    We couldn't have asked for anything better!

    My brother and sister-in-law used Keith and Alexis for their wedding in 2018, and their photos came out so beautifully! So when it came time to plan my own wedding, I knew I had to reach out to see if they were available, and continue the relationship they had built with my family.
    While we were initially debating between Keith and a more local photographer (we got married in Upstate New York), we could not have been happier with our decision to go with Keith! He made sure we were comfortable and prepared during every step of the process. We were lucky enough to do an engagement shoot with him in the Spring of 2023 in our Brooklyn neighborhood, and had such beautiful photos to use for all future wedding events from that session.
    For our wedding itself, Keith gave us clear instructions how to structure our shot list and make sure we got all the photos we wanted. He was so helpful in working with us and our wedding planner to ensure the day ran smoothly and on time. He was very easy to communicate with via email and text, and was very responsive to all of our questions and ideas.
    On the wedding day itself, Keith and his associate, Chris, were a dream team. They made everyone feel at ease and like we were being photographed by our close friends. They were professional, funny, personable, and great with my young niece and nephew.
    The photographs themselves are so stunning and unique. While we did get plenty of standard shots and family shots, Keith and Chris also delivered with unique, romantic shots that we will cherish forever.
    I was so sad when the wedding ended because it meant we wouldn't be working with Keith anymore! We can't recommend them highly enough and are so glad to know we have a friend to see when we visit the Seattle area!

    Immaculate elopement

    Keith from Anchor Photography was the perfect choice for our mountain elopement. His talent behind the lens captured breathtaking moments that we'll cherish forever. We were blown away by the abundance of stunning photos he delivered, making it difficult to choose which ones to print. Throughout the entire process, Keith was not only responsive but also incredibly friendly, making the experience enjoyable and stress-free.

    On top of Keith's exceptional photography skills, the neutral aspects we encountered provided a balanced perspective. While there were no major negatives to highlight, we found some areas where improvement could enhance the overall service. Despite these minor aspects, our experience with Anchor Photography was overwhelmingly positive.

    In conclusion, we couldn't be happier with the choice we made in selecting Keith as our photographer. His professionalism, friendliness, and undeniable talent truly set him apart. We highly recommend Keith from Anchor Photography to anyone looking to capture their special moments with a skilled and personable photographer.

    Best Investment of Our Wedding

    We were married on May 3 in Redmond, It isn't often that I'm speechless, but these photos are beyond incredible. I relived the entire wedding watching them, and I got the chance to see it all from a different perspective. Keith is such an amazing photographer; he has creative vision and caught the emotion and essence of the wedding beautifully, He was also a lot fun to work, an excellent communicator, and the man has a heart!

    Absolutely Amazing

    We worked with Keith on three separate occasions. Our engagement, Christmas photos and our Wedding. Him and his wife are so easy going and relatable. We love every photo we have received and our families rave about how perfect everything turned out. He knew what moments to catch and how to pose us. We will continue to work with them as much as possible!

    Very personable and professional experience from start to finish

    We loved working with Anchor&Lace from the very beginning of the process. Both Keith and Alexis are very friendly, but absolutely know their stuff and how to best cater to what you want for the big day. We couldn't be happier with the final images. They also helped us coordinate many of the finer details of our wedding day to make sure everything was on track for the best day and photos possible. Couldn't imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding day.

    Amazing Team!

    Keith was so helpful during the whole wedding process. I was a Covid bride who had to reschedule my wedding a week before it was set due to state mandates. Keith was so helpful with this process, and he truly listened to what we envisioned for our wedding day. As a bonus, he was great with our dogs, who were the ring bearers as well! I highly recommend Anchor & Lace!

    Best Photographers!

    No one tells you this but on your wedding day, the majority of your time is spent with your photographers; and we couldn't be happier that we chose Keith and Alexis as our photographers for our big day! They are so talented, professional, and easy going. The way they worked together to get the perfect shot and focused on every detail made our pictures come out amazing! We have had so many comments from our family and friends about how great they were. We highly recommend hiring them for your wedding day. Thank you guys for such a great day and amazing photos!

    Great experience

    Thanks to Keith and his wife Alexis our wedding photographers. They provided a great package with everything we wanted for our wedding. I’ve seen their previous work and can’t wait to see our final albums. The day of the wedding they were on time and spent as much time and effort needed to get the right shots. I would definitely recommend them.
    Thank you

    Nothing short of AMAZING

    The best decision we made was hiring Keith and Alexis for our wedding this past Saturday. We've had the pleasure of working with them before, at our best friends wedding in October of 2016. We instantly felt so comfortable with them, like we had already known them for years! They make you feel so at ease in front of the camera, and are extremely professional in directing you to make sure they get the best shots. Fast forward to when we got engaged a year later, we booked them for our wedding only a day after finding and sealing down our venue! They were the easiest and quickest decision we made in the planning process. We are obsessed with their artistic style, vision, and overall aesthetic. We also loved how extremely organized they are, making sure they get every shot you want in a timely manner. We are SO looking forward to seeing them again at another friends wedding next August, and will definitely be hiring them for future projects and life events. We can't say enough good things about Anchor & Lace!!!

    When we first looked into Anchor & Lace, we didn't know we'd just be booking a photographer for our wedding, but that we'd also be making new friends. Keith & Alexis are absolute professionals who know what they are doing and shot beautiful photos that we've cherished from the moment we looked at them. They helped us plan for our wedding despite being 3,000 miles away, and made us feel completely at ease. On top of handling our wedding, they also shot our engagement photos as well, which was special to us because they took time out of their personal trip to the west coast to make it happen (It was a sunset shoot on the beaches of Malibu. Stunning.) The two of them are an incredible duo, each bringing their own aesthetic and style to their photos. They bring out your best with their encouragement, warm smiles, and calm demeanor. If you're thinking about working with Anchor & Lace, just do it. There's nothing to debate here as they stand in a class on their own. A lot of wedding photographers we looked at felt "cookie-cutter" and posed, but when you look at a photo taken by Keith & Alexis it is without a doubt, their original creation. Nothing compares. Thank you to Keith & Alexis for capturing our day so beautifully. We love you both.

    WOW! Anchor and Lace deserve more than 5 stars! Keith and Alexis did an incredible job on our wedding photos, and it was a pleasure to work with them. From the very beginning, they answered our emails very quickly and provided us with clear instructions through every step of the process. They gave us very detailed instructions on how they wanted the wedding day to unfold, and gave us a timeline to follow on the wedding day. I hate having my picture taken, but they made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement shoot and wedding. Keith and Alexis also helped us keep our wedding party organized on the day of the wedding, and helped us move through our formal family pictures quickly. During our reception, we never felt like they were in the way or interfering with the ceremony at all, and many of our guests didn’t even know they were there. We absolutely love all of our pictures, there are too many great ones to pick a favorite. We are still getting compliments on them from friends and family, and we are ordering our albums through Anchor and Lace, too. We would definitely recommend them to friends and family!

    There is no better pair than Alexis & Keith!! Who better to capture the day you say 'I do' to the one you love than a hard working, sensitive, creative husband and wife duo? My husband and I met with Alexis and Keith almost two years ago and we were instantly drawn to them. They make you feel so comfortable. We live in Sweden and they worked so well to fit our engagement session in before we left again and we ended the session by grabbing dinner together. It's just the kind of people they are :) Our wedding day ran so smooth and it was largely due to them. They just move the photos right along - not rushed, not lingering. And man do those photos come out beautiful!!!! I can sit for hours just going through the thousands of photos we have from the day! These two just have that off the beat, artistic eye that captures shots you couldn't imagine! We know we made the best decision with Anchor & Lace and we recommend you do too!! Thank you Alexis & Keith, from the bottom of our hearts!

    We couldn't be happier with our decision in hiring Keith & Alexis as our wedding photographers.

    When researching photographers, we knew we wanted someone who had a unique style and would not only capture the most important day of our lives beautifully but allow us to be ourselves in front of the camera (we are by no means traditional people). When we met Keith and Alexis for the first time, they made it feel less like a one sided interview but more like a conversation of getting to know each other. We so enjoyed listening to their love story just as much as we loved telling ours. My [now] husband and I left their feeling so relaxed and comforted in knowing we just met the two most perfect people to capture our wedding day.

    As a husband and wife team who have lived and are still living their own love story, it's inspiring to meet a couple who take such pride in their work of capturing other couples love for each other so perfectly. Their romantic and creative technique really helped tell our story as a couple so well and couldn't be happier with the way our wedding & engagement photos turned out. I personally (can't speak for my husband) am so uncomfortable in front of a camera but Keith and Alexis really did a good job of making me feel relaxed and less tense. And I truly appreciated their suggestion to do an engagement session after we initially resisted. It helped to get more comfortable in front of the camera and prepared for the big day.

    Truthfully I can go on and on about how wonderful our experience with them was but I'll leave it at this; we couldn't be more grateful to have such an amazing day remembered through such beautiful and artistic photos!

    Thank you again Keith and Alexis!

    Photography was one of the most important vendors to us when planning our wedding. Even before our first meeting with Alexis and Keith we were absolutely obsessed with their work. Every one of the photos they take are beautiful. During our initial meeting it was more like talking with friends - they are very interested in getting to know you as a couple. We left their studio to "think about" booking them for our wedding. We drove about 2 blocks and turned back around to book them right then. We both knew we wouldn't find better than Alexis and Keith. And we were right! At the start of our engagement session we were a bit nervous to be in front of the camera but Alexis and Keith made us feel very comfortable. By the time our wedding came around we knew the deal and felt better about being in front of the camera. They got all the shots we wanted -- and my dad is still raving about how smoothly and quickly we made it through all the family shots thanks to Keith. Every single photo came out beautiful - both from our engagement shoot and wedding! Their turn around time is crazy! We had all our photos within one month from our wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice to hire Alexis and Keith as our photographers!!

    Alexis and Keith, of Alexis Stein Photography are one hell of a pair. My husband and I decided to meet with them after reading wonderful reviews online regarding their photography services. From our first meeting we instantly knew that they were a perfect fit to be our wedding photographers. What we loved about Alexis and Keith is their skill for catching the special moments that the other photographers we met with seemed to miss. Alexis Stein Photography shot both our engagement shoot, as well as our wedding, not to mention made our save the dates. All of their pictures come in color, black and white, and vintage. We both agree that Alexis and Keith are both super professional, responsive, creative, and just all around awesome, fun people. Alexis captured every moment at our wedding and Keith made the entire bridal party crack up while teaching us how to "smize". While most photographers take months to send out the wedding pictures, ASP sent ours to us just a couple weeks after the wedding, including 1200 pictures in color, black and white, and vintage (in a very adorable package). The pictures are GORGEOUS!! We really could not have been any happier. We would absolutely recommend ASP to anyone looking for great, creative photography done by great people!

    Keith and Alexis are phenomenal photographers. They are creative, professional and all around wonderful people. Our photo shoots with them were fun and comfortable and the pictures are amazing. Keith and Alexis did a friends wedding and their photos are terrific as well. We will recommend them to everyone we know and would absolutely use them again!

    My husband and I booked with Alexis Stein very soon after becoming engaged. I saw one of their photos in Long Island Bride and Groom magazine and was completely blown away - I had to have them! My husband and I are awkward picture-takers so we didn't want anything cheesy or too posey so when the engagement shoot came around we were NERVOUS but after Keith and Alexis started shooting we realized that there was no reason to be! They made us feel so relaxed and we actually had fun with the shoot! Fast forward a little less than a year later to our wedding day. We only booked Keith for the day (initial budget restrictions) but he did a phenomenal job. His ideas for our pictures were amazing. He came up with (and I am truly grateful for this) a great idea for my husband and I to see each other for the first time at this gorgeous rustic estate rather than hop in our limo together from the hotel to take pictures off-site. Thanks to Keith and his creativity we will have that moment forever documented. The bridal party and the guests LOVED him. During the reception I looked over and Alexis had joined us! It was so great to see her and we would have been happy enough if she partied with us but instead she actually picked up her camera and started shooting! That was so awesome of her. Brides - these are two amazing photographers and great people. They care not only about capturing your day and all those special moments but they truly care about their art and will go above and beyond to make sure your pictures turn out spectacular. If you are looking for gorgeous photo-journalistic wedding pictures look no further than Alexis Stein Photography! They are great to work with and true professionals.

    There are not even words enough to describe how amazing ASP was to us. From the moment we booked them to a year later when our wedding rolled around, they not only became our photographers, but our friends. Their work is quality and unique. They make everyone feel comfortable.

    As a butch lesbian, I was worried I would look cliche and silly but they knew just how to make sure my wife and I looked perfect. They also helped us with our budget. Be open and honest with them about your budget if its a problem and they will work with you!

    I can't wait to get my picture back!!

    These photographers were amazing! I can't say enough about what a good decision it was to have them at our wedding. Once we received the pictures, we were thrilled to see that they captured every guest and every moment which was surprising because at no point did they seem in the way. They were friendly and helpful as well. They were great with organizing people for group photos and making us comfortable in front of the camera. Our favorites were the candid shots - they caught some amazing moments that I'm thrilled we will now always have. The post wedding experience was just as good. We received our photos in such a short amount of time and they kept in touch throughout the process to make sure we had no questions and that we were happy with everything we received. I'll definitely be working with them again the next time we need photographers.

    The most AMAZING photographers!

    We absolutely LOVED working with Keith and Alexis. They made our wedding day a DREAM come true and we also love love them as human beings. We hit it off with them from the start and LOVED every single moment we had with them and our pictures turned out so beautiful! We cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us.

    Amazing Photography and Wonderful People!

    My wife Rachel and I booked Alexis and Keith for our wedding at Thornewood Castle. They were absolutely amazing. They gave us a document to fill out ahead of time that was very in depth with lists of photo preferences, groups, and ideas. At the time, I wondered if it was really necessary, but Alexis and Keith were incredibly efficient on the day of our wedding. They used this document to capture everything we wanted and more, but were also creative, improvisational, and open to requests. In short, trust their process, because they know what they’re doing!

    The photos turned out amazing and have perfectly captured our wedding day. We and our families will enjoy these photos for years to come.

    Also, Keith took our engagement photos, which were included in our package. If you have the opportunity to do the same, we recommend it!

    Finally, Keith and Alexis were kind, funny, and got along with all of our guests seamlessly. Photos can sometimes be hard after a ceremony and everything, so this helped make the whole experience enjoyable even when we were tired.

    Thank you, Keith and Alexis! You both are amazing!

    Great Experience!

    Keith has a great eye and is a real pro. He was very personable, responsive and thorough. His pictures of our wedding perfectly captured our style. He did an amazing job of assessing the landscape of our venue, the theme of the decor, and vibe of our guests and brought them all to one a singular visual history. He's not afraid to get a little dirty to get just the right shot. Keith is a great value at any price, but you'll be pleasantly surprised at how he compares in that department against comparably acclaimed photographers in the Seattle area.

    Best day ever!

    Alexis and Keith made our wedding day more magical than I could’ve ever imagined. They made us feel so comfortable and went above and beyond to capture every moment! I tear up looking at these photos feeling so overjoyed with how beautifully they captured our love story- every tear, every laugh and finding the perfect scenic photo spots to fit our PNW dream elopement. Alexis and Keith are truly wonderful people and photographers! Couldn’t be happier.

    The perfect photographers for your big day!

    Anchor & Lace delivered!!! Alexis and Keith were beyond wonderful to work with. Not only did they absolutely kill it when it came to the photos they also helped the day run more smoothly. Seriously, whether it be helping with broken wristlets or shuffling people around to help get things done. They were thoughtful in their follow up to ensure that the editing of the photos aligned with our vision. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out, they truly captured the warmth, love and good vibes that were radiating throughout the day.
