We had the pleasure of working with Kimberly for our wedding in November 2025. She's calm, fast,…read moreand extremely organized, yet made us all feel completely relaxed and comfortable the entire day. The photos are stunning -- her eye for lighting, angles, and little candid moments were exactly what we were looking for. If you are looking for a photographer who is organized, an outstanding communicator, and truly polished behind the camera, I can't recommend Kimberly enough.

There are so many reasons to choose Into Dust Photography, but I'll start with the obvious: her…read morephotos are GORGEOUS. The quality of her photography is so immediately apparent that I never wanted her to stop taking pictures. It is so clear that photography is what Kimberly was meant to do, and for those of us that get to work with her, we are so lucky she's in this profession. Being a wedding photographer takes a certain skillset that Kimberly exemplifies a million times over. We are so fortunate that we only only got to work with Kimberly for our wedding, but for our engagement photos as well. Walking into those engagement photos a ball of nerves, Kim immediately made us feel at ease and gave direction to two people who had never done a photo shoot like that before. Our engagement photos turned out so stunning, and we had a great afternoon laughing and truly having a great time with Kim. On the day of our wedding, Kim was not only an incredible communicator and so prompt, but flawlessly wrangled the 12 members of our bridal party and the two of us getting married into some truly amazing shots. Her ability to give direction in such a clear way makes everything so much easier and taking photos before our wedding truly flew by. Her excitement to show you a great shot also adds to the excitement of the day - she is constantly keeping things fresh even when taking photos would otherwise feel like a long event. I cannot say enough great things about Kim and her second, Connor. They were so patient with us during the wedding and so kind to everyone who needed to be in photos, which, when you are taking family photos for quite some time, takes finessing and endless composure. Kim is everything. She also provided personal photo mementos at the end of the night that were entirely unexpected, so we got to leave our wedding with photos in hand already. I am so SO happy we were able to work together throughout our whole wedding. If you have the chance to work with Into Dust for any event you're planning, jump on the opportunity. She is the best!

Linda is AMAZING! She did our daughter's senior photographs and she captured the intangibles in her…read moreimages. She prepped our teen well- having her review other images and consider what appealed to her- thus finding exactly the right place for their shoot. She asked her to bring 5 different outfits that were reflective of her. During the shoot, my daughter felt comfortable and enjoyed the process which got images that reflected her moods, her body language, the ways in which she moves in the world. We were thrilled with the photos!!! Linda truly captured our daughter on film. Linda throughout the process kept us updated on what came next and assisted us through selecting images thoughtfully (which was hard with so many great ones to select from). Highly, highly recommend!!

Five stars just isn't enough for Angela and Evan. They deserve all of the stars…read more Photography was a huge priority for my husband and I as we planned our wedding, and we simply cannot imagine our wedding experience without Angela and Evan. They are not only artists and professionals, but the kindest, warmest people you will ever meet. From our very early correspondence, when we emailed back and forth and talked on the phone (we live on the East Coast, but got married in Seattle), Angela was thoughtful and dedicated, asking questions that showed she truly understands how wedding photography works. One of the things that makes her such an amazing photographer is the effort she puts into getting to know you before she even gets to the wedding - she walked through our venue with us, talked with me about the flow of the day, and made sure to stay in close touch with our wedding planner as well. Angela is so generous - when we decided at the last minute that we wanted to get engagement photos taken, she recommended a photographer friend on the East Coast for us. Some photographers might have been put out that we were asking for a recommendation, but not Angela. And on the wedding day itself, we were lucky beyond belief to get to work with both Angela and Evan - Angela shot me and my ladies as we got ready, and Evan was with the guys. Both of them were there for our first look, and throughout the rest of our day and night. While I never noticed them taking photos at the time, they somehow managed to capture all of the big and little moments that made our wedding so special to us - I don't know how they did it. It was so special to see them work together, too, as a married couple! My husband and I had booked a standard package, which ended an hour before the end of our reception - but Angela STAYED, out of the goodness of her heart, to capture our sparkler exit, because as she said, "I thought it would be really special for you guys to have those photos." Come on - that made me tear up, and filled my heart with such gratitude. Our wedding ended at 11pm, and we hung out with our guests at a bar until 1am. As we got in a cab to take us to our hotel, I got a text message from Angela with 20 incredible, beautiful photos from the day. Keep in mind - she had left the wedding at 11pm, too. So, after a full day of work, she went home and sent me a teaser of photos because she knew how excited I was to see them. You can't make this kind of stuff up; it's just too good to be true! And the delivery of the rest of the photos was amazing as well. Only a couple weeks later, we got a preview of about 80 more photos, and then the full album delivery about a month later. The quality of the photos is simply unmatched. And on top of all of that - which is already above and beyond what you could expect from a wedding photographer - Angela sent a beautiful goodie box last month with lovely prints and treats for us to enjoy. Again, I teared up. Working with Angela and Evan is one of the best decisions I've ever made - in life, not just in wedding planning. You will love them as much as you love your photos, which is to say: a lot!

When my husband and I began thinking about wedding planning just over a year ago, we knew the most…read moreimportant thing to us was finding a photographer that we loved. We agreed that having great photos of our big day was one of our very highest priorities, so the search was on to comb through all the options to find the photographer for us. After a referral from a family friend, we ended up meeting with Angela and booking with her right away without meeting with anyone else. This ended up being one of the best decisions we made throughout our whole wedding planning process. Angela is an absolutely incredible photographer and an even better human being. Our package included engagement photos in addition to the photos on our wedding day. My husband was pretty apprehensive about having his photo taken and was worried that he wouldn't feel comfortable in front of the camera. Angela is such a pro, she easily made him feel comfortable during the engagement shoot and brought out the best in both of us. From the beginning of working together, she felt like a friend and someone we could be ourselves around, which is so important when documenting your big day. When it came closer to the wedding, Angela went above and beyond to make sure we had the things we needed. Five days before the wedding, I realized to my horror that I hadn't ordered ANY sparklers for our sparkler exit....and it was no longer Summer so it was nearly impossible to find a vendor willing to sell me fireworks. I felt so stupid and, honestly, a little panicked that one of the elements of our day that I had spent so much time thinking about wasn't going to happen. After filling her in on our dilemma, Angela began searching for us and found a bride selling sparklers near me that I could meet and ALSO met a seller herself in Tacoma and brought those sparklers with her to the wedding. Seriously, guys, she's the real deal. When it came time for our wedding she absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was a calming presence throughout the pre-ceremony period, providing gentle and much needed direction so that we stayed on schedule and had time for all the photos we were hoping to get before the ceremony. During the ceremony and reception, she blended in seamlessly, capturing every important moment. We were faced with a large amount of rain during our outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception, but Angela took it in stride and captured absolutely beautiful photos every step of the way. I imagine it isn't easy to shoot under those conditions and with that amount of rain, but she made it look easy. Although the rain was less than ideal, we all chose to embrace the elements and see it as a romantic addition to the day. Angela did the same, and captured the spirit of that perfectly in her photos. After recently reviewing all of our photos from our wedding, we truly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. As mentioned above, she captured the spirit of the day better than I ever could have imagined and, in the process, made all our friends and family look SO good. Looking through all our photos is like reliving the day, and she documented every candid moment with a level of artistry that exceeded all our expectations. We are so proud to share our photos with our loved ones and, honestly, can't wait for an excuse to work with Angela again.

Zoë is always, timely, professional and easy to work with! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to get portraits done.

I cant say enough about Zoe. She is a beautiful wonderful photography angel…read more Before I even met Zoe, I think I sent her...roughly 400 emails. My husband and I wanted an engagement/wedding photo package, which Zoe has, but we knew nothing about wedding planning or anything. Zoe was the very first vendor we booked, so she got A LOT of my questions, she was so helpful even though that wasn't part of her job. My husband and I immediately clicked with her once we met up. Zoe specializes in beautiful out door photos but my husband and I are indoor kids so we went to pikes and card kingdom in Ballard, and we went to a park in Ballard. Our photos are gorgeous I love showing them off and talking up Zoe. Shes just great! Lastly if you are considering eloping have her do it! She has an elopement package.

As our first wedding anniversary approaches, the Dude and I have been remembering how wonderful…read moreApril 22nd, 2009 (Earth Day) was. Getting to know and promise your life to someone that can finish your sentences, randomly knows what you want to eat, shares passions and challenges with you, offers you a shoulder to cry or a darling hug is a blessing. We're blessed but such joy is not easy to capture in photographs. Flipping the pages of our wedding album, we are amazed with how Kristi was able to translate our feelings and hopes into the beautiful images she took on our special day. As a professional photographer I can say working with Kristi was a truly lovely experience. She is definitely doing was she was born to do, and she (and her husband Joe) are aces at this profession. And with that I mean they know their job very well, always adding the best bonuses: being warm and fun, too! Not only it was a pleasure to pose for Kristi, our session at Gasworks Park was relaxed, and perfect for us to prepare for what we were embarking on. We are very happy to say our wedding photos are a work of art; Kristi composed them beautifully, focusing on getting the perfect expressions and moments. The final images were carefully selected and processed. Great colors, perfect contrasts, and happiness written all over our faces is what we have to cherish until "death do us part". Always remember that the only thing that stays with you after your wedding ceremony and reception are the photos. You will be forever delighted with the decision of choosing Kristi and Joe to make them for you. ¡Gracias, Kristi and Joe!

She is great with everyone, suggests awesome locations, and then gives us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I had no idea family portraits could be so fun, relaxed and beautiful, after a childhood of being dragged into department store photo studios with a scowl on my face. Our kids love her - she doesn't ask them to pose a certain way or "hold still" (what 3yo can do that?). She captures their personalities and it is pure magic. She is professional and patient, and has amazing talent.

I can't say enough good things about Vera, but I'll try…read more.. 1) She is very accommodating. She was scheduled to fly out to CA at the end of the week and only had 1 day to shoot my maternity photos. I couldn't book the photos any later because I was already 37 weeks. The day we booked was gloomy. She had planned to scout a location the next day but switched her schedule to get our photos done. The day turned out to be sunny and amazing! The photos were incredible because she was flexible with her schedule despite it being tight! 2) Again her photos are amazing. She has a great eye and is artistic. She captured many amazing photos of us! She knew the perfect angles, the best lighting, and where to go in Seattle for the best moments to capture. 3) Her price is very reasonable for the quality and experience she gave us. I paid a lot more for photos in Paris that do not compare! 4) She is very personable and easy to get along with. 5) She gets sneak peeks to you the very next day and the rest of the photos were guaranteed in 2 weeks but she got them to us in like a week! 6) She knows her limits. A lot of photographers out there overbook themselves and can't make deadlines. She takes her time to provide quality edited photos and again..she got them to us before the 2 week mark. Going back to the photos from Paris...it took them almost 3 months to get all the final edited photos to us. 7) I will definitely use her again. I've recommended her to friends. Some of which have used her more than once as well!

Oh Laurel, I am so smitten with you!…read more My fiancé and I knew from the beginning that a HUGE portion of our wedding budget would be going to photography. To us, it is the *most* important thing you can spend money on for a wedding. Period. We had actually chosen a photographer (slightly out of our budget) hailing from Bellingham, but she had to cancel on us because she found out she was pregnant. We were crushed, but then... we found Laurel. :) Her website is fantastic, but she absolutely won me over with her personality! By our third email, I felt like we were old friends. When we met her in person, we just knew she was going to "get" us. She specializes in photojournalistic photography, which, in my opinion, is the only way to go for weddings. Just look at her site. Oh, and be sure to check out her blog for all her most recent work. In addition to what you would expect to find in a wedding photographer's service list, Laurel offers genius extras like: a photo booth (yes, please!), a "getting to know you" shoot (yes, please!), and an after-wedding "trash the dress" shoot (ask her about this one, it's amazing!). She also does non-wedding photography that we would love to indulge in someday. We have not done our GTKY shoot yet, but I promise to update when we do! Stay tuned...
