Top Wedding Photographers in Seattle's Eastside

Your wedding day is going to be one that you will of course never forget. Having images that capture the magic of that day will give you the opportunity to look back and remember the joy you felt and to spread that feeling with others as you share the stories through pictures. Along with the dress and location, choosing the right photographer is perhaps one of the most important and impacting decisions you can make when planning your nuptials.

It seems like there are so many people out there who take great pride in photography, so it is a daunting task to weed through the thousands of online photo galleries and various rate structures. Well, if you live in Western Washington, I have found five amazingly talented photographers for you! That's right! I have taken the hard work out and narrowed down some choices you won't regret taking the time to consider. Many times when you live near a major metropolitan area, like Seattle, it is easy to head straight for the big city. However, the choices I have found for you are based on the Eastside, and yes they travel to many areas across the region! The uniqueness and pricing* of these talented artists are detailed below. So, in no particular order, let's get started!

Luce Bella Photography- Bellevue, WA

The photography produced by Shari at Luce Bella tells a story. The wedding unfolds in chapters as you browse through the galleries of her work. The photos are not staged nor posed, but rather caught in candid moments that take the emotion off of the screen or print and pull you into the story yourself! The rate structure for Luce Bella is extremely unique and a perfect option for lovebirds looking to budget very specifically for their wedding photography. You reserve via a nominal session fee and then purchase photo print packages. She also offers custom quotes when you contact her with specific requests.

Session Fee: $125 for 2-3 hours of shooting and initial editing

Prints: $15-$150 range for various sizes
