Sasha Soyon
My name, which is Korean, means light through a forest. Perhaps that's why I chose Seattle to be my home, and why I named my company Green City Pix.
I love taking photos of people and capturing their natural beauty and emotions. My goal is to capture your joy, your excitement, your gorgeousness!
Since I began specializing in wedding photography, I’ve had the pleasure of working with hundreds of people who want their special day captured in a distinctive, artistic style. I've also had the honor of winning a 1,000 Euro grand prize in an Instagram contest (thanks, Instagram!), and being included in photography exhibits in Seattle and Singapore.
I love: my family and friends, ice cream, dahlias, the colors green and orange, bicycling around town, and of course, wedding photography and seeing the beauty in everything.
Investing in Wedding Photography
If you're reading this, it probably means that you value beautiful photography more than the average person. Perhaps you want to be captured in photos looking your best. Perhaps you recognize that after a wedding, birthday, or other special occasion, the only material things that remain are the photos that can trigger vivid memories of the event.
My goal for making wedding photos is to make beautiful images that you will show to your friends, family and future children. Images that you will look back on fondly for years to come. Images that will surprise you, that will give you joy, that will make you say, "Wow."

My rates are not cheap, but they are not excessive. A big value that you get with me is that I hand over all the final, edited digital photos. I'm not going to try to sell you any expensive prints or leather-bound albums. I'm keenly aware of how photos are shared today (through the web and mobile apps), and I like the efficiency of that.
Why Green City Pix?
One of the reasons why I named my company Green City Pix is that I'm very much into web technology and the way that the web allows us to save paper. While I usually take hundreds of photos at a wedding, I don't expect my clients to print most of them. You might print a few of your favorites and hang them on the wall, or print a hundred for an album, but the rest will probably be shared through the web or through cellphones. The most thrilling feeling for me is when I see my photos proudly displayed on a bride and groom's Facebook page, just seconds after I sent the photos to them.
Commitment-Phobic?
I understand that choosing the right wedding photographer can be daunting. Try me out for a half-hour $200 engagement session to get awesome images for your save-the-date invites. That will give us enough time to make some fabulous photos of you and your spouse-to-be. A full hour session is $375; a two-hour session at two or more locations of your choice is $700.
Happy Wedding Planning! I look forward to talking with you and coming up with an option that fits your desires as well as your budget!
