I'm Irene Jones, and I have been a Seattle Wedding Photographer since 1999. I love photographing real moments, genuine laughter, and heartfelt tears that turn a wedding into a deeply rich and personal narrative. My experience with people enables me to help couples and their families feel natural in front of the camera so that I can capture everyone at their best.
My work blends authentic moments with dramatic light, vivid colors, and personal stories. Finding someone to share your victories and hold your hand through heartache is a reason to celebrate! I will capture the reality and beauty of your happiness. To accomplish this goal, I try to capture life as it happens during your event.

Irene came recommended to us from another couple that previously worked with her and she surpassed every thing we thought it would be to work together.
Our beautifully imagined July wedding of 75 became unfeasible when the pandemic hit. Irene was the most communicative vendor we were working with. She reached out to us almost immediately and offered us options and support in making the decision to move forward with an intimate elopement.
I am not exaggerating when I say nothing went according to plan. On the day of our elopement Irene was a calming force. Her level of expertise afforded me the

Irene and her husband/assistant traveled with us to Sayulita, Mexico for our 40 person destination wedding. She was beyond amazing, and so was her husband. If you want a team that are up for any adventure, and will go to the ends of the earth to get exactly the right photo, they are it. They were so friendly, professional, flexible, and really became part of the group. My husband and I cannot recommend IJPhoto enough. They will hold a special place in our hearts forever!

If you are still looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! IJ Photo is phenomenal! We met Irene at the Seattle Wedding Show. It was a brief encounter among the many other vendors, but once we were home, we pulled out information on every photographer and checked out their website. We were quickly able to determine what we wanted: well lit and exposed photos with editing that wasn’t overdone and didn’t look like it had instagram-like filters applied to it. IJ Photo stole the show! Irene’s photo quality is excellent. We had an initial meeting with her to go over what we were wanting

I had found IJ photo long before I got engaged and I fell in love with her work. But I somehow lost her info once my husband finally popped the question. I was so thrilled once I found her again through a local Facebook page!! When we met up to go over packages she offered, it was so clear to see the true quality of work she does. And her prices are of TRUE VALUE. she offers many different packages to fit each couples needs/budget. Just meet up with her and you'll see what I mean. We chose a package that came with: an engagement shoot, all day availability for the wedding day, 2nd photographer

I can't recommend Irene highly enough. She is incredible. Professional Personna: You have to be comfortable with your photographer, because they will see everything! I am super awkward meeting people, so when I first met Irene I was my normal anxious self that doesn't always gel with people. But what set her apart from every other photographer I spoke with was that she listened to everything I said I wanted. Our initial meeting was not filled with "look how good I am," it was Irene responding to what I said I was looking for and then showing us examples. She prompted us to ask

Irene was the photographer at our wedding and I cannot praise her enough. After meeting Irene at the Seattle Wedding Expo, my husband and I knew she was going to be the perfect addition to our wedding day. Her portfolio speaks for itself, but her personality is really what won us over. Every interaction with Irene, be it a question or a random request, was always positive. She understood the direction of our wedding and ran with it. She certainly did her homework and met us at our venue to go over the layout and scouted out several beautiful areas around Ballard. The day of the wedding, Irene and

Irene does such beautiful work. We instantly knew from the moment we met her that she would be the best person to capture our wedding day and her team delivered. I have yet to see our video, but from what I have already seen from her photos, I know I won't be disappointed. I don't know how many times over and over again I look at our engagement and wedding photos without getting a little teary-eyed.
The wedding album she gave us went beyond my expectations. We didn't have to do a thing. She picked the perfect photos, laid it our for us, we switched a couple of photos around and

Irene was hired to take pictures of my family.
Irene did a fabulous job as a professional with lighting, staging and assisting us from start to finish. She worked with us to find the right pictures we wanted, made a couple adjustments as requested, and then offered to bring the prints and canvases to our home to hang them for us.
She not only got the kids from toddlers to age 10 to cooperate through the long photo session, she was able to get the difficult adults to as well. Irene uses humor and just genuine kindness when working with those not enthused with getting their photo taken.

We had a wonderful experience with Irene. I know how incredibly difficult it is to capture my one year old daughter on film. Irene managed to give us more than 20 great family and individual photos. My daughter spent and hour "playing" in the studio. She had so much fun, she barely fussed when we changed her outfit (four times) and loved exploring all of the different rooms. I am so happy we chose IJ Photo to celebrate this time in our life.
