    Best decision we made!

    I'm not sure I can possibly put into words how much we appreciated Arlene at our wedding last weekend, as well as our engagement session many months ago. She exceeded our expectations in every way -- 100% the best decision I made with our wedding.

    She is detail-oriented, down-to-earth, and really cares about what she is doing. She communicates really clearly, and her overall vibes were so nice that we were never stressed out--we thought we would be stressed taking photos but she made the experience really comfortable and fun. She was also receptive to any ideas we had. The timeline flowed really well and I am very thankful for that.

    Now for the photos, oh my goodness! They are amazing. This woman is TALENTED. So many people have been telling me how much they love the photos. They are detailed, artsy and high quality.

    I am excited to hire her again for future photos.

    Arlene Chambers Photography = 10/10!

    Arlene is absolutely incredible! So genuine & authentic in her work producing unbelievable photos. Her casual style helped us feel so comfortable our entire wedding weekend.

    I've had the pleasure of meeting Arlene through my brothers wedding (2021) & best friends wedding (2023) and knew from the moment I watched her capture their days that I'd love to have her capture mine! It's not just her amazing work but she's fun to have in the room or at your party which was really important to me :) Seamlessly fitting in to the weekend and capturing the authentic less posed moments.

    We highly recommend working with Arlene - we're looking forward to future life events in which we'll be asking Arlene to help us capture!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Arlene, Wedding Photographr

    How many times have you “missed” a celebration because your attention is on recording and preserving it? This time, I told myself - this time will be different.

    And it was!

    Our daughter’s wedding was pure joy. Being able to participate in all the fun was because the photographer, Arlene, inspired my confidence to Just Relax.

    Working with Arlene was an absolute pleasure. She put even the shyest introvert at ease. The final photos tell the story, chapter by chapter: pre-wedding, getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, and the recital. Arlene recommended to the bridal couple a session with improvisation and spontaneity - and this resulted in many of my favorite photos. Her storytelling and exceptional skills captured personalities and emotions, nuance and ambience. And memories.

    Are you looking for a stress-free, fun day for which you can be truly present? I wholeheartedly recommend Arlene’s services to anyone seeking extraordinary photographs and an unforgettable experience.

    Amazing Photographer

    Arlene was amazing!! Not only did the photos turn out wonderfully, she was fun to work with, professional, and communicative before, during, and after. Her ease and sense of humor helped us relax and have fun on our wedding day and we were incredibly grateful for her. She also worked with our budget and modified the packages to fit our needs. Highly, highly recommend.

    Arlene is on the Scene!!!

    They say a picture is worth 1000 words and I say Arlene's are worth infinite.

    Arlene is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we met 2 years ago at our engagement shoot, we knew we had found our perfect match. Her ability to capture the raw emotion and joy of our wedding day is simply breathtaking. Every photo tells a story, and her images have become cherished keepsakes.

    Not only is her photography impeccable, but her responsiveness,professionalism and easy-going demeanor made her an absolute pleasure to work with. She seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments that we will treasure forever.

    We cannot recommend Arlene highly enough. If you're searching for a photographer who will create timeless memories, look no further!”*

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Arlene is a total Godsend. I can’t rave enough about her and her work. She made us feel super comfortable and confident and while taking our pictures. She took our engagement, bridal shower, and wedding pictures. She even traveled with us to California for our engagement shoot. Her work is absolutely amazing. Her attention to detail is astonishing. I 100% recommend her. We love you Arlene!

    Amazing Photographer!

    My husband and I love Arleen and her photography style was exactly what we were looking for. She got to know us, captured the classic photos and the ones which really spoke to who my husband and I are. Arleen was fun to chat with during both our engagement and wedding photos. We look forward to working with Arleen for future photography needs! Highly recommend!

    Fabulous, graceful, perfection

    I found Arlene through friends of ours who use her services for their family photos each year. I took one glance at her portfolio and knew she had the eye to do our wedding photos. From the moment my then fiancé and I spoke to Arlene, we knew she was going to be fantastic for our event. Not only is she professional and has the eye, she treated my fiancé and I like gold. From the thank you gift to being responsive and positive, she is what we call a genuinely good human. And frankly that’s the kind of person you want on your team at your wedding. This woman is nothing short of fabulous. Her attention to details are jaw-dropping. She captures the raw moments alongside everything else. She sees the beauty in the normal and mundane and creates outstanding moments within each of them. If that’s not creative I don’t know what is. She is more than a photographer. Her team is perfect at what they do and the memories she captures through her lens are uncanny. Arlene deserves a standing ovation. She is and always will be our choice. Do we recommend her? You bet! You will not be disappointed in anything she captures. Do yourself a favor and hire her.

    Arlene is incredible!

    Stop your search! Arlene is incredible.

    We were so grateful to have Arlene photograph our wedding. The two of us are both a little camera shy and don't love having all of the attention on us. Arlene made us feel at ease and comfortable. We were blown away by the photos we received. The level of detail and thought that Arlene puts into her work is inspiring.

    Arlene was so easy to work with and an awesome communicator. When it came to the big day, she was present, calming, and so creative with everything she captured.

    Top Notch Wedding Photographer

    Arlene is the best in the business. Her communication is excellent, her style is awesome, and the photos turned out incredible. Arlene goes the extra mile and puts together such a memorable wedding package. We appreciate how the photos are distributed and her website is terrific. She was very busy during the wedding day but her hard work really shows in the quality of photos. She captured so many great candid moments that will last a lifetime. We now have Arlene in mind as a photographer for other future occasions.

    A Seattle / PNW YES!!

    Have no idea where to start?? We sure didn't. Look no further, with no worries! Arlene's creative eye, industry experience / knowledge, and modern / sophisticated touch were exactly what we were looking for. Arlene and Team were on point for a full day of wedding "things" - including some bone-chilly weather We could not be happier with the service, personality, and quality of Arlene Chambers Photography. Love, Love, LOVE the way she perfectly captured our day and event. And we all had FUN along the way! 100 Stars.

    Incredible!!!

    Arlene is amazing! She was by far the easiest to connect with over the phone and was so great about ironing down timelines and making recommendations. I felt like I was in such great hands just from our intro call so of course I picked her over 4 others I was talking to. And she did not disappoint!! We felt so comfortable on the day and my husband and I are both awkward and goofy and she helped us so much but also let us just be us. We also didn’t have a ton of creative places to snap photos at our venue but despite that, she was able to find really cool areas that I wouldn’t have thought of that made our background really compliment the photo. Highly recommend!!

    Incredible!

    Arlene was so fabulous. She made all our wedding photo dreams come true. She was so sweet, so progressional, so accommodating and really helped me keep my timeline on track. When I first met her, she made me feel so comfortable with the whole process and asked questions I hadn’t even thought of. I got so many compliments on her!

    Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

    Arlene was amazing to work with - she did our engagement shoot and our wedding! She does a great job of giving direction, but still making the photos look effortless and natural. She is such a kind person and we love every single photo.

    I wish I could give a 10 star rating. Arlene is everything you could want in a wedding photographer & more - Professional, flexible, creative, kind, patient, calm, a great listener, and the list goes on. Mine & my husband's situation was unique. Once you have read this review, you will know all that you need to know to stop your search for a wedding photographer & choose Arlene Chambers. My husband & I were put in an helpless situation when our original wedding photographer bailed on us ONE MONTH before our wedding. We were extremely stressed thinking about how we were going to find a good photographer who would have availability on such short notice. I heard about Arlene from my cousin as she photographs my cousin's family. When I reached out to Arlene and explained our situation, she cleared her schedule to photograph our wedding without any hesitation. Arlene met with my husband and I immediately after we booked & she treated us with the utmost professionalism. Our first meeting was at her home studio ( which is amazing by the way) & she took the time to get to know Mitch & I as a couple, asking us about "our story". What stood out to me right away is that Arlene genuinely cares about her clients. She takes the time to get to know you. Arlene took test photos prior to the wedding and they were even BETTER than the engagement photos our original wedding photographer took. Arlene will capture everything you could want & MORE on your wedding day & she will do it with AMAZING creativity. In addition to the standard wedding photos, Arlene captures those beloved "detail" photos every Bride wants - rings, invitation, jewelry, dress, makeup, getting ready, etc. Arlene & her team arrived promptly on the morning of the Big Day with a calm presence that put me at ease. Arlene never stops & is constantly capturing all the special moments of the day. Our photos are beyond stunning. Choosing Arlene was the BEST decision. Stop looking & choose Arlene. You will be VERY happy!

    Stunning engagement & wedding photos!

    We love Arlene! She helped capture some beautiful memories on our wedding day. Her lovely personality, silly jokes, and amazing talent was everything we needed. We were so fortunate to have her on our special day. I highly recommend her for anytime you want to have beautiful photos represented with your own unique personality. She even helped us find a woodsy location to frolic around for our engagement session to match our woodsy venue. I can’t wait to see the rest of our photos- what we have so far is amazing. She captures moments and lighting in ways I didn’t even imagine was possible. Her attention to detail is incredible. ♥️

    We hired Arlene to do engagement photos for us as well as photograph our wedding. We have more beautiful, artistic, professional photographs than we know what to do with. She captured the evening perfectly, never missing an opportunity for a good shot. We highly recommend Arlene and feel so lucky to have chosen her for our event.

    Fantastic photos and amazing to work with

    Arlene was absolutely incredible and it's hard to even begin to describe how amazing she is!!!!! From scouting new sites for our engagement photos, to being incredibly flexible with all of our changes due to covid, to helping our entire wedding day run smoothly, she was the best from beginning to end. Our photos turned out unbelievably and I've gotten SO many compliments on both our engagement and our wedding photos. She did a wonderful job of putting us at ease during our sessions and smoothly helped coordinate everybody on our wedding day (not an easy job :). We are so thankful for Arlene and cannot recommend her enough!!

    Thank you so much! -The Russells

    The perfect photographer for our special day

    Arlene did such an amazing job photographing our elopement. We couldn't have found a better photographer to capture our special day so perfectly. Arlene is wonderful to work with and super friendly; not to mention she's also gorgeous, passionate, and talented. She helped us picking the most gorgeous scenery for the frames. We appreciate her helping us with posing and giving us hints for interactions during the shoot. We are very impressed by how the photos came out. Thank you Arlene for making our wedding day perfect. We would 100% recommend Arlene to our friends and family.

    The right person by mere luck

    I found Arlene by mere chance, and I can only say she was the best thing that could happen to me as a bride in the middle of COVID. Since day 1, Arlene made me feel comfortable and heard. When COVID gomplications struck Arlene help me set up a plan b that was just dream-worthy. The quality of her work is just amazing, but so is the care she puts into it. You won’t regret hiring Arlene!!

    You Need Hire Arlene!!

    You have to hire Arlene Chambers for any of your photography needs! From the moment we met Arlene she was friendly, welcoming, relaxed, fun, and professional. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Arlene will put her life on the line to get the perfect shot. I am not speaking metaphorically, she literally walked into traffic on 1st Ave in Seattle, dodging cars frogger-style, to get the right shot of us in front of our hotel. And that photo was amazing. We have taken photos with another photographer before, and the experience with Arlene was so much better. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the photos just look so natural and are stunning. Arlene has an amazing eye and captured the most important day of our lives perfectly. She doesn’t just capture the perfect individual moments, but she is able to tell a story through her photos. We had such an amazing time working with Arlene and we cannot wait to continue to work with her in the future. We continue to recommend her to all our friends because of her amazing work and we just really want to hang out with her again. Thank you so much Arlene, we absolutely love reliving our wedding day through your photos.

    A true artist...

    Where do I start?! Arelen's artistry and eye for capturing the moment is awesome. She's talented, friendly, easy to work with, and caught the romance and essence of the day perfectly. We had rain, we had social distancing we had a compressed timeline, and still she gave us beautiful, gorgeous, award winning photos that we can proudly share and look at for years to come. A feast for the eyes. Thank you, Arlene, for being our wedding photographer!
