Weddings to me are just an excuse to "Live in the moment", which is my mantra. That's because it allows me to show my own perspective of the world & share this gift with everyone else involved. If I had to define one thing that I love the most, it would be the exhilarating feeling of being able to write an unique love story with my camera! My inspiration comes from real life experiences mixed with the unique connection that each couple has. My clients tend to be the ones that embrace life and are not afraid to live out loud.

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.

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!

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!

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!!

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!!!

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 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!

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 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.

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 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 :)

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 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!

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.

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.

She is detail oriented and captured every detail of our day perfectly. Thank you so much Adina, we will truly treasure theses photos forever!

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!

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

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.

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.
