She didn't just show up with a camera -- she showed up with intention, care, and creativity. She generously offered her own outfits to elevate the look, never once made me feel rushed or pressured about timing, and poured so much thought into every detail. As a podcast host, she even thoughtfully asked me to bring a microphone -- such a small touch, but it made the entire shoot feel authentic and aligned with who I am. What amazed me most is her ability to make the smallest details look stunning. She has an incredible eye for composition and storytelling. Every image feels intentional, polished, and meaningful. She doesn't just take photos -- she creates an experience. Absolutely brilliant at her craft. Do not look anywhere else for photography! she truly amazing

We worked with Kiran for both our maternity and newborn photoshoot sessions…read more And we couldn't be happier! Kiran is absolutely fantastic at her job. She has a great collection of outfits for mom to choose from! We did a fall maternity Photoshoot and the final edited pictures were stunning. For the newborn photoshoot too, Kiran had so many amazing props and beautiful newborn outfits/ swaddles to choose from. She was also an absolute pro at handling our newborn baby with such ease that the entire photoshoot was a breeze. We received a lot of compliments for all of the maternity, newborn and family photos she clicked. I would highly recommend Kiran to capture your special moments!

We had a lot of fun doing an in-home newborn session and it felt super comfortable from the very start. She worked easily around spit-ups and outfit changes (for baby and mom) and worked well with our dogs, too.

Emily was very quick to respond when I emailed her about a family photo session…read more We agreed on a very affordable price for an hour of her time and then 30-40 edited digital photos. She met with me a week before to go over the details and gave us some ideas for coordinating outfits and poses. I love how family oriented she is in that she promised to remain flexible- she assured me if the weather was crummy or one if us got sick that she would be happy to reschedule. I only had to worry about my appearance after that. On the day of the shoot she did a fantastic job capturing our three-yr-old's smiles and cute moments. She even brought a few treats to keep our daughter smiling. I appreciated the extra attention so much. We also now have a beautiful family photo thanks to her. She was very kind to smooth out a big zit on my face in one photo where it seemed especially obvious as well as a new-ish pink scar near my daughter's lip- much appreciated! Pictures delivered when promised and the end result has met my expectations. We will certainly be calling on Emily again for future family photos.

I was…read moreplanning a surprise proposal in Seattle, which as an CA native, I had very little experience of. After a phone call and a few text exchanges, Sasha helped me plan my proposal and also provided wonderful suggestions for the rest of our stay. Fast forward 2 months and the weather reports changed, I had to change the date a few days early, had to change the location; everything seemed to be deviating from the original schedule. Throughout all of the madness, Sasha stayed very active in offering solutions and doing everything she could to still make this the day of our dreams. Fortunately, with her help, we had a winter wonderland proposal, amazing photos to remember the moment, and great memories that were only heightened by the kind soul that Sasha is.

You will not be disappointed with the experience you'll have with her and the final products will simply blow you away!! Thanks again Sasha! - S&M

We could not have selected a better photographer than Carol, period…read more At our initial meeting with her after our engagement, there was an instant connection and mutual respect. She is very warm and an excellent listener. She truly understood our style and instantly figured out our "likes and dislikes" without us saying much. As the months of planning went on, Carol worked closely with our wedding planner and scouted our venue with her as well, which was extremely helpful and gave us even more confidence that she was not only going to do a fantastic job, but she was *interested* in doing the work! She's a true pleasure and has a very talented eye, to say the least. We give her our highest recommendation without any reservations whatsoever.

I think it was just meant to be. She had a rare opening on our wedding date and jumped right in helping us and made us feel so at ease. She had fun ideas, but also aimed to take classic, beautiful photos that will never look dated. Even with limited time for photos on our wedding day, she managed to get everything we wanted. She gave great direction for portraits (since we certainly aren't models), captured all the details we took so long to plan, and got great candid shots of us and our guests. We jokingly call her the photo ninja because she's so quick and so good at catching everything without ever being invasive. Plus, she's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I don't know if ninjas are generally nice, but apparently photo ninjas are!

I can't rave enough about Door 51. Honestly, I don't know if I can find words to do them justice,…read morebut I'll try. First off, their work is AMAZING. They capture the real, raw, true essence of the moment, of your love for one another, of your personalities, of the little details that make the day special. My husband and I were far from being comfortable in front of the camera, but Alex and Nicole have a way of not only making you feel comfortable, but gently guiding you in such a way that brings out the best version of yourself. I feel like our engagement and wedding pics showed the real "us" but in a way I never thought possible to capture on film. I fall in love with their work each time I go through my albums. On top of being talented, Alex and Nicole are awesome to work with. They make a great team. I absolutely loved working with them and I look forward to working with them to capture more special moments as my husband and I start our family. Door 51, you are brilliant, talented, and a JOY to work with. Thanks for everything!!

Shortly after booking my Autum photo shoot with Anastasiya, she contacted me right away. She asked me all the questions... What my vision was for the photo shoot,; backdrops, styling, wardrobe etc. she took the time to get to know me, and assured me that she would capture something memorable. At this point, I felt at ease working with her. On the day of the photo shoot, meeting her for the first time, was like meeting an old friend. Anastasiya is a ROCKSTAR! The photo shoot was so much fun! She made everything comfortable and took many, many photos! Her turnaround time was very quick. She sent me a couple teasers at first, then sent me a link to view all the photos that same week. They turned out awesome. She listened to me, she knew what I wanted, and she captured it. I reached out to her recently for a real estate staging project. Regardless of bad rainy weather, she came through! The photos she took turned out absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy to know Anastasiya. I support women owned businesses. I highly recommend her to my YELP! Community.

We were so fortunate to work with Ken and "Hector." They made the process so relaxing and very laid back. My husband and I decided that photos were going to be the biggest investment when it came to our wedding, and right away we knew Azzura would do that job. I actually fell in love with their style of photos even before i was engaged. Thank you team Azzura! You deserve more than 5 stars!

I've promised Tania from Azzura to write a truthful review for them because she had done so much…read moreand such a great job for our wedding photography on July 12, 2014! so... where do I start? In short: Choosing Azzura Photography as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we've made for our wedding, and the money were so well spent and what we got from them are so much worthy of the money! long version: we are a couple from China, I been here for 8 years and my fiancée has been here for 4 years. we knew each since 2012 and we decided to get married in July this year. And we decided to do a wedding in Seattle, where we knew each other and currently living. we could say we knew very little about how to plan and prepare for a wedding when we started in the beginning of this year (2014). we don't have families in US that could give us advice or share their experience. and we did not have close friends who got married in US either so we were basically did not how how to start! we went to the Seattle wedding show in Seattle convention center in January ( if I remembered it correctly) hoping to get a sense of how to plan a wedding ... but we ended up collecting a few gadgets/swags and a lot of brochures for all kind of services ... but we did not really got the essence of how we could started planning our wedding. and I wished I had stopped by Azzura's booth and got a chance talking to Tania at that time. if we had been able to hired Azzura earlier, then we would have a much easier job in our whole wedding planning. but anyway, we did not do anything after the wedding show, and we started finding a venue for our wedding at the end of February. after more than 1 months of searching , we did find our place, a nice church for the ceremony and a nice water front restaurant for our reception. but it was really stressful and a lot of comparisons and it was tough job. if we've hired Tania from Azzura before we started searching for a location, I am sure we would find a more "picture-perfect" place with her suggestion. anyway. after securing the venue, we started shopping for our photographer. we asked around our friends, and search online (from weddingwire, from yelp etc) , and called almost every studios from the wedding show catalog we've got. there were just too many choices - and some of them were booked at the date we chose, we ended up narrow down to 5 ~ 6 of them. and Azzura was in the shortlist. after we sent the links of their works to our various friends and family members to gather feedback, we got a lot more votes for Azzura - to quote some of our family members/friends' feedback - "Azzura's pictures tell the store vividly" , "I think Azzura has better sense of the whole surrounding for the picture", "look at the light, it feel so classy and so natural..." anyway, we talked to Tania over the phone, met with her once between we decided to hire her. I have to say, comparing to many photographers (including one who were from Hong Kong - considering as our own people) we've talked to, Tania just feel right and very professional. Tania is the co-owner of Azzura Photography Studio (another owner is her husband), they were both professional photographers before they met more than 10 years ago and owned their own studio already (it was a concern to me that some studio owned by a couple, only one of them are originally a photographer and the other just learned to do that under the coaching of the other) . Tania won a lot of awards with her own works. After we started working with Tania, we got so much help and advice from her. We are like from almost knew nothing and had no clue what the proceeding it would be like for our wedding to knowing almost every details. Tania told us everything, she suggested the timeline for us, shared with us a lot of connections and resources to choose from whenever we need a referral (and she was not concerned about whether we hire those or not - because her goal was to help us not to make money for her connections). Thank God we hired Tania! Everybody in our families love her! even the guest were very impressive by her. She came 15 minutes early in our wedding day and leave later then the time we have paid for. She is very energetic and ending up we getting so many photos in the hours of coverage we've paid for - which are so much more beyond our expectation! All of our guest are Chinese, and our whole wedding were carried out in Chinese; Tania were quite experienced with Asian wedding and that did not cause a problem to her (she told us that a high percentage of her clients are Asian). and of course ,the most important thing, we love our photos!!! Tania技术很好，拍出来的照片很自然，人物很好看，拍中国人的婚礼没有问题。谢谢！(Thank you!)
