They were an easy company to work with and a wonderful price! Tricia and Amy have really sweet personalities and give us some deals on the package we got. My now husband and I had a few phone calls with Pacific Lights. Through the conversations, they picked our photographer and videographer that were the best fit for our needs. They were easy to work with and very professional. We received the results quickly. We both want to use Pacific Lights for other events. Would highly recommend!

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.

Emma Wargo Photo Co. 
Rating: 5.0 (17 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Startup, WA

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!

Hi there! We’re a photo + video duo based in the PNW, capturing love stories far and wide. Whether you're planning an intimate mountaintop elopement or a big celebration with all your favorite people, we’re here to document every beautiful, honest, messy, emotional, joy-filled moment. We’re a team of two who work seamlessly together to offer photography, videography, or a custom blend of both — so you don’t have to choose between stunning stills or tear-jerking motion. Why sacrifice your memories when now, you can afford to have both?

Where to even start…. Ashlie has been professional from the very first correspondence. I’ve been able to let her know what I wanted or didn’t want and she listened with open ears. Ashlie took our engagement photos as that’s part of the package we chose for our wedding. When I tell you that these photos are stunning, it’s no joke! Our wedding isn’t until next summer but I truly cannot wait for her and her team to capture it! It was raining during our engagement photos, it was cold, and it was windy, but that didn’t stop her! If you want someone who is trustworthy, professional, caring, easy to be around, and more… Ashlie is your girl! (Not to mention, she’s willing to travel without breaking the bank…. BIG WIN!!)

Eliza Curl Films & Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Startup, WA

As an artist in the 21st century, I am overwhelmed by all that we cannot trust. The landscapes are edited, the portraits are airbrushed, and the legitimacy of what we see on social media is anyone's guess. That's why it is my passion and life pursuit to capture our most precious things in life - our loves, our families, our unrepeatable moments - in the most true-to-life and timeless way possible. I live for the unguarded moments that take our breath away. If you want to capture this time in your life in all its perfect authenticity, it's my job and my joy to capture the soul of these things for you to hold in time forever.

We have used Elizabeth twice now and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a creative and professional photographer. She treats you like family and that is very important when trusting someone to capture priceless moments. Elizabeth is attentive, approachable, and easy to work with. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her and her work.

Please reach out on my website if you are interested, I do not respond to inquiries on here :') All my photography collections include 35mm film, 120 film, digital photography. I also offer Super 8 as an add on.

Hiring your photographer is a huge decision that can honestly make or break experience: Elita is the best decision we’ve made for our engagement, wedding, and next big chapters ahead in our future! It was serendipitous that our paths crossed with Elita! TikTok brought us together, and I am forever grateful to the algorithm and Elita for this. It’s rare that you find someone who truly cares and puts their entire being into their craft but we found this in Elita. She’s been such a support system from Day 1. Her call with you is so thorough it feels like talking to your best friend. She really cares about every detail and wants to ensure she captures your vision through and through. She is dedicated, creative, and immensely talented. On our actual wedding day, she was basically our photographer and planner all in one. She kept the day going according to schedule and really helped alleviate my stresses. She is very professional but kind! Truly an angel. Do not hesitate to hire her for your photos. She provides great prompts to keep you engaged during your shoot and effortlessly captures moments/feelings rather than just posed shots. We did our engagement photos and now wedding photos with her and I am blown away. As a photographer myself, it was so nice to feel SEEN as the muse rather than being behind the camera. She really sees you, your partner, and everyone involved. Elita makes you feel seen and that is one of the highest forms of love an artist can provide. We will treasure our engagement and wedding photos for generations. Her photos are art and deserve all the praise. Thank you Elita!!

I cannot recommend Kristi and Tanner enough. From bridals to boudoir to the wedding photos of my dreams- they delivered on every level. Communication was top notch, and their delivery timeline was perfectly met. Kristi even helped me with my wedding timeline, and made the day go so smooth. She was a wonderful presence, that brought calm energy to the day! And they even captured those hard to get night time shots with sparklers! If I even need an event photographer, I’ll be immediately calling them again!

Sage Trails | Adventure Elopement Photographer 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Startup, WA

***I specialize in small events! Elopements and Micro Weddings. Hi Friends! I'm Alexandria! I'm a bubbly, dog lover who loves exploring and experiencing new things, so I'm so lucky to have found my home in Washington. I'm obsessed with tall trees, could stare at the waves crashing against the beach for hours, and love the jaw-dropping feeling I get when I see something truly just majestic in the mountains.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are repeat customers of Alexandria's and have had the best experience with her every time! After working with her for our wedding and again for my SIL's wedding, we were eager to seek her out for our maternity photos! Alexandria is super enthusiastic but also very professional, which makes her amazing to work with and a reliable vendor you can count on for the most important events in your life. Her elopement-style photography brought a sense of adventure and serenity to our maternity shoot, which we are absolutely in love with. Her intake process is seamless - she was great at keeping reminders & key steps timed perfectly, and we enjoyed filling out her questionnaire that helped us feel really connected to the experience. I think one thing that really sets Alexandria apart is her expertise in the beautiful PNW scenery. She suggested several locations we absolutely loved which also fit our travel constraints, as well as my ability to move around & navigate terrain at 7 months pregnant! We were able to get a huge variety of scenery in one easy location, which was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend Alexandria to anyone going for a PNW nature vibe with photo needs!

Weddings represent such a unique moment in time where families and friends come together with one common goal in mind.. to be supportive to the couple on what is perhaps the most important moment in their relationship. Witnessing this outpouring of selflessness and love inspires me as an artist and as a human being.

Kim is the most fantastic wedding photographer! After speaking with several photographers during the shopping process, we realized we weren’t vibing with anyone. Finally we connected with Kim and she immediately made us feel so comfortable we were laughing within seconds. Just how comfortable we were showed in our engagement and wedding photos! It’s very clear how much fun we were having, and how relaxed we were. Her attention to detail is incredible, she was fixing things that we never would have considered. She hit all our priority photos and even included some amazing shots of our wedding venue and the entire island, which was such a neat touch for us and our special place. During the reception, it felt like everywhere something iconic or memorable was happening Kim was already there getting a shot. We are so incredibly happy with our photos, we highly, highly recommend Kim as your photographer - you won’t regret it.

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 present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Working with Portraits By Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise. The team of two photographers and a videographer was amazing, capturing so many special moments that will forever stay with us from our wedding day. We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!
