Sound Originals did an excellent job. Very communicative, and I got my photos back really quickly. The photographers they sent to my wedding were professional and experienced. Very pleasant interactions with Sound Originals staff. NOTE to all brides: I highly recommend taking the company up on their offer to have you meet with the photographer beforehand. I didn’t do this and regret it. Thank you Sound Originals!

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 dont even know where to start because everything they did was so perfect. From the first picture they took of me getting ready to the last dance, it was just magical. The photos looked like they came out of a magazine but still felt natural and true to us. I cried when I watched the video because it was like reliving the whole day in slow motion. Even the smallest things like my shoes and the rings were shot so beautifully. They were so calm and sweet with me when I was nervous before walking down the aisle. My husband and I just keep looking at the pictures over and over, we can’t get enuf. The editing is flawless but nothing looks fake. My family said its the best wedding video they ever seen. I am honestly so thankful, I will cherish this forever.

Jonathan Tung Photography 
Rating: 4.9 (17 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

No matter who you are or where you came from, everyone has a story, and stories were meant to be told. I tell stories through photography. Weddings are incredibly meaningful and intimate. I’m not just someone with a camera who shows up and takes pictures. I believe in truly connecting and engaging with my clients so I can best understand how I can tell their story. With a bright, clean, and vibrant photography style, I help bring my client’s vision to life through beautiful photos that can be cherished forever.

We were recommended to Jonathan by a friend and we were happy we selected him as our wedding photographer. In our video calls, he took time to get to know us and to learn what was important to us. We didnt want our wedding day to feel like a photo shoot and preferred a journalistic approach. Before the wedding, he provided a very helpful guide to prepare us for the big day. He was prompt in his email communications and we appreciated the attentiveness he gave us. During the wedding, he was good at being inconspicuous while taking photos. For most of the day, we didnt realize he and the second photographer were there! We gave him the nickname “Photo Ninja”! This allowed us to fully be in the moment and enjoy our wedding. Jonathan revealed the finished photos about a month after the wedding. We were very satisfied with them. There was a mix of group photos, journalistic photos of the ceremony/reception, still photos of decorations, and candid photos of the wedding party and guests. He did a great job of capturing the memories from the wedding. Overall, we are very pleased with Jonathans work. He was accommodating and flexible to fit our needs and budget. He was friendly and easy to talk to. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

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 photographed my elopement and was incredible throughout the whole process! Our original wedding idea was derailed by COVID so she helped us make an elopement plan, looked into locations for us, helped come up with a time table, and basically just made everything extremely easy. On the day of, she fit in so well with our tiny group and made everyone feel completely at ease (which is saying a lot for me, because I'm used to being a photographer as well and am extremely awkward in front of a camera). The images she produced are absolutely beautiful & captured the day, location, and feeling better than I could've possibly imagined. We are thrilled with our choice to have Chelsea document such an important day.
