Wedding Photography in Lake Stevens

Kaylee & her husband Drew make an amazing team. When looking for my wedding photog, I knew that the photography would be my splurge. I was OK with spending more when it came to my forever memories! So when I found Kaylee's website, I was captivated. I kept looking around though, but I knew what I wanted. Her style captured exactly what I dreamed of. I recommend booking her early (I did 10 mos in advance). 4 stars - responsiveness: There was a time when planning the engagement shoot that I was nervous due to lack of communication that would have been better avoided with more consistent email/text contact. However, I got a hold of Drew & it was squared away. 4 stars - flexibility: For our engagement shoot, they weren't able to make it all the way out to where we lived (Belfair). They wanted to meet somewhere more central. We decided on meeting in Leavenworth within a certain timeframe in which they'd be there. Although 3.5hrs away from home and kinda last-minute, the trip actually turned out to be a wonderful weekend getaway for Ethan and I, so we were Happy! Not to mention the pictures = fantastic (Everyone loved them!) The wedding - Kaylee and Drew were ON IT. I mean, they did their thing, knew how to direct us when needed, yet were out of the way. The groom and I felt very comfortable in front of the lens at this point, so I think that speaks volumes for their personalities. I really wish I had bought the guest photobooth package from them! The only complaint is the email contact with customers is auto-generated which feels a little impersonal. Would be great to have a more personal touch with the email communications & reminders. I'd recommend Eylander Photography to ANYONE. There is a reason she's top rated & at the top of the Google searches. She's the best.

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!

Robin is a recently relocated professional photographer from the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. He has done weddings in the UK and has started his US business. He was wonderful. He took a lot of time to find out what we wanted, to make sure he knew who everyone in the wedding was and shot portraits and candids all night until I thought his fingers would fall off. He's a whizz with photoshop so no worries about imperfect skin, etc. Highly recommended and a great value.

Travis is awesome! His passion for photography really shines through in the quality of his work. Hire him, you won’t be disappointed! ;)

I hired Lincoln and Lucy Photography for my wedding. I met with Shauna at a cute coffee shop not far from her studio in Everett. Shauna and I had a great discussion about the feel of my wedding and what I would need for photographer coverage. When we got back to the studio Shauna showed me the menu of her services and her portfolio. Hiring Shauna, approving the quote and signing the contract was very easy with the online system she uses. When I wondered what the package included I was able to pull it up from my email anytime I wanted. The package I chose for my wedding day included an engagement photo session – man, did we need that! The idea behind the session is really to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know Shauna a little more. You spend a TON of time with your photographer on your wedding day so the engagement session was a great use of time. My now husband and I had never had professional photos together so we needed the practice. We had a great engagement photo session with Shauna! We wanted to use one of the photos from our engagement sessions for a signing mat at the wedding, but then we realized we were missing something … our puppies! I contacted Shauna asking for a photo session to help us capture an image with our two dogs. Shauna suggested the mini-session option with a location in Snohomish. Shauna was very knowledge about our “drop dead day” (my words not hers) for getting our session done, and print, mat and frame ordered to ensure we had it before the wedding. Our mini session was INCREDIBLE. Location was perfect, and getting to spend some more time with Shauna was great. I had a hard time deciding on the photo for the signing mat. Shauna and I spent some time at her studio a couple weeks before the wedding to go over the timeline she put together for me, and the must have photos list I created for her. I may have given her the longest shot list she ever received – but she told me we would do what we could! Thankfully I selected the package that came with a second photographer. Between the second photographer and Shauna they were able to take control of the time allotted for pictures and got my must have photos done. Shauna brought a lot of laughter and professionalism with her on the day of the wedding. She was a joy to spend my wedding day with. My bridal party had 7 flower girls, 1 junior bridesmaid, 2 ring bearers and 10 adult bridal party members. Shauna’s ability to connect with children and photograph them in midst of chaos really came in handy! She was able to capture moments between my husband and I, that created INCREDIBLE photos. The frame, mat and print she ordered for the signing mat worked out perfectly. There was a perfect amount of room for signing for my 100+ guests, the print is excellent quality and the frame is classic so it will never go out style. The day after the wedding Shauna had already posted a sneak peek of our photos on social media. Which was VERY unexpected and made me SO happy. I was prepared to wait 3 months for the rest of my photos – within 4 weeks of the wedding my photos were ready! Now it’s just on me to make some decisions on the album. The moments Shauna captures, the quality of the images and product, and her professionalism leads me to highly recommend her as a photographer.

We hired Matt and Mary to photograph our wedding this past April - and words cannot describe how incredible they are! They are passionate and in love with their craft - it shows, in every thoughtful detail, moment, and interaction. My husband and I felt amazing in their hands. They ensured the photography experience was fun, and carefree. There was not a moment where I was concerned with what I was doing or how I was looking; as they gave subtle prompts and photographed at different angles. Our guests felt special; they made everyone feel included.

 They are both talented photographers and artists; their compositions are well thought out and attractive. They capture so much breadth, and so well - stunning portraits, candid moments, and subtle details. 

 For our initial consultation, Mary got to know us, and our story. She was genuinely interested in names and details, and it was fun sharing with her. She even volunteered and accompanied me and my coordinator to the venue to do a walk-through, scout photo locations, and play with light settings on her camera. 

 On the day of, they learned that my favorite number was on a heavy theater chair in the downstairs section of the venue. They hauled two of the chairs up to the rooftop to take golden-lit portraits. It is this kind of thing... they go above and beyond.

 Photo processing was exceptionally quick. We received our photos less than 5 weeks after our wedding date. The digital images arrived on a beautiful wooden USB, with thoughtful packaging, and sample studio prints. The prints were excellent reference for understanding the finishes, as well as high quality, and useful in explaining to family members who wanted to order photos. 

Picking Matt and Mary of Luminous Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

Sarah is amazing. I posted a request for LGBT-friendly wedding photographers in a local photography group. I received many offers, but Sarah's portfolio stood out among the others. She is the friendliest gal to work with and she is on top of her game with communication. Getting married during a pandemic wasn't easy, but Sarah was hands-down our favorite vendor to work with. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat. Well done!

Cody was very flexible and fun for our outdoor family wedding. He was able to put everyone at ease and worked great with our young children. Before our ceremony and reception, he was also able to take amazing photographs of the venue, table settings, alter etc.

Gary's attention to detail is impeccable. He is timely and respectful of the client and the client’s guests. His work is detailed, and the finished photographs are beautiful. He's a delight to work with.
