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!)

Really easy to work with - very soothing, calming, friendly, flexible, kind, humble 2. Really cute couple too - happily married with really cute kids 3. Didn't seem like they were driven by money, but more from the enjoyment of photography, weddings, etc.... which comes through in how they work with clients. It means a lot. So many other photographers seem to be driven by price and vanity - and it takes away from both the experience and the art. 4. Gave us all of the photos on a DVD at the end (which was great for what we wanted). 5. Dependable = showed up on time, prepared, each and every session. Professionalism was there all the way - the flexibility, friendliness, kindness is what makes them our choice for photographers.

Tash is really intuitive, kind, and attentive and always quick to help. When I came across John's portfolio I was really struck not only by his photography style, attention to lighting, and interest in scouting for visually interesting areas to shoot at but also by his talent to capture such great moments, how everyone he photographed seemed so natural and comfortable. I really recommend doing an engagement session with John before your wedding. It really does help make your wedding day go all the more smoothly, since John's already had a day to gain rapport with you (we did a hike together at his suggestion and loved it). We just got our wedding pictures back (the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness of the box they prepared for us is just incredible) and I am so happy and thankful that John has been our photographer. We are so happy with our engagement and wedding pictures and I am so excited about how many beautiful moments he caught, like the look on the groom's father's face when he saw his son and silly things like how the dog and I looked at each other at first sight (with the groom). It made me so happy to see so many pictures of our guests really truly, laughing and enjoying themselves and so many of the pictures are just so stunning. John and Tash are fantastic at capturing special moments and details and are so enjoyable to be around. I am so grateful that we had photographers that felt like fast friends.

Stephanie was a great photographer for our big day. When she found out we didn't have a wedding…read moreplanner during our initial consult meeting, she also gave us some great tips/hints, which led us to feeling a little less overwhelmed with it all. During that first meeting, Stephanie made sure to walk through the general look and feel of what she'd be doing during our wedding. We went over a pretty comprehensive list of family/group shots that we wanted, and she assured us that the day was going to be special. When she showed up for the day of the wedding, she was prepared and professional and definitely knew how to handle two anxious grooms who were running around making sure everything was good for the festivities. My partner and I just let Stephanie take the reins for how our photos were done, and I'm sure she would have preferred a *little* guidance, we're so glad we did, because her ideas were better than anything we could have come up with. Also, having that list of group shots was so important, because it made taking pictures with all of our family and friends fly by. As for the ceremony and reception, Stephanie was adept at blending in/not being noticed while capturing all the memories we could hope for. The pictures have been fantastic, and I don't know if there's a better person who can take two awkward guys, put them in what seem like awkward poses, and make beautiful pictures. Thank you so much Stephanie!

Also, the photos turned out AMAZING. We have them on Facebook and we get compliments on them all the time. Jess is really kind, patient, and fun to work with, and she always responds to emails in a timely manner and had great advice throughout the process (is this outfit OK for engagement photos? What time of day should we take the photos? Would this location work OK? etc.) Her work is always natural and never looks cheesy or staged. She's a master at using the environment around you to her advantage to take great shots. Jess is reasonably priced and does fantastic work. On our wedding day, she brought in a second photographer, Sam Lewis, and he was great to work with as well. I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

I fell in love their work through various wedding blogs, and hired them to shoot our wedding that took place in August 2009. Dorothee shot our wedding and I can't believe how amazing out pictures are. Somehow she was able to be everywhere at once! My husband and I agreed that on the day of she was the perfect amount of "present" (guiding people, getting people together for group shots without being pushy, somehow always there the exact second I needed to talk to her) and "invisible" (she got a ton of great candid shots.) While she is only in Seattle part time, she still makes herself really available to answer questions, and is proactive about showing samples and figuring things out. Not only is she a fantastic photographer, but she's really sweet also. Just the sort of person you would want at your wedding. She has an abundance of great ideas, but is totally happy to take direction as far as what you're looking for in your photography. I really can't recommend Belathee (and Dorothee in particular) highly enough! We are SO happy with our photos and know they are a fantastic, beautiful way to remember our wedding.

We used Belathee to shoot our wedding in Halifax, Nova Scotia (plus a party in Seattle with friends…read morewhich they also shot), and could not have hired a better team. They are the most talented photographers who capture from the most candid, fun moments to just stylish and memorable. Annabel and Dorothee are so personable and have an amazing eye for every detail. They know how to work the crowd without being pushy and do not take the standard, boring, stiff photos so commonly seen. What they produce is beautiful and incredible art. The photos turned out so wonderful, I can't thank them enough for truly capturing every important moment and bringing to light even the smallest of details. I HIGHLY recommend Belathee. With Dorothee living in Seattle, and Annabel in New York, they have traveled all over the world for some of the most unique weddings. They have such a diverse background and really stand out among the others.
