Satya Curcio Photography - Seattle, Washington

Alexandra K.

Can't say enough wonderful things about Satya and her work. She is a fantastic photographer with such a creative and artistic eye. Most recently we booked one of her Santa sessions. She has THE BEST Santa around, adorable sets, a great location, and takes care of organizing *everything*. Our kiddo is sensory sensitive and can get overwhelmed quickly (last year's mall-Santa photos with another studio were a nightmare). Satya and her team made sure to keep the environment calm, let Henry get comfy before bringing Santa in to see him, made the experience so much fun for Henry and the photos are just amazing. Not only are they gorgeous to look at, it's clear our kiddo was happy and comfortable, and that's not something that's easy to capture photographically with him. We had a very memorable experience and will treasure these photos until we can take more next year!!

Satya was everything we could have asked for in a photographer for our wedding. The stress of planning (and paying for) a wedding on your own is no small deal, but Satya never did anything but make us feel calm and like things were under control. She was organized, knew what she wanted to do and when it needed to be happen, and worked with us every step of the way to make sure we were getting everything that we wanted as well.

She has a great space in Seattle which was luckily near our home, so meeting with her to discuss timeline and make lists of who needed to be in formal portraits was a breeze. Our wedding was in Port Townsend and she came over the night before to explore the venue (Fort Worden State Park, which – by the way – is beautiful).

The day of the wedding, too, was a breeze. Formal portraits with family were fun and efficient and then we went off to explore the park and get some couple portraits done. She had a great eye and made fantastic use of the old artillery batteries through this old fort. During the ceremony and reception, she got great posed and candid shots of our family and friends without disrupting any of the socializing and fun that was being had.

And, in the end, what really matters is that the shots we got were fantastic. The album she created was small and simple (although she certainly had the ability to do more, for those who want that – we didn’t need much) and the shots she chose really captured the spirit and joy of our day. She also made us a 16”x20” print of our entire family in front of a gorgeous Madrona tree that is now hanging prominently in our living room.

Thank you, Satya, for capturing our wedding and for helping make it such a great experience. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a photographer who is organized, fantastic to work with, and captures amazing moments to look no further and hire Satya. She’s the best.

We hired Satya for our wedding and she knocked it out of the park for us! Also, hiring her second photographer (Eric) was one of the best decisions we could have made as it doubled the photos we received. We made sure to book her well in advance and found communication with her to be easy from 6 months ahead, right up to the day of the wedding and after. On the actual day of the event her and her team provided service above and beyond the call of duty - even providing the bride (now my wife) a ride to the church when the planned transportation fell through (it was a destination wedding so most guests did not have vehicles). A month later we received a huge VOLUME of EXCELLENT shots that perfectly matched the clear, realistic, but bright and colorful style we'd hoped for. All of our guests felt comfortable with Satya and Eric throughout the Ceremony and Reception. We were initially very price conscious, but looking back a year later, feel we received everything we paid for and much more. Additionally, the photo albums we received after the wedding were the perfect blend and balance of clean layout and beautiful images that set the scene (using details) and told the story (images the contained emotion on us and the guests) as well as the classic hero shots of us (bride and groom)
I've attached a few images that show a bit of the fun, emotion, and majesty she and Eric captured >>

This was our Family’s 4th Year taking our Son Murphy to see Satya and Santa for Christmas photos and it’s one of our favorite traditions. Satya is gifted, warm and so very kind. Each year has been a wonderful experience and our photos have been wonderful! Even if your kiddo is feeling owly or overwhelmed, Satya, Santa and her friendly and talented staff take the time and creatively manage to capture a memory you’ll cherish!

We hired Satya for our Santa images this year and were blown away by the level of preparation, professionalism, and experience provided. She had a team of elves helping run everything on time. The result was a handful of fantastic images and files that we'll have forever. We've had a number of people express regret for not signing up in time after seeing our photos. She books up fast!

This was our first year shooting our Santa/Christmas photos with Satya and we definitely will be back again next year.

Satya and her staff were all very friendly and helpful. Santa was amazing and a good sport with our 1 1/2 year old daughter being afraid of him and crying during the photos. Even with her crying, Satya managed to capture beautiful photos, you can't even tell she was crying in some of them, we absolutely love the photos. Santa also is the most realistic Santa we've ever seen. A definite bonus along with the gorgeous backdrop and props.

We plan to make it a yearly tradition to do our Santa photos with Satya and can't wait until next year.

We used Satya for her Santa Photo Shoot and while it was a little expensive, the experience for our kids and the photos we received was definitely worth every penny. We will 100% be returning next year. The set was beautiful and classy, the Santa was engaging and fun, she even allowed our dog to be a part of the everything. We asked to do a few non-traditional poses (mommy kissing Santa, mom & dad cheers-ing with Santa) and Satya was super flexible with all of our ideas. It was a great experience and Satya does amazing work. We loved all our pictures - she captured our time with Santa perfectly. I highly recommend her.

I've loved getting our photos taken with Santa at Satya's studio the last three years. The set is gorgeous and I love the little props that she provides to keep the kids occupied with Santa. Last year our son wasn't super into Santa but she still got the sweetest shot of him. This year my son loved Santa and we got a great variety of props and cute moments of the two of them together.

Satya also has a large variety of print options available to give as gifts for your friends and family. The experience is lovely at the studio, with champagne, coffee and tea available plus plenty of books and toys for the kiddos to play with while waiting for their session time. Photos come back about a week after the session, with plenty of time to order before Christmas.

We are due with another kiddo next year and will definitely continue to get our holiday photos done with Satya!
