    Simply breathtaking work!

    My husband and I chose Betty to document our wedding day and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Betty was so easy to work with and professional, guiding us through the photography plan and details with utmost care. Planning the wedding ourselves wasn’t easy, but we never had to worry about the photography with Betty as our vendor. She was always on top of communication, getting back to us in a prompt, friendly manner with clear information. She also accommodated a space change at our venue just days before the wedding.

    Betty’s images of our special day are simply breathtaking. We love the compositions, color, emotions, and how thoroughly she captured each part of our wedding. On the night of, we received a preview gallery to share with family & friends that evening which was fantastic. When it came time to view the complete set, we were struck with joy, and our guests had highly positive feedback, too. I know we will treasure these photos for a lifetime!

    We also worked with Betty on our album design which turned out stunning. We were in awe of her quick turnaround on the layout work. The process of reviewing and refining each spread was so fun and professional!

    We absolutely recommend Photography by Betty Elaine for anyone looking for an incredible, experienced photographer. Betty’s talent is a true gift, and we can’t thank her enough.

    Beautiful photos

    Betty was great to work with! She responded promptly to all inquires, and was flexible as we navigated planning our elopement during a pandemic. My spouse and I are not very comfortable being photographed, but we felt at ease with Betty and her professional and helpful demeanor. The photos turned out beautifully!

    Dream Engagement Photos

    Betty was great to work with and gave us the perfect engagement photos! She put a ton of effort to help plan and was always communicating with us to make sure we had the right experience. The day of our shoot the weather was awful so Betty worked around our travel schedule to rebook us a different day and different location on the fly. Super flexible and great to work with. Would highly recommend!!

    Stellar photos from an awesome photographer!

    My wife and I absolutely loved our experience with Betty, from start to finish. We appreciated her communication ahead of the big day, her knowledge of the venue, the wonderful direction for posing, her handling of our requested posed photos, and the wonderful presentation of the photos! We also were delighted to get some highlights on the day of the wedding to share with friends and family online! Highly recommend her.

    Perfect Experience

    Got in touch with Betty for an anniversary session after having a small covid wedding last year. Betty was super helpful, easy to get in touch with and she created a vision beyond what we could have ever imagined. We got more compliments on our anniversary photos than from our original wedding. Her work is gorgeous and we got the photos back very quickly. Highly highly recommend her!

    Betty was incredible and truly made our pandemic wedding a thing to remember

    Betty was incredibly flexible and responsive to our ever changing needs. We truly appreciated her safety measures and great care she took throughout.

    Our wedding was on a day when the wild fires were raging and the wind was insane but Betty was still able to capture breathtaking photos.

    Her knowledge of the area was so appreciated, we had to change our wedding location due to Covid at the last minute and did not know any, really. Betty was able to find such amazing locations-- we even found a herd of Buffalo, which made made Husband incredibly happy!

    Thank you so much for all you did to help us capture this incredible day. I would recommend Betty to anyone in the Seattle area looking for an amazingly sweet and talent photographer.

    Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful.

    Our photo session with Betty at TreeHouse Point was fantastic! She was well-prepared and knew all the best spots. Our photo shoot was a lot of fun, and the resulting pictures were amazing!

    Above and beyond in every way

    Having Betty do photography for our elopement wedding was the best choice we could have made. Due to the location, her husband Matt assisted her on the day. They did so much more then expected in every way to make our wedding a great success. From driving us up a mountain to providing snacks and drinks to having warm scarves available, Betty thought of everything that we hadn't considered. She has such a passion for photography that she was still taking pictures after the allotted hours were up and we love the bright and vibrant preview pictures we received early. Betty and Matt are fantastic humans who are a pleasure to talk with and we got along really well. I cannot recommend Betty enough to anyone who wants a great photographer and a great person at their wedding.

    Betty Rocks!

    Betty is simply AMAZING. Starting from the beginning, Betty was always available to talk with us and answer our questions via phone call/text/face time/in person - however we wanted. She's so easy to get along with and work with! We had a very small adventure/elopement style wedding and she went above and beyond to help us plan the entire thing. She looked at all the trail heads with us and even went to scope them out ahead of time to plan out her shots. At one point we changed out plans and she was beyond accommodating and adjusted for us. And Finally - our pictures are nothing short of gorgeous! She did an amazing job capturing our personalities, the dramatic nature backgrounds, and the love bursting out of us on our wedding day! I will ALWAYS recommend Betty as long as you want your wedding day to be fun, easy, and romantic!
    P.S. she sent us a little wedding gift afterwards - so thoughtful!

    Simply the best experience we could have hoped for!

    From the very beginning working with Betty was great! She is responsive, helpful, and has great ideas. Betty was supportive and a sounding board in my quest to find the right dress for our pictures. Plus, the day of the photoshoot was so much fun! She knew all the best places to take photos and gave us clear instructions on how to pose to get the best shots. It was really a great time.

    I still can't stop looking at the finished products, the pictures are fantastic! We didn't realize we could look so good. All of my friends keep asking me who took the photos and are very impressed. We could not be happier to have worked with Betty! We are both very grateful that she shared her photography experience with us and we would recommend her 100%.

    Highly Recommend Photography by Betty Elaine

    Betty was incredible from our first meeting through follow-up and delivery of our photos! She recently photographed both our engagement shoot and our outdoor wedding, and she was a delight to work with. Betty is truly a professional, and her work exceeded our expectations in every way. She instils immediate trust and confidence, which translates into unbelievable photos that capture the emotion and excitement in a way we never thought possible. Most importantly, Betty made us feel at ease throughout both our engagement shoot and our wedding. She possesses a calm, reassuring demeanor, and we were very fortunate to have her as a part of our special day. Her eye for small but significant details is incredible, and we have had many friends and family comment that she took some of the best wedding photos they have ever seen – we couldn’t agree more!

    Betty is a magical wizard!

    I am so grateful to have found Betty Elaine Photography! As non-denominational folks with a penchant for small symbolic details, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find someone who understood our aesthetic and requests. Betty totally blew my expectations out of the water! She was not only was incredibly receptive to our ideas, but enhanced them, providing suggestions and recommendations that would make for truly special images. Not only that, she was willing to travel all across the state! It meant so much to be able to work out these logistics to capture the precious places to our lives.

    Betty was super professional when it came to prompt communication and scheduling, accessible information about her services, and easy payment options for invoices. She was wonderfully warm and personal when it came to capturing just that little bit of golden hour or the joy in our family's faces during the event. Her thoughtfulness and care in capturing these images is evident in every single picture I received. Our friends, family and we are in constant awe of our engagement and wedding photos! I cannot recommend Betty Elaine Photography and her incredible talent enough. Thank you for everything, Betty!

    We had a good time shooting with Betty. She did a wonderful job and was even able to get us sneak peaks for our reception (which was nice to share with our guests).

    In addition she was super nice about taking plenty of photos with our crazy family!

    Anniversary/Adventure Session

    Betty was an absolute pleasure to work with! She responded promptly to emails and answered all of my questions, and she even helped me coordinate outfits and gave me color suggestions for our location! She was very warm and kind, and she helped ease some of the awkwardness that comes with photo sessions. She listened to my ideas of what I wanted our photos to look like, and she delivered exactly that and more. I was very pleased with the finished product and would highly recommend Betty Elaine to anyone in need of photography.

    Planning a wedding 2300 miles away from your location can be tricky, let alone doing it while in graduate school. Betty from day one was not only accommodating, but patient and enthusiastic. Her artistry and talents are apparent in every frame of our wedding day, and her attention to details made me feel confident that she would capture every little thing we wanted to be able to treasure for years to come. We chose Betty because she has an incredible skill in capturing the beauty of the PNW, from our beach-side shots to our backyard reception and our high-rise sunset engagement session. Her versatility and eagerness to get those "super cool" shots truly maker her a phenomenal photographer.

    We loved working with Betty and were incredibly impressed with the quality of the images she captured for us. We did an engagement session as well as wedding day photos, and Betty made us feel comfortable and at ease even though we aren't usually wild about being photographed. She is also superb at wrangling people for photos on the day and is prompt in all her communication. Would highly recommend for any photo occasion you have!

    Betty was beyond amazing to work with. From our very first meeting with her, she was energetic and engaging while still maintaining an aura of professionalism and real know-how in regards to her technology (my husband is a big techie, and he loved that Betty obviously knew her technology and went into detail about how she backs up all her files and keeps everything safe). She did our engagement photos in addition to our wedding (as well as a boudoir sesh for me!), and we loved every second of working with her! She always made us feel comfortable in our own skin (even though we are probably the most awkward couple in front of a camera ever), was a big help in picking out our engagement shoot fashion, and was great at posing us. She always got our photos back to us a week earlier than the estimated time frame in her contract, which was always a nice surprise! Overall, she felt more like a good friend to us than a "vendor," and we look forward to working with her again for other big milestones in the future.

    Betty was absolutely my favorite vendor that we booked for our wedding. I can't imagine sharing our day with anyone else! From the engagement shoot, to the wedding day, to getting our pictures back, to working on our album, Betty is amazing at what she does. She captured every moment of our wedding day, and we even got to spend some time taking pictures at sunset. We got to see our photos in a very timely manner and I can't wait to see the finished product of our album. On top of that, she did an amazing job dealing with my mildly dramatic family. Thanks Betty for making our wedding day even more perfect, and for taking such beautiful pictures for us to cherish forever!

    Betty was so professional before the wedding day and during it, she was very good at getting the family in the right place for photos, and wasn't shy about asking people to move around so she could deliver photos beyond what I expected. The photos are so good and really show the essence of the day and the values of me and my husband . I really couldn't be happier with what was delivered, she was exactly what was needed on the day so that we could get some great memories and everyone has said how great the photos are!

    We could not be happier with our choice of photographer. Betty is an amazing photographer and very professional. Her photographs are works of art displaying natural lighting. Our guests loved our engagement and wedding photos. She truly captured the memories of our wedding day in a story like fashion. If you are looking for a beautiful and unique style of photographs that won't break your budget, I would highly recommend Photography by Betty Elaine.
