Thanks for stopping by! I'm Ali Walker, a photographer who takes pictures of people. Little people, big people, young people, old people, and people in love. But mostly I photograph weddings. Why weddings? Because I adore them. Each wedding is a unique and amazing feat of design and, most importantly, a celebration that marks a new era in the life of two people. I am always so honored to be a part of what is really a very intimate day for my clients. My photography approach is both artistic and photojournalistic so that I can create a beautiful, honest story through my camera's viewfinder.
Originally from Bellevue, WA, I now call Walla Walla my home. I have two wee ones who are both funny and clever and a fat black cat with an unfortunate name. When I'm not busy behind my camera, I can be found reading Dwell magazine, listening to Regina Spektor, and dreaming of travel.
Ali Walker Photography is located in downtown Walla Walla just one block off Main Street and is available for wedding and portrait commissions nationwide. If you're planning a wedding or a lifestyle photography session and like what you see, please contact me so we can schedule a meeting and talk about your photography needs.

Two weekends ago we drove north to Spokane to visit our good friends Jon and Jen. Dave and Jon were college roommates and we’ve managed to stay in touch for all these years. Jon’s wife, Jen, is one of the sweetest women I’ve ever met and I really enjoy her amazing company. They’ve got the cutest little guys, too. While we were visiting them, we managed to sneak in a quick photo session. Here are a few of my favorites.
One last one of my Claire and little Henry hanging out.
New stuff is in the works…including my actual site. Yes, there is a site in addition to the blog, but it’s hanging out behind the scenes for now. Check back in early June for a brand, spankin’ new site. I’m really excited! In the meantime, if you have questions about pricing or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact me at info@aliwalkerphotography.com.
Victoria and Ryan met up with me Friday evening for an engagement shoot in downtown Kennewick. These two are so easy-going and fun–I know their wedding day is going to just gorgeous. And I have to thank them for all their patience with my incredible klutziness. I’m normally a bit klutzy, but it hit new highs during their shoot! All I can do is laugh at myself…I am what I am, klutziness and all! Anyhow, we got so many fun, creative shots at their engagement session that I had a difficult time picking which ones to share in this post.
And I have to post some outtakes–somebody at the park had their puppy off-leash and Victoria and Ryan were mauled. Don’t they look traumatized?
Thanks to you both for an awesome shoot!
Dan and Marisa were married on May 3rd at Ambiance Gardens. These two are such an incredible couple—passionate, elegant, and incredibly fun! Their day was gorgeous and so full of love. Here are some of my favorite images from the day.
The shoes, dress, and flowers.

The stunning Marisa…

A few of the wedding party…
The ceremony…
Dan and Marisa are bringing children to the marriage and they had a beautiful moment in which they blended sands to represent the union of the family.
They have the most adorable kids. I love the motion of this shot as the kids chase their parents down the aisle.
A few details…
And some reception highlights…
(I think this next shot may be my favorite from the whole day.)
A little speech preparation…
Instead of a traditional cake, Dan and Marisa chose a dessert table. For the first bite, they shared bite-sized triangles of delicious chocolate cake.
Dan invited the Educated Cigar out to the celebration, which was a huge hit with the guests.
The first dance…
Congratulations and best wishes to Dan and Marisa!
