Bright Weddings & Quince photographs and films weddings and quinceañeras in Yakima, WA from $1,200 for photography and $2,200 for photo + video — published prices, travel included, a bilingual family team based on West Yakima Avenue, and a planning meeting with every couple and family before the day.
Yakima is home. Our studio is on West Yakima Avenue, which means we know the light on the Capitol Theatre steps at five in the afternoon, which side of the Yakima Convention Center ballroom photographs cleanest, and how long the drive from a downtown getting-ready room to a Rattlesnake Hills winery really takes on a Saturday in June. A wedding at Gilbert Cellars or a quince at State Fair Park is a day in our own neighborhood, and it shows in how calm we are and how early we arrive.
The Valley celebrates in two languages, and so do we. Quinceañeras run nearly year-round here, with the busiest Saturdays from April through October; weddings cluster in the wineries and the historic hotels downtown. On a quince we know the order of the misa, the entrada with la corte, the vals with dad and la última muñeca before anyone has to explain it. On a wedding we build the timeline with you so family portraits take fifteen minutes, not forty-five, and cocktail hour is not spent waiting for the photographer.
Travel to Yakima is included — it is within an hour of our Yakima studio.

Questions, answered first
WHAT Yakima asks BEFORE THEY BOOK
In Yakima our wedding photography is $1,200, $1,500 or $2,000 (Silver, Gold, Diamond) with travel included; photo + video bundles are $2,200–$3,500. A deposit of $350–$550 reserves the date and the balance splits into three interest-free payments.
The same ladder: $1,200, $1,500 or $2,000 for photography, $2,200–$3,500 with a film. Gold ($1,500) adds the pre-quince session for $100 and a 20-page album for $175 — the session brings the poster with it; most Yakima families choose it and pay $500 three times after the $450 deposit.
Sí — the whole team, on the day, on the phone and in writing. Abuela directs the family photo in Spanish, the friends ask for a retake in English, same photographer.
Always. After you book we reach out to introduce ourselves and confirm your details, then we meet at the studio on West Yakima Avenue, at your venue, or by video to build the timeline and answer everything. Prefer a quick text? Just say so.
Yes. Everything within an hour of the studio — Yakima, Selah, Union Gap, Moxee, Naches, Wapato, Toppenish, Zillah, Sunnyside, Ellensburg — is included in the price. Farther venues show a published band before you book.
A sneak peek within days, the full edited gallery within a few weeks depending on the season, and the highlight film shortly after. Albums ship after you approve the gallery; exact timelines are in your confirmation.
Deposits are $350 for Silver, $450 for Gold and $550 for Diamond, paid online when you book. The balance can be split into three interest-free payments of $400, $500 or $667 depending on your package.
Yes — the same team covers both, which is why the bundle costs less than booking two vendors. Every bundle includes edited photos, a highlight film, an online gallery and print rights; Gold and Diamond add a full-length ceremony edit and a social reel.
Sí. Our team is fully bilingual and this whole site is written in Spanish, not machine-translated. Tu abuela can direct the family photo in Spanish and your friends can ask for a retake in English — same photographer, same smile.
We photograph all of Washington. Travel is included within an hour of Yakima (Ellensburg, Sunnyside, the Lower Valley). Farther venues add a published drive band — $200 for 1–2 hours, $500 for 2–3 (Seattle, Tacoma), $700 for 3–4 (Spokane) — shown before you book, never at checkout.
