Wedding photographers come in all shapes and sizes. They also come with all types of different personalities. Before my wife and I got started in wedding photography, we were dedicated to only providing wedding video services in the
Anyway, I didn’t want to dwell on that. What I did want to talk about was regarding some of the great wedding photographers in the Seattle area and beyond. I guess I am mentioning their names because in one way or another, they’ve influenced me or my craft.
Locally here in Seattle, the man who said a couple of words and gave me the confidence to get started in wedding photography is John Hong from John and Joseph Photography. At a wedding where I was providing wedding video coverage, John said to me, “You should do photography.” He probably didn’t realize I would actually do it. He didn’t know anything about me or whether I could capture great images. He just said it and it opened up my mind to the possibilities. It’s amazing how powerful words are eh?
Some others from Seattle that have inspired, challenged or encouraged me in the wonderful world of wedding photography are Me Ra Koh from Me Ra Koh Photography and Susie Hamidi from Susie Hamidi Photography. They not only make great images, but have the best personalities in the world which is so important.
If you live in the Chicago area, there are two wedding photographers I would highly recommend. Bob and Dawn Davis from La Storia foto are not only famous and world class photographers, but the most wonderful people in the world. Dawn always comments on my blog and encourages me. Her husband, Bob Davis, is a top photographer in the world recognized by Canon in a very exclusive group of photographers known as Explorers of Light. They are also dedicated to medical missions and being normal people =). Dawn Davis is also affiliated with Graphistudio Albums from Italy which is one of the lines of wedding albums we carry.
Kenny Kim from Kenny Kim Photography and Design is newer to the wedding photography industry, but one I would highly recommend. He is responsible for the picture of the bride in the red Lexus convertible on my videography website. I’ve been following his blog for almost 2 years now and he has a great passion for photography in general and now weddings.
If you’re from the New York area, Tony Yang from Tony Yang Studios does amazing and artful work. He provided the majority of the images for our videography site as well. Of course, all the images to our own wedding photography business were captured by my wife and me and we’d love to be hired as your wedding photographers too!
