Emett Joseph Photography
Emett Joseph Photography is the work of Emett and Cass, a husband-and-wife team based in Seattle. Emett began photographing weddings professionally in 2019, and Cass joined the business in 2023. Both were born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and the region's forests, lakes, mountains and city waterfronts run through their portfolio.
Their approach is documentary and story-led. On the day the two work as a pair: Cass takes the details, such as rings and vow books, and the quieter candid moments, while Emett photographs the getting-ready with family and looks for interesting light and composition. They aim to keep couples relaxed, with prompts for posing rather than stiff, formal direction.
“Come for the photos, stay for the vibe.”
Emett Joseph Photography
They have photographed more than 150 weddings across seven US states and two countries, from vineyard and lodge weddings to waterfront ceremonies, courthouse weddings and elopements in Olympic National Park. Their work has been published in Seattle Bride, Oregon Wedding Day and Washington Wedding Day, and has been recognised by JuneBug Weddings and PNW Weddings.
Every collection includes location recommendations, help building the photography timeline, a personalised questionnaire, vendor recommendations and a highlight gallery of about 100 photographs within a week of the wedding. The full gallery follows within 12 weeks, delivered online with unlimited downloads and printing rights. Travel and taxes are included in the quoted price.
They work with couples and planners across Seattle, Snohomish, the Olympic Peninsula, Portland and the Oregon coast, and are available to travel worldwide. Dogs are welcome at the wedding, and couples are encouraged to bring them.
