Planning your wedding in Seattle or the Pacific Northwest? At SeaTown Photo, we understand that choosing the right photographer is a big decision. To help you feel confident and informed, we’ve compiled answers to the 10 most frequently asked questions about our Seattle wedding photography services.
1. How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
Most couples book 9–12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (May–October). If your wedding is sooner, reach out—we may still have availability!
2. Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement sessions are a great way to capture your love story before the big day. They help you get comfortable in front of the camera and create beautiful, natural photos to use for invitations, save-the-dates, or personal keepsakes.
3. How many photos will we receive from our wedding?
The number of photos depends on your wedding package, but on average, couples receive 600–1,200 fully edited images from their wedding day.
4. How long does it take to receive our wedding photos?
We carefully edit every image to perfection. Our standard turnaround time is 6–8 weeks, but we offer rush delivery options if you need them sooner!
5. What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
Seattle is known for its unpredictable weather, but we embrace it! We bring clear umbrellas, find beautiful indoor or covered locations, and use expert lighting techniques to ensure your photos still look stunning.
