Photography Should be
Fun!
Personally, I've been a wedding & elopement photographer now for over 10 years (that's pretty bananas)! I reside in the Pacific Northwest with my wife, Haley, after having worked in places like Los Angeles, Portland, Vancouver BC, and Scottsdale, Hawaii & New York. And because I've worked destination weddings all over the world, just know that wherever your wedding is, you're in good hands! Now, it's all about having an awesome time with awesome couples like you. I am dedicated to your beautiful, big day and committed to craft your wedding story through photography.
My photography has been seen around the world in places like Harpers Bazaar, Coach, Conde Nast, Brides, Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings, Vogue, Esquire, and so many other amazingly respected brands. And over the past decade, I've photographed more than 1,000 clients, taken more than a million photographs, and have truly dedicated my professional life to being the best I can be.
Simply put, I love what I do, and I treat every wedding and elopement as if it were my own. Just remember - no distance is too far . I am excited to hear from you and learn more about how I can help you with your wedding photography (and your experience of a lifetime)! Let's do this.

"hands down - the best thing we did for our wedding. Because of Kyle, we are able to relive the most special day of our lives."

Kyle is worth his weight in gold! In the day and age of countless apps and filters it’s hard to find a wedding photographer in Seattle who is truly talented and professional. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent sifting through different profiles and pictures trying to find someone who’s work caught my eye, until I came across Kyle. His work is timeless and beautiful and you can tell that this is his passion. This guy really knows what he’s doing with his 10+ years of experience. From our very first email until the last moments of our wedding he was nothing but kind and helpful. He answered every question every step of the way and was the calm in the chaos on the big day. Our pictures are absolutely STUNNING! He made it look like our wedding belongs in a magazine. His photography is amazing, but he was also able to capture the quiet little moments I may have otherwise forgotten about.
"Kyle does a wonderful job of making the camera disappear - you just live in the moment."
Courtney & Dylan
The day was absolutely incredible, When we returned from our adventure with Kyle, we were not the same people as when we had left. Kyle does a wonderful job of making the camera disappear - you just live in the moment.
We are proud to call Kyle our photographer. For anyone looking to make a lasting moment of your special day, book Luma Weddings for your photography.

"Kyle did a great job in keeping our energy up and was able to capture our personalities."
Very professional and prompt through the entire communication process. This was especially important since we planned a destination wedding in Tulum, Mexico at the Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa. They were our best professional vendor. Hire them immediately for your photography.
We felt so comfortable in front of the camera - Kyle did a great job in keeping our energy up and was able to capture our personalities and some truly romantic moments! When looking for the best photographers - look no further.

He truly knows how to capture your personal style and event style in the photographs. I highly recommend him & Haley! They are such an amazing husband & wife team. We absolutely loved our wedding photos at the Vizcaya Museum in Miami! Get them all the awards!

"If you're looking to book a destination wedding photographer, look no further."
Kyle did such an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. We had a destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico at Moon Palace Nizuc, and Kyle knew exactly what to do with the harsh sunlight, hot weather, and extreme humidity, not to mention how to avoid all the tourists in the backgrounds.
If you're looking to book a destination wedding photographer, look no further, Kyle is your person, he's super easy to work with and he can give you lots of great suggestions! Professional wedding photography - check!

Kyle did an exceptional job photographing our engagement. We did the Epic package and it truly lived up to its name. He photographed us in an intimate and genuine way. His down to earth nature & warm personality made for a fun and comfortable day at many locations. Kyle's Seattle wedding photography perfectly encompassed our love and the awe-inspiring vista of the lake. Kyle personalized the experience for us, and made it a truly memorable experience. After the shoot, Kyle delivered authentic, perfectly color corrected images that were a true representation of our engagement. This was truly a magical and worthwhile investment that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Kyle for being so prompt, professional, and just an awesome person. You will not be disappointed.

Kyle Goldie is an excellent [Seattle wedding photographer] and very professional. He truly captured the best moments of the JM Cellars wedding we had in a magical way.
The pictures of our wedding day are unbelievable - and feel like they're straight out of a magazine!

"Their personable yet professional approach helped us feel comfortable & confident throughout the process."
We have nothing but great things to say about Luma Weddings. Besides the fact that our photos turned out AMAZING (and now grace nearly every wall in our house) our experience working with Kyle and Haley was fantastic.
The day of our wedding Kyle and Haley were a blast to have around. They made the entire wedding party feel so comfortable and they knew how to handle the rain like a pro. Haley even helped sew my dress when it broke during the reception - she was awesome! We have had multiple friends and future brides book through Luma Weddings after hearing about our experience and seeing how our photos turned out. They are on the rise though so I'd suggest booking ASAP!

"He really was a perfect combination.... Kyle was well researched, fast, efficient, and a direct but kind creative director."
Every guest commented after our wedding - “How did you come across such an amazing photographer? He really was a perfect combination.” Kyle was well researched, fast, efficient, and a direct but kind creative director. We really lucked out that he and his wife Haley were available to photograph and day-of direct our wedding. I couldn’t be happier with his leadership in keeping us on time, organized, and I’m extra grateful for his brilliant artistic insight. Both Kyle and Haley were professional and gracious. My guests all want to be friends with them now, as well. Our stunning pics arrived much faster than expected. I couldn’t be more thankful that Luma Weddings travelled all way to the mountains of Idaho to make our special day a perfect day. 10/10!

"So friendly and professional at the same time. He is an excellent wedding photographer."
We're so happy we chose Luma Weddings to photograph the most important day of our lives together. Kyle and Haley make a great team together and they instantly felt like new friends. So friendly and professional at the same time. He is an excellent wedding photographer in Seattle, he captured every perfect moment at the right moment so that we can relive that day through his wonderful pictures. Turn around time was fast! Half the time that we were expecting!! We absolutely loved that he gave us several shots, even when they were the same pose, that we could pick out OUR favorites. We're grateful and impressed with the quality AND quantity! He provided 100% value along with his beautiful side-kick, they are a must have for your wedding. Thank you so much Kyle and Haley!!

Kyle shot our wedding in Cancun Mexico last weekend. He did an amazing job at making sure we were comfortable and adjusting to our late schedule. Beyond the professional wedding photography, Kyle & Haley joined in on our celebration and we all just clicked!
Outside of our AMAZING wedding photos, they were just so great to be with! We would highly recommend Kyle & Haley Goldie at Luma Weddings for any special events! SO MUCH FUN!

I just received my wedding pictures and am SO EXCITED and extremely happy with the final product. They arrived much sooner than we expected. With so much wedding planning and anxiety, I can say that booking Kyle to be our photographer was one of our best decisions. My bridal party loved them, too!
I got the pictures I've always dreamed of. Thank you, Kyle and Haley!!! You guys are the best Seattle wedding photographers.

Kyle was absolutely amazing! He was kind and flexible throughout the day and was focused on the vision that we had for our photos.
During the time leading up to the wedding Kyle was so helpful, easy to work with and he always responded to my emails quickly. We couldn't be happier with our photos and the storytelling behind his style! When looking for Seattle wedding photography, book him. No wonder they've won so many awards!
Very Experienced Wedding Photographer
A: It really comes down to where you are getting married and when. In short, you would be (traditionally) looking at regular rate + travel. That said, there are some variables that are involved with traveling the globe, so it's best to reach out for a custom proposal for your wedding day. As an example, a helicopter elopement on an Alaskan glacier is going to cost different than an intimate wedding on a cruise around the Aegean Sea or a cliffside wedding on the Amalfi Coast.
A: When your budget is in alignment with the best - your options are endless. First, start with your desired weather. From there, identify how many guests you are wanting to be present. And then identify the time of year that you want to have your wedding. With those 3 things, that will narrow down the search quite a bit by itself. Now, narrow it down further with the type of food that you want there, the aesthetic that you want for your photographs, and the logistics to make it all happen. Simplicity wins, in my opinion after having done this for so many years now.
A: There's no wrong path! You can certainly get gorgeous photos either way. It all comes down to the experience you're wanting, the aesthetic of the location, and how intimate you want it all to be. Typically with elopements, you're able to lean more into the adventure of your wedding day, whereas traditional Seattle wedding photography will get you exactly that - something more traditional. My two cents: Look for something that is for YOU and not for other people.
A: First and foremost, romantic & timeless. Beyond that photography foundation, I am committed to authentic storytelling to capture your real moments throughout your wedding day. That said, I will guide you through it all with a strategic timeline (or coordination with the assistance of your wedding planner) and help you both relax and truly be in the moment - but at the same time, guide you what to do so your gallery is as best as it can possibly be. Perfectly crafted art comes from feeling comfortable in front of beautifully crafted light. After all, your day is about you. It's about the details, the emotion, the photojournalistic & natural story. It's where the motion of authentic moments meets gorgeous, intentionally-curated & guided poses. Bottom line, it is my commitment to deliver heirloom quality photographs that you will cherish forever.
A: It might sound biased, but I am being honest - now. Even if you aren't positive about anything yet, reach out. I've been in the industry for such a long time that I might be able to help some answer some of the questions that you are currently being stuck by. The right photographer for you can help to lend expertise - not just photographs. So, be sure inquire. There's never an obligation. But with my experience having traveled to over 28 countries (some of them multiple times over), I might be able to lend you some of the guidance that you're needing in this very moment.
A: I've been a professional photographer since 2008. And since that time, I have had hundreds of brides, grooms, and their wedding planners reach out to only find that I am already booked for their big day. So, don't hesitate to reach out early. So, check out their portfolio and it locked in and on your photographers calendar ASAP.
Photography shouldn't wait. Don't risk your dream photographer already being booked.
