I had found Sasha while looking for a photographer in the Seattle area and I absolutely loved her style; her editing really feels natural and realistic and it's a true testament to why she's as good as she is!

We hired Alex and his team for my photo and video. We had a 7-hour package from 2 PM to 9 PM at…read moreWillows Lodges. 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.

We've recommended Keoni to our friends, and they've all had great experiences and beautiful pictures as a result. On a recent trip to Seattle, my wife and I were able to meet up with Keoni again and had him show us the best parts of the city. So cool that he was there to capture those places and eventful moments for us on camera. Wouldn't it be awesome to always travel with your own personal photographer! While in Seattle we were introduced to John at happy hour, great personality and I would imagine easy to work with as well. I wouldn't hesitate to have these guys shoot our next big event.

This "business" shared a very insensitive joke about fertility on Instagram on April Fool's Day. I…read morewrote them a private message to let them know that joking about such things negatively impacts families who have suffered infertility, miscarriages, and children who have passed away. Instead of engaging with that message, which was very much a compassionate "calling in", the couple blocked me immediately. Do not work with this "business" if your family has experienced familial grief. They do not harbor the compassion, nor the professional capacity, to be sensitive to these things. I'm so glad they're not photographing my wedding. I encourage these photographers to consider their fragility and the gift it is to be called in. By refusing conversation, they've earned being called out. This is not a couple who deserve to photograph a special moment.
