Welcome

Welcome to Emett Joseph Photography

Emett Joseph Photography is a husband-and-wife wedding photography team, Emett and Cass, based in Seattle, Washington. They photograph weddings and elopements across the Pacific Northwest and travel further for couples who ask, in a candid, documentary style.

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.

About

Emett Joseph Photography

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.

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.
