My husband and I booked Trace and Maria for both our engagement photos and our wedding day photography. Both of us are fairly uncomfortable in front of the camera but they made the whole process so seamless and easy. Additionally, they helped immensely with planning our wedding day by providing a rough outline of their timeframe needs, which made the scheduling process much easier. Overall, we have only positive things to say about The Cusick Co., our photos are beautiful and authentic, and Trace & Maria are a delight to work with.

Maria and Trace are absolutely amazing! My husband and I got married in October and decided last minute to book a videographer, something we weren’t sure we needed at first but realized we would regret not having. We reached out to the Cusicks to check their availability, and we were so lucky they were free for our wedding day! They responded quickly, answered all our questions, and made the entire process seamless. On the wedding day, they captured everything we hoped for—and so much more—perfectly preserving the magic of our special day. We couldn’t be happier with their work!! If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer, we highly recommend Maria and Trace. You won’t regret it!

Maria and Trace did the most amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! Not only are they unbelievably cool and nice people, but their photography blew us away. They made us feel comfortable and helped bring our vision to life. They even carried around our Polariod camera throughout the day to take candid shots, which we are absolutely in love with. Their rates were affordable and on our wedding day when we adjusted the schedule, they were understanding and flexible. We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with them!!

Maria and Trace are amazing! My wife and I booked them for our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding and the pictures they took were unbelievably good. They both are without a doubt extremely professional, but they make you feel like family at the same time. I would not hesitate for one minute to recommend The Cusick Co. to anyone in need of an intimate photo session.

They are truthfully, the absolute best. They work so hard to make your vision perfect and I wouldn't have gone with anyone else. It was a no Brainer picking them as I had worked with Maria before. They are insanely helpful and will make sure your day goes perfectly. They knew what vibes we were going for and I can say I trusted their opinions and vision completely. Our video was insanely beautiful and I cry everytime I watch it. You'll get amazing posed photos as well as candids. Plus Trace and Maria are just amazing, awesome people. They become your best friends during the whole thing and make you feel so comfortable! They are my husband's and I's photographers for life.

10/10 in every aspect. They are incredible at what they do on top of being wonderful people. They are so helpful for those who may be shy behind the camera, and so kind that we feel like we gained friends after our engagement shoot and wedding! We couldn’t recommend them more and they made our special day even better by blending seamlessly into our guests to take wonderful candid photos.

Maria and Trace are undoubtedly the best photography/videography couple out there! Both my wife and I are not the most comfortable having photos taken but Maria and Trace put us at ease instantly. It was like hanging out with life-long friends. They made us feel like actual models from the start. Maria scouted the best area for our engagement session and Trace captured some amazing footage. Their skills are undeniable and would be a priceless addition to any occasion. They continued to blow us away with our wedding gallery and videos. Each photo was better than the last! We can't even decide on which is our favorite - they are all that good. If you want to work with the most kind-hearted and caring couple, who also have world-class photography/videography talent, you have to book The Cusick Co! We already can't wait to book them for future photo sessions!

This photography duo is one of the most adventurous, creative, and laid-back photographers i have encountered in a while. They were very helpful and made the whole shoot run by smoothly. They were ready to explore new spots on Mt.Rainier even putting themselves in an uncomfortable time crunch to get the photos we needed finished. I would definitely 10/10 would recommend this duo if your looking for a magical outdoorsy wedding!

The most loving and kind human beings ever! I hate pictures and don't know how to loosen up, so I'm pretty much just awkward and weird but Maria made everything so amazing and easy for us! She had a little speaker playing music for us so we can feel more intimate and loving towards each other, and on top of it all her husband's videography is one of a kind. My wedding couldn't have been photographed by a better company.

Maria and Trace have such a special gift! My husband is very uncomfortable in front of the camera and they completely put him at ease and gave very clear directions, taking all the pressure off of him. I can only describe their work as magical. They take the time to get to know you, your story, your preferences and then they deliver the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen. I would not trust anyone else with taking our photos for any special occasion and cannot recommend Maria and Trace enough. 100/10 recommend… thank me later!

Maria was an amazing addition to our day! She was so thoughtful and creative with our destination wedding, planning out the perfect back drops and scenery in an area we were not familiar with. She listened to what we wanted and delivered big time! I find myself welling up looking at the photos because she captured such intimacy and love on our special day. There are not enough thankful words to say towards her, I hope if you’re reading this and thinking about working with Maria that you say yes! You simply will have the most magical moments captured forever.

Our session with Maria could not have been more magical. From our initial interactions, Maria was super accommodating and responsive. She listened to all of our questions and concerns, and addressed all of it with grace. The location was jaw droppingly beautiful, Maria and her assistant/husband did an amazing job at subtly breaking down our barriers and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend shooting with Maria, her kindness and professionalism is unmatched in my experience. Thank you, Maria!

Maria is going to give you the BEST client experience ever! This was our first time having professional pictures done as a couple and my fiancé and I were actually really nervous for it, but we were so comfortable being our goofy selves with Maria! PLUS our pictures turned out so much better than we could have ever imagined. I don't know how she did it but Maria captured our love so perfectly, we'll cherish these pictures forever!!!

My husband and I renewed our vows last October, and this INCREDIBLE photographer replicated every special moment with intricate detail, emotional color, and honestly magic
She was an absolute gem to work with, so kind, good at giving direction (which is so helpful for not-so-photogenic people like me), well organized in her photo shoots, and just a wizard behind a camera. What’s funny is, we couldn’t have picked a colder day to renew our vows (28 degrees) and I wore a sleeveless dress (dumb). To be honest that’s almost all I can remember about our vow renewal, haha I was sure our pictures would highlight all the goosebumps- NOT SO. I mean WOW, the moments she captured that day tell the whole story (that I couldn’t remember because of the brain freeze), recall the emotion of the day, and reign in the sunlight in the most ethereal ways.
I cannot recommend this girl enough! I should honestly carry around some business cards for her because I keep getting compliments on these pictures! thanks, Maria, for being the keeper of the beauty that day.

Maria was a joy to work with from start to finish. I loved the photos I saw of her work on her website, and the photos of our engagement and wedding lived up to expectations. We got a wonderful mix of traditional and artistic photos, please both me and my husband. Our wedding took place a few weeks into Covid and Maria was great about switching locations and times, to make it work around our new restrictions. We love having her photos to remember our amazing day!

Maria captured our family so perfectly. She made the shoot enjoyable for my non-photo loving husband and so fun for my wild kids. The photos show who each of us are as people.
I am so thankful we found her.

I really enjoyed having Maria take my photographs. I am a photographer myself and absolutely hateeee having my photo taken but with Maria, she created a very comfortable environment that allowed me to not be self-conscious. She was amazingly patient with my dogs (who were crazily tunning everywhere) and was able to capture the most wonderful candids. I never like smiling at the camera and she captured the most amazing raw images of our little family. Maria gifted us with beautiful candid photos that we will cherish forever
