About A+K Photography
A+K Photography is top-rated, queer owned Seattle wedding photography team (Alexis Gurr + Katrina Gurr) based in Skagit County, Washington, serving couples in Seattle, Bellingham, Blaine, Ferndale, Mount Vernon, Whidbey Island, Anacortes, Camano Island, Arlington, Marysville, Everett, Snohomish, Bellevue, Tacoma, and throughout Washington State.
Since 2022, Alexis + Katrina have been photographing weddings and engagements together, bringing over twenty years of combined photography experience to every single celebration. Their style is vibrant, heartfelt, and full of personality, with an approach that’s hands on, intentional, and never stiff. They thrive on turning real moments into art, keeping things easy, hyping you up, guiding you with confidence, and making your time in front of the camera feel like a celebration all on its own.
Whether it’s the big belly laughs, the quiet teary moments, the wild dance floor chaos, or that one inside joke you’ll still be quoting years from now, Alexis + Katrina’s goal is to capture it all in a way that feels genuine and full of heart.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is your photographic style?
Our work blends candid, story-driven imagery with gentle, natural guidance. We focus on real emotion, connection, and the in-between moments, keeping everything relaxed so you look and feel like yourselves.
How would you describe your editing style?
We edit with moody, true-to-memory tones and a bump in contrast to add depth and richness. Colors stay natural, skin tones stay real, and the final gallery feels timeless with a little PNW atmosphere.
We’re awkward and not photogenic. Can you help?
Absolutely. Almost every couple tells us this at the beginning. Our approach is calm, warm, and easygoing; we guide you with simple prompts, help you loosen up, and make the experience feel fun rather than posed.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. While we're based in Skagit County, WA, we travel throughout Washington State, and select destinations.
What gear do you use?
We photograph with Canon professional bodies using both prime and zoom lenses, always shooting dual slot for safety. We bring backup cameras, extra batteries, and on-camera flash so we’re ready for any lighting situation.
