"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 We Became Seattle Wedding Photographers

Emett and Cassidy, both Pacific Northwest natives, have always been inspired by the region's stunning natural beauty, from the towering Mount Rainier to the breathtaking views of Deception Pass Bridge. Emett began Emett Joseph Photography in 2019, capturing heartfelt moments for couples across the state. In 2023, Cassidy officially joined the team, bringing her flair for detail and design—her very first flat lay was even published in *Oregon Wedding Day*! Together, they’re not just partners in life and business but also proud “cat parents” to Loki, their mischievous feline who rules their home with a mix of charm and chaos. Their shared love for authentic storytelling and the landscapes of Western Washington shines through in every photo they capture, making them a dynamic duo for couples looking to document their love story.

"So many photos of me and Damon or ones with family members give me a lump in my throat, in the best way. "

"Working with Emett as our wedding photographer was such a fantastic experience! He is so kind, has such a warm, fun energy, and is extremely professional! I am so glad we got to do both our engagement photo shoot and wedding photos with him. Emett went above and beyond with our engagement shoot so that we got to have photos in two locations out on the Washington coast. The entire experience felt so unrushed and fun and really helped ease our nerves in front of the camera, which then made it so much more relaxed when it came to our wedding day! I was blown away by how many photos we received in both galleries and how he was able to capture so many details through our wedding. I can’t wait to cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! 🥲 Thank you, Emett, for being such a positive and stress-free part of our engagement and wedding season. You’re the best!"

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 photography experience, and our pricing is in the middle of that range.

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.
