JayLee Photography

YOU BRING THE AWESOME. WE TAKE PICTURES OF IT.

Hello! Hello! We are Josh and Ali, and we're super silly married folks. We love shooting weddings together, and more importantly we love shooting LIFE (Too corny? Well, we aren't Don Draper and Peggy Olson so give us a break). We have shot people who are a lil' bit country, a little bit rock n' roll, people who are "seasoned" at life and love, same-sex couples, self-proclaimed nerds, all nationalities, people who love vintage, and people who dress in renaissance attire (for reals) …we love them all. We love you tattooed folk and you punk-rock kids.

We love quirky, radtastic people because they connect with our photos and we connect with them. Not only do we love to photograph the hugging/loving/kissing/snuggling, but we make sure to catch the behind-the scenes shenanigans, the special details you slaved over, and the spur of the moment randomness.Our photo-style is fresh, sweet, hot out of the oven tasty-as-pie. We want you to see our pictures and say, "Gee willikers, batman, there was a lot of love on that day!"

We use bright, natural colors and try to capture the true essence of your day. We don't over saturate or contrast our photos, we don't follow photography trends because they are trendy, and we don't even think of taking old-school traditional photos. That said, we have a style all our own from the way we frame our photos to the way we edit. With both of us along for the ride, you get two perspectives. Josh is the pee-wee to Ali's herman, and Ali is the peanut butter to Josh's jelly. Ying and Yang. That kind of thing. Whatever. It sounded better in our heads.

We believe you should actually like your photographers (after all, we will be stalking you like paparazzi on one of the most important days of your life). Get to know us on our website and blog (Go ahead. Permission to stalk us.). See what we are into. Or just call us up. We will buy you a coffee or adult beverage, ask you personal questions, and compliment you on your great wedding ideas or awesome hair.

We live in Seattle, shoot regularly in Phoenix, travel in the U.S. for pretty darn cheap, and have passports that desperately need to be stamped.

Tooting our own horn: (We have recently been featured on The Charity Wedding Blog, in Seattle Bride Magazine, and were voted as a finalist for Best New Wedding Vendor for "Seattle Bride's Best of 2011".)

Oh, and congrats on the whole getting engaged thing! We can't wait to meet you! Hoo-rah!

"We were SO lucky to have met Josh and Ali. They have an easy, friendly way about them that makes you comfortable in front of the camera. Initially we fell in love with their personalities and then their work. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or pictures." -Jen+Cory

How I cater to Offbeat Brides

* Our pictures are almost as rad as you are. Almost. Probably.

We don't charge by how many hours we will be at your wedding. We stay for the whole shebang.
We don't bring a stranger to your wedding as a second shooter. We are a package deal. Two for the price of one, no matter what package you choose.
We edit and stylize every single one of your photos individually (not just a small "collection"). No batch editing. No outsourcing. All 700+ are ready to be made into an album, printed, or posted on Facebook.
For our three main packages you get a disk with all of your fully edited images, printing rights, AND a custom designed unique-to-you album.
Um. Did I mention we edit for no cost? Painstakingly? We may leave the funny smeared lipstick on your lush-aunt's face from the reception, but we take the liberty to photoshop out the ugly trash can that ended up behind your spur-of-the-moment money dance (if you're into that kind of thing).
Budget pricing: Our new JayLee Lite package is 2000 buckaroos.
