Expedition Studios is a premier wedding photography business in Lake Stevens, WA. Founder Gary Bazzell will ensure that no precious moment goes uncaptured as you say, "I do."
Your love story deserves to be told in a way that’s as bold, beautiful, and as exciting as the journey you're about to take together. I specialize in capturing weddings that go beyond the ordinary—whether it's saying “I do” on a mountaintop at sunrise, eloping by a glacier lake, or celebrating under the stars in the desert.
With a deep love for natural light, genuine emotion, and the little in-between moments, my goal is to create images that document your day in a way that helps you relive it—every laugh, every tear, every joyful kiss.
If you're planning a wedding that’s a little wild, deeply personal, and full of heart, I’d be honored to help you tell your story.
