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.

From the moment we booked JL Thomas Photography, Jennifer was a dream to work with. Her communication was crystal clear, informative, fun, and friendly throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Jennifer not only prioritized our list of photos, but helped enforce our timeline and herd our guests when they didn't want to be where we needed them. She was a true stress reducer on my wedding day. The quality of her work is exceptional, exceeding our expectations in every way. In all honesty, I always get nervous when other people take pictures of me, thanks to different camera angles and a fluctuating body weight. I was terrified that I would see myself in photos of the most beautiful day of my life, and see myself as less than… but let me tell you, I have never felt more confident in sharing pictures than the ones we received. Jennifer’s tips on posing, feedback in the moment, and constant reassurance built my confidence, and it showed. The sneak peeks we received were absolutely beautiful, and we can’t wait to see the rest. The value of Jennifer's services is incredible - honestly, I think she should charge more, even though I’m glad her packages were within our budget. She felt like a true friend to us, and I cannot recommend her enough. I brag about how amazing she is every time I talk about our wedding - which is a lot. We are so glad we chose her, not only to capture our special day, but to be part of it as well.

Pacific Light Photography was fantastic from start to finish. Their communication was prompt, and they went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. The photos were beautifully lit and romantic, capturing every special moment. Their pricing was very fair and absolutely worth it. After comparing over 20 photographers, we loved that Pacific Light’s team setup provided peace of mind with backups if needed. Amy and Tricia carefully matched us with the perfect team, and everyone made our day wonderful. Our photographer, Katherine, was incredible! She took care of me all day, made sure I ate, fixed my hair, and even focused on getting great shots of our dog, Mama. Videographer Leng created magical videos that far exceeded our expectations.

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.

We used Lindsey for our engagement and wedding photos and absolutely loved her! She was so communicative and flexible! One of the spots that we wanted to shoot at wouldn’t allow us to, so she was able to think on her feet and found us a couple of other locations that turned out great! The same thing happened for our first look - there was too much fog at the first location, so she was able to figure out an alternative on a really short timeline! Our pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL and I’d love to use her again for future photography needs!

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.

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 Terry is D R E A M. We are beyond thankful to have worked with her and that she was a part of our special day. Chelsea instantly feels like your best friend and knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera (esp if you're like me and aren't used to being photographed). Not only is she the best work with in the moment, but her photos are more beautiful than I could have imagined. She sent us some sneak peak photos on our honeymoon and it was such a treat to relive the day through her photos. I HIGHLY recommend you book her for your next wedding or event. We will definitely be looking to her for future photography needs. Thank you, Chelsea! <3

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.

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!

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.

As the years have gone by in my career, I have had the pleasure of cultivating a long-lasting journey with my clients, no matter where it began. I have joined in at various times, whether it was at the start of a marriage or with a family that had kids. Regardless of when it all started, I love being there every step of the way to preserve the fleeting moments. We can agree that life goes by far too fast and change is inevitable. Let’s capture these moments, shall we?

Victor Zerga was one of the most professional and kind people we have ever worked with! From the very beginning of our wedding plans, I knew I wanted our wedding photos to reflect Victor’s beautiful lighting style and creativity. He was the photographer for a friend of ours’ wedding years back and I knew I would want to fly him out to Dallas to be a part of our special weekend. My husband and I had an East-African/American bicultural wedding that lasted 2 days long of celebrating and Victor knew exactly what we needed and how to handle our intense wedding party and guests (over 1,000 people at our reception). We’re so grateful for our flawless wedding photos! It’s a time we will never ever forget.

Wilderpines Elopements

We're a Seattle-based team of adventure elopement photographers and planners, creating intentional, stress-free elopement experiences across Washington — from the Cascades to the coast. More than just photographers: we’re also your guides, planners, officiants, and adventure crew, here to help you plan the elopement of your dreams from start to finish — so you can focus on each other, not the logistics. Hiking boots optional.

If you're thinking about eloping in Washington, book Wilderpines right now! In all seriousness, choosing Wilderpines for our elopement was the best decision we made. My husband and I didn’t have many concrete ideas for our elopement— all we knew was that we wanted to be in Olympic National Park. I came across Wilderpines during my search and was immediately captivated by how stunning the photos were. I showed my husband, and he told me to book immediately (literally the only photographer he even looked at!). From our first meeting with Ashton, we knew we’d made the right choice. Ashton was so warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly talented. From the guides Ashton provided after our initial consultation to all the follow-up chats leading up to our wedding day, Ashton took our small ideas and helped us plan the perfect day. On the day itself, Ashton went above and beyond. Not only did he capture every special moment, but he also provided much-needed hot coffee at 6 a.m.(a way to my heart), to letting us use your subaru as a backdrop (as we are also subaru people), bandaids for when a choice to jump off a rock was made (mine), to also committing to get into Lake Crescent when we decided to jump in (on a rainy, chilly September day), and to so many many memorable moments he made with us during our day. The photos are absolutely STUNNING. Ashton is seriously so talented, a wonderful planner, and we seriously walked away feeling like we have a new friend in our life, which was the icing on top of the cake for our perfect day. Thank you so much!

Hi, my name is Olga and I am a wedding, elopement and family photographer based in Seattle. My style is light, romantic and timeless. I love to tell your story through the pictures and capture the love between you. Things I love: spending time with my family, beach walk, spontaneous road trips, hiking, mountains, sushi, good music and sunny days:) I love to meet new people and discover new places. Life is a journey with lots of happy moments. I would love to capture them for you!

Olga is an absolute delight to work with. She is friendly, professional, respectful, and encouraging. Olga's photos also turn out incredible. Olga does a wonderful job of making the photos unique to the couple and not feel cookie-cutter. I have worked with Olga twice, once as a groomsman and once as a groom, and both experiences were 10/10. I would unquestionably recommend hiring Olga for your wedding photography.
