I could not be more thrilled with our choice in photographer than Sound Originals! The quality of shots we received from our wedding were stunning, and that is entirely thanks to Kevin. He was so great at working with us to create beautiful, posed shots, but my favorite photos of the night are those were he captured the live moments of joy. Having the ability to have multiple editing styles was so amazing as it led to some beautifully crafted shots with unique lighting.

Svanna Andrada Photography was absolutely on point in their communication and the quality of their work was amazing, beautiful, and outstanding. They were so amazing, making sure to keep us on track all day (even though that wasn't their job) and they went above and beyond getting pictures of everything and everyone we asked of. She even helped me take my shoes off when my feet were hurting too bad - they were hands down the best photographers we could have asked for. They were absolutely amazing, sweet, so professional, had amazing photo ideas, and got all of our photos to us plus more on time. They even sent us a beautiful momentous box with all of our pictures printed, a beautiful USB drive with all our photos, a discount on another shoot, and a few other things. I can't stress enough how grateful we are for them and how much they will completely blow you away. I can promise you won't regret hiring them for any of your photography needs.

  • 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 couldn’t be happier that we chose Eliza as our photographer! From that unforgettable, rainy surprise sunrise engagement session at Rattlesnake Ledge to our wedding day on Orcas Island, she was ride-or-die and with us every step of the way. Eliza poured her heart and soul into capturing our journey, and it shows in every single photo. She has an incredible knack turning real moments into art, and we know we’ll cherish these photos forever. Beyond her talent, what really struck us was her warmth and dedication. Eliza made us feel so comfortable, even when we felt a bit awkward in front of the camera. She just knew how to bring out the best in us and keep things fun. We’re genuinely so grateful for everything she’s done for us, and we can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, communicates exceptionally well, reliably delivers, and goes above and beyond, Eliza’s the one. Thank you, Eliza, for being a part of our story!

A time capsule of who you are and how you love. Captured on digital, 35mm, and medium format. For those looking for memories, not just images. I am a photographer who is about keeping things fun and lighthearted, reminiscing on moments between you and your partner as well as helping create new ones. My goal is for you to be present on your day and to receive images that aren't just art, but memories to keep. Your images are meant to represent you and that's what I do. Please feel free to inquire on my website!

Elita is amazing photographer! We hired her for our entire wedding day and she did such a beautiful job. She puts so much care into the photos she takes. We hired her for an 8 hour day, some film photography, and a few Polaroids. Our photos are everything we could have ever wanted and our whole experience with Elita was great. As a bride she provided me with so much comfort during the planning process. She helped me create my whole day of timeline and helped me fit in every detail of the day. As someone who has never planned a wedding, it was incredibly helpful to hear from her how much time each thing would take. She got on a call with me and we planned the whole thing out. She also took into account small behind the scene things like the sunset, me bustling my dress, etc. I could not have done this part on my own but I know this is something not all photographers provide so I was really thankful. The day of she also was so sweet and helped me and my husband pose but also showed us moves that helped our photos turn out so natural. You can really see our love and our personalities in these photos. Finally, the photos themselves are more than we expected. We felt like in the end, she provided more photos than a usual photographer would have but they didn't lack any quality and she is at such an affordable price. We would recommend Elita if you want beautiful photos from a passionate photographer!

Hi there! We’re a photo + video duo based in the PNW, capturing love stories far and wide — and we mean far and wide (no travel fees, ever!). 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.

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!!)

***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.

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!

Hey! We’re Kate (she/her) and Josh (he/him) — a married wedding photography duo who show up with coffee in hand, backup snacks in the bag, and cameras ready to chase the kind of magic you’ll still be talking about 30 years from now. Based in the Pacific Northwest (and always down to travel), we’ve been documenting weddings for over 15 years — focused not on perfection, but on presence. We’re here for the real stuff: the awesome dance moves, the wild laughter, the soft hand squeezes, the inside jokes, the stolen glances, the last deep breath before you say I do. Your love isn’t staged — and your photos shouldn’t be either.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with G Squared Wedding Photography! From start to finish, Kate and Josh were absolutely amazing. Our photos turned out beautiful; every moment was captured so naturally and artistically, and I'll treasure them forever. I was so impressed by the fast turnaround; we had sneak peeks in no time. Kate’s dedication is unmatched. At one point during couple pictures on our wedding day, she was swarmed by hornets. After making sure she was okay, she rallied and kept capturing stunning shots like nothing had happened -- true professionalism! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and it was so easy to connect with her. Her husband, and assistant, was equally kind and supportive, making the whole day feel seamless and enjoyable. If you want gorgeous photos, a photographer who genuinely cares, and a team that will go above and beyond for you, G Squared is the way to go!

We believe that photographer first of all is an artist and not just the camera operator. The art is above all. And everytime we turn on the camera we create from scratch. Because people are not just freezed charachters before the "click" but personalities. So every photo would becomes not just a paused picture but your life moment. And that moment artist creates from scratch.

It was great from our “first look” with Sergey and Maria when we met in person and all the way down the road! We really love watching the shots and the movie again and again! And the shooting was fun with a lot of laughter, so easy, thanks!

I worked with Emily for our engagement photos and wedding day photography and can't say enough good things about her. She's organized, she's on top of it, she's super easy going, she's funny, she's thoughtful, and she takes amazing photos that truly capture your day. Working with her was a breeze and our photos were delivered faster than anticipated! On our wedding day, she somehow seamlessly patched in photo sessions, and when we weren't in designated photo sessions, she somehow took a bunch of candid photos and we didn't even realize she was there. We even had a massive bump in the timeline because of football-game-day traffic and road closures, but the timeline Emily built for us had enough buffer that we didn't miss a single photo session AND our wedding started on time... Simply amazing. If you're on the fence, just go with Emily! You will not regret it!

It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

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.

The sneak peeks are also so much fun (she sends a batch of photos shortly after she shoots you). But where Lacie shines and what I have to tell you about is everything else. She truly went above and beyond. She’s not just a photographer, she’ll be one of your favorite people on your special day. Yes, Lacie is kind and friendly and comforting and just the kind of person you need on your wedding day (and who you wished you roomed with in college). But she is so much more. Here are just some of the few meaningful things Lacie did that I noticed that I’ll forever carry with me. Firstly, I had a very important rosary I wanted to photograph, and with the chaos, I had forgotten. It would have broken my heart if I left it behind. Lacie remembered. I got fixated on an insignificant hiccup on my wedding day that could have ruined my day. Lacie redirected my attention to the things that really mattered and brightened up my mood immediately. Leading up to the wedding, Lacie advocated for me and my husband ensuring us she was fully dedicated to only us on the day, literally saying “You and Sean are my priority.” Nobody and nothing would take her attention away from us. She was always quick to respond to texts, I could go to her for quick wedding advice, and she’s genuinely so passionate about her craft. Lacie could really be a wedding planner with how much she knows. Other vendors loved working with her, especially our videographers. She was so quick, efficient, and took initiative. She gave them space and skillfully took turns capturing moments with them. With a big wedding party and spacious venue, we kept losing track of people for pictures, Lacie corralled them masterfully. She’s not afraid to get people to focus and get the photos done, but also in the most polite and respectful way. I watched videos of brides saying I wish this or that moment was captured. Sometimes I’d forget whether I had those moments captured myself. Then I go to Lacie’s photos and every single thing that brides mentioned got missed by their photographer she captured for me. Her vibe! She’s so positive and cheery. I was so nervous and also worried about how dark my church was. She got me excited about it after turning it into a positive saying it would look like the theater and she could absolutely work with it. I texted her a shoot list the night before our wedding. She carried that around and took it so seriously making sure she captured everything I listed. I made a Pinterest board of photos I liked and she remembered ones I forgot I included in there. She was my favorite vendor (tied with my incredible florist @dazyflorals) and the vendor I had no worries about it. I didn’t have to check in with her. I could trust her with my eyes closed. She’d be where she needed to be on time, professional, and prepared. I’m going to miss her. Sign her and soak up her sunshine for me, will ya?
