Mariah Gentry Photography specializes in offering classically beautiful wedding photography at affordable rates. To book your date, I simply require a signed contract, 50% deposit, and filled out questionnaire. Two beautiful brides that shared the same name and the same incredible love for each other!
Mariah was so amazing! She was so nice and responsive from the beginning. She was very flexible with the hours and was able to work out a schedule that worked out for us. And her prices were very reasonable. The day of the wedding she was super sweet. She has a great eye for good shots and backgrounds.
Light and airy. Natural, bright, and crisp. I love allowing the image to showcase your relationship in the most natural way possible. My goal is to capture everything that goes into your special day - from the way you look at each other, the sweet moments with friends and family, the fun times at your reception, and the smallest details of your decor.

Mariah is absolutely amazing! She was so kind and helpful in the process leading up to the wedding. We had planned to do outdoor photos with our wedding party and immediate families, but it started pouring down rain the night before, and Mariah not only put up with my anxious texts but helped come up with a game plan! Day-of, she surprised us by bring Brennen along as an extra shooter and they both brought the best energy. I could not be happier with how the day went or with my photos from Mariah!

Picking Mariah to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our ceremony and reception! She was the first person I saw when I arrived at the wedding venue, and she was kind, thoughtful, upbeat, and professional the entire time. Mariah was a lifesaver when my husband and I forgot to do our first dance (lol), and instantly brainstormed a new timeline for the rest of the reception. Numerous guests commented specifically how wonderful Mariah was!
Throughout the entire planning process, Mariah was extremely responsive, and it was clear that she understood how important quick

I've been to a few weddings that Mariah has photographed (including my sister's). At my sister's wedding, I appreciated how quickly she put our whole family at ease. We didn't know what we were doing (and I think all felt uncomfortable with getting our pictures taken initially) and she was so kind and knowledgeable. We ended up with beautiful family photos that feel natural and celebratory. My sister and her husband's photos of just the two of them are lovely as well :) I really appreciate Mariah's eye for light, both indoor and outdoor.

Mariah is an incredible photographer and person! Right from when we met, I loved her enthusiasm and positivity, and I knew I would want her with me through my whole wedding day. When the pandemic happened and we had to postpone our wedding, Mariah was incredibly kind and flexible as our plans had to constantly change.
On our wedding day, right from the moment she arrived, Mariah (and Brennen, her husband and second shooter!) leapt into action and helped the morning feel more collected and organized, a big relief when I was feeling frazzled and couldn't leave the makeup chair! They made great use

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Mariah for our wedding photos. We can honestly say our wedding would not have been the same without her. She made everything so easy to plan which we highly appreciated since we had many last-minute adjustments that we needed to make because of COVID. Mariah knew all the best spots to take pictures and the photos turned out to be absolutely stunning. We are so lucky to have beautiful photos and an extremely thoughtful video slide show to cherish forever.

Mariah is a dream to work with! I had contacted numerous photographers in the area when researching a wedding photographer, and I am so glad I chose Mariah. Choosing a wedding photographer is such a significant part of the wedding planning, and it becomes a huge part of the wedding day itself. Mariah stood out to me because of her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. In addition, her wedding packages were easy to understand with no hidden costs and everything is truly an amazing value for the high quality work she provides, not to mention the 2 week turn around for images was

When we first discovered Mariah, we hadn't even decided on our venue or date yet, but we had to reach out as her gorgeous photos and very reasonable prices and packages compared to many other photographers in the Seattle area were very enticing. We can honestly say that booking Mariah was the best decision we made in all of our wedding planning! She helped us decide on our venue before we had even properly booked her, giving insights into all of of our potential options (almost all of which she had photographed weddings at before). Mariah also gave suggestions for a potential videographer, a hair

Mariah is so incredible to work with. She is so kind, quick to respond to any email/request, and her work is truly incredible. She was not only able to capture my husband and I, our wedding party etc, in photos, but the ENTIRE group who attended our wedding. The photos from the dance floor were especially impressive. I have a very large family and Mariah remained cool and collected the entire time, and we are not an easy bunch to work with! She was fantastic with my little cousins, and I had people commenting all night how amazing she was. We received the photos exactly two weeks after as promised

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was one the things I cared most about going into the planning process. Working with Mariah for both engagement and wedding photos was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She is a super responsive communicator, very thoughtful, and had great suggestions for different points in the process (i.e. putting together outfits for engagement photos that will look nice on film). The turnaround on getting our photos back was also so impressive (just shy of 2 weeks), but clearly nothing was sacrificed in terms of quality. On the day of the wedding, Mairah made

Mariah is absolutely incredible. She was not only very responsive and organized but she made us feel Like she was our best friend photographing our wedding. Her sweet demeanor put us at ease and she was ready to find and capture any small heartwarming moment. She had a creative eye to capture all the little details along with the big celebrations. Mariah went above and beyond in the way that she helped guide us in our wedding day in a non intrusive way and we couldn't be more grateful for it. One of the best parts about it is that she seemed just as excited as anyone else was about our wedding

I am not quite sure how my husband and I will be able covey just how wonderful Mariah is but we are surely going to try!! Mariah made us both feel confident, comfortable and at ease. From my initial email to her, to the day of our wedding... she was organized, punctual, professional and caring. I had many wedding goers approach me to tell me just how wonderful she was. She exudes happiness and it is apparent to all that see her in action that she truly loves what she does. I would recommend Mariah to my friends and family without hesitation!

I have nothing but great things to say about Mariah, just as all the other reviews indicate. Mariah photographed our wedding 2 weeks ago. We just got back from our honeymoon to a full set of edited photos (as promised), plus extras and a slideshow!!
While the quality of the photos is outstanding, what truly sets Mariah apart is her personality. She is perhaps the warmest, friendliest person I've ever met...and was fantastic and easy to work with. She coordinated well with our other vendors, including helping sew up the timeline with our day-of coordinator to accommodate several tweaks

When Mariah worked as our photographer for our wedding, we were completely blown away by her enthusiasm, professionalism, quality of work, and spirit!! Her energy was unbelievable as she would hurry to make sure she captured the night's most special moments! She would give us words of encouragement when she could tell we were stressed and made sure nobody had clothing flaws before she took the photos. The quality of her photos are beyond beautiful. Everything exceeded my expectations by far!! Thank you, Mariah!

I worked with Mariah with many weddings and knew exactly who to trust with capturing branding photos for SWAY Events! She is magic!!! Not only does her amazing personality shine through and can calm anyone, she genuinely cares about creating a fun experience. We started the shoot scared of the camera and ended with being ready for the next shoot!! Priceless!!! Couldn't give enough kudos to one outstanding photographer!!!

Mariah is simply wonderful! We hired her to do a family photography session. On the day of the shoot, we had several negatives going for us even before we even met up with Mariah: we were stuck in traffic and late arriving, our baby was pretty grumpy since it was getting closer to his bed time, and of course we brought our two dogs who decided that they did not want to listen to anyone (at least that part, we saw coming). I was thinking we'd be lucky to get one or two good photos considering how difficult our little family was being during the shoot. We got the photos about a week later and

Mariah is one of the most amazing people we have ever met. She is so genuine, sweet, and hard working. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. She was on time, professional and really went above and beyond to make us feel beautiful. She would help us with poses, fix our posture, fix any flyaways, and make people feel comfortable in front of the camera! Our guests raved about her and how sweet she was, and we will not hesitate to go back to her in the future for any photography needs :) She was also extremely helpful

If it was possible to give more than five stars I definitely would. Mariah and her assistant were amazing at creating an incredible photography experience the day of our wedding. Knowledgeable, friendly, experienced, and a way of bringing out the best in our pictures during our happy day.
She made great suggestions and helped come up with alternate plans when our outdoor location started to rain.
I highly, highly recommend her for your event.

Mariah is so wonderful to work with. Kind, knowledgeable and the utmost professional. I normally don't like having my picture taken - she did a great job talking us through the photo shoot and kept me and my new husband calm, cool and collected...and we had a lot of fun!

This is my 2nd time working with Mariah and my experience with her has only gotten better! She took pictures of my son and nieces this week and she was such a pleasure to work with. She was extremely patient and my son and nieces just took to her instantly. I'm already planning another shoot in Spring with Mariah! What's so great is that you already know the pictures she's going to take are going to turn out amazing so - she also edits a ton of pictures too. Not only did I LOVE all the pictures she took, she also provided a very sweet slideshow of all the pictures! It was actually

Mariah did a family photo session with us. We wanted to capture my 13 month old daughter being herself and get some nice shots of the three of us together. Mariah was fabulous! She was patient, attentive to detail (making sure we had no crumbs, dust, etc. on our clothes), and lovely to spend time with. The results were spectacular. She made all of us look amazing and she captured those little details I wanted - my daughter's little hands and feet, her great expressions, and the beautiful fall colors. I didn't think I'd be into professional family photo shoots, but decided to give

Mariah Gentry is such a joy to work with. I am so happy I hired her to do my elopement wedding photography! From the get-go, she was responsive and prompt, and it was obvious she was experienced and very much in-the-know regarding shoot locations around the Seattle area. I immediately felt like I was in good hands.
On the day of our wedding, she came a few minutes earlier than planned, which made me a little nervous because there was not a whole lot to capture yet, but she was so energetic and positive that I had such a great time chatting with her. She made me and my husband feel gorgeous, she

There are good photographers and great ones and let me say Mariah is one of the great ones!

During the reception she was great at just being in the right spot to capture authentic photos!

Mariah! Let me first start off by saying that my entire bridal party, our guests, along with my husband and myself were all just obsessed with Mariah. She gives off such a fun and energetic energy and seems genuinely happy to be there sharing in your special day. She made all of us feel so comfortable and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Not only is she just an amazing person, she also takes UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL photos. No lie, she sent us the digital files (after TWO WEEKS btw), I opened them and immediately started crying! They were simply breathtaking! I am still just in awe when I look

We used to torture ourselves and go to JCP for a family studio photo shoot. They were so hit and miss, sometimes late, sometimes on time, sometimes decent sometimes poor, and even on a sunny day they were inside, which was somehow depressing, like a baseball game at the Kingdome.
In contrast, Mariah is great. She met us a Bothell Landing for outdoor family photos. She was on time, super-friendly/positive, good with kids, and knows how to frame great shots. My family isn't easy to get all on the same page for photos but she did really well.
She also lets you keep a bunch of the originals
