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.

I'm Ashley! I'm still pretty new to the PNW but I am not waisting any time getting to know it.

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!

Emett Joseph Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Olympia, 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!

I could not be more thrilled with our choice in photographer than Sound Originals! The quality of shots we received from our wedding were stunning, and that is entirely thanks to Kevin. He was so great at working with us to create beautiful, posed shots, but my favorite photos of the night are those were he captured the live moments of joy. Having the ability to have multiple editing styles was so amazing as it led to some beautifully crafted shots with unique lighting.

Photographs are love letters to the heart. I’m here to capture the most important moments of your life from the first anniversary, to the engagement, to the first day of your lives as a married couple. I have been a photographer for 8 years now and I love what I do! Not everyone can say they chose their career at the age of 14 but I feel so lucky enough to say I did. Located in the Seattle/Tacoma area willing to travel anywhere to be your official hype woman!

Allison is hands down the best! My husband and I did not consider ourselves to be particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but after working with Allison for both our engagement and wedding photos -- we were simply blown away! Allison and her husband Nikita are everything you want in your wedding day team -- they do a great job posing you (while also keeping plenty of room for candids and natural moments), keeping the day moving (especially with wrangling a very very long family shot list with multiple small children) and also reading the energy of the room and giving breaks and hype ups as needed. Our wedding day gallery makes me tear up every time I open it, and I couldn't be more grateful to Allison for making it all come together!

I could write a book about Leah; or at least a very detailed blog post but I'll try to keep it shorter! As a fellow professional photographer, I got the opportunity to meet Leah and work with her as her 2nd photographer on a wedding. It took that one amazing experience and absolute blast of a time to know that whenever it was I got married she was THE photographer for me. Fast forward some years later it was finally my turn to tie the knot and my now husband and I chose our date based on when Leah was available, because there was no other option for me! I have gotten to work with dozens of photographers throughout my going on 10 year career, and I'm telling y'all, it doesn't get better than Leah. The photos - amazing! I love her eye for details, the crispness, the colors! Not to mention she is such a beautiful soul with the best personality and energy, with the professionalism to get a gallery worth of beautiful photos with you barely realizing she's there. While going through our gallery, I was stunned and overjoyed so many times to see things I had NO idea happened or even photos of people that I unfortunately didn't get to spend much time with yet seeing that they still enjoyed themselves. In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you can choose for your wedding day. I am so thankful my experience in the wedding industry allowed me to cross paths with Leah because that made a really important decision very easy for me. And I hope my review can help other soonlyweds out there make a hard decision easier. You will not go wrong choosing Leah to photograph your big day!

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + adventure weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people have the wedding of their dreams in magical outdoor spaces. When you choose to elope, you’re choosing to get married free of society’s wedding day expectations. So go wild! Spend the entire day in your favorite place, with your favorite person. Wear a fancy outfit, or wear your hiking boots. Invite your dog instead of your mom’s second cousin. Share your first kiss under the stars instead of under an altar. In the great outdoors, you write the wedding rules. And I’m here to help make it an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began looking for a photographer for our micro-wedding, we gravitated towards Nadia’s images over and over again. Not only did they capture raw, intimate moments between couples and families, but they elevated those moments in elegant and natural landscapes of the PNW; everything we wanted. We reached out and set up a consultation call immediately. We were initially nervous and felt very unprepared to speak with photographers because we had zero ideas for what our special day would look like, but after our call with Nadia we were confident that Venture Ever After was the right choice for us. She was so knowledgeable and did a TON of legwork planning our timeline to best capture the moments we wanted in the lighting we needed, recommending a variety of locations for some private moments as a couple and group activities with our family, and keeping us grounded and calm throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Nadia took the reigns and gently guided us through the day with compassion and grace. She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details. She even conquered some pretty crazy heights armed with multiple cameras and a walky-talky to capture some dramatic and beautiful couple’s portraits. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Nadia is one of the most genuine and kind people I’ve met. She has a knack for keeping elopement/wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. My partner and I truly felt like models. I feel so blessed to have our wedding photographed by her and, above all, be able to call her a friend. I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW. In fact, I hope to be able to visit her and capture anniversaries and momentous occasions for our family long into the future.

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma and her team were so amazing! Working with Emma before the wedding was seamless; she created a timeline that really helped with planning. We had Kayla and Almida for our photographers the day of and they were truly fantastic. So easy to work with and the pictures are so beautiful. Highly recommend!

Not only were we drawn to his work, but we loved his fun personality, his professionalism, and his kindness of wanting to know us! Jonathan asked about our story, got to know us as individuals and as a couple, and made sure to tell our story through our photos. He even went overtime to help us with our timeline! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the lens and calmed us when we felt we were not on schedule on the day of the wedding. We love our engagement photos and wedding photos.

Luke was such an amazing addition to our wedding! He was our first choice for wedding photography and was originally booked up on our date. With Covid changes, we were able to get Bear Beau for our rescheduled, smaller wedding, and we couldn't be happier! Luke brought such a joyful, calm, and helpful presence to our wedding. All of our guests noticed how kind and happy Luke was as he ran around taking pictures, and still talk about how great he was a couple months later. I really couldn’t imagine our day without the help of Luke. He brought such a calmness that made me and my fiancé relax and just enjoy our day. I was able to rely on him to know our schedule, help with the flow, he remembered details like my veil and bouquet- all sorts of things that helped our day run smoothly. Luke even arrived an hour and a half early than planned to get more getting ready photos and detail pictures, which I appreciated so much! Luke also worked amazingly with our videographers. Guests thought they were from the same company because their work together at the wedding seemed so seamless! Luke was really kind and respectful to make sure the videographers were able to have their time and space to capture the day as well. Luke is so skilled and quick that we got amazing photos all day long but never felt like we were busy taking photos- the whole day felt natural and easy. And of course Luke is so extremely talented! We love our pictures so much as they captured the genuine happiness and feel for the day. All the pictures are beautiful!! My husband and I couldn't be happier with the photos we got back and feel so grateful for Luke's above and beyond talent and service for our wedding day. We would recommend Bear Beau to everyone! Out of all the vendors we hired, he was one of the most valuable and made the biggest difference for our day.

Svanna Andrada Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Their communication was fast, informative, and caring throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was top-notch - they were accountable, efficient, and meticulous in capturing all the special moments of our big day. Svanna herself seemed like someone I'd known forever, as she was so engaged with our bridal party and made the entire experience fun and smooth. I felt an instant connection with her that really put me at ease and allowed us to get the most amazing photos to remember our wedding day. Highly recommend Svanna Andrada Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience!
