Sonia is a seriously fantastic photographer. She made my daughter and I so comfortable during our "Mommy & Me" photoshoot and I am absolutely in love with our photographs. I WILL be booking with them again and cannot wait! Fantastic Job!

My wife and I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. Stephen and Sonia are the perfect combination of professional and creative. They managed our family and guests, and the process of taking the traditional photos, with an unparalleled ability only developed over many years of experience. They worked as a team and complimented each other's photo styles. Our pictures are amazing and we will always be grateful of the money spent. Thank you two! There is no better local option if you live in the Olympia/Tacoma/Seattle area (and I hear they travel too).

I found Stephen and Sonia almost accidentally while researching for a reasonably priced, good quality wedding photographer. I was amazed by the navigability of their website, the quality of their gallery, and a price that got not one, but two stellar professionals (not just one great person w a mediocre second-shooter), as well as a very fair number of hours, photos, and not too much a la carte/expensive add-ups.
It was pretty cool to see that they were Christians too, unafraid to say so on the web. And local was nice too. Working with them was super. The best/quickest interactions I could have asked for leading up to the wedding. Super professional, kind, personable on the day of. And we love the results so much! They've got it all! 11/10 would recommend.

I used Stephen and Sonia with About The Day Photography for my wedding and I am so pleased with my photos. I was married almost 6 years ago and I am still so pleased with how my photos turned out. Working with Stephen and Sonia was easy and they calmed my nerves the day of my wedding. Since I was a bit slow before the wedding they made sure to pull me and my husband aside towards the end of the reception to get a few additional shots of the two of us and they were stunning.
They got some really cool shots with my veil in the sunlight. Also, they made my brown eyes pop.it's not every day my eyes pop in a picture. Glad they did on my wedding day. I definitely recommend using them.they were affordable for stunning photos. Plus you get to own all your photos. Not all photographers offer that.be sure you get a photographer that will offer that.
