I am a Seattle based portrait and wedding photographer with nearly 20 years in business, and I love nothing more than a PNW or destination wedding. My theory on photographing people (and in life!) is - HAVE FUN! When you are having a great time, you'll soon forget you are in front of the camera, giving me the opportunity to capture you in your happiest times!
I chose a photo from my wedding as the photo to show you who I am, because this was the MOST FUN WEEKEND I've had. Having had our wedding so recently, I have a whole new feeling and outlook on what is important to be captured in the images of your day. It isn't about getting the "perfect" shot. Oh hey there!

I've worked with Barbie both professionally and personally. She is thoughtful, fun and crazy talented. I love working with her and her team! She is also a miracle worker, getting all of my children to look at the camera at the same time...with smiles!

My husband and I had the most wonderful experience with Barbie (and company). She has exceptional attention to detail regarding what she offers, the presentation of pictures, the book, etc. I am not a person that likes attention on myself and she made me, my family and husband feel so comfortable. I am beyond grateful that I have the most beautiful pictures to look at and to help me remember one of the best days of my life. I cannot recommend Barbie Hull enough!!

Amazing photos and wonderful to work with!!
We cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Barbie on our wedding day. From the first pictures we saw of her work - we knew our wedding memories were in good hands. Her photographs of our wedding are intimate, unique and absolutely beautiful. She walked us through all of our shots and made the whole process and day enjoyable for everyone. Even though it was raining through half of the day, he took advantage of every moment to get beautiful shots that never would have been possible on a sunny day. Our friends and family absolutely

My photographer, my friend. Barbie is a dream!!!!! She made posing for all of the awkward family wedding photos seem natural. I laughed the entire day! Her and Chris went the extra mile and made sure that we were comfortable and having fun from start to finish. Most people I meet tell me it takes months to get the photos back from their weddings....not with Barbie Hull!!! It was incredibly quick! We LOVE this gal!

Barbie is such an incredible photographer and some how she is an even better person! I feel very uncomfortable in front of the camera and this lady knows how to bring out the best in me. When you meet her you will understand.... she is hilarious and full of all kinds of fun facts. Her photographs are a reflection of all her talents and passion for loving what she does. I can't say enough good things. Hire this woman as fast as you can!!!!

I have worked with Barbie Hull Photography numerous times over the past ten plus years and every time I refer my clients to Barbie I know they are going to have a good time and receive photos to treasure for a lifetime! Barbie loves what she does and it shows through her photos and excitement for each and every wedding, birthday or corporate event. Her images capture the spirit of the day as well as the details which I treasure. Barbie Hull is also one caring person and finds any opportunity to give back. She is a co-founder of Get Hitched Give Hope which allows brides & grooms to get gorgeous

If you want to enjoy your experience being photographed, laugh a lot and also get some amazing photographs, then Barbie is your girl. She's the sweetest and the funniest, and loves to just have a good time which in turn creates an atmosphere that you can relax and enjoy yourself and in turn get amazing photos of you looking like you

Barbie has never delivered anything but phenomenal images for my business. She has an amazing way at capturing light and getting clients to look natural! She is a ball to be around and incredibly professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have fun and look great in front of the camera!

It's no secret- I'm a photographer too and hate getting my picture taken. I asked Barbie to photograph me for a very special series of commercial portrait images, and not only did we have THE FUNNEST time, but the images were absolutely wonderful: technically, aesthetically, AND artistically. She helped me to quickly get over my nervousness, which is KEY to being a portrait photographer (thanks Barbie!). She's provided me with a dynamic set of images that really illustrate my brand and personality, and I'm proud to plaster them all over the internet :). She rocks!

We hired Barbie to shoot our engagement, rehearsal dinner and wedding and she is a dream come true! She has an amazing perspective and is tons of fun! She is way more than just a "photographer". Barbie was there for all of our needs and helped us tremendously! If you're looking for a wicked-talented, super fun, all around awesome photographer, Barbie is your gal! Worth every penny and then some!

Barbie's bubbly personality is reflected in each photo. An outstanding photographer who sets her clients at ease on one of the most stressful days of their life. Barbie photographed our wedding on an Argosy Cruise for 4 hours. She is very talented and an absolute joy to work with. Hands down, the best decision for a photographer!

Fabulous, fabulous pictures!! I know enough about photography to know how hard it is to get great candids of individuals, small groups, and large groups, and Barbie does all 3 incredibly well. Artistic, crisp, amazing. I live and work in Boston and our company needed a photographer in Seattle so we were put in touch with Barbie, and I am SO grateful to her for the pictures she captured of our event. Our event was a business gathering but I imagine her pictures of weddings would be equally, if not more, spectacular. Barbie, thank you!!!

We recently hired Barbie to shoot our wedding up in Seattle (we live in SF, but are native Seattleites) and could not have been happier with our choice. When we looked for vendors for the big day, we wanted to work with people we felt comfortable with. Particularly because the two of us are totes awkward in front of a camera.
Barbie was the PERFECT person for this. Not only where the pictures beautiful, but she was so wonderful to work with. She is hilarious which helped in keeping things light and fun. And she has a great reputation among the other Seattle wedding vendors. Everyone we talked to

Just another top review for the wonderful Barbie Hull! She recently did our wedding this summer, as well as the engagement photos the fall before. And even though my husband and myself are not naturally photogenic - you can't tell that from the pictures! Barbie is light and fun to have around throughout the whole day and really captures great candid moments as well as all the requisite formal pictures. If you're the bride, she'll fit right in with your gal pals.
When selecting a photographer I was pretty nervous, because I knew that these pictures were going to be the one lasting

As a Wedding Professional myself I have seen the importance of hiring top quality individuals to make your day the best it can be. Barbie consistently delivers the best service and photos which capture the essence of your wedding so you can always have your special day with you. Thank you for being a quality person and professional.

Barbie is the BEST! She has great energy and makes you feel relaxed and comfy.
I saw that she had awesome reviews everywhere so I booked her for our engagement session and we were so impressed! Plus, she gives great advice and has tons of great tips if you're planning a wedding.
We can't wait to have her shoot our wedding this June!

Barbie Hull Rocks!
My husband and I had the great fortune of working with two fabulous photographers the day of our wedding, and Barbie was an outstanding part of that equation.
We immediately felt at ease with Barbie. Her amazing eye for detail, willingness to go the extra mile (hauling my train and flowers over a very wobbly deck to be sure we got the picture we wanted) and easy sense of humor made her an absolute delight.
We spent some of the best moments of the wedding under the fireworks with Barbie by our side. Barbie's ability to be present and available when you need her coupled

I recently had family photos and head shots taken by Barbie. We had a great experience (she is wonderful with children) and she made us completely comfortable. She knew of my phobia about having my head shot taken and it didn't phase her at all. I was almost afraid to tell her that i was self conscious for fear she may act differently...but she completely understood and made me feel comfortable and used humor to get me through it.
My husband and son had a great time during the photo shoot as well and she captured some beautiful moments of my family that we will treasure.
thank you Barbie
