“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!”

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!”

“The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!”

Working with her was so easy and straightforward. She told us exactly what she needed from us, and she was always prompt with her communication. We loved working with Morgan for so many reasons, but her thoughtfulness, sincerity, and flexibility are particular memorable. Especially with all the chaos that comes with the wedding, it was refreshing to have Morgan be in charge of our photos, because she kept a cool demeanor and was easy going, but prescriptive. Beyond her professionalism and personality, my family, friends, and I are absolutely stunned by how beautiful our photos came out. The photos were creative while maintaining timeless elegance. Morgan's expertise with outdoor photography was perfect for our venue because we had a lot of natural sunlight come through our space since we had a lot of windows. I truly cannot express how thankful I am that Morgan was our photographer. I wish we could have another vent just to have her do more photography for us! Her turn around time was extremely reasonable as well!”

I work with wildly-in-love couples who want their wedding to feel like them: artful, offbeat, deeply intentional.

Kate and Josh Gansneder are a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Snohomish, WA. Together they have documented 650+ 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.

“From our first conversation with Kate at GSquared Weddings Photography, we knew we'd made the right choice. She kept us in the loop with timely messages throughout our planning process and even sent helpful articles to guide us along the way. On our wedding day, Kate showed up prepared for anything—she had red wine wipes on hand, kept our timeline running smoothly, and navigated some tricky family moments with grace and humor. Her eye for candid, dynamic shots really shines in our photos, capturing the raw joy and emotion of the day without feeling posed. Kate anticipated our needs before we even realized we had them, which let us focus on enjoying every second. We can't recommend GSquared Weddings Photography enough.”

“Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!”

  • Serves Olympia, 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.”

“Choosing Drzazga Photo as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first interaction, they were incredibly easy to talk to, made us feel comfortable, and responsive. They gave us suggestions and guidance but were also game to try specific things we wanted and the end results were stunning - the photos they captured are absolutely gorgeous. 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.”

“Cannot recommend Cece enough! First and foremost the pictures turned out AMAZING. Most of my guests didn’t take photos throughout the event simply because they saw Cece everywhere and knew she was getting the shot AND SHE WAS. She was so communicative and fun to work with. We are also new to the area and she was amazing at helping us find other great and reliable vendors.”

“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!!!”
