They capture the real, raw, true essence of the moment, of your love for one another, of your personalities, of the little details that make the day special. My husband and I were far from being comfortable in front of the camera, but Alex and Nicole have a way of not only making you feel comfortable, but gently guiding you in such a way that brings out the best version of yourself. I feel like our engagement and wedding pics showed the real "us" but in a way I never thought possible to capture on film. I fall in love with their work each time I go through my albums. On top of being talented, Alex and Nicole are awesome to work with. They make a great team. I absolutely loved working with them and I look forward to working with them to capture more special moments as my husband and I start our family. Door 51, you are brilliant, talented, and a JOY to work with. Thanks for everything!!

We scheduled the photo start time for 2 PM, annd Alex showed up at 12:00PM to begin setting up. My makeup artist told me this is Alex style. Once he finished setting up the video equipment, he went to the site to start capturing the details--shots of my dress, my beautiful high heels, and jewelry. He was so detailed, trying to get different angles of the shots, which I really liked. I spent a lot of money on my dress and accessories, and I definitely wanted to capture them in my book. The ceremony was outside under the stage, and he guided us to the back area, which had more greenery, for our family and wedding party portraits. He was so funny and creative--everyone enjoyed his sense of humor. I believe he has a gift for making people feel comfortable and de-stressed. He even made my 85-year-old grandmother smile, which I hadn't seen in a long, long time. During the ceremony, he captured so many different shots, from wide angles to close-ups. He stayed close to us but kept enough distance so that the guests felt comfortable. I remember at my sister's wedding, her photographer stayed too close to everyone, and it felt awkward. We received over 2,000 proofs to select from and ended up choosing 250 instead of the 200 we planned. Thank you, Alex and your team, for capturing this wonderful lifetime memory for us. We really appreciate your hard work and sense of humor. Whenever I visit my grandma, she still remembers your name. You definitely have a gift and talent for bringing happiness to others. Irene K.

As parents, family sessions can sometimes feel stressful especially with a large group, but Alex made the entire process effortless and fun.

He also very patiently full-filled my sister's wishes of have many different poses with her two impatient teenagers who normally reluctant to pose "intimately" with their mother. Somehow, Alex was able to make the boys follow his directions with different beautiful poses. The final gallery was amazing and we will treasure these photos forever. Highly recommend!"

I actually fell in love with their style of photos even before i was engaged. Thank you team Azzura! You deserve more than 5 stars!

I've promised Tania from Azzura to write a truthful review for them because she had done so much…read moreand such a great job for our wedding photography on July 12, 2014! so... where do I start? In short: Choosing Azzura Photography as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we've made for our wedding, and the money were so well spent and what we got from them are so much worthy of the money! long version: we are a couple from China, I been here for 8 years and my fiancée has been here for 4 years. we knew each since 2012 and we decided to get married in July this year. And we decided to do a wedding in Seattle, where we knew each other and currently living. we could say we knew very little about how to plan and prepare for a wedding when we started in the beginning of this year (2014). we don't have families in US that could give us advice or share their experience. and we did not have close friends who got married in US either so we were basically did not how how to start! we went to the Seattle wedding show in Seattle convention center in January ( if I remembered it correctly) hoping to get a sense of how to plan a wedding ... but we ended up collecting a few gadgets/swags and a lot of brochures for all kind of services ... but we did not really got the essence of how we could started planning our wedding. and I wished I had stopped by Azzura's booth and got a chance talking to Tania at that time. if we had been able to hired Azzura earlier, then we would have a much easier job in our whole wedding planning. but anyway, we did not do anything after the wedding show, and we started finding a venue for our wedding at the end of February. after more than 1 months of searching , we did find our place, a nice church for the ceremony and a nice water front restaurant for our reception. but it was really stressful and a lot of comparisons and it was tough job. if we've hired Tania from Azzura before we started searching for a location, I am sure we would find a more "picture-perfect" place with her suggestion. anyway. after securing the venue, we started shopping for our photographer. we asked around our friends, and search online (from weddingwire, from yelp etc) , and called almost every studios from the wedding show catalog we've got. there were just too many choices - and some of them were booked at the date we chose, we ended up narrow down to 5 ~ 6 of them. and Azzura was in the shortlist. after we sent the links of their works to our various friends and family members to gather feedback, we got a lot more votes for Azzura - to quote some of our family members/friends' feedback - "Azzura's pictures tell the store vividly" , "I think Azzura has better sense of the whole surrounding for the picture", "look at the light, it feel so classy and so natural..." anyway, we talked to Tania over the phone, met with her once between we decided to hire her. I have to say, comparing to many photographers (including one who were from Hong Kong - considering as our own people) we've talked to, Tania just feel right and very professional. Tania is the co-owner of Azzura Photography Studio (another owner is her husband), they were both professional photographers before they met more than 10 years ago and owned their own studio already (it was a concern to me that some studio owned by a couple, only one of them are originally a photographer and the other just learned to do that under the coaching of the other) . Tania won a lot of awards with her own works. After we started working with Tania, we got so much help and advice from her. We are like from almost knew nothing and had no clue what the proceeding it would be like for our wedding to knowing almost every details. Tania told us everything, she suggested the timeline for us, shared with us a lot of connections and resources to choose from whenever we need a referral (and she was not concerned about whether we hire those or not - because her goal was to help us not to make money for her connections). Thank God we hired Tania! Everybody in our families love her! even the guest were very impressive by her. She came 15 minutes early in our wedding day and leave later then the time we have paid for. She is very energetic and ending up we getting so many photos in the hours of coverage we've paid for - which are so much more beyond our expectation! All of our guest are Chinese, and our whole wedding were carried out in Chinese; Tania were quite experienced with Asian wedding and that did not cause a problem to her (she told us that a high percentage of her clients are Asian). and of course ,the most important thing, we love our photos!!! Tania技术很好，拍出来的照片很自然，人物很好看，拍中国人的婚礼没有问题。谢谢！(Thank you!)
