We recently hired Barbie to shoot our wedding up in Seattle (we live in SF, but are native Seattleites) and could not have been happier with our choice. When we looked for vendors for the big day, we wanted to work with people we felt comfortable with. Particularly because the two of us are totes awkward in front of a camera. Barbie was the PERFECT person for this. Not only where the pictures beautiful, but she was so wonderful to work with. She is hilarious which helped in keeping things light and fun. And she has a great reputation among the other Seattle wedding vendors. Everyone we talked to commented on how much they love working with her. Definitely puts your mind at ease when planning things from afar. I cannot recommend Barbie highly enough. Her energy, and the quality of the photos make choosing her for your wedding a no-brainer. We loved her! read more

Barbie Hull Rocks! My husband and I had the great fortune of working with two fabulous photographers the day of our wedding, and Barbie was an outstanding part of that equation. We immediately felt at ease with Barbie. Her amazing eye for detail, willingness to go the extra mile (hauling my train and flowers over a very wobbly deck to be sure we got the picture we wanted) and easy sense of humor made her an absolute delight. We spent some of the best moments of the wedding under the fireworks with Barbie by our side. Barbie's ability to be present and available when you need her coupled by her ability to stand back and capture intimate moments nearly unnoticed makes her an unbelievable and unique photographer. Her artistic eye, sense of humor and willingness to go the extra mile makes Barbie Hull an absolute gem to work with. As Yelp says - "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" read more

The Best!! What a fun and personable photographer. She makes you feel like you're on top of the world. We laughed and laughed and laughed. I loved our portrait session so much that I hired her to shoot my wedding. They were so beautiful I cried. We couldn't be happier!!! read more

Barbie is the BEST! She has great energy and makes you feel relaxed and comfy. I saw that she had awesome reviews everywhere so I booked her for our engagement session and we were so impressed! Plus, she gives great advice and has tons of great tips if you're planning a wedding. We can't wait to have her shoot our wedding this June! read more

Very happy with her process and finished product. Needed some company shots taken and I needed them done fast. She was able to come to us and take the shots within a couple hours. She was also able to show me the completed photos in just a day or two which was great. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks! read more

AMAZING!!! Barbie is amazing!!! Barbie came to me highly recommened by my wedding planner Megan, and I have no regrets. She took hundreds and hundreds of amazing pictures of our engagement and wedding. The day goes by in such a blur and I am so thankful for what Barbie has given us back in photos to treasure for the rest of our lives. Easy going, sweet, super professional and freaky fast, hire Barbie. You will not regret it!!! read more

Barbie is freaking phenomenal. If there were eleventy stars available, she'd get them all. She's FUN, professional, kickass, and besides all that, is a great photographer. We looked at a lot of websites/portfolios and though some others were cheaper, we kept coming back to her. There's seriously something about her eye that other photographers do not have.. I think it's magic. Secure her now. You won't regret it. Best money we spent on anything for our recent Sept wedding, hands down. (Well, maybe next to the taco truck, but still.) And we should know - we basically had two weddings - one in Chicago for my husband's family who can't travel and one in Seattle. First - she lives in Fremont like blocks from me and my now husband which just meant more she was the right photographer for us. Next, when she met me, it was like hanging w/ a girlfriend for happy hour. She's a delight. DELIGHT I tell you! My husband thought the same thing when we met up w/ her the second time to go over more details and the right package for our budget. This girl is smiley - ALL. THE. TIME. Also straight up says she's bossy, but you know right away it's in a good way to get the pictures needed, to be fun - not stressful, bam hands you a glass of champagne, wheels you away in her car w/ her awesome asst, Laura who also rocked, and it's THE BEST TIME of giggly wedding fun we had. And she gave us a quick couple of pics for putting on Facebook for people who've been asking and to satisfy us too. Sweet! We wanted a few special landmarks of Seattle since we're relocating to the UK this month and Barbie not only was down w/ it, but was super excited - the Wallingford Dick's, the Troll, the far west corner of Kerry Park - and during the drive, we randomly drove by an elderly couple's house fully decked out for Halloween on overdrive - and we stopped to ask if we could take pics there and they were ecstatic. Barbie was a very good sport when the husband tried to give her 'advice' on where to shoot and how for the perfect pictures. Adorable. At one point, my amazing but treacherous 4 in heels and my nature to be clumsy wiped out my ankle when heading back to the car - kind of badly. I survived, nothing broken or sprained, but I was bleeding and swelling fast. Barbie and her asst swiftly maneuvered bandaids and pain meds (and my flats) and were ever so gentle and sweet. I was bruised, but mostly good as new by the time we arrived at the venue. Once at the wedding, I don't even think I got to tell her thank you before I had to settle myself quickly. Our guests began arriving earlier than I thought and I ended up going person to person all night. We didn't get the traditional family pics til the end and then not that many - however, we really wanted candids mostly anyway and Barbie and Laura rocked it all night. It seemed effortless and everyone who talked to them had great things to say about them. She's so good, we'd like to know her forever and hope she'll have us as friends too, not just our favorite photographer - so book this woman like yesterday. read more

Barbie Hull Photography - The Fremont Troll.. and us. A perfect blend of unusual and romantic! Thanks Barbie! - Session Photography Near Me

Barbie. Is. The. Best. She did my kids senior pics and they are amazing. She did my friends engagement pics too !! Highly recommend ! So personable and friendly. Put everyone at ease read more

My husband and I had the most wonderful experience with Barbie (and company). She has exceptional attention to detail regarding what she offers, the presentation of pictures, the book, etc. I am not a person that likes attention on myself and she made me, my family and husband feel so comfortable. I am beyond grateful that I have the most beautiful pictures to look at and to help me remember one of the best days of my life. I cannot recommend Barbie Hull enough!! read more

See all

I recently had family photos and head shots taken by Barbie. We had a great experience (she is wonderful with children) and she made us completely comfortable. She knew of my phobia about having my head shot taken and it didn't phase her at all. I was almost afraid to tell her that i was self conscious for fear she may act differently...but she completely understood and made me feel comfortable and used humor to get me through it. My husband and son had a great time during the photo shoot as well and she captured some beautiful moments of my family that we will treasure. thank you Barbie! read more

Ha! First of all...Barbie is an amazing person. That's why she is good at what she does. My mom came into town and we wanted to get the fam together as it's few and far between for us to see each other. My moms from the old school and is pretty traditional. I was worried as I wanted candid shots and thought mommy dearest would disapprove. She fell in love with the way Barbie worked with all of us. 8 of us total...and a dog. She responded quickly and efficiently to my request for services and then suggested locations. She showed up on time and constantly worked us through the process. Very casual, very friendly, very pretty, very awesome!! She held all our hands through the process and it was efficient and I like that. My mom left the shoot in love with Barbie and so did the rest of us! Yay! Thanks Barbie, expect referrals and a continued use of your services. read more

Barbie Hull is the most wonderful photographer in all of Seattle. My fiance and I love her photography and on top of that, she's so much fun to work with. read more

AMAZING! Not even exaggerating. We hired Barbie for our engagement shoot, wedding, and trash the dress. Right off the bat she was extremely personable and engaging. Her personality makes you feel like you've been friends forever! For our engagement shoot, my husband was at first hesitant to do the shoot. He was extremely nervous to be infront of the camera. However, once we met Barbie she easily convinced him that this would be a fun time! And oh boy, a fun time you ask...did we ever. The pictures are stunning and we were so excited to have her shoot our wedding. For our wedding, we were far from disappointed! She did a spectacular job and even posted two pictures on facebook about 5 hours after the wedding! She made everyone in our wedding party comfortable. My mom even came up to me after the wedding and said...your photographer was awesome! Loved her! For our trash the dress....Barbie came to our hotel and picked us up with one of her photographer friends. We hung out with her for a bit at a local pub (in our wedding attire, it was hilarious). Then we headed off to West Seattle and had one of the most fun times of my life! We even got Dick's at the end of the shoot! So fun! Pictures have already been posted on Facebook and what can I say....stunning!! I would recommend her in a heartbeat. read more

Barbie Hull Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Barbie has photographed my daughter since she was 2 weeks old. The pictures she has captured are amazing and I really appreciate having my daughter's personality at each stage of development so perfectly captured. She is friendly and terrific to work with. She also took a number of shots around Washington for me to hang in my office. Again, she did not disappoint. She is my favorite!! read more

As a Wedding Professional myself I have seen the importance of hiring top quality individuals to make your day the best it can be. Barbie consistently delivers the best service and photos which capture the essence of your wedding so you can always have your special day with you. Thank you for being a quality person and professional. read more

Just another top review for the wonderful Barbie Hull! She recently did our wedding this summer, as well as the engagement photos the fall before. And even though my husband and myself are not naturally photogenic - you can't tell that from the pictures! Barbie is light and fun to have around throughout the whole day and really captures great candid moments as well as all the requisite formal pictures. If you're the bride, she'll fit right in with your gal pals. When selecting a photographer I was pretty nervous, because I knew that these pictures were going to be the one lasting piece of what was truly one of the most fun events of my life. (Hear that? FUN! On my own wedding day!) I looked at quite a few actually. But definitely Barbie was the one. I felt even more secure in my decision since my sister (who worked as a wedding photographer in the past) ALSO said that she liked her work the best! I really can't say enough good things about her work as a professional and the great pictures I'll get to keep forever. read more

Miss Hull ruined this experience for me. I have never been so insulted. It was our special day and we hired miss Hull to do our Wedding Pictures. When we sat down and did the proof-before-the-print, we where happy, but when we received the pictures it looks like someone spilled coffee on it. Its been paid paid for, a done deal . I left several messages and Vera Stokes Hull returned my call. She was very helpful. but demanded more cash. I was upset, but it is our special day and Miss Hull took time off for her own wedding this year so i ended up giving her sister $200.00 cash. She NEVER re-print the pictures . I found out later that there is METH and STOLEN JEWELRY involved. Apparently the SPD is looking for miss Hull regarding the theft of Jewelry read more

Barbie has been photographing my daughter since she was 2 weeks old. She has an amazing eye and captures the most impressive moments. It's not easy to photograph an infant or now a toddler and I am always impressed by what she captures. I would recommend her to anyone wanting unique, quality photography! read more

Barbie is such a talented, professional wedding photographer! I have seen her in action and she works hard to get the shots that make each wedding album both classic and unique while delivering beautiful images. I have referred her to a number of friends and family through the years and will continue to do so. Everyone raves about her work. You cannot go wrong with Barbie as your wedding photographer! read more

Barbie's bubbly personality is reflected in each photo. An outstanding photographer who sets her clients at ease on one of the most stressful days of their life. Barbie photographed our wedding on an Argosy Cruise for 4 hours. She is very talented and an absolute joy to work with. Hands down, the best decision for a photographer! read more

Barbie is an awesome photographer, she seriously does wonders with that camera. She has shot a few of my parties and a couple of my friends weddings, all turned out awesome. She is all smiles and the hardest working girl I know. If you want pictures, you've found the right chick. read more

Barbie is amazing. She is at the top of my client referral list as a wedding planner. Her care for her clients goes beyond just her fabulous photos, she truly becomes a part of the TEAM in giving people what they want and makes it FUN. A savvy business woman, well-connected, and incredibly joyous, it is always a pleasure to work with her. Anyone looking for personable attention as well as expertly crafted photos, Barbie is your gal!!! read more

Fabulous, fabulous pictures!! I know enough about photography to know how hard it is to get great candids of individuals, small groups, and large groups, and Barbie does all 3 incredibly well. Artistic, crisp, amazing. I live and work in Boston and our company needed a photographer in Seattle so we were put in touch with Barbie, and I am SO grateful to her for the pictures she captured of our event. Our event was a business gathering but I imagine her pictures of weddings would be equally, if not more, spectacular. Barbie, thank you!!! read more

My photographer, my friend. Barbie is a dream!!!!! She made posing for all of the awkward family wedding photos seem natural. I laughed the entire day! Her and Chris went the extra mile and made sure that we were comfortable and having fun from start to finish. Most people I meet tell me it takes months to get the photos back from their weddings....not with Barbie Hull!!! It was incredibly quick! We LOVE this gal! read more

I have worked with Barbie Hull Photography numerous times over the past ten plus years and every time I refer my clients to Barbie I know they are going to have a good time and receive photos to treasure for a lifetime! Barbie loves what she does and it shows through her photos and excitement for each and every wedding, birthday or corporate event. Her images capture the spirit of the day as well as the details which I treasure. Barbie Hull is also one caring person and finds any opportunity to give back. She is a co-founder of Get Hitched Give Hope which allows brides & grooms to get gorgeous goods and services for their wedding all while giving back. You can't go wrong hiring Barbie for your photo needs! read more

Our pictures came out great but when it came to the finance part a big thumbs down. Our check was held onto for over three months following the wedding before it was cashed. With all the hoopla around our wedding we did not notice it hadn't been cashed. As a business person, you don't hold onto a check for thousands of dollars for three months. If you use her, I recommend using your visa card. read more

We hired Barbie to shoot our engagement, rehearsal dinner and wedding and she is a dream come true! She has an amazing perspective and is tons of fun! She is way more than just a "photographer". Barbie was there for all of our needs and helped us tremendously! If you're looking for a wicked-talented, super fun, all around awesome photographer, Barbie is your gal! Worth every penny and then some! read more

My husband and I hired Barbie for our wedding (and engagement) photography. From the beginning we loved her personality and professionalism. She made us feel at ease during our engagement photo session and all of our photos look so natural and relaxed because of this. Barbie went above and beyond on our wedding day as well. She captured such beautiful moments without us ever even seeing her. She really listened to what we wanted--what photos were important for us to have, the style we liked, what we didn't like, etc. She even sewed up my corset of my dress when it ripped during the reception. One thing I think really sets her apart is how professional she is in regards to turn around time. She even sent us a sneak peak of our photos just a couple days after our wedding! We love our photos and can't sing her praises enough!! read more

Stop looking for another photographer now. Barbie Hull is the best of the best!!! She's funny, personable, and makes you feel so at ease in front of the camera. It's like your best friend is laughing and chatting with you, all while taking absolutely stunning images that captured me exactly how I feel. You won't regret booking her. read more

Barbie is amazing! My husband and I were lucky enough to find her just one month before our September 2013 wedding, and even luckier that she was available (our wedding was on a Friday, so that helped). Barbie was so positive and enthusiastic from the beginning about helping us make our somewhat unconventional wedding special and memorable. I was a last minute planner, and she even recommended the wedding planner that we ended up using as well! She is super professional while being SO fun at the same time. She obviously has a lot of experience. She made sure on the day of that we stayed on schedule, made adjustments as the inevitable snafus arose, and that the portrait portion of the picture taking was fun and not laborious. The pictures are phenomenal. You will love her pictures. Her responses via email, before and after the event, were always so quick and helpful with any questions I had. Photography of our wedding was one of our top priorities, wanting to capture all of our family and friends in one place is a once in a lifetime event! Barbie fulfilled our every hope of how the pictures & photography would be! From beginning to end working with Barbie was one of the best aspects of our wedding! read more
