I am a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Northern Colorado and Western Washington. In my free time I hike, eat lots of food and play with cat & dog. I find photography to be an amazing creative outlet and love using it as a way to connect with some amazing people.

I could not be more grateful for Ashley and her gift of being a brilliant photographer. She was so easy to work with and made the day go seamless with photos. She was super fast in getting us our FULL gallery back and I cannot stop looking at them! She does such beautiful work and now we have amazing photos to look back on for the rest of time. I cannot recommend her enough.

  • Serves Bay City, OR

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.

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.

Photographs are love letters to the heart. I’m here to capture the most important moments of your life from the first anniversary, to the engagement, to the first day of your lives as a married couple. I have been a photographer for 8 years now and I love what I do! Not everyone can say they chose their career at the age of 14 but I feel so lucky enough to say I did. Located in the Seattle/Tacoma area willing to travel anywhere to be your official hype woman!

Allison and her husband was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Allison was organized, energetic, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the photography planning process. On the day of our wedding, when the weather unexpectedly changed and threw off our timeline, Allison remained calm and professional, quickly adapting to the new circumstances and finding creative ways to capture beautiful photos around our venue. She was also a rockstar during the family photo portion of the day, efficiently directing everyone to ensure we got all the necessary shots. Allison's hardworking, organized approach and the high-quality, professional results she delivered made her an incredible value. We are thrilled with the photos from our special day and would highly recommend Allison Lauryn Photography to any couple looking for an amazing 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie captured moments that took my breath away. Her style and skill is every bride’s dream. She delivers everything you adore from those Pinterest and Instagram wedding photos. So there is no question she can deliver what she is looking for. And we are beyond thrilled with all of our photos. The sneak peeks are also so much fun (she sends a batch of photos shortly after she shoots you). But where Lacie shines and what I have to tell you about is everything else. She truly went above and beyond. She’s not just a photographer, she’ll be one of your favorite people on your special day. Yes, Lacie is kind and friendly and comforting and just the kind of person you need on your wedding day (and who you wished you roomed with in college). But she is so much more. Here are just some of the few meaningful things Lacie did that I noticed that I’ll forever carry with me. Firstly, I had a very important rosary I wanted to photograph, and with the chaos, I had forgotten. It would have broken my heart if I left it behind. Lacie remembered. I got fixated on an insignificant hiccup on my wedding day that could have ruined my day. Lacie redirected my attention to the things that really mattered and brightened up my mood immediately. Leading up to the wedding, Lacie advocated for me and my husband ensuring us she was fully dedicated to only us on the day, literally saying “You and Sean are my priority.” Nobody and nothing would take her attention away from us. She was always quick to respond to texts, I could go to her for quick wedding advice, and she’s genuinely so passionate about her craft. Lacie could really be a wedding planner with how much she knows. Other vendors loved working with her, especially our videographers. She was so quick, efficient, and took initiative. She gave them space and skillfully took turns capturing moments with them. With a big wedding party and spacious venue, we kept losing track of people for pictures, Lacie corralled them masterfully. She’s not afraid to get people to focus and get the photos done, but also in the most polite and respectful way. I watched videos of brides saying I wish this or that moment was captured. Sometimes I’d forget whether I had those moments captured myself. Then I go to Lacie’s photos and every single thing that brides mentioned got missed by their photographer she captured for me. Her vibe! She’s so positive and cheery. I was so nervous and also worried about how dark my church was. She got me excited about it after turning it into a positive saying it would look like the theater and she could absolutely work with it. I texted her a shoot list the night before our wedding. She carried that around and took it so seriously making sure she captured everything I listed. I made a Pinterest board of photos I liked and she remembered ones I forgot I included in there. She was my favorite vendor (tied with my incredible florist @dazyflorals) and the vendor I had no worries about it. I didn’t have to check in with her. I could trust her with my eyes closed. She’d be where she needed to be on time, professional, and prepared. I’m going to miss her. Sign her and soak up her sunshine for me, will ya?

I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder.

The second I got engaged I knew who I wanted my wedding photographer to be. Mia is an incredibly talented artist, and I was so excited to work with her. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable through the whole process. I had very specific shots that I wanted to get on our wedding day, and she made every single one happen, as well as offering us other suggestions. She captured our special day beautifully and created a gorgeous album that we will cherish for a lifetime.

I am a wedding photographer based in Providence, Rhode Island. My love for photography began over a decade ago and has been an integral part of my creative journey ever since. With a solid foundation in fashion photography, I bring a unique perspective to capturing weddings. Five years ago, I shot my first wedding, and it was an unforgettable experience. Being part of such a special day and bringing joy to my couples is incredibly important to me. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and significant moments of your wedding day, ensuring that each photograph tells the unique story of your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

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, I'm Hanna! I have been a wedding photographer for the last 4 years, and I can't wait to capture your day. I am based out of Central Oregon, and always ready to travel. I am ready to capture your day from the details, cadids, to your first look and first kiss as a married couple! Cheers to you and your significant other!

I booked Hanna for our September wedding at Pole Creek Ranch in Sisters, OR and she was seriously so amazingggg!!! Our entire wedding party commented on how awesome Hanna was and how fantastic the photos turned out. Photographers can be such a big decision and investment for your wedding day because they are the few vendors whose services you hold onto after the day itself. We had ZERO regrets with Hanna (and we definitely had some regrets with other vendors). She was such a calming, fun, warm, and happy presence on our wedding day. She gave perfect directions for body part placement during shoots (I am especially bad at this and sooo appreciated it) that turned out beautifully. Hanna's got such an eye for lighting and her warm tone overlays were *chefs kiss*. She showed up early and took all the shots I asked for as well as so many beautiful favorites. We had a long engagement and had already done engagement photos by the time I booked with Hanna so we actually didn't meet her until the day of our wedding, but she didn't give me any reason to be worried about that - her communication was stellar. You will not go wrong booking with Hanna!!!

I have made the Seattle area my home for over 10 years now. My passion other than family and photography, is traveling. I want to see everything this world has to show me.

Wow! Samantha is a spectacular photographer! She did beyond an amazing job with our engagement photos and wedding photos! She is well-organized, has an eye for detail, and is really easy to work with! We are amazed with our wedding photos and will cherish them forever! She captured all the special moments of our wedding from photos of getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception, and she truly captured the smiles, love, and happiness of our wedding. My husband and I enjoyed these cherished moments of our wedding and we couldn’t help but smile. She goes beyond from helping with every last detail from taking countless photos to include family and guests and ever got pictures of our horse. She is not afraid to step on a ladder, hike in the forest, or walk in a horse field to get the best photos! I highly recommend her and anyone who has her as their photographer is in the best of hands!

I had the pleasure of working with Marie for my wedding, newborn photos, and holiday photos, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results each and every time! From start to finish, the entire experience is always seamless, professional, and enjoyable. Communication: Right from the initial inquiry, Marie was responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure all my questions were answered promptly. Professionalism: On the day of the wedding or shoot, Marie was punctual, prepared, and had a clear vision for the session. She made me feel at ease immediately and was very patient throughout the process. Whether it was guiding me through poses or letting me just be natural, she struck the perfect balance. Creativity and Skill: The photos speak for themselves! Marie has a fantastic eye for detail and composition. The lighting, framing, and editing were all spot-on, capturing moments in a way that felt both artistic and authentic. Whether it was candid moments or more posed shots, each photo felt personal and unique. Final Product: The final images were delivered on time, and I was blown away by the quality. The editing was flawless, enhancing the photos without overdoing it. It was clear that Marie put a lot of care and effort into the post-processing, and it truly paid off. I can't recommend Marie enough. Whether you're looking for someone to capture a special event, a personal portrait, or any other kind of photography, Wild Elegance is an excellent choice. I’ll definitely be working with Marie again in the future!

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?

I LOVE working with Emily! She's done family photos, branding and headshot photos for me as well. She's incredible! Emily's got a way of putting everyone at ease. And as a florist I really appreciate her true to color editing.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I love capturing the authentic emotions and natural moments that unfold during a wedding. I have been photographing weddings for 5 years now and feel so blessed every time a couples hires me, it’s such an honor! I come in as your photographer but I always feel like family when I leave. You can count on me to be your biggest cheerleader during this process and to beautifully document your day so you can relive these memories for the rest of your lives. I can't wait to work with you!

Holly was the best wedding photographer I have ever worked with, and I have been in at least 9 weddings. She was very skilled- she knew how to help us relax yet get good poses. She was discreet- I don't remember seeing her the entire wedding although she was definitely around as her photographs from many angles show. She got all the shots we wanted yet was not stressed or uptight. She took initiative and was prepared. She was very warm and friendly; we felt really good about having her join our family for the special day. Also her development of our photos was timely and professional. I have no negative things to say, only positive.

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
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

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

Dee is AMAZING!! He is great with communication, and helped make our big day MUCH less stressful! We haven’t gotten our pictures back yet (our wedding was 2 weeks ago), but he showed me some of the photos he took on the day-of and I was STUNNED! He did a great job of making my husband and I feel comfortable, and would come find us throughout the night to pull us aside and take a few quick shots of ideas that came to mind. It was really cool to see, and a fun chance to sneak away and catch our breaths. Lastly, he impressed my husband, who HATES taking photos, and that in and of itself was impressive!! xD Anyway, PLEASE consider Dee for your wedding. He makes the day of MUCH less stressful, he knows how to communicate and wrangle a bunch of people to take amazing photos. He’s just such a great person, and an EXCELLENT photographer! **I will try to update this review once we’ve gotten our photos back!

Thanks so much for taking the time to see if I might be a good fit to photograph your wedding! I've found that one of the most important factors in a great wedding is enjoying the people you surround yourself with. Since I will basically be your third wheel on one of the best days of your life it's important that we click well! That said, some things I’m passionate about include photography(obviously), the NBA, vinyl records, pretty movies and tv shows with no story, and a ton of other stuff. I tend to be pretty enthusiastic so if you think “I wonder if Nate is into..." I likely am!

Nate Meeds was the perfect wedding photographer for us. From the beginning, his communication was quick and easy, making the whole process stress-free. Nate has such a fun, easygoing personality that put us at ease during the photo sessions - which was great, since I don't really enjoy having my picture taken! Despite my discomfort, Nate made it so easy and the final photos turned out amazing. His work is truly great quality and captured all the special moments of our wedding day, especially the epic dance party photos that are unmatched. We are thrilled with how the photos turned out and would highly recommend Nate Meeds to any couple looking for a fantastic wedding photographer.

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!

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
