About

Hi! I'm Irene Jones and I own IJ Photo. 2024 marks my 25th year as a wedding photographer. (I shot my first wedding right out of high school and loved it!) Over the years, I've learned how to create quality images that capture authentic moments in true color. I love working with couples who value storytelling and want to remember every moment of their day.

Experience

After high school, I attended The Art Institute of Seattle, where I gained inspiration from some of the world's best photographers and artists. After college, I went into weddings full-time and have been working with couples ever since. Building IJ Photo was a dream come true for me.

Prints, albums, and a second photographer are also provided upon request. IJ Photo offers the following services:

Engagement shoot
One event per day
Additional hours
Custom Albums
High-resolution edited digital files
Packages with no hour limit
Two photographers

Important Information

Easy decision! Hire Irene!!

Irene not only delivered incredible photos, but also was easy and fun to work with! She made us laugh and captured our day perfectly! Due to Covid, we had many guests who were unable to attend. Irene was able to capture the day and excitement in her pictures! She was a lifesaver and came on board after our original photographer backed out 3 months before the wedding.

Irene is easy to work with, produces STUNNING photos, and we hope to work with her again in the future!

Best Photographer Ever!

Irene is AMAZING! She photographed our wedding this last summer, and picking her was one of my favorite parts of the entire wedding journey. I am not usually super comfortable with taking photos, but she made it feel so natural and easy. She captured so many priceless moments with my family and loved ones, most of the time I didn't even know she was there unless we were posing! I am beyond happy with the incredible work she did for us, and the time she took to be sure everything was perfect. She even walked us through downtown tourists and traffic on a busy summer day to be sure we got to the locations we wanted, and brought us to some we didn't know about and ended up loving! Every time I called or emailed, she was there with a quick and helpful response, which definitely helped to alleviate some of the wedding planning stress. She truly captured not only people, but emotions, who my husband and I are together and the love that we share. The photos she created allow us to share the story of our love and special day, and we are going to cherish this forever!

Pick Irene as your wedding photographer!

Irene is the BEST! She was the photographer at our friends' wedding, and we are so glad we took their recommendation. Irene makes you feel so comfortable and at ease, and the photos are stunning.
We did the engagement photo session with her in addition to our wedding day, and it is totally worth it. Not only did we get lovely engagement photos, it allowed us to get to know Irene better and be more comfortable posing for photos so we were ready for our wedding day photos. She is also great at getting through large family photos and can even corral the most rowdy family members :)

IG photo is 10/10

Irene Jones photographed our engagement photos and wedding. She is highly professional, easy to work with, and took amazing photos. She captured the day beautifully. Irene is the perfect combination of light hearted/silly, provides direction, but also allows you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I'm so happy we had Irene to capture our amazing day. Our wedding photos are dreamy! Thank you Irene!

It was an absolute dream working with Irene!

We have been working with Irene since 2019 when we first got engaged. Due to Covid, we weren’t able to have our dream wedding until 2022. However, between 2019 and now, we got the pleasure of working with Irene several times and it was perfect! She makes you feel so relaxed during the sessions and is always making you laugh. We cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to continue to work with her in the future!

Professional Service and Images to last a lifetime

Irene Jones photographed our intimate backyard wedding this summer. She was highly professional and able to wrangle our family and bridal party into amazing pictures! I especially appreciated this since we needed someone who could keep everyone in line. She walked us through exactly how to stand, where to put our hands, when to fix our hair, it was just what we needed. The images she captured were everything we could have dreamed of. I can't stop looking through our wedding images!

Highly Recommend

We highly recommend Irene. We were a pandemic wedding and she made rescheduling very easy. We ended up eloping so she did our engagement shoot, elopement and our rescheduled larger wedding. We were incredibly happy all 3 times. She also created some beautiful wedding albums and has interesting print options. My husband and I are not very good at posing but she is great at giving detailed directions and making sure you are posed perfectly for the shot. She also managed to direct my family and keep things on schedule. And she is a fun personality which is important when she spends half the day with you on the wedding day. We will definitely use her again for future family milestones.

Irene is amazing! She and her assistant Lydia were very comfortable to work with. Our photos turned out amazing and it really captured the emotion which I think is the true talent in photography. We will definitely be a returning customer!

Highly recommend

Irene Jones was wonderful to work with. She consulted with us before the wedding to determine what was most important to us and was prompt to respond to email. On the day of the wedding she arrived right on time and kept us relaxed and laughing during the entire photo shoot. Our pictures are beautiful, I can't stop looking at them! I truly believe photography is one of THE most important aspects of your wedding day. I highly recommend hiring Irene as your photographer, you'll be so happy with the results!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
