement photos to wedding day timeline and suggested shot lists were so so helpful. My partner and I are not natural born models by any stretch of the imagination, but Jennifer made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured the vibe of our wedding perfectly, from the detail shots to the candid guest photos. It was really hard to choose which ones to include in this review because we had so many favorites! We can't recommend JL Thomas Photography enough to capture your wedding day. Also highly recommend adding in some film shots as well! You can tell how much time and energy Jennifer puts into her photography and we will treasure these photos forever.

Dustin Wheeler Photography

  • Serves Mercer Island, WA

Specializing in Outdoor Weddings and Elopements! Growing up fishing and hiking at the age of three, I spend as much time as possible outside! Searching out new swimming holes in the summer, traveling to the mountains and along the coast throughout the year! Backpacking, hiking and climbing. Quickly adding more locations to shoot!

I was drawn to Dustin's passion for nature and experience with outdoor setting for weddings. We had an elopement ceremony by the river and Dustin captured the warmth and love of our special day. I'm so appreciative of the positive energy and enthusiasm he brought and his flexibility to take photos at multiple locations. He exceeded our expectations and his passion for nature and people shines through. Great communication, arrived early, and beautiful photos!

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.

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

Lindsey Paradiso Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Mercer Island, WA

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 photographed my wedding in June 2017. My fiancée and I at the time were running into some vendor issues because of where we live and the fact that we are a same-sex couple, so when Lindsey wanted to have lunch with us, we were nervous to say the least. However, it was only minutes into the conversation that I knew we’d found the perfect photographer for us. Lindsey shared her personal stories with us, and made us feel like we were talking with a friend we’d known for years. Wedding days are hectic, and we had a large wedding party, but Lindsey didn’t miss a beat from start to finish. Needless to say, our pictures turned out perfect, and Lindsey was able to photograph our special day wonderfully! We still get compliments about how beautiful our photos are almost 5 years later! Lindsey was professional, empathetic, and a joy to work with. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

I'm here for the couples that want their wedding to be a damn good time. Whether it's a massive weekend-long wedding with a 30 person wedding party, or a vibrant backyard love celebration with an epic playlist, I will be there to make sure every awesome moment is captured in all its glory!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want the photographer of your dreams and a hype woman, Brynna is the one! Both my husband and I are the most unphotogenic people on the planet (think Chandler from Friends), but Brynna has a way about her that makes you feel beautiful and a natural in front of a camera. Throughout our entire COVID wedding experience, Brynna was nothing but flexible and positive. We had to move our wedding up by three weeks and Brynna didn't bat an eyelash and was there in a heartbeat, thank goodness she was even available! When the big day came, I was beyond miserable from the anxiety, but when our photos came back, I see nothing but beautiful memories. Looking at our 900 photos brings tears to my eyes; my husband and I are having a tough time choosing which to hang in our home! I cannot recommend Brynna enough, you won't be disappointed!

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. 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.

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture!

Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

We reached out to Will at very short notice to photograph our impromptu Covid-19-impacted outdoor wedding. We got an almost immediate response. He was very cheerful and professional, and enjoyable to have around at the wedding ceremony. We were extremely happy with the results, too. Will managed to capture many sweet moments and details during our celebration, and the quality of the pictures was great. If we got married a second time, we would gladly hire him again!

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.

Chelsea was our wedding photographer, and we loved working with her! We both typically feel a little awkward having our photos taken, but Chelsea really made us feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. She really is a calming presence, and is just super friendly and fun to hang out with. We were so impressed with how our wedding photos turned out, as were all of our friends and family--in addition to getting great portraits of us, she captured so many fun moments from the wedding. We'd recommend working with Chelsea in a heartbeat!

He was friendly, relaxed, and went out of his way to capture perfect moments without being pushy or intruding on our space. After such a perfect day and night, it was amazing to receive such beautiful images from Artur. It was honestly so hard to choose just a few to frame! We would highly recommend Artur to anyone!

She was punctual on the wedding day and did an amazing job of sticking with the schedule and getting everyone photographed in the allotted time. She was also friendly, fun, and had a sense of calm (which is essential for any wedding professional!). She had the complete photo gallery ready just a few days after the wedding, and her photos were beautiful. I'd be delighted to work with Alanna again!

  • Serves Mercer Island, WA

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!

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.

Joe photographed my wedding a couple months ago, and we can’t say enough amazing things about him, honestly, he's a rockstar and so incredibly talented! From the moment we met, he made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and that energy carried through our entire wedding day. Honestly, his vibe and presence were stellar; I instantly thought I could be friends with this guy. Now, to the photos, every single one is pure magic! The way he used light and angles—while seamlessly incorporating the stunning nature of our wedding venue—made every image feel timeless and full of life. His passion for his craft and genuine care shines through in every shot. If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to give you the most stunning, heartfelt, and artistic photos, you've found him! I can't recommend him more. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll cherish these memories forever.

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.

Lyndsey could not have done a more fantastic job with our wedding and engagement photos. She made the entire process completely stress free, she got our photos finished very quickly, and also she runs the entire process extremely efficiently. Lyndsey also is very good at bringing the client’s vision to life. I had a hard time describing the “vibe” I wanted from the photos, but Lyndsey knew exactly what I was trying to say and executed it perfectly. At my wedding, and afterwards, I had 5-10 friends and family members ask me for Lyndsey’s information because they were all so impressed. Truly I have no notes, 10/10.

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 celebrated our 10th anniversary with a photo shoot by Celene, and it was an amazing experience. As a fellow Filipino, she incorporated elements from our wedding and heritage into the shoot, making it extra special. Celene was very communicative and open to my vision of incorporating our wedding day and sharing that story with our daughter. She made us feel comfortable, guiding us through every shot, and the final photos perfectly captured our love and family. Due to a recent family loss, I was overwhelmed with emotions that Celene welcomed warmly. We couldn’t be happier with the memories she helped us create. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly understands your story, I would absolutely recommend Celene 3

From the moment we met Sarah Jane, we knew we were in good hands. Neither of us are used to being in front of a camera, and we were a little nervous about feeling awkward—but she instantly put us at ease with her authenticity, goofiness, and incredible energy. Instead of feeling posed or stiff, we were able to relax and just enjoy the moments, which is exactly what we wanted for both our engagement and wedding photos. Sarah Jane is not only an amazing photographer, she’s a wonderful human! She was so genuine and thoughtful in all her communication, and she was incredibly quick to respond—I never once had to follow up with her, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even helped us beyond photography—when we were struggling to find a coordinator, she shared thoughtful recommendations, one of whom we ended up hiring. That kind of care and support meant the world to us. We’ve already received our sneak peek photos, and we are absolutely in love. They are beautiful, heartfelt, and capture the joy of our day perfectly. We’re so grateful we found Sarah Jane and can’t imagine our wedding without her. We can’t recommend her enough, and we know exactly who to call for future life milestone photography. If I could give Sarah Jane more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

I don’t take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time. I spelI things how i want and I will never wait for a crosswalk. I prefer quality over quantity. Unless we’re talking about coffee, chocolate, wine, shopping, and deals…then i want quality and quantity. I’ve got a potty mouth and a good heart. I give so many fucks about what I do. The details, the experience and creating some real good imagery. I’m an artist and I want to create something beautiful for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are truly not enough wonderful things to say about Andria: our wedding simply would not have been as magical as it was without her. She was immediately part of our family, fixing my mom's hair clip, giving me advice on how to use the bathroom in a wedding dress (facing the wall!) calming my best friend's nerves, complimenting my grandmother. She was at once everywhere and nowhere at all, capturing EVERY moment in such beautiful, incredible detail and yet never ever pulling focus or getting in the way. Her photos speak for themselves and I can't possibly put into words how incredible she is behind a lens, but I will say that looking at each of the 1,400 photos she sent us (SO quickly and with tons of gracious communication) instantly transports me to each precious moment of the best day of my life. I can't possibly overstate my gratitude or recommend her highly enough-- look no further, lucky reader. You've found your photographer!!

There aren’t many times in your life you have your best friends and family members gathered together in one place. this lends itself to good photography. but it’s important we get good access, that we be able to photograph you from the perspective of a close friend or family member. we want to shoot your wedding from the inside out, not the outside in. when you get your photos we want to bring you back to those moments in an intimate and impactful way, so you can remember how it felt.

Hiring Melanie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we connected, her warmth, professionalism, and grounded energy put us completely at ease. She’s not just a photographer—she’s a deeply intuitive presence who sees people in a way that is rare and sacred. Throughout the planning process, Melanie communicated with such clarity and kindness. We always felt informed, cared for, and completely confident in her. She truly went above and beyond—balancing artistry with organization, professionalism with deep presence. On the day itself, she floated through our space like a calming force, capturing moments we didn’t even realize were happening until we saw the images. Her work is stunning—rich, emotional, soulful. Every frame feels like a memory you can feel. She captures not just what things looked like, but how they felt. Our Super 8 film made us both cry. The textures, the movement, the way she threads nostalgia into the modern moment… it’s magic. What we appreciated most, though, was her. Her energy, her grace under pressure, her dedication to getting it right—not just technically, but energetically. Melanie holds space in a way that makes everyone feel safe and seen. That’s something you can’t teach. If you are lucky enough to work with her—do it. She is a true artist, a steady hand, and a beautiful human. We are forever grateful. - Rachel

I’m Alex, a wedding photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. I focus on clean, honest storytelling, capturing real smiles, quiet nerves, and everything in between. Being a parent reminds me how quickly time flies, so I take extra care to document the moments you’ll want to remember years from now. Whether your ceremony is on a mountain trail at sunrise or in a city venue under string lights, my job is to work seamlessly in the background so you can stay in the moment. The result: straightforward, true-to-life images you’ll still love decades later.

Alex made our entire photo experience effortless. From the first meeting we had to the final gallery, he was organized, calm, and genuinely invested in our day. He blended into the background during the ceremony, and still managed to capture every laugh, tear, and ridiculous dance move. We received sneak peeks the next morning (huge bonus!) and had the full gallery in under three weeks. Family and friends keep raving about how natural we look in the photos, which is exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for a photographer who is reliable, communicative, and crazy talented.
