Arlene Chambers Photography

Arlene was absolutely incredible! She went above and beyond every step of the way. During planning, she not only was incredibly responsive and helpful with all things photos, but she also helped recommend other vendors and answered general wedding questions I had. She answered timely, professionally, and kindly every time. Day of wedding she absolutely killed it! Again, she not only took stellar photos, but she was willing to jump in with whatever I needed! She even helped me reapply my eyelash glue when they came loose. She made me laugh and helped me feel relaxed during photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! Worth every penny, you won’t be disappointed!

My friend used Arlene for her wedding, and from the moment I saw the photos, I was blown away—not only by how beautiful they were, but by all the thoughtful, personalized touches Arlene brings to her work. Beyond her incredible talent, she exudes confidence, professionalism, and creativity, and her positive energy makes the entire experience so enjoyable. Working with Arlene makes you feel comfortable, confident, and truly radiant.

On my wedding day, I felt like a Barbie doll—she made me look incredible in photos while also calming my anxiety and easing my jitters so I could fully relax and have fun. I can’t recommend Arlene enough for any photography needs or special occasion. I’m already looking forward to working with her again for family photos and so much more.

Arlene is the best!

When my wedding planner presented a few options for photographers, I knew I wanted to narrow it down based on 2 pieces of criteria: first, I knew I needed to like her style of photography, and after browsing her gallery, I fell in love with her classic yet fun way of capturing moments. The second piece we were looking for is personality compatibility; my husband and I are not used to posing for hours, so I knew that we needed someone to make us feel at ease on the other side of the camera. Arlene had us, our wedding party, and families laughing and smiling all day, and you can tell through the photos that it is genuine.

Leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly detailed, making sure she understood our unique quirks as a couple, and had enough conversations with us to understand which shots were the most important to capture. From exact combinations of family photos we didn't want to miss, all the way down to the detail and venue photos, she was incredibly thorough without being redundant or stressful.

Day of, she was such a fun and calming presence, cracking jokes with the wedding party and leaving space for the emotional moments as well. I truly can't thank her enough for helping us execute our vision and be so in the moment during our special day!

She had SUCH a fast turnaround for the initial photos, and the full gallery she gave us is not only stunning, but we have so much content to choose from!

You will be in great hands with Arlene!!!!

Booking Arlene for our wedding day was genuinely one of the best decision we made with our Fall 2025 wedding! Going into the wedding process, I was skeptical of the need for professional photography, but one glance at Arlene's portfolio showed me WHY hiring the right photographer can be so transformative. She has this wonderful talent to elevate the ordinary, and she captured SO many small moments at our wedding that I am so grateful to have!! These shots continue to live rent-free in my head months out, and I know when we hit future life milestones she'll be the first one we reach out to get them captured!

We hired Arlene as our wedding photographer, and she was amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she made everything incredibly easy and stress-free, guiding us through details we never would have thought of on our own. Her professionalism, experience, and warm personality made us feel instantly comfortable and completely confident in her. From the engagement session all the way to our wedding day, she gave direction really easily and navigated through the day with ease whenever there was any sudden changes of plans.
Her photos turned out amazing and it was everything we had hoped for!! We’re so grateful to Arlene that she captured such meaningful moments in our lives that we’ll be able to treasure forever!

We can not recommend Arlene Chambers Photography enough! Every step of the way, from guiding us through the pre-planning, to putting us at ease day-of, to getting us back our sneak-peaks almost immediately and full galleries so quickly, we felt cared for and supported by Arlene.
She was accessible to us as we planned and expertly navigated different family structures as we put together our shot-list. She captured the day perfectly and put us at ease in front of the camera. We were stunned by how beautiful the photographs were. She was kind, personable, efficient, and professional throughout our wedding day, capturing moments and ensuring that we stayed in the moment throughout.

Arlene has become our go-to photographer for all our big life moments going forward, and our go-to recommendation to anyone who is looking for their wedding photographer!

Arlene is an absolute joy to work with, and her photos are incredible! Of all the vendors my husband and I worked with on our wedding day, we would choose to work with Arlene again first in a heartbeat (and we had a fantastic group of vendors, so I do not say that lightly)! Throughout our entire wedding planning process, Arlene was engaging, responsive, patient and incredibly helpful. On our wedding day, she was calm, collected, cool and organized all day long. I usually feel very unnatural having my photo taken, and Arlene made me feel shockingly comfortable. And our photos turned out GORGEOUS. Arlene is an incredibly talented photographer, and on top of that, she is just a kind, cool, and awesome person. I could not recommend her more highly!

We found Arlene through one of our friends who got married, and when we fell in love with their wedding photos, we knew we had to have Arlene as our wedding photographer! She truly is amazing and worth every penny. We did an engagement shoot with her, as well as our wedding, and I'm obsessed with all the photos! We were nervous before our engagement shoot because we'd never had professional photos taken before as a couple, but Arlene put all our concerns at ease. She does a fantastic job at directing us for photos and made our session feel so fun. She did a fantastic job capturing our personalities through her photos.

When it came to wedding planning, she was super communicative and thorough. We emphasized for our wedding day that while we want lots of great photos, we were nervous it would feel like a production the day of the wedding and that we wouldn't be able to be in the moment. Arlene helped us have a great balance of taking in all the memories of the day while still being able to fully enjoy and be present. She also did a fantastic job of directing our large families and large wedding party, which is no small feat!

Arlene is truly awesome. We HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely be hiring her again for photos throughout our life together to capture all the wonderful life moments!

We had the absolute joy of working with Arlene Chambers for both our engagement session in Ballard and our wedding at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo on April 5, 2025—and I truly cannot recommend her enough.

I originally found Arlene through a friend, and the moment I saw her work, I was drawn to her aesthetic. Her style is clean, vibrant, and full of life—exactly what I had envisioned. From our very first meeting, she went above and beyond. She didn’t just show up with a camera—she helped build our wedding timeline, offered thoughtful advice, and really took the time to understand my vision.

On the wedding day, Arlene was incredible. She brought the perfect energy—calm, fun, and professional—and made everyone feel comfortable. She managed to wrangle our groomsmen effortlessly and kept things running smoothly without ever feeling rushed or stressed. I’m not someone who’s usually comfortable in front of the camera, but she made it feel so natural. Her prompts are easy and relaxed, but she still nails the shot every single time.

And the photos… I was completely floored. They are absolutely perfect. Arlene captured the joy, emotion, and beauty of the day in a way that felt so authentic and effortless. I’ve truly never felt so beautiful, and every time I look at our gallery, I get to relive that incredible day.

If you’re considering working with Arlene—do it. She’s a rare gem who brings talent, warmth, and professionalism to everything she does. I’ve already recommended her to everyone I know. You will not be disappointed!

I found Arlene on Instagram while searching for a photographer with a city aesthetic to match our courthouse wedding, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and had a clear, thoughtful process in place to ensure we’d be a good fit—which I really appreciated.

Leading up to the shoot, she followed up and made sure everything was aligned, and on the day of, she was absolutely amazing. We drove around the city for photos, and she had such great energy and ideas that made the whole experience fun and easy. We felt so comfortable around her, which really came through in the photos.

She sent us a few sneak peeks shortly after (which was perfect for sharing with friends and family), and when we received the full album, I couldn’t have been happier. Arlene absolutely nailed the vision I had in mind and captured the spirit of the day so beautifully.
