Photo Yari Photography

My process is warm, simple, and client-focused. First, we connect via email or a quick phone call to understand your vision, location, and needs. I then recommend a photography package that fits your event or session. Once booked, I’ll guide you through preparation, styling tips, and location ideas if needed. On the day of the shoot, I focus on making you feel comfortable while capturing natural, beautiful moments. After the session, you’ll receive a preview gallery within a few days and your full edited gallery shortly after—ready to download, print, and share.

I am a classically trained photographer with formal education in portrait and event photography, combined with over 10 years of hands-on experience. I’ve completed advanced courses in lighting, composition, and wedding photography, and continuously stay updated on the latest techniques, gear, and editing tools. My training allows me to deliver professional-quality images in any environment—indoors, outdoors, or on-location—and ensures every client receives timeless, beautifully crafted photos.

Yes, I offer transparent and flexible pricing tailored to different types of photography sessions. Weddings start at $1,200 for intimate coverage and range up depending on hours, locations, and add-ons. Elopements begin at $850 with customized packages available for mountain, beach, or city locations. Family & Maternity Sessions start at $250 for a one-hour session. Event Photography starts at $350 per hour with a two-hour minimum. All packages include high-resolution edited images in a private online gallery. Custom quotes are available for multi-location shoots or special requests.

Photography started as a personal passion and quickly became my life’s work. I was classically trained in portrait photography and began capturing moments for friends and family. Over time, I discovered how powerful it is to preserve love, connection, and milestones through the lens. That passion led me to specialize in weddings, elopements, and family photography across Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Today, I feel honored to help people tell their stories through images that last a lifetime.

I’ve worked with a wide range of clients across Seattle and the Pacific Northwest—including engaged couples, eloping adventurers, growing families, expectant mothers, high school seniors, and corporate event organizers. From intimate courthouse weddings to large cultural celebrations and quiet family sessions in the park, I’m experienced in adapting to every client’s needs, personality, and setting. Whether it's your first professional photo shoot or your fifth anniversary, I tailor the experience to make every client feel confident and seen.

One recent event that truly stands out was a surprise courthouse elopement at the King County Courthouse in Seattle. The couple contacted me just two days before their ceremony—it was intimate, emotional, and beautifully simple. After the vows, we walked through Pioneer Square and along the waterfront for spontaneous portraits. The energy was joyful and relaxed, and the light that day was perfect. It reminded me why I love this work: capturing genuine love in the moments that matter most.

Look for a photographer whose style matches your vision—and who makes you feel comfortable and understood. Review full galleries, not just highlights, to see how they capture real moments across different lighting and locations. Ask about their experience with your specific type of session, whether it's a wedding, elopement, or family shoot. Great photography isn’t just about the camera—it’s about connection, consistency, and trust. Choose someone who listens, guides you through the process, and cares about telling your story authentically.

Before reaching out, think about what kind of experience you want. Ask yourself: What type of photography do I need—wedding, family, elopement, maternity, or event? Do I have a date, time, or location in mind? How many people will be part of the session? What style of photos do I love—posed, candid, editorial, or natural? What’s my ideal budget, and what’s most important to me: time, quality, location, or turnaround? Having a clear vision helps us recommend the right package, plan the best session, and deliver exactly what you’re hoping for.
