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.

I drove out to Grandview, WA to photograph Emily and Tyler’s engagement photos. Tyler is a hops farmer, so we headed out to his family’s hop farm for some fun pictures. The more industrial looking shots were taken in their hop kiln–too cool! And guys, at last count I have 12 mosquito bites. You owe me a coffee!
A little off-camera flash action for a completely different kind of look:
And Emily’s totally unique and amazing engagement ring:
I can’t wait for Tyler and Emily’s wedding in August!
Carrie and Carl were married on Father’s Day at Stone Ridge Event center in Pasco, WA. It was a truly gorgeous day in every way. Carrie and Carl were so sweet and tender with each other throughout the day and I was honored to be there to capture some truly wonderful moments.
Getting ready:

The wedding party was so much fun!
Here are a few from the ceremony.

Congratulations to Carrie and Carl!
Last night we ventured out to the Sacajawea Bluegrass Festival just east of Pasco, WA for a little music and fun. Here are some shots from the evening. (I rented a super-fun-bendy lens for a wedding I am going to photograph tomorrow, so of course I had to test it out!)
There were quite a few golden retrievers there and someone was joking that they thought they might be handing them out at the gate.
These days all she does is dance, dance, dance.
Some fun with the 24mm TS-E!
Kayla and Jake were married at the end of May at Stone Ridge Event Center in Pasco, WA. These two are an incredibly fun and laid-back couple, which is good considering the weather we had (on-again, off-again storms)! Nothing phased these two and they were an absolute joy to work with. Here are some of my favorite images from the day.
Kayla’s sister getting a bit weepy at seeing her baby sister putting on the final touches of her bridal attire.
Kayla’s shoes were unconventional and totally fun!
Here Kayla is making a dash through the rain to see Jake for the first time before pictures.

And the gorgeous details.
Kayla looked absolutely stunning!

The ringbearer was the funniest little guy–absolutely wild! Here is checking out the guests as they arrive.

The processional of wee people. They did so well!
Kayla looks so lovely.

A few from the late-evening ceremony. The light was spectacular.
The flower girls were so sweet.
Kayla has the most incredible way with kids. I really enjoyed watching her interact with all the little ones at the wedding.
The happy couple.
Kayla’s reaction to finding their car filled with balloons and rice. Tons of rice.
The first dance.
Congratulations to you both! Thank you for letting me a part of your beautiful day.
We had a weekend full of graduation events. On Saturday, our nephew Jake Haworth graduated from Richland High School and there was a party held in his honor. Here he is surrounded by his two big brothers. These three are all incredible athletes!
Then tonight my son graduated from kindergarten. Here he is with his buddy, Alex.
And waiting in the wings for the ceremony.
Accepting his diploma.
We never had these sorts of intermediate graduation ceremonies when I was growing up and I thought perhaps it would be overkill, but it was really sweet and fun! Now I need to get busy planning some fun stuff to keep us entertained this summer.
