We had an absolutely wonderful experience with my friend's wedding photography service in Seattle! From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our special day memorable.

The photographers were incredibly talented and captured so many beautiful moments—not just the posed photos, but also the candid emotions, laughter, and little details that made our wedding day unique. They were organized, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.

The final photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Every time we look through them, we feel like we are reliving the day all over again. The quality, attention to detail, and creativity were outstanding.

If you’re looking for a wedding or event photographer in the Seattle area, we highly recommend them. They helped make our wedding day even more special, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

I had an amazing experience with Yari from PhotoYari Photography for my surprise proposal in Bellevue, WA. From the beginning, he was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and he helped me plan everything so I could focus on the proposal without worrying about the photography or videography.

On the day of the proposal, Yari arrived early and found the perfect spot to capture the moment without giving away the surprise. My fiancée had no idea he was there, which was exactly what I wanted. He captured her reaction, the proposal, and so many candid moments that we would have otherwise missed.

After the proposal, we did a short engagement-style photo session around the location. Yari made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave us direction without making the photos feel overly posed. The pictures turned out beautiful, natural, and full of emotion. We especially loved how he captured both the scenery and the small moments between us.

I’m very happy that I chose PhotoYari Photography for such an important day. If you’re planning a surprise proposal in Bellevue, Seattle, or anywhere around the Seattle area and are looking for a professional proposal photographer, I highly recommend Yari. He made the entire experience easy and gave us photos that we’ll always have to remember this day. Big shout to Yari!!!

Mahdi and PhotoYari Photography photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, and our experience with him was excellent from beginning to end.

He was reliable, professional, easy to communicate with, and very attentive to the details that mattered to us. On our wedding day, he handled everything calmly and captured a great combination of portraits, family photos, ceremony moments, and candid interactions throughout the day. He also helped me realize when I was making faces (I like to bite my cheeks when I’m in my thoughts).

What I appreciated most was the consistency of his work. Our engagement photos and wedding gallery both have a polished, professional look while still feeling natural and authentic to us. He clearly puts a lot of care into the photography and editing process.

I would confidently recommend PhotoYari Photography to anyone looking for a professional wedding photographer in Seattle, north Seattle Washington, or the Pacific Northwest. If you need someone for engagement photography and wedding photography who can stay with you throughout the entire journey, Mahdi is a great choice.

Ps. Yes we do have the same first name 😝

We had an excellent experience working with Mahdi and PhotoYari Photography for our wedding. From beginning to end, he was professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about capturing the important moments of our day.

What impressed me most was his ability to photograph both the big moments and the small candid ones. The ceremony, family and friends, reception, dance floor, and portraits were all captured beautifully. Even during fast-moving moments, the photographs are sharp, emotional, and full of energy.

Mahdi also brought a second photographer, which gave us even more perspectives and memories from the day, and we greatly appreciated the extra effort. The final gallery exceeded our expectations. I would confidently recommend PhotoYari Photography to anyone searching for a professional wedding photographer in Seattle, Washington, or the Pacific Northwest.

Great price

If you are looking for a wedding photographer who can capture the true heart of your day, look no further than Madhi! We received our gallery with an incredibly fast turnaround, and we are absolutely overwhelmed with sheer joy. Looking at his photos feels like reliving our wedding all over again! 💗

Madhi has an incredible gift for capturing raw, wildly emotional moments in such beautiful detail. I am so in love with the close-up photos, which capture our raw and powerful emotions perfectly. The touching, teary shots and all the playful moments with my husband and our family and friends are definitely my absolute favorites. They feel so authentic and bring back all the feelings from that day. 🥹

I was also completely blown away by the dance floor photos! Even with so much movement happening, Madhi masterfully caught the emotion, the power, and the pure joy of our dance moves. We also loved the veil photos and the golden hour shots. His technique of capturing the setting sun so it looks like a crystal or jewel right in between us is just brilliant!!! 💃

We also want to express a very special thank you to Madhi for bringing his incredibly talented and creative son as a secondary shooter. We were so honored to have him there capturing our day, and deeply touched by their generosity and teamwork. We are so, so grateful for this beautiful creation and cannot recommend Madhi highly enough! 💝

We feel so lucky to have had the pleasure of booking Mahdi for our wedding! While our wedding is not until September of this year, we had an amazing engagement session with him in April. Not only was Mahdi incredibly kind, accommodating, communicative and professional, his artistic touch to our photos is something truly beautiful! His skills, ability to make you feel comfortable in your own skin, and attention to detail are unmatched! From his great intuition and talent for capturing the best angles and poses to his expert editing, our photos will be cherished for a lifetime. We were a little nervous about being photographed professionally, but we would 10/10 recommend Mahdi for any event that you want to remember forever!
