  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Natalie is a Taiwanese-American artist inspired by warmth & connection, reminiscent of her upbringing in Hawai'i. She graduated from NYU Tisch with a BFA in Photography while working alongside fashion designers & directors on editorial and campaign productions. For over a decade, Natalie has directed her lens towards weddings, finding a meaningful depth in the relationships that she develops with her subjects and the cultural & physical environments that surround them. Her background in fashion marries a tender, documentarian perspective to provide refined imagery with an editorial edge without compromising the truth of what happened.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Natalie, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. Her creative eye is unmatched, and she provided such thoughtful guidance on posing, which made the entire process feel natural and effortless. Natalie has a true talent for capturing moments in a way that feels both timeless and artistic. I also want to highlight her editing for film photos—it’s nothing short of incredible! The tones and textures she brings out are so beautifully done and added an extra layer of charm to the photos. If you’re looking for a photographer with an exceptional eye and a warm, professional approach, I can’t recommend Natalie enough. She’s truly a gem!

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Zoe grew up in a small town in Western Canada, earned a degree in fashion design in Vancouver, and lived 12 awesome years in NYC, before recently relocating to Seattle WA. After a rewarding career as a women's footwear designer, she left the fashion industry behind to follow her passion of becoming a wedding and family photographer full-time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Asking Zoe to photograph our wedding was one of the best wedding decisions we made! Zoe is an artist. We’ll treasure our photos for the rest of our lives. Zoe is definitely the person you want to spend your wedding day with (after your spouse, duh)! She has such a calm and cool demeanor and everyone loved working with her. Zoe will also do whatever it takes to get THE perfect shot. We chose a challenging venue, the Seattle Aquarium, with very specific lighting requirements to protect the sea life. Zoe went out of her way to scope out spots and test equipment before the big day. Zoe is so creative when it comes to lighting and all of our wedding guests have been gushing about how cool her photos are.

Charlotte Gonzalez is a Washington-based wedding photographer serving the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Her work blends editorial and fine art storytelling, capturing genuine emotion and refined, timeless moments. With experience across the spectrum from dark & moody, true-to-color, and light & airy she collaborates closely with each couple to create imagery that reflects their vision and their story. Picture what you love. Let’s capture it—beautifully, intentionally, and forever.

From our very first interaction, it was clear that Char was the perfect wedding photographer for us. She came prepared with a second shooter (her hubby, Dan) and they are quite the duo! They were able to communicate without words and anticipate what the other is doing to ensure that they are covering all angles beautifully. They are incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and thoughtful in their approach, which gave us complete confidence leading up to the big day. Their experience truly shows—they anticipated moments before they happened and captured both the big highlights and the quiet, emotional details we didn’t even realize were unfolding. Char's calm, steady presence was invaluable on a day that can feel overwhelming. She kept things moving efficiently without ever making us feel rushed, and her clear direction helped group photos go smoothly and quickly. She has a wonderful balance of professionalism and warmth, making everyone—from our wedding party to our grandparents—feel relaxed and cared for. She has a remarkable eye for storytelling, documenting the day exactly as it felt rather than just how it looked. The candid moments, genuine laughter, and raw emotion she captured are priceless. She was incredibly adaptable, handling last-minute changes, lighting challenges, and unexpected situations with grace and creativity. In addition, her follow-through after the wedding was just as impressive. From sneak peeks to final delivery, everything was timely, beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. She is not just a photographer—she is a trusted professional who elevates the entire wedding experience. We cannot recommend her and her hubby highly enough!

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.

Tetiana Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

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
I cannot say enough positive things about Tetiana aka Tanya. Over the past 2-3 years, I have had the opportunity to work with her on dozens of weddings and editorials, and more recently, professional portraits for my own business. Tanya is creative, professional, compassionate, and skilled. She has a way of being with people that puts them at ease, and uplifts them without even trying. During our portrait session, it felt like we were just hanging out (I consider myself to be somewhat awkward, especially in front of the camera, so that says a lot). She had countless suggestions for shots I never even know I needed. Now that I have my full gallery back, I can officially say that I am thrilled with the results. The photos were originally intended for my social media channels and website, but I realize they're so much more than that, and will be keepsakes I will cherish and look back on years from now to remember this part of my 30's. If you're on the fence about hiring Tanya, let this review be your deciding factor!

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!

Amy Kiel Photography

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

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 is an absolute joy to work with. She takes her job very seriously and maintains the perfect balance of being professional while also building a relationship that makes it feel like she is another friend at your wedding (well, she is now!). Her photography is beautiful and timeless and she stays true to her craft and doesn’t cater to trends and over-editing. I feel like our wedding photos are fine art pieces that look truly magical displayed in our home. Would 100% recommend.

Anna Peters Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

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 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

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!

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Awarded Best of Zola
Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Dionne Kraus Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I am a firm believer that friendship comes from learning the weird and quirky about a person, and still wanting to hang out with them after. And, since you will literally spend more time with your photographer than most anyone else on your wedding day, I want to be friends. We NEED to be friends. Like, I’ll-probably-end-up-holding-your-dress-up-while-you-pee type friends. That’s practically BFF status. I’m not only in the business of capturing your epically rad and emotional moments, I am also in the business of making lasting friendships, both of which I’m really awesome at.

Dionne could not have been better. She is such an enthusiastic, fun professional. She helped us feel comfortable, and made sure our day ran smooth even with a small hiccup. Her photography is breath taking. It was one of my favorite things to com out of my wedding day! Her ability to capture light, and add her own artistic view made it extremely hard to pick favorites! We would 12/10 recommend Dionne again and again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Valerie is absolutely amazing. Obviously her work is so good, but she made the experience so much more! She was so incredibly easy to work with, so timely, couldn’t have been nicer, and overall an amazing photographer. I would choose her a million times over! My dad actually thought she was one of my friends from high school or college, because of how personable she was to all of our friends and family. She listened to everything we wanted and definitely delivered. We had a call a few weeks ago to discuss our timeline and she was so patient and helped us understand how the day would go / what we actually wanted. There were times when I was stressed and I can’t even tell you how calm she was and made us feel. My husband hates having his picture taking and didn’t expect to like the experience very much. He could not stop talking about how comfortable Valerie and her second shooter made him feel. We chose to do super 8 as well and I am so glad we did. I love that she has film option ad ons, as it definitely fit the vibe we were going for. Overall- Valerie is SO great to work with. She is so talented. I would absolutely recommend her- you won’t regret it!!!

We had Chloe do couples photos in 23 and then our wedding in 24. She was so creative and easy to work with in both sessions. During our wedding she was a true “fly on the wall” for moments I didn’t even know she was paying attention to. We received so many photos and were in awe at what she captured. Now we have many of her photos scattered throughout our home and smile each time we see them.
