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.

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.

  • Photojournalistic style

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!

Being from out of state, we were able to connect via phone and zoom. I gave her my vision and some details i wanted to incorporate and BOY DID SHE DELIVER!!!! She gave me plenty of site options to choose from, and all were exactly what i was looking for. We narrowed it down to distance and ease to locate since we were traveling with little ones. She considered everyone and everything. Her outlook and sense of direction really made the absolute difference. She took factors of the elements, snow, sun, shade, fog, light and gave us the most beautiful moments. Even capturing the little candid moments with the kids and my new husband were so heart warming. She saw what I didn't see. She positioned us in ways that were both flattering and fun! She had the best pricing but and the best accommodations. I would definitely recommend a thousand times!

With over 15 years experience in weddings, I bring a mix of documentary & editorial elements to your day so you see all of the sentimental moments that happened both with and without you, while also having beautiful portraits to hang in your home or showcase to future generations. My goal is to illustrate the feelings of the day through my gallery, so you can relive the day over and over.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the most magical, perfect wedding and one of the most wonderful things about it is I have incredible photos to remember it. I cannot emphasize this enough, if you need a wedding photographer, pick Erin. There are a lot of things I could say about Erin, but I’m going to break it down into two categories: experience and quality. Erin is warm, funny, and a wonderful listener. My husband and I both don’t love photos and from our engagement shoot onward Erin made us feel comfortable, engaged, and like ourselves. She takes extra time and effort to get to know you as a couple and what will and won’t work for you. All of my wedding party and many of my guests have reached out to me to remark on how wonderful, kind, and comfortable Erin made them feel during our wedding. Basically Erin is just amazing as a human and that translates into her being able to create an experience for you that allows you to focus on your event and the love you share with your partner and you never have to worry because you trust Erin will make things work because she understands you. Second, I AM SO BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY OF ERIN’S WORK! Like I knew from her website she’d be great, but looking over the photos we got after the wedding made me realize just how talented Erin is. She captured every moment and emotion so beautifully. I can see the love and joy in every photo. Seriously, I teared up when I looked at some of them because they so reflected how I felt in that moment. These are photos I’m going to look at for years to come and never wonder what was happening or how I felt because they were so well captured. Erin is a magician with her camera and you will not be disappointed for one second by how incredible your photos turn out. Erin is an incredible human and phenomenal photographer. I cannot sing her praises high enough. Hire her. You will not be disappointed and you’ll have your most precious memories captured to perfection.

Professional, quality photographer that made photos fun and easy Hiring Mahdi and Shima was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Mahdi and Shima were a phenomenal team and captured our wedding in the most perfect light. Our pictures turned out better than we could have ever hoped and I would recommend them for every wedding/engagement (they did both for us). Reasons why we love them-- 1) The pictures they take are top notch. The quality and style is unrivaled 2) Their style of capturing the wedding is authentic. Mahdi and Shima do a great job of capturing the "in between" moments that really tell the story of the day. Of course they include the standard family and bridal party pictures, but so many of the pictures really capture the vibe of the day. 3) Their teamwork and ability to help lead you through the flow of the day are second to none. On the day of the wedding it felt hectic and I wasn't 100% sure where I should have been or what I should have been doing at any given moment. Mahdi and Shima helped us with our schedule and walked us through the entire day effortlessly. This was great because I never had to worry about where I had to be next 4) They are just great people will incredible talent. Right off the bat you could tell that they love what they do and they love to do it together. Mahdi and Shima exceeded our expectations Would highly, highly recommend!

The thing I hear most from my couples? “You made us feel so comfortable.” Most people don’t love being in front of the camera (totally normal), but that’s where I come in—to help you feel like the best version of yourself while making memories you’ll actually want to hang on your walls. Your wedding photographer is with you through the quiet moments and the chaos, so it matters who you have by your side. With me, you get someone who knows how to read the room, roll with whatever the day brings, and add calm, joy, and confidence to it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Jenn Patterson was an absolute joy! I truly appreciate vendors who communicate clearly and go above and beyond — and Jenn does exactly that. From start to finish, she brought such professionalism, creativity, and heart to our wedding at The Corson Building. Jenn has a gift for finding beauty in the smallest details. She took the most subtle elements of our day and made them feel magnificent and deeply significant. The flatlay she created was stunning — a rich, thoughtful collection of pieces she curated and styled with such intention. She arrived early to ensure nothing felt rushed, and throughout the day we had so much fun anticipating moments together — seamlessly aligning to capture them with ease and precision. Her calm energy and artistic eye made the entire experience effortless and memorable. I can’t recommend Jenn enough. She doesn’t just take photos — she tells a story, one filled with emotion, beauty, and meaning.

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!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Autumn shot my wedding in July and working with her was a fantastic experience from start to finish. From our first communication she was friendly, responsive and professional. I really appreciate how transparent she is about her prices, which are very reasonable! On my wedding day Autumn went with the flow in the best way possible. When I was stressed, she was chill; when I was happy, she was stoked! And when a hair and makeup delay meant less time for photos she had no problem delivering on a truncated timeline. I could truly go on and on about what a kind, talented person Autumn is. My husband and I (and our friends and family) are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and will be recommending Autumn to everybody we know. Do not hesitate to book her!

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.

We had the privilege of working with Joe for multiple wedding events as we wanted a fall mountain top elopement & micro party followed by a larger party in the spring. As we started planning the different events, it was most important to us to have a photographer experienced in mountain top celebrations. We decided to work with Joe and could not have chosen better. Joe not only ran up a mountain with us but was involved in all the planning details including sharing a list of the best larch hikes, watching the weather and pinpointing exactly when golden hour would be hitting specific peaks. Even as the sun was setting and the light was fading, Joe found all the last bits of alpenglow to make us feel and look like we were the only ones standing on top of the world. He even carried heavy film cameras with him to capture the evening and we're so glad he did as they resulted in some of our favorite photos. The photos Joe took exceeded all our expectations and we have been excited and proud to share them with all our friends and family. Joe's skill doesn't stop on a mountain top. For our micro and macro party events, he brought an incredible sense of calm and serenity to all the wedding chaos around us. He was somehow everywhere, capturing incredible candid moments while still taking leadership to direct the posed shots we wanted. Joe captured the differences and highlighted the uniqueness in each of our events and yet each gallery we received feels cohesive and timeless. It's impossible to choose favorites and it's going to be very difficult to determine which photos to hang on our walls.

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

Choosing Marla as my wedding photographer was the best decision. She is amazing at what she does, responded to us quickly and provided the most amazing pictures I will cherish forever. She helped us have a smooth wedding day and made sure we both felt our best on our special day.

Hi, I'm Dawna! I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, currently calling Seattle my home. I enjoy traveling, Beyonce, the great outdoors, music, the sun, shooting film, and obviously photographing people & the places I go. I started pursuing photography when I was 14 after a family trip to Alaska! I've been doing weddings for over ten years now, my first wedding also being in Alaska! :)

Dawna is a gem. When I started looking for a photographer for my wedding I knew my number one priority was to have bright, fun photos that capture the spirit of the wedding. Absolutely no offense to other wedding photographers in Washington state, but I noticed that a lot of them take a moodier and darker approach to the photos and that just isn't what I wanted for my wedding photos. Dawna DELIVERED! Her photos are incredible. The happiness and joy of the day were captured so perfectly. She also was very communicative and flexible with us. We live out of state and were unable to do an engagement shoot around when we booked her, so we ended up doing the engagement shoot a couple days before the wedding. It was great to be able to practice with her and get more comfortable in front of the camera.
