SEATTLE AREA WEDDINGS

While I was born in Greenwood, Seattle, and lived there until I was 8, I grew up mostly in Poulsbo, Washington, on the Kitsap Peninsula. I’ve decided to spend the rest of my life in this area because it is the most secret wonderland in all the world, I think. Below you will find “Seattle Weddings,” because each location is within an hour or two from the city, but each with such a stunning micro-world of it’s own.

“I can’t recommend Kendall enough. She was calm, cool, and collected all day, and she has an eye for magic and romance. Her photos are honest and true, but I felt like a movie star in all of them. I can’t stop looking at them, and I have a new favorite every time I do. Kendall is the kind of photographer who can kindly tell your groomsman to stop man-spreading, but still feel like your new best friend.”
— Claire, Seattle
“First of all, the quality of the photos Kendall took at our wedding were absolutely amazing and we will treasure them forever! Kendall shot our small gathering on Whidbey Island - a place where she had to deal with unpredictable weather and capturing important moments without disrupting the intimate moments we shared with our friends and family.

She was proactive about scouting locations ahead of time so that we could get some AMAZING photos without having to spend time hemming and hawing and missing out on time with our loved ones.

She perfectly balanced being easy/fun to be around with being efficient and behind-the-scenes as needed. An overall wonderful experience!”
— Patrick, Whidbey Island
“Hiring Kendall was the best decision we made in our wedding planning. She is incredible as both a photographer and a human. Our wedding photos were gorgeous. Our wedding took place during a gloomy and rainy day in the PNW, yet Kendall captured our day very beautifully. She was also very calm, kind, and gently directed us and our families to ensure that we all looked our best during our photos. I cannot recommend her enough and she will be our go-to photographer for any future life milestones and moments.”
— Zhana, Fall City
“Kendall is the MOST AMAZING photographer you could ever hope for for any special occassion! She photographed our Covid wedding in Poulsbo, WA. Our ceremony took place on a boat with our closest loved ones and friends watching from sailboats nearby. Our reception was a beautiful, intimate backyard celebration. Kendall truly made the day special during such stressful and chaotic times. She was an absolute ROCK (pun intended) and so fun to be around and be photographed by!”
— Jake, Poulsbo
“Choosing Kendall as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made for our special day. She was professional and friendly, and her attention to detail was exceptional. She got to know us a bit and was unbelievably reliable at getting all the photos that mattered to us, along with some wonderful candid storytelling moments! The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and she captured every moment beautifully. Furthermore, she captured some beautiful photos of our guests that helped us feel like we never missed a single second. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Kendall to anyone looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer. THANK YOU KENDALL FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!”
— Rachel, Snohomish
“Kendall is amazing!! She is thoroughly professional while also being friendly, relaxed, and all around a good time. Having her be such an integral part of our wedding day was one of the best choices we made. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She’s also excellent at herding stray family members and we knocked out those family portraits in no time. Her photographic style perfectly captured our day. She sent us a sneak peek within 48 hours and the rest of the photos were delivered quickly. She’s the best!”
— Emily, Poulsbo

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I honestly think that 90% of my clients think that they are awkward or unphotogenic. Look at these photos. Do these people look awkward to you? I am here for you, and have years of experience in helping folks loosen up. You’ll notice that my style is very documentary-esque, full of candids and micro moments, and light on stiff poses, where awkwardness festers.

  • The best way to see my most recent work is to check out my blog - though I won’t lie to you, I am 1+ years behind on blogging some weddings! They happen so fast.

  • I book one year in advance. This helps me keep my sanity, and a little bit of control over my schedule (my nightmare is that I will be scheduled to photograph a wedding on a day that my best friend schedules her wedding for). You are welcome to reach out earlier, and your date will get pencilled in on my calendar, but I won’t be able to confirm you until a year out. 

  • I do not offer video services anymore, but I can recommend some awesome videographers.

  • It depends on the scope of the wedding and your interest. I'm comfortable covering most weddings on my own, but once we get into large wedding parties and guest counts (250+), I recommend a second shooter to help me make sure I capture everyone you love!
