Congratulations on your engagement! Your wedding day will be one of the happiest days of your life, and we would love to be the company you trust to capture all those rare and beautiful moments on your special day. You want to be sure you hire an experienced photographer you can trust to not miss a single treasured moment. Thank you for taking the time to consider Rebecca Jane Photography, we know what a big decision it is choosing your photographer, and would be honored to be the company you trust with the memories you'll cherish forever.

“Rebecca Jane Photography is, without question, a 12/10 in every possible way — Rebecca and Alex are simply the best photography team out there. Their photos are flawless, and honestly, there are so many incredible shots from our wedding that it's nearly impossible to pick favorites. Despite being insanely busy, their communication was outstanding, and they even worked in an engagement session around the holidays to accommodate us since we lived out of state — that kind of flexibility and care says everything about who they are. They're not just amazing photographers, they're even better people, and it showed in how beautifully they collaborated with all of our vendors, especially our videographer; Rebecca made a point several times to include shots she knew he'd want too, which is such a thoughtful, team-player mentality you don't always find. We also booked their photo booth and designed our own custom backdrop for it, and it ended up being a total hit — plus they shared all the photo booth pictures within our wedding gallery, which made it even more fun to relive. If you are searching for your wedding photography team, look no further — Rebecca and Alex are it, seriously. This team is talented, genuine, hardworking, and an absolute joy to have as part of your wedding day. Book them without a second thought! - Jess & Tristen Witt”

  • Classic style

Hi friends! We are a young husband and wife photog & film team based in Seattle, Washington. We are so honored to capture the love and joy we see in our clients. Our brides and grooms want lasting memories, authentic moments, and of most all, they just want to have FUN! We believe that getting to know our couples is the best way to ensure an awesome experience. We love to hear your story and all of your little quirks. We can't wait to hear from you!

“Sam and Sola are the best! We’re not naturally comfortable in front of a camera and almost questioned whether photography was worth the investment (everyone is so expensive!) because of that—but they proved us completely wrong. If anything, people like us need good photographers the most. They made us feel so safe and guided us the entire time, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day. They give really clear direction (there’s definitely a science to posing), and after our engagement session we already felt way more confident. On the wedding day, they were the perfect balance of being present but not intrusive. They caught so many genuine moments, but also stepped in right when we needed help or encouragement. Their team is also amazing at hyping everyone up, which honestly made the whole day feel even better. Something I didn’t expect is how much they helped the flow of the day—they kept us on time without stress and reminded us to actually be present. They would prompt us to slow down, look at each other, and take it all in, which made a huge difference. As the bride, I was really nervous about how I’d look in photos, but Sola was so thoughtful about that during planning that I didn’t even think about it on the day. Looking back at the photos now, I genuinely feel so good about how I look. When we got our gallery, we were blown away. So many beautiful moments, guest reactions, and details we missed—and the editing (lighting and colors) is just stunning. It feels like reliving a really good dream. 100% worth it.”

“I cannot say enough good things about our photographer/videographer from sound originals. Our photographer was on it. She paid attention to details, she hyped us all up and never made us feel awkward, communication was excellent, she even helped me put my veil on. Above all else the photographs she captured exceeded every expectation I had. I am the kind of person to take a million pictures of myself and hate them all, but I looked beautiful in every picture. My confidence after seeing those pictures has skyrocketed. She was a true gem of a human, the sidekick every bride needs. She knew when I had enough of posing for photos and wanted to get back to the party, and she never made us feel bad about it at all. I wish for every bride to have an amazing team behind them and just know if you choose to go with sound originals, you will.”

“I could not speak more highly of Shawn’s work and him as a person. In my experience, choosing a photographer was the most stressful and intense choice in the vendor process, and I have to say when I saw Shawn’s profile and his pricing I felt so good and at ease. After receiving our whole wedding album in less than 4 weeks I can say wholeheartedly - he was the best and easiest choice we made! Our guests remarked that Shawn was so thorough, peaceful, sweet, and present but - in the background. He perfectly blended in with our day yet captured every single moment so we could always feel natural. He got every moment without being over the top. Every photo he gave us in both color and B/W so we could choose, and a ton of film photos to bring a beautiful alternate perspective. Sincerely, choose Shawn because he was perfect!”

I’m Oxana (Oxy), a Seattle-based wedding and portrait photographer with a documentary heart and an editorial eye. I love capturing weddings the way they truly feel — honest, unposed, and full of quiet in-between moments that often go unnoticed. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, present, and completely yourself in front of the camera. I work best with couples who value connection over perfection and want their photos to feel natural, personal, and deeply intentional.

“From our engagement shoot, we knew Oxy was going to be amazing, but we didn’t realize just how impactful she would be throughout our entire wedding experience. During our engagement session, she made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She let us truly be ourselves while still gently guiding us into the best poses and moments. She had fun prompts that genuinely made us laugh, never felt intrusive or “in our face,” and delivered so many beautifully edited photos with natural colors and timeless editing. Leading up to the wedding, Oxy was incredibly helpful and encouraging through all of her planning check-ins. She provided thoughtful photo checklists, helpful suggestions, and made the entire process feel organized and stress-free. On our wedding day she captured our first look perfectly while also giving us the privacy and space to truly be present with each other in the moment. She also somehow managed to wrangle our entire family for portraits while still keeping everything calm and fun and ensuring nothing got missed. So many of our friends and family commented on how warm, kind, and wonderful our photographer was, which is such a testament to who Oxy is as both a person and a professional. She delivered far more photos than we expected, and every single one feels meaningful and high quality. We had shared the people and moments that mattered most to us, and she captured every single one beautifully. I’m currently pregnant with our first child, and we’ll absolutely be using Oxy again for maternity photos. She’s the kind of photographer that once you find her, you keep coming back for every milestone. We truly could not imagine our wedding day without her, and I cannot recommend her enough.”

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

“Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.”

“One of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received was that my photographs were beyond stunning and worthy of being featured in a wedding magazine—and I couldn’t agree more. Noelle’s passion and artistry in photography are truly spectacular. Every photograph from my engagement session and wedding was elegant, timeless, and far exceeded my expectations. Noelle and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I trusted them completely with my wedding day vision, which they brought to life beautifully. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“To know Andrew is such a blessing BUT to be able to have one of the most special days of your life captured by Andrew, while having his grounded energy by your side is any couples dream come true. He is not only a visionary, but also a calm, collected and energizing presence necessary to have behind the lens through all of the wedding day festivities! He traveled to Italy for a few days with me, my spouse, my closest friends, and our family, and he left us with the most priceless photo memories. Not only is he a great dance partner and hypeman, he’s also an amazing photographer and his positivity brings a sense of joy to every photo opp. I don’t have all the right words to describe how much his presence meant on our special day but what I can say is- don’t think twice, you’ve found your photographer.”

Hey, I’m Ali! I’m a Seattle/Tacoma wedding and elopement photographer who’s a little obsessed with love stories that don’t feel cookie-cutter. I’m drawn to moody forests, dramatic dresses, intimate moments, and weddings where you can actually be yourselves. I’m inspired by movies, music, and the feeling of being completely transported somewhere else which is probably why I have a slight obsession with anything Twilight-inspired. I want to create photos that feel cinematic, romantic, nostalgic, and unmistakably yours. Whether you’re planning a huge wedding, an elopement, or something completely unconventional, I’m here for it.

“Anytime you go to get your photo taken it is nerve wracking especially if it is something you are not used to doing every day. Ali was very comforting and sweet and made sure that my partner and I had fun. She is very communicative and kind and made the process so easy for us. I highly recommend her!”
