Kris Ladera of Kris Ladera Photography

Hey y’all, Kris here! I’m a wedding and family photographer who’s all about capturing the moments that feel real — big laughs, quiet glances, and everything in between. Since 2015, I’ve worked with clients to tell their love stories through a mix of candid connection and thoughtful storytelling. I do my best to bring a calm, welcoming energy to help people relax and be themselves in front of the camera. When I’m not taking pictures, you’ll most likely find me and my wife playing pickleball in West Seattle. Looking forward to meeting you!
