Seatac, WA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,500

I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember; I used it like a pocket journal of sorts and photographed constantly while growing up in Hawai'i. I fell into weddings when my dad remarried in 2013, and I remember being caught off guard by the swirl of emotions I felt standing at the edge of a new beginning. Turning those feelings into tangible memories was the only thing that made sense. I moved to New York City to refine my skillset and took a detour into the fashion industry before receiving my Bachelor's in photography from NYU.

We feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Natalie early on in our wedding planning process! It was really important for us to find a photographer that we felt comfortable with and that matched our style and vision of what we wanted in our wedding photos. Since the beginning, Natalie impressed us with her professionalism and attention to detail, not to mention she is just a lovely person! She was so accommodating of changes and adjustments that we had to make due to COVID and always responded quickly when we had new questions. She even delivered a flower arrangement to us on our original wedding date which just made us feel special. Most of all, though, we felt so taken care of on our wedding day. You cannot adequately prepare for all the craziness you experience on your wedding day, and Natalie was there to help calm our nerves and be a stable presence through it all. Beyond facilitating the countless photos we requested, Natalie helped with boutonnieres, wedding dress and hair adjustments, lighting recommendations and just so many other little things to help us keep everything together. If you have a wedding or another intimate event you want photography for, we would definitely recommend having Natalie take care of you :)

Shaunae Teske Photography

Kent, WA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,300

Shaunae Teske is a top Seattle Wedding Photographer that specializes in creating genuine, joyful, and intentional imagery that can be passed on for generations. Along with creating timeless imagery, her legacy as a Seattle Wedding Photographer is to make all her sweet couples feel loved and valued.

We are so glad that we had Shaunae photograph our wedding! She was very helpful and kind in the phone calls we had from the early stages of planning to the week before the wedding. She sent a very helpful guidebook when we locked her in and I found it to be super useful! Closer to the wedding, she listened to all our questions and gave us her professional input which helped us make decisions like where pictures were going to take place, who should be included in family portraits and some timeline decisions. So, all in all, the logistics were great! If the logistics were great, then the pictures were perfect! We have so many lovely pictures from our wedding of us, our family, our friends, our dog and all the details! Shaunae gave us a sneak preview before we even left for our honeymoon which was a welcome surprise :) We are so happy with how they came out and we will cherish them forever. Again, so glad that we got to work with Shaunae; it was a great decision!

Redmond, WA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,000

Many things have changed since I discovered photography at the age of 12, I've traveled the world, received my degree in marketing, got married to my favorite human, and even moved from my home country of Ukraine to the US (well, that's a story for some other time :)! One thing always accompanied me though - my passion for photography! This passion allowed me to meet some absolutely incredible people and capture the most meaningful moments for them! I cannot be more grateful for my childhood dream to become a reality!

Awarded Best of Zola
Firstly I’d like to say, we are so incredibly blessed having crossed paths with Tanya! Tanya shot our elopement this past August and we could not be any more happy with all of the work she does! You can tell how devoted she is to her couples. She really takes the time to make you feel comfortable, to shoot little details, and so beautifully captures your love for one another. She is so personable and treats you as if you’re a friend from the very beginning! She is a true artist and is so incredibly talented! She creates masterpieces that are timeless and romantic that we will treasure until the end of time! I cried during my wedding day and then again when I got my full album back! We had an amazing experience and from the bottom of our hearts we cannot express our gratitude enough for helping make this day unforgettable.

Amy Kiel Photography

Seattle, WA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,400

I'm Amy & I'm so glad you're here! So, you’ve found your person & you’re both taking the plunge, eh? Rad! Tell me everything! I gravitated towards photographing weddings because they are so incredible to witness & everyone deserves stunning imagery of their vows, of their family, of their teary-eyed, sniffly first dances with dad. I am an intentional portrait photographer & documentarian. I like to take it slow. I’ll be a fly on the wall when necessary but I'll definitely go after a good portrait when I see it. With our powers combined, together we can create some stunning imagery you'll cherish for always.

Amy Kiel was an absolute dream to work with! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she has a genuine warmth and kindness that sets her apart from others in her field. Her attention to detail and amazing talent were evident in the GORGEOUS final photos from our wedding!! We could not have been happier with our experience in working with her, and the lasting memories she captured of our special day. We would recommend her 1,000 times over!!

Candance Marie Photography

5.0

Seattle, WA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,500

I am a creative and passionate Elopement and Wedding Photographer who captures the moments you will look back on for a lifetime. Those raw, authentic, candid, just as they happened moments. These are the memories you will cherish and pass down through your family, to your children, and grandchildren. The memories you will print and hang up on your walls turning your house into a home. The moments you cannot re-live, but you can re-visit with each photograph. These are the cherished memories and moments I capture for you, and your loved ones.

Candance was extremely professional throughout the entire process of hiring her for our day. I was extremely stressed out and she offered help with the location and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to when we should plan around. We always knew we wanted a small intimate moment just for us, and she made it a moment that was uninterrupted, but that we could share with those who were not there. She helped with location, and timing, and knew everything to do with when the weather-wise would work best for what we wanted. She listened to us and was extremely friendly. The session was fun, and she guided us through everything in a way that didn't make us feel like we were in a photo shoot but a fun moment of our lives that we will cherish forever. The memories we have on film will last forever and cannot thank her enough for capturing these moments for us. If you are looking for a photographer who will listen to you, treat you with respect and make your day magical, don't even look at other photographers, Candance is exceptional at what she does and will make your day perfect.

Anna Peters Photography

5.0

Seattle, WA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,500

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Anna spent nearly two decades training as a classical ballerina and photographing dance, often sneaking cameras backstage to shoot from the wings while still in costume. She was hooked on wedding photography instantly - the mosaic of emotion and energy that cascades across a wedding day felt like a natural extension of the magic she chased on stage as a dancer. Anna lives and works out of Seattle, though she’s lucky enough to follow her clients up and down the West Coast and occasionally across the globe.

I cannot give enough positive praise for Anna and her beautiful work. Her talent is incredible and is only surpassed by her true compassion for people. Both create a perfect scenario for stunning wedding photography, especially her film photography. She took the time to understand the vision for our wedding and the relationships most important to us so we could have photos that match our priorities. Anna also has a wonderful balance of professionalism and chillness. We were never stressed from photo to photo. She let us know what to expect and also found opportunities for magically unplanned moments. Her photos on our walls are memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

Roddy Chung Photography

Seattle, WA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500

I believe every wedding has its striking moment. The moment when you walk down the aisle seeing your husband-to-be on the other side gently waiting, and teardrops involuntarily slip from your eyes. The moment when you throw away your self-consciousness to dance with the love of your life no matter how funny you look. And of course, the moment when you witness over 50 years of marriage still standing strong, with many more years to come. That is the proof of true love. That’s why I decided to pursue wedding photography - I want to preserve those striking moments for you.

Choosing a wedding photographer felt like a daunting task until we stumbled upon Roddy’s stunning portfolio and set up a time to chat. My wife and I immediately knew he was the photographer for us and are so glad we were able to not only work with him, but get to know the fantastic person he is throughout the process. He captured the major moments of a wedding day, but also the intimidate, candid moments in between, including many epic dance shots. I can’t recommend him and his artistry highly enough!

With over 11 years of experience and close to 300 weddings photographed, I not only enjoy photographing weddings, but also having the opportunity to help my couples with some great tips & information to make sure their special day goes perfectly (no matter what the weather is like).
