I am a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Northern Colorado and Western Washington. In my free time I hike, eat lots of food and play with cat & dog. I find photography to be an amazing creative outlet and love using it as a way to connect with some amazing people.

Awarded Best of Zola
We enjoyed Ashley (and Nate) through and through. They are friendly, professional, and experts at what they do. We are obsessed with every photo we got back, felt extremely comfortable in front of the camera with them, and loved the unique settings and poses we got to do. Ashley also saved the day many times during my wedding (helped with my bustle, fixed a bar issue, etc) and I couldn’t thank her enough. Will be using them in the future for any photographic needs they are willing to work with us for!!

I hired Vic to photograph my bridal shower based on some recommendations on FaceBook! I took one look at her portfolio and knew that she was talented. She made the booking process super easy and was reachable via Email and Text. She formalized the agreement via contract which was very professional and helped me guarantee that she would be committed to my event. On the day of the event, she went above and beyond. She helped calm me as we were running a bit late but she kept things moving the whole event. She captured photos of me, my guests, and got detailed shots of all our decorations. Our guests loved that she offered pointers on how to pose and stand. Not to mention she took several photos of every shot - I’ve worked with photographers in the past who will only take 1 shot, but not Vic! After the event, she gave me all the unedited photos within 48 hours which was a HUGE win! She captured around 700 photos of my 2 hour event - I was stunned in the best way. Overall, working with her was a dream and I cannot wait to hire her for my next event.

Imagine Elopements Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Dayton, WA

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

As two VERY busy people who get camera shy, my husband (eeek! Crazy I get to call him that!!) and I do not have many photos together that are worthy of framing, or even posting on socials for that matter. So going into this experience, I knew we needed someone that could make us feel comfy, capture who we actually are as a couple, and be able to organize all the behind the scenes aspects of our sessions. In walks Mia. Mia took care of quite literally every aspect of our sessions. We did an engagement and elopement session at Mt Ranier in November. She drove up several days BEFORE our scheduled shoot to scope out the area, take notes on open paths, gauge the sunrise and sunsets, prepare for the weather changes, etc etc. Literally all the things that we would never have thought of, she did. We had a Pinterest board of outfits and inspo, a packing list of items we most def did need, phone calls to get to know each other, a centralized location for anything related to our sessions, and most importantly: peace of mind. I cannot rant and rave about how flawless the process was leading up to our sessions with Mia. Then the day of, we could not have asked for a more intimate and perfect day. Mia was so sweet, boosting us as a couple but also stopping to fix my hair or helping us to get those perfect swoon-worthy shots with poses we wouldn't have thought to do. However, it truly felt like we were in our own little world and Mia was just a fly on the wall. I feel like the pictures truly encompass how we are as a couple, which is so rare and beautiful of a thing to capture. Just go to her website, all of her work speaks for itself. If you want to see our pictures, we are "Liz and Cameron". The moments she captured are being framed for our home and have been shared endlessly. They are absolutely timeless. We cannot wait to see Mia again to capture more of our lives together.

Georgy Shishkin Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Dayton, WA

Hi, I'm Georgy Shishkin — a wedding and elopement photographer with over 19 years of experience capturing love stories in breathtaking landscapes. Based in Oregon, I photograph weddings across the Pacific Northwest, California, and British Columbia. My background in photojournalism taught me how to anticipate real emotion, while my years in wedding photography taught me how to guide and support couples in front of the camera. I love helping people who’ve never modeled before feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely connected. Every story is personal to me — I’m not just your photographer, I’m your teammate throughout the day.

We eloped. Just the two of us, mountains around, wrapped in a checkered blanket with our hearts racing and headlights glowing behind us — and Georgy somehow turned all of that into pure poetry. These are, without exaggeration, the most beautiful photos we’ve ever had taken. Not just because of the location or the light (which were stunning), but because Georgy captured something deeper: how we felt. The joy, the quiet, the closeness, the nervous laughter… every photo feels like a little window back into that day. He made us feel completely comfortable, even in the middle of wild nature. It never felt staged or forced — just natural, gentle, and easy. Georgy gave us space to be ourselves and somehow still knew exactly when to click the shutter. We’re so grateful. These images are more than wedding photos — they’re memories we’ll carry forever. If you’re considering booking Georgy: do it. He has an incredible eye, a calming presence, and a gift for turning fleeting moments into timeless art. Thank you!!!

Julia is professional, organized and so very talented. She's also calm under pressure and a lot of fun. Julia was able to navigate the wedding (without being obtrusive) and took the most amazing shots -- all according to plan, and many more that were candid -- and those moments we will always cherish.

We were so happy to find Janane when we decided to take engagement photos. Being new residents of Portland, OR, Janane was able to give us a bunch of great recommendations. It was also dead set in the middle of winter (Dec/Jan) in Portland, but she didn't deter us from taking engagement photos. Luckily, we ended up with one of the few days and time of the day when there was actual sunshine and no rain! The photos came out amazing. Janane gave us a bunch of pointers and tips to prepare. But she's respectful and made sure you're comfortable with the shoot. It was a fun hour with Janane! She has a great eye for photography. Outside of the photoshoot, Janane was responsive and communicative. We got our photos by the promise date. We would recommend Janane for anyone looking for an engagement or wedding photographer.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

They also stayed and got some awesome photos of the whole entire wedding crew. This day was very special to us and they made sure that it was documented.

I was raised in the Pacific Northwest and have lived here for basically my whole life. I fell in love with photography and it’s ability to make time stand still. It has allowed me to meet so many new people and discover so many new places that it has truly become my dream job. I have two littles, and two doggos, and a wonderful and supportive husband. I have made the Seattle area my home for over 10 years now. My passion other than family and photography, is traveling. I want to see everything this world has to show me.

Sam was a dream. Not only did she get pictures of every aspect of my special day but she brought an upbeat energy and positive attitude that really helped calm wedding nerves!

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

As a kid it never dawned on me that my obsession with polaroid film, disposable cameras and old family photographs would lead me to being a full time wedding photographer, but here we are and boy do I feel lucky. So who the heck am I? I'm the kid who sat next to you in your high school art class that was WAY too excited for our next project. I'm that friend who loves to laugh till they cry over a silly Parks and Rec meme. I love meeting new people (and will totally hug you the first time I meet you!) and I'll be the old lady who is pretty darn proud of every wrinkle that came her way from smiling way too much.

Jennifer is incredible! She was so kind, personable, responsible and professional. She had two wonderful photographers shoot our wedding who were so easy to work with and excellent. She is very responsive and detail oriented. Highly recommend!

I've been photographing weddings for 25 yeas in 2024! I love capturing authentic moments in true color. I went to college to learn photography and business. I've always wanted to be a photographer, and my studio specializes in weddings, maternity, newborns, and family photography. I believe in capturing all of the milestone moments for you, from when your family begins to when your kids go to college.

If you want to blissfully enjoy your big day without worrying about moments you might miss - I’m your girl. Capturing the candids and in-betweens, and keeping you on cloud nine, all while bouncing around like a ball of energy!

Awarded Best of Zola
Destini is such a kind and fun photographer. She treats all her clients like friends and genuinely cares for all of them. Her big heart and spunky personality really makes taking photos with her feel so smooth and easy. She lets everyone around her feel comfortable to be totally and completely themselves. I love that about her.

Hello! My name is Katya! I am thrilled you are interested in choosing me to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who inspires you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. And, hopefully someone who eventually becomes a friend. I'm excited to give you a little tour so you can learn more about me - the process of working together - and my wedding collections!

Katya was so amazing to work with! She was so efficient, kind, and took gorgeous photos! The spot she took us in Farragut had a beautiful background and was perfect! The photos turned out so beautiful and were everything we were hoping for! I got married at a church, and so the lighting was difficult, but Katya still managed to take great photos inside as well! Thank you Katya, for doing such a wonderful job!
