I am a Portland native through and through! My love for photography rivals only my love of traveling. My interest in photography began at a young age, thanks to my Uncle and 8th grade math teacher. After over 18 years of experience, I have mastered the art of putting my clients at ease and creating an environment for them to be present and most importantly be themselves. I have a deep passion for not only the images I create but for the people I work with. I truly consider it an honor to be a part of someone’s wedding day and the images we create together become reflective memories for the couple, not just snapshots in time.

From the moment we first reached out to Photography By Cambrae, we were impressed by their quick replies and friendly communication style. Cambrae was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, providing us with a detailed timeline to ensure our wedding day photos went smoothly. She was patient and creative when trying to capture photos with our sweet dog River, and made the entire photo session fun and relaxed for everyone involved. Cambrae's attention to detail and ability to pose us perfectly resulted in photos that beautifully captured the joy and love of our special day. We are thrilled with the high-quality work Cambrae delivered and would recommend her to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

PictureMeThisbyLacie was the most amazing photographer we could have dreamed of. Lacie and her husband made our day an absolute breeze!

Oregon Coast based. I love creating a full experience for my couples, and really developing a friendship so we can make your day truly you! Yes, I’ll be dancing at your wedding. I started my business after an incredibly hard personal loss because photos became a huge part of my grief journey. I love capturing the raw and real moments, the ones you look back on and wish you could have forever. Photos are timeless and I love creating small forever moments in time. I care deeply for my clients! If you’re ready to get barefoot, maybe a little messy and live in the moment I’m the photographer for you!

I can't express enough how happy we were to have Renee. She just so happened to be in town the weekend of our wedding so we didn't even have to pay a travel fee which she never had to do! She was a breath of fresh air in actually feeling like she was appreciative to be our photographer. After a long period of planning I was starting to feel like vendors were acting like they could care less to be selected and Renee was COMPLETELY the opposite. She sent us the sweetest personal touches and dug through all her photos to show me examples of photos that really mattered to me. I wanted more candid photos and she did not disappoint. Even when going through a lot in her personal life, she was there 100% on our day which was so amazing and I will have these photos forever to always remind me of our special day. We tried doing some phots before the ceremony and everyone wanted to come say hi or congratulations and Renee was amazing at being my personal bodyguard and keeping people at bay. She is the best!!

Hi there! I'm Brayley, a full-time Traveling Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer who operates primarily in the Western United States, & I would LOVE to be your wedding photographer! 🫶🏼 I grew up & now live in the PNW with my loving spouse & our sweet pup, Forrest, but after doing my undergrad in AZ, I just knew I needed to spend at least part time there, too. I LOVE my work & am passionate about capturing life's precious milestones, & doing so in a way that feels natural & authentic to my clients. Although I love all photography, I specialize in wedding, lifestyle, & business photography with a natural, earthy, classic & candid style.

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my two cats Clara & Leonardo and about a hundred tropical plants 😆🪴 I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas. I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

At the start of my photographer search, I chatted with several different companies to ask my questions. Naomi blew everyone else out of the water and I just clicked with her right away. And it only got better as the journey kept going. She stayed in touch as it got closer to our event date, she offered suggestions, and made sure I didn't need any additional help on the coordination side of things. Now... let's get to the best part, the photo shoot!! OH MY LAWDDDD the pictures came out more dreamy than I could have ever imagined. She has such a great eye for what a good shot will be, isn't afraid to get down and dirty (and maybe accidentally end up in a creek to get the shot), and knows the poses that, to you feel weird, but to the camera, look gorgeous!! Our photos look like they belong in a magazine. She is so talented!!! There's so much more I could say, and I feel like what I have said still just doesn't do her justice. She's the best. Don't go with anyone else!!

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Hey, I'm Emily! A natural light photographer based in Portland Oregon who specializes in true-to-color edits and authentic captures. Like many photogs out there, I picked up a camera really young and haven’t put it down since. I never wanted to forget parts of my childhood and young adulthood, so it became second nature for me to document the things I loved with photographs in a very real and candid way. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t feel luckier that this hobby became a career focused on preserving life’s most precious moments for others. Who will be the girl behind the camera hyping you up while capturing some authentic moments?

Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

My husband and I absolutely adore Marie, she made our wedding celebration so easy going and I cannot wait to work with her again!

We had the BEST experience working with Annaliesse! She’s always so quick to respond to any question we have, and is so helpful with the planning process. From location, timing, outfits, you name it, and she’s there! She’s always on time, has a great attitude, and is so eager to make sure things run smoothly. And her galleries, NEVER disappoint!! The photos she captured of us are absolutely breathtaking, it’s been so hard to pick a favorite because it’s like each one is better than the last!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have been happier with Melissa, from engagement photos to wedding, and since then every annual family photo shoot, she is the best and we gets compliments on our photos year after year! Her fun and creative personality put you at ease and she even is patient with my crazy kids and dogs! I have had friends who use someone cheaper, but they only get a couple of photos or a very restrictive shooting time etc. We love that we don't have to worry about those things, and for the product and service we get the investment is more than fair! Hire Melissa, you'll be glad you did!

We're a married couple team that offers both photography & videography. We stumbled into this as an attempt to find a fun hobby that we enjoyed doing together. We started out by going on little adventure dates with our camera capturing wildlife and scenery. Quickly it developed into capturing moments for family and friends, and then fast forward a few years and we're now mainly serving other couples as they embark on one of the most exciting adventures of their lives- Marriage! We so enjoy connecting with our couples and making sure that we are the best fit for the vision they see on their big day over coffee or a call.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Erica & Jake this weekend as I coordinated a wedding in Vancouver, WA at the Pearson Air Museum. Jake and Erica were SO professional, and communicative! They were such a joy to work with and were such a power team out there all day taking amazing photos and videos! If you're a Wedding Coordinator, or Planner like me I highly recommend working alongside these two! Not only is their portfolio STUNNING but they are so kind and easy to work with!

Skyewater Photo + Film is a photography and videography team based in Washington and Colorado, specializing in adventure elopements and small weddings (75 guests or fewer), with a unique focus on locations and venues that feature the element of water. Our lead photographer Kaitlyn was born in Florida, but with years of experience living in the mountains, Kaitlyn is happiest wherever the water is. She currently lives on the road with her husband and pup Bruiser in their RV, as they search for their dream property in Washington state.

Kaitlyn and her team are incredible! Fun, friendly, professional, know many hidden gems for photos and video; you cannot go wrong with hiring them. Also, they give back to the community (locally and across the globe) which is so very awesome <3

I LOVE photography! I've captured tens of thousands of photographs and every single one of them is a memory. I recall everything about the times those photos were taken. I treat my clients' photos in the same, caring manner... that the memories I'm capturing for you are also cherished memories for me

My husband and I have worked with Dee several times over the years. he is so much fun to work with. His photos are always worth the wait and impress every time they are shown. He has such a great eye for capturing perfect moments. If you are looking to book with him and are unsure of a time frame, definitely ask for his opinion. He has done so many weddings and elopements all over the coast, he knows what hes doing and what hes talking about. Can't recommend enough!

I'm a Colorado-based wedding and elopement photographer! My approach is all about delivering a gallery that never goes out of style. It is my mission to capture the real you in a timeless, effortless, and intentional way. I'll be more than just a photographer - I am your weather stalker, tissue holder, dress bustler, location finder, defender, timeline planner, hype woman, rogue eyelash fixer, tie straightener, lipstick holder, water provider, confidant, and more. All of this and more I do for you because I love serving the smitten, joyous, wandering lovers.

Claire goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease as a couple on your wedding day. We started off with Claire doing our engagement shoot and could not even imagine not booking her for the wedding as well regardless of what state each of us were in. She spends time to get to know her couples which sets her apart from any other photographer we inquired with. She truly is just amazing at what she does and even better, an amazing genuine person. Every single picture that was captured between our engagement photoshoot and wedding truly depicted the exact essence of how the day, the moments, and the emotions felt. I cannot say enough positive things about Claire and will forever be grateful for having crossed paths with such a good and talented human being 3
