Bellingham Wedding Photographer blending pnw beauty with a relaxed approach

serving the pacfic northwest from Bellingham TO SEATTLE and beyond

Hey, we’re Stefan & Audrey!

We’re a Bellingham wedding photographer, but travel almost anywhere, and usually end up all over Washington state every year.

We understand what it’s like searching for a photographer. You maybe aren’t even sure what to look for, you just know you want an easy, fun experience and some stunning photos to look back on forever. Oh hey, sweet, that’s our vibe too!

We’ve been doing this for almost 15 years, and we still love it passionately.

We actually love hand selecting and editing photos. No AI here.

We learn something at every wedding. 300+ weddings later, we’ve learned… a lot.

We aren’t influencers or educators. We’re here for YOU and nobody else. You can’t buy our presets, our course on how to “book ideal clients”, or find us seeking a massive following online. We just want to photograph weddings, and do it so well that the rest of the noise goes away.

The only award we’ll ever talk about receiving (and that we think actually matters) is that 100% of our reviews have been 5 out of 5 stars. Every single one.

If you’re looking for a trusted local Whatcom County wedding photographer around the Bellingham, Mt Baker, Snohomish, or even the Seattle area, you’re finally in the right place!

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve been around enough weddings to know that sometimes, things can be stressful. But pictures don’t have to be! It not only benefits the photos when we help you to relax, but you actually can and should have fun with it! We want you to be as natural, and as “you” as possible, so we’ll gently direct and make suggestions, but rigid poses aren’t our thing. (yeah yeah yeah, we realize there aren’t many photographers out there claiming rigid poses ARE their thing…) We’ve found that some of the best moments are ones of laughter and anticipation, of relaxed reflection, and unscripted love between the two of you. And it all starts with us trusting each other. You could describe our “style” like you would a hang out sesh with your friends! At the same time as enjoying our time together, we’re always making sure we are sticking to the schedule and getting all the shots as well! Aside from all that, our editing style is what you are looking at here. We’ve been described as moody before, but truly, we try to keep colors looking true to life, with a touch of filmy cinema. There’s a fine line between “true to life” and “artistic” and we try to straddle that line, so that in 30-40 years from now, your wedding photos don’t look like a long gone trend from the 2020s. 😉

Good question. And it’s a tough one. Because there IS a lot of talent out there to choose from, especially when you type in “Seattle Wedding Photographer”. It really comes down to finding someone who is the best fit for you guys. You’re reading this far because you dig the photos. But also, we assume you also prioritize a the wedding experience, the photographer’s reviews, and an affordable price. Something else to consider though is that you will be spending your entire wedding day with your photographer(s). We pride ourselves in the fact that our couples feel like we are old friends on a double date, and at the end of the day, want us to stick around and keep dancing. That is incredibly special to us, and that can only be achieved through a strong personal connection, having genuine fun together, and becoming friends through the process. (Don’t worry, we do not HAVE to be your new best friends, but we will for sure treat you like it) A perfect track record of 5 star reviews is also something we are proud to mention as well. 😉 More info about us is on our ABOUT page!

We LOVE our Canon gear. We started on Canon and have no plans on switching it up. We love prime lenses and only use flash when it’s totally necessary. We always bring backup gear as well, and double-backup your photos immediately following weddings & sessions.

We’ve shot enough weddings that we know what to look for and what shots are needed/not needed, so we don’t work off a list, per say. And honestly, our creativity can get stunted if we are focused on getting a bunch “Pinterest” shots that won’t even look the same as you saw them online. Your wedding’s specific and unique story should be told as it unfolds! Every wedding is different in some way, and we celebrate that fact wholeheartedly. We do, however, ask for a combination list of your family members if you desire family formal photos, to make that time smooth, quick, and easy for everyone. Yes, we can get bossy if needed! 🙂 That being said, if you have a photo request, we’re totally open to making it happen!

The first wedding Stefan ever shot was back in 2008. Let’s just say he had a LONG way to go. But shooting as much as possible, he kept getting better. Audrey was always around helping, so she started clicking away alongside Stefan in 2011. She caught on way quicker than Stefan did. 🙂 Over 350 weddings later, here we are! At this point you could say we’re seasoned pros, but I think we’re just getting started!

Your photos will be hand selected and edited by us, (nothing is done by AI) and delivered via a downloadable online gallery within about 8-10 weeks. (A little quicker than that in the winter/spring, and potentially a little longer at the end of summer.) All of our packages grant you full rights to print and share your photos however you’d like! You can even share the gallery link with friends and family. Also, we always send out a few “sneak peek” images within a few days of the wedding, to hold you over! Your online gallery will have tons of options to order prints and photo products, but they’re your photos, so you have the freedom to choose whatever!

We hear ya. When we got married, we felt the same way. We’re here to help though!

Step one is sending us an inquiry! From there we’ll send you back a full pricing guide and our availability. We offer digital contracts and a simple online payment system.

Once booked, we’ll even send you a full PDF wedding guide we’ve created for you to utilize as you plan! If you have questions or want recommendations, we’re always happy to help. We have a lot of wedding knowledge and experience, and if you want a recommendation on a venue, whether or not to do a first look, or even what time of day the light looks best for an outdoor ceremony, we got your back!
Can’t wait to meet you!

INQUIRE HERE 🙂

Oh man, I thought you’d never ask. For breakfast, definitely have to go with White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Pineapple Banana Pancakes with Coconut Syrup. Followed by a nap. And for dinner, a coconut crusted filet of monchong with mango salsa for Audrey, a ribeye for Stefan, garlic bread, a side of asparagus, and a bowl of creamy mac & cheese.
Or a chicken caesar salad & french fries if we don’t feel like cooking. 🙂
Thanks for asking. What’s yours?

Why We Became Bellingham Wedding photographers

We didn’t exactly set out to become wedding photographers. This career kind of snuck up on us. One day we were just living our simple little lives in Lynden, Washington, and the next, we were booking weddings left and right and life changed very quickly. Turns out, when you’re in your 20s and know a lot of people getting married, (and you own a decent camera), you end up getting asked to photograph a lot of weddings. Couples started coming to us from Bellingham and Lynden, all the way down to Portland and to Hawaii, and each time we got home from a wedding, we started craving the next one. So here we are, in a totally unexpected career that we actually love, being a Bellingham Wedding Photographer. As it turns out, it is possible to do what you love, make a living, and have a blast all at the same time!
