When couples start searching for wedding photography pricing Washington, it usually happens late at night. Tabs stay open. Numbers blur together. Every photographer sounds different, yet somehow the same.
At the same time, the questions underneath that search feel quieter and more personal.
Will this photographer understand us?
Will these photos feel like us?
And years from now, will this still matter?
Wedding photography isn’t just another vendor decision. Instead, it’s how your day lives on after everything else fades.
This guide walks you through my wedding photography pricing and process, while also explaining what you’re truly investing in when you choose someone to document one of the most meaningful days of your life.
Why Wedding Photography Costs What It Does
Photography doesn’t begin when the ceremony starts.
Long before the wedding day, it starts with conversations, planning, and intention. After the day ends, it continues through careful editing and storytelling that brings everything back to life.
When you invest in a Washington wedding photographer, you’re investing in more than images.
You’re investing in:
- Experience handling emotional, fast-moving days
- A calm presence when timelines shift or nerves rise
- The ability to notice moments before they happen
- A trained eye for light, movement, and connection
- Hours of thoughtful culling and editing
Ultimately, you aren’t paying for photos alone.
You’re paying for trust, presence, and the chance to remember your day honestly.
It’s trust. Presence. And the ability to relive your day honestly.
My Approach to Wedding Photography
My approach focuses on real moments first.
Rather than forcing poses or staging emotion, I create space for you to be present. This allows your day to unfold naturally while I document what actually happens.
In practice, that means:
- Gentle direction instead of stiff posing
- Real interactions captured as they happen
- Stepping in when needed and stepping back when it matters
Your wedding shouldn’t feel like a production.
Instead, it should feel like your day.
Wedding Photography Coverage Options
Every wedding day moves differently. Some days feel slow and intentional, while others feel layered and full of motion.
Because of this, my wedding photography collections are built around how your day flows, not just hours on a clock.
Multi-Day Wedding Coverage
Multi-day coverage works best for couples hosting events across several days. This often includes rehearsal dinners, welcome gatherings, or destination weekends.
With this option, your full story unfolds without rushing. The coverage captures not only the ceremony but also the conversations, laughter, and quiet moments that often matter most.
Full Day Wedding Photography
Full-day coverage gives your day room to breathe.
It allows space for emotion, flexibility in the timeline, and moments that don’t feel rushed. With two photographers, your story is captured from different angles, even when multiple moments happen at once.
For this reason, full-day coverage remains the most popular option for PNW and Washington weddings.
Half Day Wedding Coverage
Half-day coverage fits intimate celebrations best.
This option works well for:
- Smaller guest counts
- Shorter timelines
- Couples who value simplicity
Instead of covering everything, it focuses on the heart of the day—your ceremony, portraits, and meaningful moments—without extra pressure.

What Most Couples Invest in Wedding Photography in Washington
Most couples investing in wedding photography in Washington spend somewhere between mid-four figures and low-five figures, depending on coverage, add-ons, and the scale of their celebration. Many couples planning Washington weddings choose venues and outdoor locations throughout the state, including those managed by Washington State Parks.
Rather than upselling, I help couples choose coverage that aligns with:
- Their priorities
- Their timeline
- The way their day naturally flows
The right coverage isn’t about having more.
It’s about having enough.
The Wedding Photography Process
TThe booking process stays simple and personal.
First, you inquire and share your plans, even if they’re still forming.
Next, we connect to talk through your vision, location, and priorities.
Then, a proposal, contract, and retainer secure your date.
From there, I provide planning support and timeline guidance leading up to the wedding.
Throughout the process, there’s no pressure and no rushing—just clarity.
After the Wedding: Your Gallery
After your wedding, I take real time to edit your images with care.
Your gallery tells the story of your day from start to finish. Rather than feeling like a highlight reel, it reflects the quiet moments, the emotion, and the way everything felt.
More than anything, the goal is simple:
to help you feel it all again.
