Awarded Best of Zola
Absolutely thrilled with our experience with JL Thomas Photography! From our first meeting to the final delivery of our photos, they were nothing short of exceptional. Their professionalism, creativity, and passion for photography truly shine through in every shot. On the big day, Jennifer was a calming presence, she captured every moment without being intrusive. She has an incredible talent but knowing how to make you feel comfortable, beautiful and not camera shy. I am obsessed with our photos and I am an awe, the attention to detail is evident; from the candid shots of our guests enjoying themselves to the stunning portraits of us as a couple. The way Jennifer captured the emotion and joy of our wedding day is something we will cherish forever. The turn around was just as promised, she delivered our photos about 7 weeks after our wedding and gave us a sneak peak a couple days after the wedding. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who will go above and beyond to make your wedding memories unforgettable this is it. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you for making our day even more magical!

We’re Alexis + Katrina—married, full of dad jokes, and absolutely obsessed with storytelling. We met online, bonded over photography, and turned that shared love into a life and business centered on connection and creativity. On wedding days, we bring calm energy, big laughs, and our full hearts. We’re all about capturing moments that feel like you—from wild dance floor joy to quiet in-between magic. When we’re not behind the camera, we’re wrangling our three dogs, gaming, or chasing sunsets in the PNW.

In May 2023, I began my search for a photographer. My significant other had just proposed and I was on the hunt for someone amazing. As time went quick, I eventually dedicated myself to researching all the local photographers I could find in Skagit County/near by areas. Among my search, I was looking for high quality and an aesthetically pleasing style of photos/editing. The search was long and tedious, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel… and my light was AK Photography. Alexis and Katrina are the best photographers in Skagit county. They do family photos, weddings, engagement sessions, and much more! AK listened to my SO’s and own ideas, and provided valuable information during our wedding planning. AK photography is informative, collaborative, engaging, easy to communicate with, and the best option compared to all others I met with. The mini engagement session was stunning and matched our vibe. Plus, photos were received back in lighting time! During our wedding (June 2024), they brought every emergency item you could think of and assisted with resolving any problems that arose. Having a large (160 person) wedding was chaotic to say the least. The presence of AK was exactly what we needed, and they are the best fit for a couple looking to get wedding photos taken. Compared to all other photographers, AK brought twice the power and 10 times the productivity. My husband and I would not have felt as comfortable during our wedding if we did not have AK Photography. We will be going back to AK for forever more, and cannot wait to schedule our next mini session! Thank you AK Photography! Your presence, friendship, and photography ability is the best thing we could have asked for! Amazing work and outstanding delivery!

Original Weddings Photo & Video helped make our wedding day even more special. Anthony was wonderful to work with and made us feel comfortable right away. He captured both the emotional highlights and small in-between moments that we’ll always treasure. The process was smooth from start to finish.

Specializing in Outdoor Weddings and Elopements! Growing up fishing and hiking at the age of three, I spend as much time as possible outside! Searching out new swimming holes in the summer, traveling to the mountains and along the coast throughout the year! Backpacking, hiking and climbing. Quickly adding more locations to shoot!

I was drawn to Dustin's passion for nature and experience with outdoor setting for weddings. We had an elopement ceremony by the river and Dustin captured the warmth and love of our special day. I'm so appreciative of the positive energy and enthusiasm he brought and his flexibility to take photos at multiple locations. He exceeded our expectations and his passion for nature and people shines through. Great communication, arrived early, and beautiful photos!

Hi! I'm Lauren, but you can call me Ren. It's so great to meet you! I've had the privilege of photographing love and connection for the past six years, and I still smile when I tell people that this is my job—because it’s never felt like one. Being invited into such intimate and vulnerable moments is something I don't take lightly. I’m not just here to take pretty photos; any photographer can do that. I want to create an experience that genuinely reflects your love story and helps you remember what it felt like to love deeply in this moment, right now.

Ren has a warm and welcoming personality and is fun to work with! She is an expert in capturing candid moments (and those are the best ones). Fiance and I had our 1st photoshoot together and it didn't feel awkward at all! Ren goes through the effort and extra time to get to know the couple she'll be working with before doing the actual shoot. We loved working with Ren because every communication reminded us that she cared and listened to what we wanted to convey in our photos. She has only shown us the sneak peeks for now and oh my we are in love with them! Can't wait to see the final photos! Thank you Ren!

My favorite colors are yellow & orange, my love languages are words of affirmation & quality time, & most importantly, I'm obsessed with my guinea pigs, Nugget & Corndog. To me, capturing your story means looking for little interactions during our session, going to places special to you, including the things you love, & creating an environment where you’re comfortable being who you are. Our lives are precious, and the littlest moments become the biggest ones.

Where to even start. Eva has been my go to photographer for many years now. She's captured my proposal, engagements and wedding day. There truly aren’t enough words to explain how amazing Eva is. She’s the most kind and thoughtful person I’ve ever met. She pours EVERYTHING into her work and clients. Not only will you be left with the dreamiest, most magical and emotional photos to treasure forever, you’ll enjoy every second of the experience with Eva. She naturally guides you through your photo sessions making you relax and actually have fun through it all. Shes always listening and supporting from the initial email to final photo delivery. I’ve been lucky enough to know Eva and watch her become even more talented year after year. I could truly keep gushing over her as she’s made every one of my photo dreams come true. If you’re ready to work with someone who is so passionate and will do everything in her power to make you happy and bring your vision to life, Eva is your new bestie to do just that!

I am based in beautiful Bellingham and frequently travel all over the Pacific Northwest to work with fabulous people like you. Established in 2010 and feel incredibly lucky to live a life doing what I love very most- capturing those fleeting moments creatively and telling the stories that make life so sweet. When not behind the lens you can frequently find me antiquing with my husband, playing with our Morkie, swimming in Lake Whatcom or getting heated over another game of cribbage.

Katheryn is absolutely wonderful to work with. I would very highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She is creative, friendly and professional. I am always thrilled with the results when Katheryn is behind the lens! I've lost count of the number of times we've worked together and every time has been great. Hire her, you won't regret it!

We cannot say enough good things about Luke and his skills! From start to finish Luke was attentive, responsive, flexible, and super knowledgeable. During our initial meeting, he was able to answer all of our questions, even putting us at ease during all things covid, and his friendliness and professionalism are so well balanced it felt like talking to a good friend. He kept in contact with us leading up to the wedding, helped us with any last minute things, and even helped put together our day of timeline! On the day of the wedding, he brought such an uplifting and positive energy, and made taking photos a fun experience rather than an awkward task and all of our guests loved the way he was there to capture everything; even the littlest candid or goofy moments! The photos we received from our wedding day are absolute perfection and it feels like reliving our day! His prices are very reasonable considering the amount and quality of edited photos we received. There truly is no one better and we highly recommend Luke to anyone looking for a photographer for their engagement and/or wedding!

I wanted my marriage to start with non forgettable moments between just my wife and I. It was important to share are intentions for the rest of our lives in nature that represented the magnitude and beauty of the commitment we were making and of the love we share. Bill and Tracey were absolutely amazing and helped all our dreams come true. Starting with the planing process they relived so much stress and provided great intel of the area and ideas for our stay in Washington. They were perfect at directing us what to do while simultaneously letting us feel like it was just the two of us in nature. On top of the experience there work really speaks for itself I have to say we are in absolute awe of the finished product. They have captured not only the places we were in but the feelings we had in our most important days. On top of all the amazing things they did for us they were also really good people that were easy to get along with and I would recommend them in a heart beat for anyone that wants an incredible experience.

Working with Double Coast was fun and easy. My fiance wasn't stoked about having professional photos taken and thought things would be awkward and posed. Not with Sandra! She was relaxed and really good about catching the "in-between" moments where our personalities were revealed. She's also so prompt with sending a batch of preview photos that are gorgeous. Her style is intimate and timeless and we will definitely treasure her work forever.

We're Natasha and Brian! A husband and wife, PNW elopement photographer duo. When we're not getting slimed by our own slobbery dog Fern, or helping you plan your dream wedding day, you can probably find us alpine lake lounging, making a weird new kimchi flavor, or deep on the forestry roads in our (always dirty) Tacoma blasting some indie alt or rap (there's rarely an in between lol). We're your photographers, die-hard dog petters, and donut-eaters that are all about playful banter, real conversations, and no icky small talk.

For me and my now-husband Ryan, the importance of finding an excellent wedding photographer was unparalleled. We discovered Natasha and immediately were drawn to the nostalgic, film quality to her work. We love the way she captures moments that feel both so real and so dreamy at the same time. It’s an art! Additionally, correspondence with Natasha was always a pleasure. She was speedy in her responses, always answered any questions, and just extremely down-to-earth and easy going. Our introduction to working with Natasha came from our winter engagement session. We chose to do the shoot at home and around our neighborhood in Seattle. Though we were still nervous in front of the camera, Natasha chatted with us and helped us open up. The photos from this December day were cozy, comfortable, and felt completely like us! And finally the Big Day arrived! Natasha and Brian photographed our July 2023 wedding and the results were just perfect - more lovely than we could have dreamed. On top of that, we loved getting to hang out with them! They made our wedding day feel calmer, more relaxed, and allowed us to just be us. We highly recommend Natasha and Brian for all your engagement and wedding photography needs. They’re the best!

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.

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.

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.

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 was was absolutely awesome to work with! She made my now husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and loved how natural the photos look! Emma was so organized and had great communication throughout so I never had to worry about anything along the way. I cannot wait for Emma to capture our life events going forward!

Definitely one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. We had Ann Marie do our engagement photos and we loved her from the start and loved how they came out. We were devastated when we found out she was already booked for our wedding date, but she got us set up with one of her associates Elena at a discounted rate. Even though she wasn't going to be there on our big day she still put in so much effort to help us decide the timeline and the shot list. She kept in contact with us the whole time and really made us feel confident about the big day. She will still be doing the editing in her style and we are absolutely thrilled with the sneak peek shots we've gotten so far! She even threw in an extra photographer for us for free which was incredibly kind of her, although unfortunately that photographer was sick on the day of the wedding so we still ended up with just one. But Elena was great and made us feel totally at ease and got every shot on the list. She kept everything running on time despite the timeline having been created for two photographers. Ann Marie and Elena were a dream team to work with and I can't say enough good things about them.

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.

Mae Krell Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, they were communicative, professional, and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. As a queer couple where one of us is plus-size, we were nervous about being in front of the camera, but Mae put us right at ease. The photos they captured are absolutely beautiful - they have such an artistic eye and really highlighted the love and joy of our special day. We had never had professional photos taken before, but Mae made the entire experience comfortable and affordable. We would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for gorgeous, personalized wedding photography.
