We can not recommend Arlene Chambers Photography enough! Every step of the way, from guiding us through the pre-planning, to putting us at ease day-of, to getting us back our sneak...
-peaks almost immediately and full galleries so quickly, we felt cared for and supported by Arlene.
She was accessible to us as we planned and expertly navigated different family structures as we put together our shot-list. She captured the day perfectly and put us at ease in front of the camera. We were stunned by how beautiful the photographs were. She was kind, personable, efficient, and professional throughout our wedding day, capturing moments and ensuring that we stayed in the moment throughout.
Arlene has become our go-to photographer for all our big life moments going forward, and our go-to recommendation to anyone who is looking for their wedding photographer!
We found Arlene through one of our friends who got married, and when we fell in love with their wedding photos, we knew we had to have Arlene as our wedding photographer! She truly...
is amazing and worth every penny. We did an engagement shoot with her, as well as our wedding, and I'm obsessed with all the photos! We were nervous before our engagement shoot because we'd never had professional photos taken before as a couple, but Arlene put all our concerns at ease. She does a fantastic job at directing us for photos and made our session feel so fun. She did a fantastic job capturing our personalities through her photos.
When it came to wedding planning, she was super communicative and thorough. We emphasized for our wedding day that while we want lots of great photos, we were nervous it would feel like a production the day of the wedding and that we wouldn't be able to be in the moment. Arlene helped us have a great balance of taking in all the memories of the day while still being able to fully enjoy and be present. She also did a fantastic job of directing our large families and large wedding party, which is no small feat!
Arlene is truly awesome. We HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely be hiring her again for photos throughout our life together to capture all the wonderful life moments!
Arlene is a long time family friend, I used to babysit her daughters, and she photographed my senior photos! It was a no brainer to have her photograph my wedding day! Arlene's att...
ention to detail, flexibility, way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and extreme talent with a camera are just some reasons why she is simply the best! She made us all laugh. genuinely and captured the special moments of our wedding day. Thank you Arlene for being you and for being a key player in our wedding day.
Love, Hannah and Bob

If I could give Arlene 100 stars I would. Arlene has a keen eye for creativity and captures moments beautifully. She truly is an artist behind the camera. She makes you feel relaxe...
d and natural and is pretty sneaky with her shots and is great at capturing those candid moments too. Arlene will be our photographer for life including babies shots, family photos, anything and everything!
Where do I start?! Arelen's artistry and eye for capturing the moment is awesome. She's talented, friendly, easy to work with, and caught the romance and essence of the day perfe...
ctly. We had rain, we had social distancing we had a compressed timeline, and still she gave us beautiful, gorgeous, award winning photos that we can proudly share and look at for years to come. A feast for the eyes. Thank you, Arlene, for being our wedding photographer!
The most amazing photographer ever!! Super nice and easy to work with, and a fun-high spirited person. Arlene is so incredibly skilled and takes some of the best photos I’ve ever s...
een. She has all the inside tips and tricks when it comes to posing for photos and she knows exactly how to capture all of the moments- both big and small! Her photos go above and beyond normal wedding photos and that’s all thanks to her creative/out of the box ideas where the end result just absolutely blows you away! Arlene pays so much attention to detail and makes sure that everything is in place and that you are always looking your best for your photos. Not only is she a phenomenal photographer, but she also provided great emotional support, wardrobe/hair help, and much needed laughter for this stressed our bride on her wedding day. I love Arlene and you will too! She has a quick turn around time for photos and even sent us a sneak peak of a few pictures the day after our wedding! You will not be disappointed with Arlene Chambers and you will receive the most professional and highest quality photos from her! You can trust Arlene to capture all of the love and feels on your wedding day and give you pictures that you will love and cherish forever!!
You have to hire Arlene Chambers for any of your photography needs! From the moment we met Arlene she was friendly, welcoming, relaxed, fun, and professional. Her attention to deta...
il is impeccable. Arlene will put her life on the line to get the perfect shot. I am not speaking metaphorically, she literally walked into traffic on 1st Ave in Seattle, dodging cars frogger-style, to get the right shot of us in front of our hotel. And that photo was amazing. We have taken photos with another photographer before, and the experience with Arlene was so much better. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the photos just look so natural and are stunning. Arlene has an amazing eye and captured the most important day of our lives perfectly. She doesn’t just capture the perfect individual moments, but she is able to tell a story through her photos. We had such an amazing time working with Arlene and we cannot wait to continue to work with her in the future. We continue to recommend her to all our friends because of her amazing work and we just really want to hang out with her again. Thank you so much Arlene, we absolutely love reliving our wedding day through your photos.
Arlene is incredible to work with. Arlene shot both our engagement photos and wedding photos and words cannot describe how gorgeous they are. Not only does she have an amazing ey...
e for beautiful photos and composition, but she is so fun to work with! She even managed to wrangle our eight groomsmen during photos for several hours on the wedding day. Arlene is the best investment we made into making our wedding day incredible and we would recommend her to anyone for whatever photos you may need.
Arlene Chambers went above and beyond and made sure our wedding day was perfect! She checked in frequently leading up to the wedding and so when the big day arrived, we didn't have...
to do anything! She helped us stay on track and worked as our director to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted.
She made everything super easy and fun and even pulled us away during the reception so we could get those sunset pictures we wanted.
We still can't believe the number of amazing pictures she got and we are still having trouble deciding which ones to frame and print! Not a bad problem to have.
We recommend Arlene to anyone we know for any event and we hope to continue working with her in the future.
Arlene is worth every penny!!! Working with her is easy and fun. She has a natural eye and gets the best shots. I highly recommend her to everyone!
If I could wish one thing for your wedding, it would be the gift of Arlene Chambers!
OH. My. God. She is the B-E-S-T thing that ever happened to our wedding and I will recommend h...
er to everyone I know, for wedding photos, family photos--all of it! Not only is she UBER-talented, so organized and insanely fantastic at her work, she’s hilarious and super fun to be around, we just adore her!
I’ve been in several weddings where the photographer is like a quiet mouse, and taking group shots is awkward and painful. So, I really wanted to find a photographer that was not only amazing at getting beautiful shots, but also funny and outgoing. Someone who my friends would feel at ease with and just be themselves. Arlene is the best of all worlds. Almost our entire wedding party (girls and guys) came up to me throughout the night and the day after the wedding to say how much they liked our photographer. And I thought to myself, “Yup!”
Arlene more than nailed our engagement photos. I couldn’t believe how natural they looked, especially considering how awkward posing for those shoots can be. She caught the perfect in between moments that made the compositions look relaxed and effortless. I don’t know how she does it, but every shot was a winner. Oh and she had them back to us in less than a week. That NEVER happens in real life, in fact, I know many friends who didn’t get their photos back for 6 months! Her wedding photos were equally amazing. We are so, so, so happy with them. She is a true artist, everything about her work is breathtaking and memorable, from the color, to the lighting, to the compositions, all of her photos stand out above the rest. And she goes above and beyond in so many ways. She walked our wedding venue with me beforehand to get a lay of the land, but then also went back on her own time to see how the sunset lighting hit the venue. She sends you little surprises along the way and packages up your photos so beautifully, it feels like Christmas when you get them! She’s a gem! Everyone would be so headache-free and so very stoked with their end product if they hired Arlene!
I cannot express how grateful I was to have Arlene by my side as our photographer during the big day, as well as during our engagement session and a variety of moments in between.....
. she sincerely and genuinely got to know us as a couple, understood what we were looking for, was flexible with the schedule of the day to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and spending time with our loved ones, and most of all, produced AMAZING photos of our big day. I will continue to work with Arlene in the years to come - she's a phenomenal woman and fantastic photographer.
Arlene and Bob Chambers are simply the best of the best. Look at their work. The End. Just kidding!! I could go on and on about how talented and creative Arlene is. She has an inna...
te ability to turn an awkward moment into a work of art. Some of my favorite photos come from when my husband and I were set up in poses that felt totally unnatural. We would just burst out laughing half the time at the awkwardness and how we both thought that there was no way we could actually look good. Arlene was right there to capture the real us. After looking back at the photos of the “awkward” moments it is clear that Arlene can see so much more than the average person can see. Our engagement and wedding photos are such an accurate testament of who my husband and I are as a couple. I would go as far as to say that if you didn’t know us, the photos could tell an accurate story of our personalities, values and our love for each other and everyone around us. This is why I think Arlene is so great at what she does. She walks into a room and makes everyone immediately feel comfortable with her infectious personality and amazing sense of humor. She is real. She is fun. She is kind hearted. She is hilarious. She married Bob, who is also equally awesome. She is an artist. Trust the process and you will not be disappointed in her work. Our wedding day was in early January. It was clear outside, but it was COLD. We did the majority of our photos outside and all I wanted to do was go inside and be warm. I am so glad that I trusted Arlene enough to know that the cold was worth it and that I would not be disappointed in any of her work. Our photos speak for themselves and are worth every penny we paid. Photography is a tremendous investment and I am so glad that we put a premium on it. Photos are the only worthwhile thing you will physically take away from your big day. Yes, that means I recommend spending more on it than you spend on your dress! I feel so honored that we will be able to share Arlene’s work with our family for generations to come. Thank you Arlene and Bob, we are so glad to have you as part of our family.
Amazing!
Arlene and her second shooters are amazing. The entire process from start to finish was handled with such ease and we were pleasantly spoiled with small gifts from her ...
periodically. Our pictures are one of a kind and Arlene has an eye for unique settings that can't be replicated. I will never stop looking at our pictures from our big day and the compliments from friends and family continue to roll in. Thank you Arlene! We were blessed to have you apart of our big day :)
It's hard to find someone you trust completely when planning your wedding with something as imporant as your photos. I did the impossible! Arlene Chambers is the best of the absolu...
te best!! My friends in NYC and LA are both jelous of my photos. She cares, she listens, she remembers things that you say to make sure that she captures the smallest detail you planned. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and out of it, I got an amazing friend. You will love all she does, if you're looking for a photographer, look no more! She is it!
An odd situation where bride and groom outlined the photos they wanted which left a lot of people out. Arlene followed their directions to a T.
We can't express how much we love Arlene! She puts the 'A' in Amazing. Her shots are creative and she works above and beyond to get you some beautiful photos. She is super outgo...
ing, has unfathomable energy and passion for photography, and makes you feel comfortable while shooting. Every session we have with her is fun. We completely admire her eye for beauty, colors, textures, and all around artistic shots. Her and her husband are a strong duo team to have on your wedding day! We can't wait to continue to use her for all our life's events.
I wish that the word "amazing" expressed what I think of Arlene, she is so much more. All her pictures tell a story and I could not be happier with my choice to have her as my pho...
tographer. She is worth every penny and more... I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone that can capture the spirt of their special day.
I absolutely loved working with Arlene and her husband Bob! She has an eye for artistic creativeness and captures each moment beautifully. Every picture she takes is so unique and ...
it is hard to pick your favorites because there are so many. Arlene is super flexible, great communicator and totally works with your budget and needs creating packages that fit your budget best! I was able to have a engagement session as well as all day photography for my wedding. Some photographers charge per hour, Arlene is there with you the whole time! You don't have to worry about asking her what you want, she already knows and will direct you and your groom or bridal party for different pictures! She is so very fun to work with, you instantly feel comfortable with her. Definitely would reccommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! She also does family portraits, newborns, and a variety of bridal photo needs!
We did some serious searching around for our wedding photographer, and went with Arlene Chambers after calling all over and interviewing other photographers. I couldn't have been ...
happier. I wanted to work with someone that would give us all of our pictures on CD and the rights to the images for our own printing, they needed to use touch up software to perfect images, and they needed to be willing to stay the entire day... and all for a reasonable price. Arlene and her husband/business partner, Bob, arrived at 10:30am and stayed until 11:00pm when we left. I had numerous people ask me where I found her as she was so professional, very artistic, creative, and really a lot of fun. I had a HUGE wedding party that needed to be wrangled in for pictures, and she had a way of getting things done in a timely manner and even had names down into the evening. She's great at telling you poses to try and capturing your personalities. I wanted pictures that weren't JC Penny portraits, nor super artistic where you see the background more then you see the people... but instead great pictures of individuals that happen to be in a beautiful setting. My sister has already booked her for her wedding in the spring. Arlene isn't afraid to get dirty, jump into a planter box to capture the right angle, or run around gathering people for great poses. She is a true professional and up and coming photographer. I thank God we found her before she's so popular we couldn't book her. This will be one gal you'll be happy you hired, and even happier that your pictures will be better then any other wedding you've seen! :)
After telling friends all we received in our wedding package for the price we paid, they were all shocked and impressed. You've got to love a professional that is great at what they do and also a pleasure to be around. We are SO thankful to have found Arlene Chambers Photography!
