WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY in Ellensburg
A wedding photographer in Ellensburg costs $1,200 to $2,000 with Bright Weddings & Quince — $2,200 to $3,500 with a film. Those are the published prices for every couple: a deposit from $350 reserves the date, the balance splits into three interest-free payments, and you meet us before the day.
Ellensburg is forty minutes up the canyon, close enough that travel is included and far enough that the light is different: big sky, the Kittitas Valley opening out, wind that makes a veil do something interesting. Barn and ranch weddings live here, along with the historic downtown, the Kittitas County Fairgrounds during rodeo season and Central Washington University for the couples who met there.
We shoot the valley the way it looks — wide. Portraits happen out where the fields meet the hills, or on the brick downtown as the streetlights come on; the reception can be a barn, the Hal Holmes Center or a backyard in Kittitas. Gold's ten hours suit most Ellensburg weddings; Diamond's two photographers cover the couples getting ready in different towns and both sides of a long ceremony.
Photography is $1,200, $1,500 or $2,000; with a film, $2,200, $2,700 or $3,500, saving $500–$800 over booking video separately. Travel to Ellensburg, Kittitas, Thorp and Cle Elum is included. Deposits start at $350 and the balance splits into three interest-free payments.
Quinceañeras here are growing, and they are bilingual days — we direct the family in Spanish and the friends in English without breaking stride. After you book we reach out, then meet in Ellensburg, at the studio, or by video to plan the day and answer everything. Suncadia and Cle Elum are close enough that most weekends we are already nearby.
Travel to Ellensburg is included — it is within an hour of our Yakima studio.
