"Working with Emett is literally a dream... I could not ever in a million years ask for a better wedding photographer."
"Working with Emett is more then working with a photographer, it’s like working with your friend who is there to help you every step of the way. He really goes above and beyond to make everything perfect and seamless. Every time we talked to Emett about our plans, we were left excited, encouraged and productive. He has such a creative eye and makes every moment he captures beautiful. When we got our engagement and wedding photos back, my face literally hurt from smiling and going through them over and over."

How I became a Seattle
Wedding Photographer & Washington Elopement
Photographer
Growing up outside of Seattle, Washington - it was really easy to fall in love with the pacific northwest. My first job was on a kayak dock on the Puget Sound (the body of water that Seattle sits on) with a view of the Olympic mountains. Every summer evening when the sun would set across the water, I'd catch myself day dreaming about what it would be like to be in the mountains.
Fast forward to my early twenties, I got a camera so I could spend my time creating something artistic and positive. My first trip was to the Columbia River Gorge outside of Portland, and I immediately fell in love with how fun it was to capture all the beautiful scenery and moments with my friends.
A few months later, a coworker asked me to photograph their brother's wedding. When I realized I could make a career out of capturing something so meaningful, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for a living!
Photography continues to take me to beautiful places like the national parks in Washington state, including the Olympics, North Cascades, and Mount Rainier. I'm forever grateful that I get to do something so meaningful for a living, and it wouldn't be possible without people like you!
There's nothing I love more than helping couples create beautiful memories in beautiful places.

“From the day we met him to talk about our upcoming wedding, we knew it was going to be a great match"
“We had the most amazing experience with Emett for our wedding day! From the day we met him to talk about our upcoming wedding we knew it was going to be a great match. He listened to our story and all of our wishes for the day and I could tell he was excited too! Everything went so well the day of. He showed up early to scout out the venue, talked more with us about the details and even came early to the hotel to get some getting ready footage. Everything went so perfectly, he was so professional and passionate about his work and you can tell in the photos! I'm so happy we chose Emett to shoot one of the most important days of our lives, he captured all of the amazing moments and all the love and happiness we felt that day, I'll always be able to look at these photos and remember it all! Thanks Emett!!"

How Much Does A Seattle Wedding Photographer or Washington Elopement Photographer cost?
Wedding photography pricing varies greatly throughout the industry and around the globe. Pricing can change from photographer to photographer based on services provided, experience, and current market trends. Most couples in the Pacific Northwest invest $4,000 - $8,000 into their wedding or elopement photography experience.
While some couples think that wedding photography is as simple as showing up and taking pretty photos, there's so much more that goes into the services provided! A professional photographer understands that there's pre-wedding consultations, timeline construction, location scouting, editing, gallery delivery & so much more.
You can expect a personalized, luxury experience when you invest in a professional Seattle Wedding Photographer that prioritizes your experience above all else.
