  • Serves Elma, WA

I am so glad you found your way here! My name is Steph (it's lovely to meet you!). I was born and raised overseas in Sri Lanka and moved to the beautiful PNW for college and decided to stay. The world and the people in it are too beautiful not to be art - so here we are creating art out of the beautiful moments you and your lives bring into being. Besides taking photos, I am a big fan of milk tea, hedgehogs, my kid and husband, sleeping in, summer, curry, and friends to share it with. I would love to hear more about you and your story and how I can help document some of your beautiful moments!

From the moment we first spoke with Stephanie, I knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Stephanie's warm and thoughtful communication style immediately put us at ease, and her clear passion for her craft was evident. On the day of our wedding, Stephanie's keen eye and intuitive approach allowed her to seamlessly capture the emotion and spirit of the occasion, far beyond just the aesthetic details. She was a true professional, tirelessly focused on immortalizing the special moments between my husband and I, as well as all of our guests. I’ve sent so many photos to others who were in attendance and they’re shocked at the moment captured. There have been more than a few photos that just bring us to tears in her ability to just be there at the right time…and you’d never know it! She’s wonderfully stealth in her craft. Stephanie's fun and encouraging presence made her feel like part of our group, fitting right in. No meaningful moment was missed. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that now allow us to relive the day, and we wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to any couple seeking a responsive, talented, and truly thoughtful wedding photographer. We would happily be a reference for anyone wanting more details.

I cannot say enough about Tori and her photography experience. She photographed our engagement, wedding, and some boudoir photos. They all came out amazing! I was just looking through our wedding book and all I could do was smile. She got so many great photos of our day, our guests, all the details- it was so fun to look back and relive it! She is incredibly easygoing, fun, and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I would use her services again in a heartbeat! She has a true eye for amazing photos

Lemonade Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Elma, WA

I never meant to be a wedding photographer - but somehow, here I am. I started my career as a newspaper reporter, and left that to be a writer and photographer for a public university. Almost 10 years into my second career, I was laid off - so I turned some pretty sour lemons into Lemonade Photography. I'm a lifelong Northwesterner, a mom to two boys, a nature lover, a proud geek and quite possibly the biggest Harry Potter fan you'll ever meet (don't challenge me to a Potter trivia contest; you WILL lose). I love to laugh, and I love to make my clients laugh along with me.

Highly recommend working with Lemonade Photography! Our wedding was 5 years ago and we still have fond memories of working with Jill. She was great at capturing the feel we wanted, is super friendly, and easy to work with. Her communication is excellent, and you will feel very taken care of.

Annaliesa (and mark) went above and beyond. They helped us set up and break down. Anna was determined to get things done to the point we had to actually make her stop and eat. She cleared out chair to make a dance floor. She even helped with our kids while we were running around and getting ready. Mark even made me a plate of food and made me sit down to eat in the middle of all the chaos. Which I really appreciated. They were on top of everything! And she got all of our pics back to us in less than 24 hours!! We love all our pics and are so thankful we have these memories captured.

Awarded Best of Zola
The team at Original Photo & Video was friendly, professional, and full of creative ideas that made us feel confident and cared for. They listened closely to our shot list and brought it to life — the drone footage was especially epic! We can't wait to see the final gallery and relive every moment through their lens. Their style is cinematic yet deeply personal - every frame feels intentional, romantic, and full of movement. Teddy (Lead Photo) and Gabby (Second Photo) captured not just the big moments, but the quiet, emotional ones too, with an eye for light and composition that made everything look editorial-worthy. Jem (Lead Video) and Feddy (Second Video) brought such positive energy to the day - they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, capturing magic without ever interrupting the flow. You could feel their passion in every interaction, and it was contagious. Our other vendors kept commenting on how much they loved working alongside them — they were collaborative, respectful, and made everyone feel like part of the story. We're so grateful to have had this dream team documenting our day!

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!

We had an incredible experience with Allison Lauryn Photography for our wedding! Allison’s professionalism stood out from the start—she clearly knows what she’s doing. I’ve been in weddings where posed photos take hours, but Allison was so efficient and got every shot we wanted in a short amount of time without feeling rushed. The candid photos from the reception are amazing; seeing all the interactions of our guests was such a gift since the day itself was a whirlwind for us. She even accommodated a last-minute request just a week before the wedding to add her photo booth option, which was a huge hit with everyone! Allison communicated clearly, laid out a timeline for photo delivery, and delivered exactly as promised. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Allison Lauryn Photography to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer

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.

Our experience with JL Thomas Photography was incredible. We are so grateful to have booked with Jen. She answered all of our questions and more. With the package we booked for our day, we did the pre wedding shoot, which we used for our save the date invites. Jen was very easy to work with, kind, fun, and non-judgmental. We were very inexperienced with posing as a couple, Jen was very helpful and guided us through the shoot. For the wedding day, she was on time and kept communication going with a zoom meeting a week or two before the wedding and throughout the wedding day. Everyone that met Jen at our wedding complimented, "man, your photographer is so nice!" and we agree! She gave us sneak peek photos of our day very quickly and already we were so impressed! When we got the full photo package, we were in awe! There are so many great moments documented with friends and family. Our couple shots were so well done, and we loved her editing style. I can't brag enough about how we loved our photographer and our photos.

Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have used many photographers in the past but none came close to the level of expertise that Leah possesses. Over the years, I've done business headshots with her, family photos, and most recently my wedding. Since I have used Leah's services for other things before, I knew what to expect as far as photo-quality goes; the real testimonial comes from how she handled the wedding. Shooting a wedding in another country with a chaotic family is no easy task, even I wouldn't wish it upon myself, but Leah truly knocked it out of the park: she checked in before the event day to go over the schedule, showed up early, got all of the extra shots that I requested, directed people, and just really took charge of the experience. Having her as my wedding photographer was literally one of the only non-stressful decisions I made for that event lol. The photos turned out beautifully, I really can't imagine having anyone else capture one of the most important events of my life. I recommend her wholeheartedly!!

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + adventure weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people have the wedding of their dreams in magical outdoor spaces. When you choose to elope, you’re choosing to get married free of society’s wedding day expectations. So go wild! Spend the entire day in your favorite place, with your favorite person. Wear a fancy outfit, or wear your hiking boots. Invite your dog instead of your mom’s second cousin. Share your first kiss under the stars instead of under an altar. In the great outdoors, you write the wedding rules. And I’m here to help make it an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began looking for a photographer for our micro-wedding, we gravitated towards Nadia’s images over and over again. Not only did they capture raw, intimate moments between couples and families, but they elevated those moments in elegant and natural landscapes of the PNW; everything we wanted. We reached out and set up a consultation call immediately. We were initially nervous and felt very unprepared to speak with photographers because we had zero ideas for what our special day would look like, but after our call with Nadia we were confident that Venture Ever After was the right choice for us. She was so knowledgeable and did a TON of legwork planning our timeline to best capture the moments we wanted in the lighting we needed, recommending a variety of locations for some private moments as a couple and group activities with our family, and keeping us grounded and calm throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Nadia took the reigns and gently guided us through the day with compassion and grace. She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details. She even conquered some pretty crazy heights armed with multiple cameras and a walky-talky to capture some dramatic and beautiful couple’s portraits. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Nadia is one of the most genuine and kind people I’ve met. She has a knack for keeping elopement/wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. My partner and I truly felt like models. I feel so blessed to have our wedding photographed by her and, above all, be able to call her a friend. I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW. In fact, I hope to be able to visit her and capture anniversaries and momentous occasions for our family long into the future.

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!

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 hired Jonathan for wedding photography, and he was easy to work with and very organized. He visited and researched the venue (Seattle Aquarium) and lighting on his own (no flash by the fish, dark interior), and proactively setup meetings and reminders. We had never hired a photographer for a large event before, and Jonathan explained what shots would work best and timing. Jonathan worked with an associate photographer to shoot the wedding, which went very smoothly, and then Jonathan did the final editing. The photos turned out great and we received them a few weeks after the wedding.

Our journey with Ann Marie started when we won (after the first winners didn’t need it after all) her engagement photo package at the Portland Venue Crawl. We were beyond grateful and excited to win such a valuable experience and quickly realized that Ann Marie was going to be so fun to work with. She helped us pick an amazing location that required some travel for her, and it was so much fun - we got sun, fog, rain, sunset, and even a rainbow! She was prepared for it all and made it such a fun adventure. We were really nervous and she helped us chill and get a bit more comfy in front of the camera. She delivered our sneak peaks the next day which were so fun to look through and was extremely prompt with getting us the rest of our gallery. Naturally, we hired Ann Marie for our wedding too and cannot imagine having anyone else! She was so helpful through the stressful wedding planning process, sending us vendor recommendations and always being available if we had questions or needed advice. She has an amazing network and her want to help with things not even photography related was so impressive and very appreciated. There was a major health scare in my family, we weren’t even sure if my dad was going to make it to wedding day and Ann Marie was so kind and supportive. She captured moments for my family that carried a lot of weight and she did it with such grace and thoughtfulness. We are all so grateful for her commitment to making wedding day as special as possible, for my husband and I but also our loved ones. We’ve gotten an amazing selection of sneak peaks and should be getting our full gallery soon - we couldn’t be more excited! Ann Marie is impressively prompt and has communicated with us each step of the way so we were never left to wonder “what’s next?” All of our friends and family are also very impressed with Ann Marie as a photographer and as a person.

I'm a lifelong resident of Washington State and I’ve spent many years exploring the breathtaking landscape of the Pacific Northwest, always with a camera in hand! It's an honor to be in the world of weddings where we bring the magic of love and beautiful scenery together to create memories that are everlasting. We have a close-knit group of skilled wedding artists, who are the heart and soul of our company! From the first consultation to delivery of your imagery, you’re guided personally by me and my Event Coordinator, to ensure you have a stellar personal experience. We're beyond excited to be part of the most memorable day of your life!

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!

Lindsey Paradiso Photography

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.

Lindsey is such an amazing talent with an equally kind heart. We were lucky enough to work with her for our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. She went above and beyond our expectations in so many ways, and delivered quality work that we will cherish for a lifetime. We felt so comfortable with her behind the lense, which is not an easy task. She scouted beautiful scenery for our sunrise engagement photos, and even reserved a campsite for us to stay the night before. She helped us incorporate our lovely pup into our photos, both on the wedding day and for our engagement shoot, hired a great second shooter for the wedding day, and rolled with all the challenges of a wedding day (on her birthday!) with ease. We are lucky to still be in contact with her and truly enjoy her company. Such a beautiful human, with a stunning, artistic eye.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

We had a great experience with Mae! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole shoot and made sure we got a bunch of great photos in some gorgeous locations. Post-shoot she put in so much effort editing our photos to make sure they were perfect once they were turned around to us which didn't take long at all. Highly highly recommend Mae for any photoshoot needs you might have!
