If you are in search of the best Seattle (and greater) area wedding photographer, stop searching…read moreright now and hire Chris. I'm serious. My fiancé and I started our search for the best photographer pretty early on in our wedding planning process. Chris came highly recommend by a co worker of mine and immediately after seeing Chris' work and meeting with him over a beer, we knew he was the best fit for us...and boy did he blow our expectations out of the water! We decided to do an engagement session with him, and we had a blast! We appreciated his calm yet direct cues when we just didn't know what to do with our hands! He has an incredible eye and we trusted him fully to guide us around and tell us what to do and the end product was magic! So when it came time for our wedding day, we had complete faith he would make us look our best and get us the best photos. We knew everyone in our family and bridal party would feel at ease with Chris as well, and they all instantly realized why we had hired him! Chris is a ninja with the camera, you don't even notice he's there sometimes. We were able to just relax, be ourselves and enjoy our day and he blended in seamlessly. But also kept us smiling with his sense of humor and positive presence! A couple days after the wedding Chris delivered 40+ sneak peak photos! When we received our full gallery, we felt like we were truly re living the best day of our lives through the photos. The day literally came alive through each carefully selected and edited image. You can feel the love radiating from every single photo. Every day more and more people tell us how incredible our photographer was and we just smile and say "we know". Even those who weren't at our wedding tell us they can tell just how special and love filled our day was through the photos. A 5 star rating will never be adequate enough for Chris! Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you make when planning a wedding and it can be overwhelming, but trust me when I say you will never regret going with Chris. We look forward to keeping him in our lives as our designated family photographer going forward!

Loren didn't just capture our wedding--he told the story of our love in the most beautiful and timeless way. Every moment, from the joy and emotions to the energy of the day and the smallest details, was captured perfectly. But Loren went far beyond being just our photographer. From the moment we booked Alante Photography, he became such an invaluable part of our wedding process. He helped with recommendations, created a timeline that made everything run smoothly, and patiently answered all our wedding questions. It truly felt like he cared about our wedding as if it were his own, and that care shines through in every single photo. We are beyond grateful to Loren for sharing his talent and giving us memories we'll cherish forever. Every photo feels like a piece of art, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Alante Photography. Thank you for everything!

He served as an anchor throughout the chaos. He is flexible, creative, and enthusiastic about your vision for yourself and your day, and the ethereal artistry of his beautiful photos prove it. We have had so, so many compliments from all corners on his photos throughout the entire process. He is the one!

I had Nicole for my wedding make up artist in 2018, I was very happy with her work back then and decided to have her for my maternity shoot not even with a hesitation. Nicole is my fav make up artist! Aaron is so professional and really good at using natural lighting in photography. He is also patient and considerable the whole time, I had three outfits for the shooting session, before shooting my next outfit, he will always show me the photos, and ask me if I am satisfied with the shoot, or if there is anything particular that I want to have in my photo, which really impressed me. My husband and I are really appreciate Aaron capturing the special moment for us. I would for sure recommend Nicole and Aaron if any of my friends asked me recommendations for the best make up artist and photographer in Seattle! :)

First off, let me just say that Aaron made me and my wife feel like we received way more from his…read morewedding photography service than we paid for. Wedding photos are the most important thing to us in a wedding because they are a way for us to look back on such a special moment in our lives, so we had to pick the best. Aaron was by far the friendliest and attentive photographer we talked to. The best part about working with Aaron is that you only have to tell him a few wedding details and he takes care of the rest, giving us the time to focus on other aspects of the wedding. On top of that, we also used the wedding makeup service that his wife Nicole provided. The combination of their services definitely made the wedding planning easier. Aaron always kept us up-to-date on the progress of the photos after the wedding. The photos turned out excellent! I was very surprised by the artistic creativity that Aaron came up with. He incorporated different props, lighting angles and scenes to give vibrant colors in the photos. Both me and my wife really enjoyed looking back at the photos Aaron took. We cannot thank him enough for helping us capture the memorable moments we had at our wedding with friends and family. I know that years from now we will be able to look back at these photos and re-live the moment as if we were there again! Thanks again Aaron and Nicole!

We hired Laura to do photography for our wedding last summer, and we could not have asked for a…read morebetter experience. We did an engagement shoot, and also had photography throughout our wedding and day-after brunch. Throughout the entire process, Laura and company were highly friendly, attentive, responsive, and accommodating to last-minute changes. The photos turned out amazing - we both agreed that they were the best wedding photos that we've ever seen. We're no photography experts, but it doesn't take training to see that Laura and co. have an uncanny knack for capturing the natural energy of events in their best light. Overall, amazing experience, great photos, would highly recommend.

We hired Alex and his team for my photo and video. We had a 7-hour package from 2 PM to 9 PM at…read moreWillows Lodges. We scheduled the photo start time for 2 PM, annd Alex showed up at 12:00PM to begin setting up. My makeup artist told me this is Alex style. Once he finished setting up the video equipment, he went to the site to start capturing the details--shots of my dress, my beautiful high heels, and jewelry. He was so detailed, trying to get different angles of the shots, which I really liked. I spent a lot of money on my dress and accessories, and I definitely wanted to capture them in my book. The ceremony was outside under the stage, and he guided us to the back area, which had more greenery, for our family and wedding party portraits. He was so funny and creative--everyone enjoyed his sense of humor. I believe he has a gift for making people feel comfortable and de-stressed. He even made my 85-year-old grandmother smile, which I hadn't seen in a long, long time. During the ceremony, he captured so many different shots, from wide angles to close-ups. He stayed close to us but kept enough distance so that the guests felt comfortable. I remember at my sister's wedding, her photographer stayed too close to everyone, and it felt awkward. We received over 2,000 proofs to select from and ended up choosing 250 instead of the 200 we planned. Thank you, Alex and your team, for capturing this wonderful lifetime memory for us. We really appreciate your hard work and sense of humor. Whenever I visit my grandma, she still remembers your name. You definitely have a gift and talent for bringing happiness to others. Irene K.

We just had our third outdoor family session with Alex in the last three years recently. This time…read morewe had a total of 8 people (my sister's and my families with grandma). As parents, family sessions can sometimes feel stressful especially with a large group, but Alex made the entire process effortless and fun. He was incredibly patient with our kids and captured such beautiful, candid moments that truly reflect our family's personality. He also very patiently full-filled my sister's wishes of have many different poses with her two impatient teenagers who normally reluctant to pose "intimately" with their mother. Somehow, Alex was able to make the boys follow his directions with different beautiful poses. The final gallery was amazing and we will treasure these photos forever. Highly recommend!"

He's not only a wonderful photographer but he has amazing interpersonal skills and instantly put me at ease. He definitely knows his craft and how to make anyone look their best using his knowledge of angles and lighting. He made sure to ask what I wanted my photos to convey and then gently (and humorously!) coached me so that the photos had the intended impact. I'd recommend him to anyone for pretty much any occasion - he's a true artist and collaborator and you can't go wrong. I'll also mention that I REALLY appreciated Sung's attention to maintaining Covid protocols. My photos were taken prior to the vaccine availability and he gave me a short questionnaire before I entered the studio, kept the patio door propped open for ventilation, had a humidifier on since humid conditions help to prevent Covid spread, and wore a mask for the duration. I also observed him beginning to wipe everything down as I was heading out so I know the next person was welcomed into a clean and sanitary space by someone who not only cares about making you look your best but also cares about keeping you as healthy as possible. Above and beyond. Sung Park is a gem.

Sung is a personal friend, and one of the best photographers I've worked with. He recently did some…read moreprofessional headshots for me, and the entire experience was perfect. He's very professional, yet keeps you comfortable with his interesting humor. He has a very natural eye for lighting, angles, and locations. Additionally, I have followed him on Instagram for quite a while, and everything he posts, whether it's candids of friends, yoga photography, headshots, or city shots, it's all quite incredible. Highly recommended!

She interacted very well with my wife and I, and was great at engaging our children as well and capturing some special moments with all of us.

Wow, what an amazing photographer Saskia is! Let me tell you a few reasons she is far above the…read moreaverage photographer in my opinion. First of all, my husband and I were living in Ellensburg when we hired her to do our engagement and wedding photos. She is based out of Bellevue. Not only did she drive all the way over the mountains to do our engagement photos at no charge, she even followed us out into the Roslyn wilderness to hike around to get our pictures in the woods where we wanted them. All of this, while in a leg cast! We tried to let her take it easy, but she insisted she was just fine! She hobbled up hills and over logs all to get us the best pictures and she had the best sense of humor and attitude about it! Then, on our wedding day (which was in Leavenworth so again she had to travel quite a ways), she was even more amazing. Her and her husband had to put up with some pretty obnoxious groomsmen and she just laughed and stayed patient. She was fun, positive, and simply wonderful. She was never in any way bossy or demanding, she listened to what we wanted and helped to get those pictures for us while smiling and having a good time. I highly recommend Saskia as a photographer as she truly went above and beyond our expectations. All of my guests raved about how kind and patient she was. Oh, and our pictures are absolutely stunning! She takes time to make sure they are perfect. She really is the total package.

Ian made me feel comfortable, he kept us on track & gave a few tips to achieve the best look. By the end of the session, before I had even seen the photos, I knew they'd turn out great! I highly recommend Ian's services to anyone in need of professional headshots.
