Rye and Des were incredible from start to finish. They were so accommodating and genuinely kind, and their entire team brought such a warm, relational presence to the day. They were professional while also making us feel completely seen and heard, which meant so much not just to me, but to our whole wedding party.
In the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, their communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful. I always felt informed, supported, and confident going into the day. Even after the wedding, they’ve continued to be amazing, keeping us in the loop throughout the editing process and making everything feel smooth and easy.
So many of our guests commented on how invested they were, and multiple people were asking for their contact information afterward. That really says it all. They didn’t just show up to do a job, they showed up to care, connect, and capture the day in a meaningful way.
I would absolutely hire them again and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a team that is not only talented, but truly present and invested.

For our wedding, choosing Des and Rye from “To Veil and Vignette” was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we met them, they made us feel completely comfortable and cared for, which made such a difference throughout the entire experience. They are not only incredibly talented photographers, but also such kind and genuine people who truly care about capturing every moment in the most meaningful way possible. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture real emotion is something truly special. Every moment felt natural and effortless, and they somehow managed to capture all the love, excitement, and emotion of the day perfectly. They paid attention to both the big moments and the small details that made our wedding so personal and unforgettable. What stood out most was how calm, professional, and reassuring they were throughout the entire day. They made everything feel easy and enjoyable while still making sure every important moment was beautifully documented. You can tell they are deeply passionate about what they do, and that passion shows in every part of their work. We are beyond grateful to have had them as part of such an important day in our lives. The entire experience exceeded every expectation we had, and we truly could not recommend “To Veil and Vignette” more. Anyone who works with them is incredibly lucky to have their memories captured by such talented and thoughtful photographers.

Rye and Des were amazing to work with for our surprise engagement. They responded promptly throughout the entire process and answered any questions I had along the way. They seemed ready for any challenge, including hiking a difficult trail that none of us had experienced before. Rye and Des helped me ensure the surprise proposal went off without a hitch. Our pictures turned out beautifully, and they guided us through poses that felt and looked natural.

We absolutely loved how our engagement photos turned out. The and Des were very flexible day of making sure we got optimal views and lighting. Their communication was fantastic especially given the area having limited cell service. Their communication really captured our memory perfectly and let our personalities shine in our photos, can’t recommend enough!

We worked with Rye and Des for our surprise engagement proposal. They went out of their way to drive all the way to Leavenworth the day I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend. They worked with me to help set everything up and be right there waiting for us for when I got down on one knee. They were extremely friendly, professional, and helped make the day so wonderful. On top of that, the photos they took were amazing! They have wonderful ideas for poses and they stayed with us in the cold helping us take lots of beautiful engagement pictures. I could not have been more happy with their work, and I can’t wait to work with them for our wedding.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We believe in transparency, so you never have to worry about hidden surprises! Our packages are designed to be simple and inclusive. Because we are a husband-and-wife team, our full-day wedding packages include two photographers (Des and Rye!) which ensures we don’t miss a single angle. We do require a retainer to save your date. While we are based in Bonney Lake, WA, we are big adventurers! We have standard travel fees for locations outside our immediate area, but we try to keep them reasonable because we love a good road trip!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It’s all about connection! First, we love to hop on a quick call or video chat. Since we’ll be spending your big day with you, we want to make sure we vibe well and that you feel totally comfortable with us. Once we’re booked, we aren't strangers! We help you with timeline planning to ensure we get the best lighting for your photos. On the day of, we are your hype team, dress-fluffers, and calm presence. After the event, you’ll get a "sneak peek" gallery quickly, followed by your full, high-resolution gallery to cherish forever.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
While we have invested in professional workshops and masterclasses to hone our technical skills in lighting and editing, our most valuable training comes from real-world experience. We have spent years shooting in every lighting condition imaginable—from harsh midday sun on a mountain peak to dim, romantic reception halls. We are constantly learning and upgrading our gear to ensure we give you the absolute best quality.
