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!!

I had gone through list after list of Seattle based wedding photographers, and when I was fortunate enough to stumble across Photo Elan, I immediately fell in love. It was a match made in heaven; I instinctively felt drawn to their amazing portfolio! They have the ability to see such potential through their lens, and the eye to take advantage of those perfect photo opp moments. Their own special touch is added to each and every one of their photos of which they have captured so many beautiful smiles and memories for their clients with their creative style and natural artistry. My fiancé and I recently had our engagement photo session and the experience was unforgettable (http://photoelan.com/blog/2009/07/26/bonnie-harold-e-session/). Admittedly, we were both a bit nervous in the beginning, but they took great care in making the shoot both fun and enjoyable, as well as capturing the perfect moment. As for the photos themselves, oh my... they turned out absolutely gorgeous, but most importantly, natural. I love how they were able to exploit the character of Seattle and the intensity of the evening light to romanticize our evening shoot. One word pretty much sums it up. Perfection. We have since received numerous compliments from our families and friends. I am definitely looking forward to working with them again on D-Day... er... I mean my wedding day =P

I consider myself to be a savvy shopper - sometimes to my wife's chagrin. When making a big-ticket…read morepurchase, it can take me weeks to make a buying decision, combing through back issues of Consumer Reports, online reviews and, of course, Yelp. So what in the hell was I thinking when I went out and hired the first photobooth company I came across in a Google search? I am utterly baffled by my behavior - especially since there are numerous companies listed on Yelp, many with 4 or 5 star averages and several with Yelp promotions. Ugh. I just want to beat my head against the wall. I hired Phototainment after coming across their website in a Google search and then swapping a couple of emails with the owner Paul. He quoted me $1600 for up to four hours and an all-inclusive package of booth, operator, TV screen showing best images from the night, unlimited prints and props. Additionally, all the pictures are uploaded onto a web gallery where high resolution versions can be downloaded for no additional charge. Without thinking and without even doing as much as a single Yelp search, I fired off a $500 deposit. Three weeks later I nearly dropped a baby when I came across a Groupon promotion by Blink FotoBooth for $399, a $576 savings from their normal rate of $975. $399! Even as I write this, I am shell shocked. (A package comparable to Phototainment would have included a $150 upgrade, so $549.) I wrote to Paul at Phototainment: "I'm sure you've seen this Groupon for Blink. It's pretty compelling. http://www.groupon.com/browse/seattle?lat=47.60621&lng=-122.33207&address=Seattle%2C+WA&query=photobooth+rental Anything you can do level set the amount I am paying you vs. what your competition is currently offering?" Paul responded the same day (sic throughout): "Yes I have seen this groupon many times. To give you a little history, this company has a history of not following thru on the deal. Hard to believe, photobooths like anything else you pay for what you get. I am a high service, high image quality company. I am dependable, care about your event, and will show up. If you would like to take advantage of this offer, the by all means go for it. You would for go your deposit. Let me know what you would like to do." Now I have no way to truly validate if Blink is a flaky company as Paul contends, but they do have a five star average on Yelp, albeit, from only three reviews. I was paralyzed by uncertainty and indecision. I absolutely didn't want anything to go wrong on the day of our event, but more so, I didn't want to admit that I had made a dumb mistake by not adequately researching different photo booth companies. Oh that damn pride! Ultimately I stayed the course with Phototainment and they were perfectly, well, adequate. The booth setup was professional. The technician Bryan was there on time and worked all night, not once getting up from his seat and processing over 400 pictures. The photo booth was a big hit. But, I think the props were rather weak - mostly signs you could hold up - and the pictures themselves have a somewhat metallic appearance to them. There were no add-ons such as cardboard frames, magnets or different background options - all of which Bink offers for an upcharge. Had I paid a competitive rate for the service, I may have felt better about Phototainment possibly giving them a four star review. But, there's simply no question that I overpaid - and by a huge amount. I confirmed this by looking at several other companies in addition to Blink. I feel ripped off and as such I can't muster up anything more than two stars.

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!)
