Affordable wedding photography shouldn’t mean cutting corners—it should mean smart coverage, transparent pricing, and beautiful images that feel like you. Based in Seattle and serving the Pacific Northwest, PhotoYari Photography blends editorial polish with real, candid moments so you get a gallery that’s timeless, personal, and fairly priced.
What “affordable” means here (value without compromise)Affordable doesn’t equal “cheap.” It means you pay for what actually matters on your day—coverage that fits your timeline, expert lighting in any venue or weather, and a calm, professional experience from inquiry to delivery. We keep pricing clear, recommend only the hours you truly need, and include the essentials most couples end up wanting anyway.
What’s included in every collection
• Unlimited professionally edited, high-resolution images (typical range ~60–100 photos per hour)
• Consistent color work and cohesive editorial finishing
• Private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing
• Full personal print rights for albums and wall art
• Timeline planning and location guidance for optimal light• Redundant pro gear and dual-card capture for reliability
Coverage options tailored to your day
• 6 Hours – Ceremony, family formals, couple portraits, and reception highlights. Great for single-venue days.
• 8 Hours – Adds getting-ready moments and fuller reception storytelling (toasts, first dances, dance floor).
• 10 Hours – Complete, relaxed coverage from details and prep through grand exit; ideal for multi-location schedules or longer cultural celebrations.
• Elopements & Micro-Weddings (custom) – Flexible weekday options across the PNW, from city halls to alpine overlooks.
When to add a second photographerConsider a second shooter if you have: large guest counts, split getting-ready locations, a tight timeline, or you want more angles of key moments (processional, vows, first dances). For intimate, single-location weddings, one photographer often fits perfectly.
Ways to save without sacrificing quality
• Consolidate locations to minimize drive time and maximize photos.
• Choose weekday or shoulder-season dates for more flexibility.
• Build a photo-friendly timeline around golden hour; consider a first look.
• Streamline family formals (group by household) for efficient coverage.
• Start with essentials; add albums or rehearsal coverage later if needed.
