From Adina:
I want my work to have heart and style without sacrificing substance or genuine moments. I strive to create beautiful, honest and timeless images, and deliver a mix of finely curated details as well as real, joyful, unexpected moments. I want my photos to resonate 50 years from now. I've honed an ability to work in any environment and location—from sunny beach wedding portraits, to a top of the mountain snowy event. No matter the location or circumstance, I'm in-tune with how to best capture portraits and details that feel authentic and bring out the unique beauty and personality of each subject.
Working with Adina and the team:
Our couples adore the real, candid moments we catch — those heartwarming, happy tears, and stolen glances that turn into your favorite photos ever. 🥰 We are fantastic at creating those family heirlooms, in form of one-of-a-kind gorgeous, high quality albums, making your memories last for generations.
Our style is editorial, modern, vibrant - and we aim to exceed expectations, not meet them. We strive to be transparent and set clear expectations, and an enriched and positive stress-free experience that we are proud to offer our couples. We work closely with our brides and grooms, to ensure we understand their wedding day vision.

Adina was stellar from the initial communication to everything post wedding. She’s honestly what you dream of when you think about a wedding photographer - Great and timely communication, prompt and professional on the big day, kind and personable, phenomenal behind the lens…. I could go on and on (and on.)
I was nervous planning a wedding but the moment Adina sent over her packet with details on what to expect when planning I felt at ease. She has a keen understanding of what a wedding day should flow like and best practices as you establish your timeline, and that is critical when you are thinking through your vision of the day. Her knowledge helps you craft the perfect flow for the day and assures you up front she will capture every one of those moments.
Adina is professional in the way she runs her business from an administration perspective to the way she works your event. She was so prompt with providing her very thorough planning guide after the initial consultation and had a clear, concise contract for execution that identified every add-on you may want (second shooter, engagement session etc.) with pricing that you didn’t have to read between the lines with. A wedding photographer should be one of your biggest investments of your big day, and having one that provides you in writing everything they’re committing to gives you such relief up front.
We’ve all seen people who hire the wrong photographer who maybe showed up late, missed key shots, didn’t communicate well enough to understand your personal vision or just ended up in some degree of a let-down on the wedding day. Adina has built a business that you can rely on and feel 100% confident in hiring from the get-go. Her professionalism extends beyond the administration side of hiring a vendor though. Her communication is stellar and her follow through is admirable. Adina guided us in our decisions along the way, asked pointed questions to fill in the gaps when we didn’t know quite how to answer a question that was a critical piece of her planning your event with you and was ALWAYS available when we needed to understand any part of the planning process.
The day of the wedding she showed up early, dressed to do her job but looking like the professional she is. She came in and got right to business. She asked a few questions to make sure she was going to start with the detail shots she needed while we began getting ready and she was off. She knows in her mind what shots she needs and really helped us follow a schedule that allowed her to do that and made sense in the natural flow of the process. She’s such a seasoned professional and it’s so comforting to lean on her expertise on such a chaotic day. Her eye to frame a shot, her passion for what she does, the style of her photography - she’s literally everything we wanted in a wedding photographer and got.
We ended the night feeling so thankful that we hired her, and genuinely felt like she was a friend at our wedding and not a hired vendor. This woman works her tail off for you and has got to be wiped at the end of the event; you’ve never seen a photographer work harder.
Adina is absolutely amazing and if you need a truly seasoned, professional photographer that you can trust with your momentous day, you need to hire her immediately. There is not a thing I would change about our experience with her and we feel so grateful that we found her. Remember that your photographs are what you have for years to come after your special day whizzes by. Having a dedicated, knowledgeable professional gives you peace building up to your event and having a talented, thorough photographer creates the memory that live on your walls for all the years to come. Hire the person that creates those memories for you and captures you at your very best. Adina is that person.
Adina was the absolute BEST!! Looking back at the photos makes me so happy, she perfectly captured the day. We are beyond impressed with her work. We would recommend to anyone and everyone!!
I had the pleasure of first meeting Adina at a wedding ceremony where we were both independently booked before I became one of her clients. I’m a musician specializing in live acoustic guitar and Spanish-style guitar music for weddings and events.
I was hired to perform live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and Adina was booked to take photos of everything. Right away, I could tell from watching her work and interact with everyone that she was on another level compared to other photographers I had worked with at previous events. She brought great energy and enthusiasm that rubbed off on everyone she interacted with. Everyone had a blast, and I went home thinking I would love to work with her at some point, especially after checking out her finished product online. I was blown away, and when it came time for me to up my business game with high-quality photos for my website and social media, it was a no-brainer that I would call Adina.
While working together to get photos for my business, Adina took the time to understand my full vision and had tons of great ideas and shot locations. Before the shoot date, we had already worked together on compiling a vision board with inspiration ideas, so when it came to the big day, Adina made sure everything was already worked out and seamless. She recommended I bring a few different outfits, and we hit some really cool locations so I would have lots of variations, giving me the ability to use the photos for various purposes in the future.
Even though Adina had organized everything ahead of time, that didn’t stop her from finding some amazing, out-of-the-box, on-the-spot ideas that only a true artist with a vision could come up with. As a result of this, Adina was able to capture a one-in-a-million shot that I have to mention. We had just finished up a full day of shooting, and I was like, "Hey Adina, I think I'm good, let's go get some lunch now," and she was like, "Wait, I have an idea. Go walk over there by those birds real quick." So, I took a quick stroll by them with my guitar in hand, and they all flew up. In like 30 seconds, she captured the most incredible shot (I’ll post the pic below). She showed me on her camera, and I was blown away—even on the smaller screen of the camera, you could tell it was really something special!
On top of that, she took so many amazing pictures that I now use for my website and Instagram account. I have even experienced higher-quality leads and new clients as a result of Adina’s images. I will definitely be working with Adina again the next time I need amazing pictures! Thank you, Adina!
Any questions?
Adina and her team captured my engagement and my wedding and WOW! Words cannot describe how fantastic and a joy she was to work with. Her work is absolutely stunning. I don't think there is a bad shot in the package of pictures. I will book with her in the future if I ever need a photoshoot or any other event captured.
Adina is an extremely talented photographer. She’s very reliable, kind and professional. She will capture all those important moments of your wedding or special occasion. She is very easy to communicate with and I highly recommend her.
Adina, our wedding photographer, was absolutely fantastic! We highly recommend her services. Without a wedding planner, she guided us early on in developing a timeline. Adina's super fun personality made our entire wedding day enjoyable. She was responsive, met with us multiple times, and truly understood our desires. Her bright and cheery photos were exactly what we wanted. Choosing Adina was a decision we'd make over and over again. Grateful for her role in making our day special!
Adina not only created amazing-looking lasting memories from our big day, but she was also the most responsive, thorough, and fun vendor we hired! She made us feel extremely comfortable during our shots, and all of our guests even loved her presence! I would 100% hire her again and would recommend her to any couple looking for an all-around great photographer for their big day.
Adina was AMAZING!!! She truly was our ringleader for our wedding and got the most amazing shots. We couldn’t have been happier and would choose her again in a heartbeat.
We are so happy that Adina captured our wedding day so beautifully! Our album has the perfect balance of posed and candid photographs. She has a strong eye for the details, is professional, and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Adina is such a pleasure to work with. She makes the bride and groom feel at ease and allows them to enjoy the process of taking wedding photos. She is both professional and flexible which makes her a great asset to any wedding vendor team.
Adina is so incredibly talented, kind, hard working, and amazing to work with! I 100% recommended her to shoot your wedding you will not regret your decision! Her photos are so elegant and classy, you can tell she loves what she does!
I would 100000% recommend Adina for any wedding or photography needs. Not only did all our wedding photos turn out beautiful and amazing but she truly made our wedding better being a part of it. Not only did we as a couple enjoy working with her but all of our guests raved about how much they enjoyed talking with her and their experience. Her professionalism and willingness to cater to our requests was above and beyond! Our wedding venue was close to the beach but not on the beach and we really wanted to get a few post ceremony photos on the beach at sunset and she did not hesitate to do that for us. She went to the beach during cocktail hour to get those! Adina had a perfect balance between the formal and traditional wedding shots mixed with some beautiful artistic shots that I was looking for! We had so much fun working with her and I could not have asked for a better person to be our photographer!!

Thank you sooo much, Macy and Adam! It was so wonderful being with you on your wedding day, and I felt welcomed and amongst friends. You, and your family and friends were absolutely amazing! Hugs to everyone! ❤️
Adina was amazing! She was so much fun to work with in our wedding day. She was passionate, detail oriented, professional, and so on top of everything. Our wedding was December 3, we had our photos right before Christmas!! She knew exactly what she was doing and worked well with our videographer. Our photos all turned out so beautiful. I couldn’t recommend her more and my husband and I are so thrilled we chose her as our photographer!!

Eldonna and Micah, what a true honor it is to photograph your wedding and at such a beautiful location - The Island Hotel in Fort Walton Beach. Your family and guests were so welcoming, and you were just meant for each other! I wish you nothing...
but the best! I hope we keep in touch! ❤️
Adina has worked numerous weddings at our venue, the Springhill Suites on Navarre Beach.
We had the pleasure of Adina being our photographer for our Bridal Planner Brunch event. We had a great time collaborating on the showcasing of our venue.
She is so attentive to her clients, always on time, professional and will capture your unique event with the utmost quality photos.
Response from the Vendor on 12/27/2022
Mika, thank you so much! It's always a pleasure and a great time to photograph at SpringHill Suites in Navarre! Your staff and vendor team is always a dream to work with! Can't wait for the next time!! :)
This woman is a Rockstar!! If you don't hire her you're crazy!!! She's a lifesaver, she's kind, and professional and she knows how to get the job done!!! I was having a horrible experience with my wedding coordinator and if it wasn't for Adina and others I don't know what I would've done. It was cold, and raining, and I was a lost bride. Adina stepped up and rocked out!!! She made sure I was taken care of and made sure I got the wedding I dreamed of regardless of the weather conditions and hiccups along the way. I couldn't have imagined my perfect day without her! I can't wait to see my pictures because I know they will be out of this world! I can not say enough good about this woman!! HIRE HER!!!

Alexis and Jason, Thank You from the bottom of my heart for your kind words. I enjoyed spending time with you so much, and I loved helping out! Good luck in your new journey as husband and wife! -Adina
We hired Adina pre-covid. We had to move our wedding twice due to the covid. The first reschedule, Adina told us that she could not make it to on the new date. She gave us two options, move our date to a day when she was in town, or have her other photographer Jared, shoot our wedding. She told us his wife will be his assistant photographer and we accepted the first alternate photographers. She made us sign a rescheduling addendum to our contract that stated that once payments are made, they are non-refundable. This was fine with us as long as the replacement photographers stayed the same and nothing in the contract was changed without our consent.
Here's where the issue begins. Our wedding had to get rescheduled again to April 2022, due to Covid. Jared moved to Florida in December of 2021 and can no longer shoot our wedding with his wife. Adina does not tell us until February of 2022 (2 months away from wedding). She tells us she had to call her friend Garrett to now shoot our wedding and "it will only be him". So we are less than 2 months away and got handed off to another photographer who is shooting the wedding himself (we paid for 2 photographers). We were offered a $500 album credit. We thanked her for trying to fix the situation, but we ultimately declined and requested a refund on February 10. She called us and offered a second photographer. But at this point, we felt like we were getting passed off to any third-party photographer she could hire (we paid Adina's high prices, we would want her to shoot the wedding). We kept requesting a refund, but she insisted we meet the photographer online for a chat. We did not accept the new photographer but agreed to the meeting which was scheduled on March 6 (within 30 days from the wedding). We agreed to meet because we felt trapped and that we could not hire anyone else this close to the wedding date. Prior to this meeting (however, within 30 days of the wedding) we managed to find a photographer to shoot our wedding and told Adina that we no longer want to meet the new photographer. She sends us the first email in a string of emails saying: Adina: "I am confirming that we have 2 photographers ready to photograph your wedding on April 2, 2022, as agreed. Let me know if anything needs to change." Me: "I did not agree to anything. I did not agree to accept using Garrett as our photographer either. Nor did I accept your “$500 credit towards a wedding album.” Then, the next day she starts emailing my wife instead (who was currently admitted in the hospital): Adina: "Subsequent to our last conversation on February 10, 2022, we have two photographers retained to deliver your package. If you would like to cancel these services I need to know. Otherwise we plan to be there." Me: "There is nothing to cancel as nothing was agreed upon. We do not accept the replacement photographers. Because of the late notice we also had to secure another photographer for the wedding. " Adina: "I will consider this a cancellation of services within 30 days of the event date. And as such, you are not entitled to a refund as per the contract. I wish you the best of luck!" She is however right that we officially “cancelled” within the 30 days of the wedding. However, she would NOT accept our cancellation/refund request multiple times prior to that and kept extending the decision until we meet the photographer which was within the 30 days already. Only after within the 30 day window did she acknowledge it.

Mark, it is truly unfortunate that Covid affected so many brides and grooms, along with small businesses like mine the way that it did. And as we all worked through this crazy time, I tried my best to help each and every couple struggling find ...
some sort of normalcy and joy by being there for them and fulfill our agreements. It is my wish that you and Amy have a long and happy life together; and while it pains me to see your review, I will take some solace in the fact that I know you both were extremely satisfied with the time we did spend together throughout our 3 year process, and the beautiful images we were able to capture during your time extended engagement in Seattle.
All the best,
Adina
Adina was phenomenal, I'm so glad we choose her to photograph our special day. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day she was amazing. Her and Max made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time while being photographed. I don't have the words to emphasize how amazing they were. I would recommend Adina and her team to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding.

Devan, Thank you so much! It was so nice spending time with you and your families at your beautiful wedding, and I hope we keep in touch! Love, Adina
I helped my friend organize an intimate wedding in a short time frame due to sensitive family circumstances, and we were so thankful that we were able to connect with Adina! She was responsive, flexible, kind, and made everyone feel at ease. Her portfolio is gorgeous, and my friend's pictures will be cherished forever!
Adina was so much fun to work with throughout the entire wedding process. She was flexible with my husband and I through covid and made sure we were comfortable and understood the plan for photos before our wedding day. Adina is easy to get along with and easy to talk to. We hope to book her again to document our next milestone :)
Adina is the BEST! From the moment I started corresponding with her about our wedding date I knew she would be great. She arrived at our venue and immediately started working her magic. She captured our entire day and moments I didn’t even know she had captured that I loved seeing pictures of. I gave her free reign to take whatever pictures she thought we should have. She really went above and beyond with her photography and not to mention she is just awesome and so sweet. We had our pictures so fast and I couldn’t love them more. She is so professional and fun. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their special day to be captured.
Adina did an amazing job! We are so incredibly grateful for the beautiful photos she captured of our special day. She showed up on time, was very professional and immediately began working her magic. She kept communication from the moment we booked her 5 months out to the wedding day. Our day was preserved in unforgettable and beautiful photos. She was well worth the money and we highly recommend Adina!
Adina was absolutely amazing!!! My daughter and her husband-to-be were immediately comfortable with Adina and really loved her ideas and guidance ... and all of that comes through in the pictures. Adina arrived on time and immediately started assessing what locations would be best for pictures, etc. ... and it wasn't easy because the wedding was at our home rather than a well-designed wedding venue ... but she made it all work and captured amazing views and details! I would HIGHLY recommend Adina ... she is so incredibly talented and personable!
Adina is an amazing person and an awesome photographer. Between her quick communication, to her professional attitude, to being relatable, friendly, and kind, she made our photography experience amazing.
Adina puts alot of thought behind her shots, her composition, and editing, and provides a clean look without over-editing and removing the character from the shots. She is super creative with using the surroundings in her shots, and we got a ton of fun, serious, and amazing shots to look at forever.
She is super attentive and detailed, and provides a ton of details for both the bride and groom - information that helped us plan and get ready to work with her, and made our day of breeze by easily.
I cannot stress enough how great working with Adina has been!
Adina did our engagement session and our wedding pictures and she did an amazing job! She was always very prompt to respond, had lots of advice when I asked for help, and is very professional. She has a great personality though that makes it easy to smile for pictures and have her around for your big day. I loved having her there and was able to trust that she knew what she was doing. Being able to relax and know she was taking care of all the great pictures was awesome! She has a great eye for unique picture moments and can get anyone to smile. She is a natural and very good at her job. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding pictures or any pictures you may need!
Adina is a phenomenal and professional photographer, my husband and I recommend her to everyone who needs a wedding photographer.
We met with several different photographers and Adina was by far the best - she had the best portfolio, was most professional and easy to chat with. She's communicative and flexible. And she's great at directing you to get the best photos! Can't recommend her enough.
Adina was fantastic to work with. She was more than patient with us even though we're probably a little awkward and not used to being photographed as a couple. During the big day, Adina and J were responsive and reacted quickly to changing circumstances, definitely making our job much easier. The resulting photos are beautiful, and we especially like the fact that we can download them at will (unlike many other photographers). We highly recommend Adina. You won't be disappointed!
Adina and her team are extraordinary photographers! We’ve worked with Adina for family portraits in the past, and when we decided to have our wedding in the Seattle area, we knew exactly who we’d ask to photograph our special day.
She was extremely collaborative throughout the planning process, helping us work through shot lists, visiting our location prior to the event to make sure she was familiar with it, etc. We did our engagement shoot a week before the wedding which was extremely helpful to warm us up for the Big Day (we did not need the images for our save the dates which is why we discussed waiting and Adina agreed it was a great idea).
Adina and her team arrived for our wedding day early and excited to get going. They were professional, fun and got everyone comfortable and happy in front of the camera.
The team took SO many pictures, and Adina did an incredible job making sure everything was captured. We didn’t have a traditional wedding party, only kids, and she and the team captured these cuties perfectly (including our fur baby!!) The day went by in a blink, and now we have so many amazing images to relive the best day of our lives (so far!)
We will continue to work with Adina and her team for other events and family moments. HIGHLY recommend her company for your wedding, engagement or any professional photography needs.
Adina (and team) are absolutely amazing from start to finish, and by far the best wedding investment we made! Adina was so fun to work with, and made us feel at ease while being photographed. Her work is fantastic - we LOVED all the photos she took, and the access gallery she provides is user friendly and very organized! Adina was very responsive throughout the entire process and was available to answer any and all questions I had - including questions about the timeline, and even what make-up is best for pictures!! You will NOT regret booking Adina as your wedding and/or engagement photographer! :)
We absolutely loved working with Adina! Her photos speak for themselves - we have amazing shots from our engagement session, getting ready pre-wedding, ceremony, and reception. She is wonderful at capturing the moment and feeling. Our dog is a big our of life and we were impressed with how well she was able to wrangle big families and get great shots of everyone, including the dog!
Outside of just the pictures, Adina is a delight to work with. She had great advice and shared wedding wisdom with us in the very early stages of our planning. She's a wedding pro and day of jumped in to help the men figure out how to put on boutineers, pose everyone for the best shot, and help keep everyone calm and happy :)
If we were to go back and do the whole thing again, we'd definitely stick with Adina Preston as our photographer
I am SO LUCKY to have found Adina! We spoke over the phone and after each conversation, I knew that she was exactly the photographer for us. Not only does she shoot GORGEOUS photos-- she is extremely well prepared and knowledgeable of the craft. This is something that is very hard to find and what truly makes a photographer great. Our wedding photos were fantastic and I couldn't have been more pleased. We also received our edited bundle shortly after, which brought tears to my eyes after viewing. Adina-- thank you for being part of our special day and an even bigger thanks for capturing all the memories. We will cherish these photos forever. Katherine & Robin, Orcas Island, WA wedding.
Adina was awesome to work with! We are obsessed with our engagement shots and wedding pics! She was easy to connect with and always met us at our convenience. She was a natural when it came to shots and gave us great ideas for poses. We have already recommended her to friends!
Adina is an incredible photographer. We worked with her for our engagement and wedding photos and could not be happier. She really captured our personalities well and even took the time for silly candid photos. She knew all the best places in Seattle with the right lighting for the time of day. We highly recommend Adina to anybody looking for a competent, stylish, and fun photographer.
Adina is so professional AND fun!!! I felt so secure as the bride knowing that from the engagement shoot all the way to post-wedding that Adina was on mine and Vlad's team and that she was committed to doing superb work the whole way. She is very easy to connect with, and I appreciate that she was crystal clear on what services she offers.
Vlad and I never took many pictures together when we were dating, so I was little nervous about being able to get those beautiful and romantic shots. Adina made it super easy for us, giving us pointers and taking the time to make sure we were positioned just right. Most of all, just who she is as a person helped us feel relaxed and act like ourselves in front of the camera :) (And she DID pose and catch some crazy romantic moments!!!!) Her second shooter is also so fun and easy going!
She has a Wedding Guide PDF that helped me get an idea of how to plan for pictures on the big day and actually for our entire wedding timeline. For any ladies out there that are freaking out because they've never planned a wedding before (I had only been a flower girl in a wedding and was one of the first of my girlfriends to get married) and decided to forego having a wedding planner, Adina's advice is SO helpful!!!
Post-wedding, Adina has a great setup for sharing the digital collection with friends and family and letting us create our dream physical album. I would highly recommend Adina to aaaany couple. She is fun, easy to work with, and a joy to share one of the most important days of your life with :) Enjoy the moment, ladies and gentlemen! Adina will capture all those special memories for you :)

Most of all, just who she is as a person helped us feel relaxed and act like ourselves in front of the camera :) (And she DID pose and catch some crazy romantic moments!!!!) Her second shooter is also so fun and easy going!
She has a Wedding Guide PDF that helped me get an idea of how to plan for pictures on the big day and actually for our entire wedding timeline. For any ladies out there that are freaking out because they've never planned a wedding before (I had only been a flower girl in a wedding and was one of the first of my girlfriends to get married) and decided to forego having a wedding planner, Adina's advice is SO helpful!!!
Post-wedding, Adina has a great setup for sharing the digital collection with friends and family and letting us create our dream physical album. I would highly recommend Adina to aaaany couple. She is fun, easy to work with, and a joy to share one of the most important days of your life with :) Enjoy the moment, ladies and gentlemen! Adina will capture all those special memories for you :)
Adina Preston is quite honestly one of the most amazing photographers I’ve ever worked with. The results of her creativity is nothing short of magical.
Adina did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She was very good about getting pictures of everything from the guests, the wedding party and family to the small details (place settings, decorations etc.) She was very helpful when putting together the timeline for our wedding day. She always got back to me quickly and answered any questions I had. She was an absolute joy to work with and all of the pictures she took were beautiful. We are so grateful she was there to record our special day!
When the first impressions after seeing some of the photos from your daughter’s wedding are tears of joy, then you know they picked the right photographer. From the initial meeting with Adina where she asked what the couple wanted, she was clear that their vision was what she would capture. We all knew that she was the right person to capture the love story of E&T. She is a gem to work with and her ability to use her camera to tell a story is amazing. The pictures from that special day continue to make this Mom's heart sing with love and happiness.
Adina is a phenomenal photographer and a phenomenally fun and kind human being! Not only she has an unique eye for pretty things, she also knows how to make one feel and look pretty. She's the best...THE BESTEST OF THE BEST!
Having Adina as our photographer for both our engagement photos and for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Adina and her second photographer, Jared, are both very personable and put me and my husband at ease. We received our photos back quickly and they were PERFECT! She was able to capture the soft romance we wanted to feel on our wedding day and it is easy to see the love that was present on that day in every photo. I cannot recommend Adina enough!
When searching for photographers I was immediately drawn to Adina's work, and I could not be happier with the decision to pick Adina to be the photographer for our wedding! My husband and I are not ones to take many pictures together, and so it was critical to find a great photographer who could work with our inexperience in front of the camera. Adina made everything so easy for our engagement pictures and the entire wedding day, and our wedding party and family also praised how great she was to work with. Thanks to Adina we have soooo many amazing pictures to treasure for years :).
I booked Adina without meeting her in person first, purely based on her good reviews so I hope that this will help the next couple decide to book with her as well!
Adina far exceeded my hopes and expectations. I was aiming to get a lot of candid photos and less posing photos so I didn't allocate a lot of time for posing pictures on our wedding day. With the time we did use, Adina got the job done with A LOT of great pictures of us with together, with our families, and with the wedding party. As the weeks after our wedding passed and I hadn't seen the pictures yet I was getting nervous...maybe asking for mostly candids was a bad idea. Candids can be very unforgiving (unflattering) and I wanted a lot of good pictures of course!
When the pictures arrived (only 3-4 weeks later-amazing!) we were blown away by what Adina and her assistant were able to capture. BEAUTIFUL pictures of everyone. Everyone who saw the pictures said that they completely relived the day when they were looking through them. We are SO happy with the outcome.
Besides beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever, Adina and her assistant were so wonderful to work with. From the first consultation, to the engagement session, and especially on the wedding day, Adina was so warm and professional. She quietly captures moments from the side and jumps in to give recommendations when she sees potential for a better photo.
I'm so thankful we booked her for our wedding day and I'd highly recommend you do the same if you want to be able to relive all those amazing moments all over again, forever!

KatyAnn, Thank You and Kyle so much! I'm so happy and grateful to have met you and be able to photograph one of the most special days of your lives! Keep in touch from time to time and update me on things from time to time! :)) Lots of love! Ad...
ina
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! From the beginning, she's been helpful and reassuring. She was taking tons of pictures throughout the entire wedding, but she managed to stay out of site the entire time. I'd absolutely book her again!
Adina is the BEST photographer in the wedding business. She captured our day perfectly and we couldn't be happier with our pictures. Adina and Danyelle were both professional, organized and timely. I highly recommend Adina for your wedding photography!
There are three reasons why you should save yourself a lot of time and just call Adina to book her for your wedding.
1. I'm a professional photographer who shoots commercial, portrait and artistic photography. When my daughter announced that she was getting married I asked my fellow photographers for a recommendation. Adina's name came up a lot. When I reviewed her portfolio I saw why. I immediately saw that Adina has both an eye for photography and an understanding of light. Framing a shot and knowing how to use light to your advantage is a skill that takes years to master, which Adina has done. I was very happy when my daughter also liked Adina but for different reasons. She liked that Adina captured and conveyed the emotion of the moment, which I agree with.
2. Adina's preparation with my daughter helped her to get ideas of what she wanted, where to go for the engagement photos, and how to schedule the wedding day to have plenty of time for great photos.
3. Adina and her assistant know how to blend into the background. During the wedding ceremony and at the reception Adina and her assistant were able to get great photos without being obvious. We were able to enjoy the ceremony without also being aware that we were being photographed.
I highly recommend Adina and think that you should contact her right now.

Mr Beck - receiving such wonderful words coming from another seasoned professional photographer is a true honor. Thank you so much for recommending me to your daughter - Katie is such a sweet lady and I loved photographing her wedding with Scot...
t. They both are beautiful inside and out, their personalities and connection showed through in all the photos we took. Wishing them all the best in their new journey as husband and wife, and looking forward to future photo sessions with them and the family. Adina
Adina is wonderful! All-around everything you would wish for in a wedding photographer.
Highlights:
-Takes initiative to guide you through figuring out your style
-Thinks through everything ahead of time, helped with timeline
-Really efficient with group photos
-Reasonably priced; really transparent about pricing.
-The end result was amazing! Check out her portfolio if you're still not convinced.
I contacted Adina after seeing her work from a close friend's wedding that I attended. Adina was flexible with what we wanted. She isn't only professional, she makes you feel really comfortable. We got married at the Pike Place Market and didn't have a plan for all the pictures we wanted, Adina was a so helpful with that. She focused on what we wanted, cancer pictures and was always ready when we wanted to take a picture with a friend or family. The colors of the pictures and the end result of them all really represent us. I am so glad she was there and gave us so much help and support. I am recommending her to anyone who needs a photographer.
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
Thank you Nadia, it was a pleasure working with you and Winston. And Pike Market was the perfect spot for your wedding! :) See you soon!
Adina and her second shooter worked their magic at my wedding back in August. She was calm, cool, professional and our photos turned out so beautifully! Adina is super easy to work with, too. If you book her, you won't be disappointed! She's amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
Gosh Mia, your wedding was gorgeous! All the details came together perfectly, and you and Kyle were the sweetest! I loveeee how the photos came out! Hugs!! Adina
Adina photographed our wedding this July and the pictures are absolutely stunning. She was very professional and organized which made us feel at ease throughout our big day. Adina made sure we got all of the shots we wanted and had some great ideas for us to try. My husband and I have received so many compliments on our pictures, they far exceeded our expectations! She is detail oriented and captured every detail of our day perfectly. Thank you so much Adina, we will truly treasure theses photos forever!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
Thank you so much Sarah, It was so much fun spending the day with you guys! Till next time!! :)) Adina
We were truly blessed that we found Adina to photograph our wedding. She is a remarkable photographer and captured our big day (as well as our engagement) beautifully. Adina was with us for the entire day and felt like part of the family. We couldn't be happier with how the photos came out.
Highly recommended! I will be referring her to all of my friends and family!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
I so appreciate your kind words, Dan! You and your beautiful bride were a pleasure to be around and photograph! Lots of love! Adina
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to shoot our wedding! Adina's professionalism and genuine care for her clients made our wedding day so special and easy. Upon meeting Adina for the first time and taking our engagement with her, she made us feel comfortable and ready for what was our wedding day. During that process, her attention to detail in each shot showed in each photo. She was able to capture all the real moments regardless if it was posed or candid. Adina's communication was always on point, and her turn around time was fast. Cooper and I are extremely happy with the photos she took and we would recommend her service to any couple getting married.
Thank you, Adina!
xo,
Kelly & Cooper
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
Hi Kelly and Cooper!! Love you guys!!! Thank you again for having me at your gorgeous wedding at Russell's Loft! You are both amazing!! Hugs! Adina (please excuse the exclamation marks overload - I'm just super excited looking back!!) Haha
We were so lucky to have Adina shoot our wedding as well as an amazing engagement shoot at the top of nearby Rattlesnake Ledge. She is very personable, fun to work with, and has a remarkable talent. We will treasure the photos she took for a lifetime.
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
Thank you Elyse and Eivind!! Lots of love for you guys! And Happy Anniversary!!! XOXO, Adina
Adina and her assistant were amazing!! I am in the wedding industry myself and have high expectations. She showed up to my daughter's wedding and I immediatly felt relaxed.
She has a quite an eye for beautiful shots. I couldn't be happier with the photos and am so grateful that my daughter and her husband hired Adina. Thank you Adina for capturing such wonderful memories with your artistic eye! I am so happy with all the photos!!!
Kim
Mother of the Bride
Adina worked tirelessly and unobtrusively to capture all of the moments and feelings throughout our special day. We could not be happier with the way our photos turned out. Highly recommend!
I will give 100 stars if I could! Highly recommended, exceeded my expectation!
I searched for wedding photographers for a long time before I booked with Adina. I am a designer myself and work for a company that's kinda in the wedding business, so I really have very high expectation and standards when it comes to my own wedding photography. The moment I saw her work, I know that's how I want my wedding photos to be. The first time we met was actually our engagement photo session, she is so gentle, so nice and just makes us feel so relaxed during the entire photo session. When it comes to our wedding day, Adina and her partner were AMAZING! She brought LOTs of photography equipments and even got a time-lapse of how my big day was developed. Only after a week and half, all photos are ready for us to review and download. All of them are beautifully done! They really took tons of photos!
Awesome work, LOVE LOVE LOVE Adina!
Best kept secret.... Hiring a photographer to capture the feelings you have inside and seeing them through her camera is an art form that Adina has mastered. Both Erin & I both knew the moment we met her that she was the one for us and we couldn't be happier. She's very creative and enjoys telling your story as she snaps away. Never afraid of an adventure during a shoot and thinks outside of the box. All of those elements spoke to us and her pictures say the rest. I'd be selfish to say we don't want to share her with others but we'd be fools to not let everyone know how happy we are with everything she's done for us. We look forward to many more shoots and continued friendship in the future!!! Many Thanks & Love, Tyson & Erin 07.15.2017
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
Erin & Tyson - Words can't describe how grateful I am to have met you! Thank you for making me feel like a close friend on your special day and not just a vendor. Your friendship means a lot and I can't wait to photograph each stage of your mar...
ried life to come! Babies next?! :)) Hugs and kisses!! A.
I loved working with Adina! She did both our engagement and wedding photos. I could not be happier with the results. For both shoots she was patient, gave direction, and did such a great job of capturing those candid in-between photo moments. She was always willing to try something if I asked and like I said, gave direction whenever needed. I never felt like we were standing around wondering what to do next. On the day of the wedding both her and her assistant were extremely professional, but never stuffy. They were both happy and fun, and it was such a joy to have them there. They worked so hard to capture so many special moments. We got our pictures back in a timely manner and it was so fun looking through the many many many pictures that were taken. I was also pleasantly surprised at her creativity in some of the pictures. The most important part though, is that I instantly could feel the joy of the day and it was so fun reliving our wedding through her pictures.
Adina was wonderful. She answered my initial web query IMMEDIATELY, with the most thoughtful and professional message. She happened to be available on short notice, and did not require the purchase of massively expensive albums. She even had our pictures available online within just a few days, with the option to buy prints.
Every part of working with her was wonderful, from the reasonable pricing, to the seamless work she did, to the wonderful photos. I couldn't have ask for more.
Words cannot express how happy I am that I found Adina for my wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend her to be your photographer. She is beyond talented and I have so many beautiful photos that really captured my wedding day. She was warm, caring, professional, courteous, timely, efficient, passionate, super talented, and about a thousand other adjectives that you would want to describe your wedding photographer. She took the time to hear about things I wanted captured through the day, and then added her unique (and beautiful) touch to them. She has a real talent for capturing artistic shots that show the emotion of the moment. I feel so lucky to have had her as part of my day. Thank you Adina, for doing such an amazing job with my wedding photography.

Nicole, words can't express how grateful and blessed I am for meeting you and being part of your special wedding. Thank you again for the referrals and wonderful words! God bless! Adina
My husband and I worked with Adina to capture photos of us for our Anniversary. It's very apparent the passion Adina has for her craft. She handled our photo shoot with ease, bringing out the simple beauty of the landscape, but highlighting us with her artistic and creative touch. I'd highly recommend her!
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2016
Hi Nicole, Hi Brock! Thank you so much for your kind words! So happy we got to work together so many times, and I'm looking forward to the next session!
We love, love, LOVE our photos. Adina shot our engagement photoshoot in Downtown Seattle and Sculpture Park. She has created so many wonderful memories for us. My fiance and I are so grateful that we chose Adina for our photoshoot. She is the best photographer to work with. She is so charming and gracious, accommodating and understanding and still fundamentally professional. During our initial conversation she took time to understand my vision for the photoshoot and made sure that I get exactly what I want. The pictures came out to be magical.
Adina you are brilliant in your work. Thank you so much for giving us such good memories that my fiance and I are going to cherish for the rest of our lives.
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2016
Hi Nancy, gosh, working with you two was so much fun!! The photos came out absolutely amazing, and I'm grateful to have met you guys! See you this December at your wedding in India!! :D
Adina was just amazing - my husband and I were married privately, but wanted photos to share with our friends and family that captured the stunning venue and our intimate ceremony we had. Adina was so kind and courteous, while she was taking pictures of me getting ready, I felt as though I was getting ready with a close friend! She made us feel so relaxed and at ease, she wanted us to explore the property and be as natural as possible. She even came prepared with rubber boots so she could get in the river or pond to capture the perfect shot! As far as the final product, all I can say is, WOW. Our photos are truly gorgeous and we will be able to cherish this day forever through her pictures. Thanks again Adina!
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2016
Alicia + Ryan - You are SO very welcome! I was so excited to be there in such a gorgeous location with you two, that I didn't care about slipping and falling in the river :D It was all worth it! Good luck with everything back in Florida, and pl...
ease stay in touch! Hugs from the PNW!! :))
My wife and I are very blessed to have had Adina be our photographer. She is an amazing person and her work is unbelievable. When we were meeting other photographers, it felt like a business meeting. The first thing most photographers talk about is pricing and what can be done after we have selected a package. Adina takes a different approach. Our meeting was very welcoming and she wanted to get to know my wife and me first and build that friendship, which she has. Adina went above and beyond my expectations. She conducted two engagement sessions, gave us extra time on our wedding day and never stopped checking in with us. My family and friends loved her enthusiasm, warm smile and personality. My wife and I have received countless compliments on the photos that Adina has taken. Her work is the real deal! I don’t plan on using any other photographer for future needs. Adina Preston is funny, honest, an amazing photographer, editor and now a friend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/31/2016
Rich and Ari, you two have become such dear friends, so now we can have as many coffees and dinners, and race our cars together as much as we want!! :)) And Thank you so much for your kind words! <3
My wife and I are very organized, detailed oriented and particular and we absolutely enjoy having Adina as our photographer for our wedding and engagement pictures. She meets our standards in every way. She is organized, detailed, talented, creative, professional, friendly, fun to work with.
She is not afraid to tell people to move to get a good shot, stopped traffic in the the middle of a busy Queen Anne street, she helped us carried our shoes as we were walking bare feet. We love Adina's creativity and passion for photography. She is very professional, punctual, she constantly asked us what type of pictures/ shots we wanted, making sure we are happy and comfortable during the shooting. She is on track through out the process of setting up our engagement photo sessions and outlining the details on our big day to ensure she will capture all the photos we need/want. We love her organization skills, it makes us feel more at ease on our already hectic wedding process/day. We love her creativity with photos and suggestions for different types of shots. We can see her passion for photography and how much she enjoys her job which makes her fun to work with.
We would definitely use her again for future photo sessions, and we definitely recommend Adina for anyone who wants to work with a talented, creative, organized, professional, fun photographer for their special occasions.

Kitty and Lahn, you made my day again! Thank you for such a nice review, makes my heart grow knowing that what I do means so much to the people I work with! I'm happy we're connected, so you'll hear from me from time to time! :))
Adina shot our engagement and wedding in Seattle. On both occasions, she stuck with us through the drizzle and downpour, and did it all with style, grace, and enthusiasm. We picked her because of her editorial style, creative thinking, ability to let emotions shine through in photographs, and how comfortable we felt when we met her. She was always punctual about communicating with us, organized about gathering our shoot list, and unobtrusive during the wedding. We truly feel lucky to have found her! She is professional, artistic, and truly a wonderful person.

Thank you so much Hannah! What a pleasure and what an honor was to be with you and Michael on your wedding day! Wishing you all the best in your new journey! Adina
Adina was the only photographer that we met with! We knew from the first couple of minutes of the initial consultation that she was the perfect photographer to capture our big day! She is SO passionate about what she does and has a natural eye for once in a lifetime shots. She touched base with me numerous times through out my wedding planning process to see if I needed anything from her. On our wedding day, she kept every one calm and suggested some awesome places to take photos. All of our pictures turned out AMAZING, and we had our wedding party and guests begging to see the pictures from our wedding. Book Adina as your wedding photographer! You will regret it if you don't!
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2016
Ashley and Jake, it was such a pleasure meeting you and documenting your wedding! Thank you so much for being kind and amazing! Good luck in your new journey together! :)
After the initial meeting with Adina, we knew she would be the one. She was friendly and we could tell that she loves what she is doing and that taking pictures is not a job, but a passion. Our initial thoughts were cemented time and time again throughout our interactions.
Our engagement session at the Suzzalo library, Adina told at least four students move their backpacks so it won’t be in our pictures. This is one of many examples to show that Adina is very detailed oriented photographer. Not only that she makes sure you look great, but your surroundings too!
During the day of the wedding, Adina was very efficient. She was very good at directing the bridal party so we can quickly get the shots we needed. Most importantly, Adina was very friendly to all our guests.
Though, I can go on and on about how great Adina is, but since you haven’t met her, you probably care more about how did the pictures turn out. We are thrilled with how they came out. Our family (especially the moms) loves them and want copies of them!
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2016
Bao-Uyen, what a glorious day we spent together! I loved every moment with you and Chris, and I can't wait to show you your new album and aluminum print, they look amazing!! :) Adina
Adina was absolutely amazing. She was so easy to work with, so communicative, and took such amazing pictures. For such an important day, it was so great to have such an incredible experience and to have such beautiful pictures to remember it forever. Adina was so relaxing and refreshing to spend tine with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for any event. I know I will keep in her mind for any future event, including maternity pictures or what not. Don't look any further if you are having a hard time finding a photographer.
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2016
Shawnda and Tommy - one of the sweetest couples I've had the pleasure to meet! Thank you so much for all the kind words, I am so happy we can keep in touch as friends, and to be your future photographer! lots of love! Adina
If you are shopping around for a good photographer, i'd say your search ends here! My husband and I had the pleasure of having Adina photograph our engagement and wedding pictures.
I was initially nervous about finding a good photographer because I was having two ceremonies and two receptions in one day (Indian ceremony and American Ceremony)! yes you read that right! So it was very important to me that the photographer was prepared, flexible, organized and fun to be around. Adina was all of that and more!
Adina was the first photographer I talked to who was truly excited about shooting my wedding! and trust me i talked to A LOT of photographers. But she was the one who stood out the most because I could easily tell that she was passionate about her work. It was easy to see that she loved what she does, and has fun doing it! She responded to my emails quickly, and made sure we were both on the same page. I was planning my wedding from AZ, so it was a great relief to me that it was easy to get hold of her when I needed some questions answered. She worked with me to plan out the day. We got together to see how much time is needed for different types of pictures, and when we can work those into the schedule. When the big day came, i was not able to stay on schedule :( but she was very flexible and captured all the things that were important to me through the craziness of it all.
This was her first South Indian wedding so i was a bit nervous at first, but she gained my confidence easily. She worked with me to make sure she understood the Indian ceremony, the different aspects that important to me and she made sure to capture it all. In terms of the American ceremony, she helped me identify what moments would be great to capture. She has a very good creative eye! she captured LOTS of stunning pictures throughout the entire day! To top it all off, she got so many pictures in such a creative way, that it looks like they came straight out of a magazine.
Overall, I loved working with her! She is absolutely awesome! Fun to have around! She is great at communicating (for a bride, this is KEY!) and her turn around for pictures was fast! Adina has ALL the qualities of a great photographer and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in search!
