I cannot say enough good things about our photographer/videographer from sound originals. Our photographer was on it. She paid attention to details, she hyped us all up and never made us feel awkward, communication was excellent, she even helped me put my veil on. Above all else the photographs she captured exceeded every expectation I had. I am the kind of person to take a million pictures of myself and hate them all, but I looked beautiful in every picture. My confidence after seeing those pictures has skyrocketed. She was a true gem of a human, the sidekick every bride needs. She knew when I had enough of posing for photos and wanted to get back to the party, and she never made us feel bad about it at all. I wish for every bride to have an amazing team behind them and just know if you choose to go with sound originals, you will.

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.

Jonathan is an amazing photographer who clearly shows his dedication and talent, and puts great care into his work! We were very fortunate to have found him shortly after our engagement in October 2023. His photography style and bold colors aligned with what we were looking for. Not only were we drawn to his work, but we loved his fun personality, his professionalism, and his kindness of wanting to know us! Jonathan asked about our story, got to know us as individuals and as a couple, and made sure to tell our story through our photos. He even went overtime to help us with our timeline! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the lens and calmed us when we felt we were not on schedule on the day of the wedding. We love our engagement photos and wedding photos. Highly recommend Jonathan as your photographer! We can’t thank him enough!

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 Lee Photography was an absolute dream to work with. From our first interaction, the team was friendly, timely, informative and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, their professionalism and attention to detail allowed us to simply enjoy the moment without worrying about a thing. The quality of their work was truly excellent - the photos are stunning and capture all the special moments of our day perfectly. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Emma Lee Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. You won't regret booking them!

To know Andrew is such a blessing BUT to be able to have one of the most special days of your life captured by Andrew, while having his grounded energy by your side is any couples dream come true. He is not only a visionary, but also a calm, collected and energizing presence necessary to have behind the lens through all of the wedding day festivities! He traveled to Italy for a few days with me, my spouse, my closest friends, and our family, and he left us with the most priceless photo memories. Not only is he a great dance partner and hypeman, he’s also an amazing photographer and his positivity brings a sense of joy to every photo opp. I don’t have all the right words to describe how much his presence meant on our special day but what I can say is- don’t think twice, you’ve found your photographer.

Lindsey Paradiso Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

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 the best decision we made for our wedding. We knew choosing our photographer was important, and while we initially picked her based off her photography style and the art she created for weddings, what we ended up with was so much more. She wrangled our scatter brained families, she kept everyone on track, and she always looked out for US. She was exactly as direct and forceful as our families required, without ruffling any feathers. She was professional, kind, and an over all rockstar. During the ceremony I caught a glimpse of her literally sprinting around with her camera in unforgiving heat. Lindsey gave it her all, for 10 hours straight, just to make sure we had memories of our special day. The day after our wedding Lindsey's name came up multiple time amongst our family and friends, always followed by the words "awesome" "amazing" "incredible". I never want to plan a wedding again, but if I did my first call would be to Lindsey.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of having Brynna shoot my wedding and I wouldn't have changed a thing! She made everyone feel so comfortable and confident. Both myself and my (now) husband are pretty shy people and we don't like being the center of attention, she knew exactly how to get us comfortable in front of the camera. She knows how to make everyone have a great time and forget the cameras are even there! Also she will make sure you get all the picture you are imagining and more, so don't be afraid to speak up if you have a vision in your mind! I was so beyond happy with all the pictures she got of the bridal party getting ready, our bridal pictures, our ceremony, or reception, and more. Now I have something to look back on remember how amazing and special our wedding was!! I HIGHLY recommend her for Weddings and any other occasion you want beautiful, authentic memories to look back on.

Your wedding is about you and all the amazing people there to celebrate. While I can take some Instagram-worthy portraits, I spend the majority of my time at weddings capturing all the little moments going on throughout the busy day. I want to capture the wedding in a way so when you get the images, you relive the story and feel how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the most magical, perfect wedding and one of the most wonderful things about it is I have incredible photos to remember it. I cannot emphasize this enough, if you need a wedding photographer, pick Erin. There are a lot of things I could say about Erin, but I’m going to break it down into two categories: experience and quality. Erin is warm, funny, and a wonderful listener. My husband and I both don’t love photos and from our engagement shoot onward Erin made us feel comfortable, engaged, and like ourselves. She takes extra time and effort to get to know you as a couple and what will and won’t work for you. All of my wedding party and many of my guests have reached out to me to remark on how wonderful, kind, and comfortable Erin made them feel during our wedding. Basically Erin is just amazing as a human and that translates into her being able to create an experience for you that allows you to focus on your event and the love you share with your partner and you never have to worry because you trust Erin will make things work because she understands you. Second, I AM SO BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY OF ERIN’S WORK! Like I knew from her website she’d be great, but looking over the photos we got after the wedding made me realize just how talented Erin is. She captured every moment and emotion so beautifully. I can see the love and joy in every photo. Seriously, I teared up when I looked at some of them because they so reflected how I felt in that moment. These are photos I’m going to look at for years to come and never wonder what was happening or how I felt because they were so well captured. Erin is a magician with her camera and you will not be disappointed for one second by how incredible your photos turn out. Erin is an incredible human and phenomenal photographer. I cannot sing her praises high enough. Hire her. You will not be disappointed and you’ll have your most precious memories captured to perfection.

Douglas was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on 08/17/24. Our original wedding photographer cancelled two weeks before our wedding, and a friend recommended we reach out to Doug. He was thankfully available and from the moment we reached out, he was so easy to communicate with - always quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and so easy-going. His work has been absolutely beautiful, he has an amazing understanding of light, composition, and framing with a lot of experience working with outdoor conditions that truly captured the essence of our special day. Doug fit right in with our wedding - he showed up early, stayed late, and somehow (while just following the standard schedule of the day) managed to get the most incredible true lighting and color in *all* of our photos - everything feels exactly like the day itself felt. We couldn't be happier with the results and would without a doubt recommend Douglas R Hall Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Fun, professional, and unique photos! Mahdi is the best photographer you could ever choose, book him! The photos he takes are flawless, creative, and stunning. He has an incredible eye and a knack for taking amazing candids of even the most camera-shy person. But the real reason we are obsessed with Mahdi, and will be going to him for all our future photography needs, is how wonderful he is to work with. His professional, easy-going nature is so calming through the stress of wedding planning. He is hard-working, very reassuring, easy to talk to, flexible, and dedicated to his clients. Also, we received all of our photos shortly after our wedding which was a nice touch! We are so glad we went with him and we can’t recommend Mahdi enough!!

Photography lets me combine all of my INFJ superpowers into one package, & it fills me with so much joy to share that with my clients. Beyond photography, I'm a total hippy at heart; I love all things nature, the moon, traveling, wildflowers, old creaky houses, thrift shopping, plants, hiking & horror movies.

I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea! I loved working with her and her assistant on the wedding day and leading up to the wedding. As a wedding planner, she made my job easier from start to finish! She was extremely kind and responsive in the months before the wedding. Chelsea was incredibly professional, genuine, and fun to work with on the wedding day not only with me and other vendors but with her couple and their guests. Her ability to make her couples feel at ease is reflected in her gorgeous photos.

Hey, I'm a Seattle Wedding and Elopement photographer. I truly believe in capturing candid in-the-heart moments over posed ones, as well as interactions with loved ones and all those beautiful in-between moments as your day unfolds. Because that is what you remember most; the connections, the full-laughter, the tears and heartfelt emotions — the essence of life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met Erin through searching for a new photographer as we didn’t love our engagement photos experience. Erin asked us thoughtful questions to pinpoint what we wanted for our wedding- 90’s Ralph Lauren vibes. We felt an instant connection with Erin and she is so easy to communicate with. Herself and her second photographer she brought for our wedding day knocked it out of the park. Our wedding was large with lots of family and friends but they managed to somehow be everywhere. Getting to look through all the moments we didn’t see on our wedding day was so special. Huge shoutout for saving the bride’s dress when her toe started bleeding shortly before the ceremony! We love Erin and look forward to using her again one day! Xo The Petersons

The thing I hear most from my couples? “You made us feel so comfortable.” Most people don’t love being in front of the camera (totally normal), but that’s where I come in—to help you feel like the best version of yourself while making memories you’ll actually want to hang on your walls. Your wedding photographer is with you through the quiet moments and the chaos, so it matters who you have by your side. With me, you get someone who knows how to read the room, roll with whatever the day brings, and add calm, joy, and confidence to it all.

I’ve been married once before and absolutely hated my first wedding photos so I was hesitant to hire a photographer. But when Jen showed up, she was extremely professional and super kind. She asked all the right questions before and on the wedding day and I fully trusted her to be able to do our pictures. When we got all of our photos back I was beyond ecstatic to see how well they turned out. She definitely captured us so well and the feel we wanted.

I believe that everyone is beautiful. Somewhere deep within you, there is a fire of light and joy. Not everyone’s light shines in the same way or with the same strength or even all the time. Stuff changes. People are different, but deep down, everyone is connected to the little bit of themselves that is truly theirs. I’m also all about being adventurous. That could mean we’re going to go climb a mountain or it might mean we’re going to try the really spicy chai tea. By experiencing life in the process of making photos, you’re going to be even more connected to the images because they will have stories that go along with them.

We had the privilege of working with Joe for multiple wedding events as we wanted a fall mountain top elopement & micro party followed by a larger party in the spring. As we started planning the different events, it was most important to us to have a photographer experienced in mountain top celebrations. We decided to work with Joe and could not have chosen better. Joe not only ran up a mountain with us but was involved in all the planning details including sharing a list of the best larch hikes, watching the weather and pinpointing exactly when golden hour would be hitting specific peaks. Even as the sun was setting and the light was fading, Joe found all the last bits of alpenglow to make us feel and look like we were the only ones standing on top of the world. He even carried heavy film cameras with him to capture the evening and we're so glad he did as they resulted in some of our favorite photos. The photos Joe took exceeded all our expectations and we have been excited and proud to share them with all our friends and family. Joe's skill doesn't stop on a mountain top. For our micro and macro party events, he brought an incredible sense of calm and serenity to all the wedding chaos around us. He was somehow everywhere, capturing incredible candid moments while still taking leadership to direct the posed shots we wanted. Joe captured the differences and highlighted the uniqueness in each of our events and yet each gallery we received feels cohesive and timeless. It's impossible to choose favorites and it's going to be very difficult to determine which photos to hang on our walls.
