Bright Weddings & Quince photographs and films weddings and quinceañeras in Ellensburg, WA from $1,200 for photography and $2,200 for photo + video — travel included (it is forty minutes from our Yakima studio), published prices, a bilingual family team, and a planning meeting 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.
Travel to Ellensburg is included — it is within an hour of our Yakima studio.
Where we shoot in Ellensburg
We photograph at the Kittitas County Fairgrounds, the Hal Holmes Center, Central Washington University, the historic downtown and the barns and ranches of the Kittitas Valley — and Suncadia when the day is in Cle Elum.

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.
