I'm thrilled you are here! If you like what you see - let's chat. I make sure I have time to consult almost any day of the week to give you answers and peace of mind. Russian born, Europe grown chose PNW as my home. As of today I'm proud to show weddings I shot in PNW, California, Italy, Hungary, Russia, and Spain, the experience of working in such various market made me adaptable to different needs. I believe that high quality art can in fact go hand in hand with seamless and hassle-free process. There is so much to worry about during wedding preparations, leave the photography part to me.

We couldn’t be more happy we booked with Maria, she is very talented and has an eye for detail. She took the time to pick the perfect shots and went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect pictures for our wedding day. She also has a wonderful personality which just made our experience and day even more fun. We highly recommend her.

We're Hunter and Lindsey Wickert! We're a husband and wife photographer team based out of Vancouver, Washington! We love doing what we do best— we make your photos feel like your memories. Whether that means walking along the beach near Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach with you, snow-shoeing up at the foot of Mt. St. Helens for your Engagement Photoshoot, following you down the aisle in some of our gorgeous Pacific Northwest scenery, or playing in piles of leaves for your beautiful family photos and getting those magical shots. We want you to be able to look back at our work and feel exactly how you felt the moment we took them.

The Wickerts Photography is an amazing option for natural and light photos. I was amazed by how perfectly the photos were edited, as well as the kind energy put in by Lindsey. She was sure to get all the photos that I needed while making sure the couple was comfortable.

Hey I'm Liz! I've been in business as a wedding and portrait photographer since 2015, and have had a camera in my hand since the days before digital. After nine years in the industry my brain is absolutely full of specific knowledge I can only use for weddings, so please please use me as a resource. I live outside Portland with my Husband, kids, dog and cat. In my free time you can find me at a Mexican restaurant, a Movie Theater, or in any body of water. As an aging Millennial I've also recently gotten into retirement hobbies like birding and gardening.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liz was so easy to work with. She took our engagement photos and wedding photos. During our wedding planning session as a bride I was all over the place but she was able to help figure out photos that were needed and set a timeline with me. On the day of our wedding, it seemed that time sped up and there was a million things to do. As our timeline didn’t go as planned, most weddings don’t, Liz was able to think on her feet and get a new timeline so we were able to get all of our shots in that we wanted and still be able to enjoy our wedding, dancing, guest and each other. After getting our photos back many of our family and friends mentioned how wonderful Liz was, her attention to detail and how they would love to use her in the future. Whenever we talk about future photo shoots that we want, Liz is always brought up and will be the first to call when we need new photos!

Hi, I’m Kyle. I’m Northwest born, Portland based, and like to think that I have pines trees sprouting from my skin and sun-soaked glacial runoff coursing through my veins. Aside from photographing weddings, I enjoy strenuous hikes with a view as much as indie flicks, comic books, carving powdery slopes, rock climbing, and Trail Blazers games. I like to share these details because I strongly believe that connecting with the couples I collaborate with is integral to the creative process of photographing a wedding. A strong connection will result in the best images possible.

We hired Kyle to photograph our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! Not only are we extremely happy with/impressed by our photos (they are truly stunning), we are so appreciative of Kyle’s excellent communication, thoughtfulness, and overall professionalism. Kyle made the process very clear and stress-free. In our first conversation, Kyle took the time to get to know us and our vision for the wedding before walking us through his portfolio— and as we moved forward, he regularly checked in, made helpful suggestions, and answered all of our questions quickly. Finally, on the day of our wedding Kyle made us (two very camera-shy people) totally comfortable. As we got swept up in the rest of the day, we could stay totally present with each other and our guests because Kyle had been with us every step of the way. If you are thinking about hiring Kyle, don’t hesitate— we loved working with him and we love our photos!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Brightwood, OR

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + intimate weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people in love have the wedding of their dreams in magical outdoor spaces. When you choose to elope, you’re choosing to get married free of society’s wedding day expectations. So go wild! Spend the entire day in your favorite place, with your favorite person. Wear a fancy outfit, or wear your hiking boots. Invite your dog instead of your mom’s second cousin. Share your first kiss under the stars instead of under an altar. In the great outdoors, you write the wedding rules. And I’m here to help make it an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began looking for a photographer for our micro-wedding, we gravitated towards Nadia’s images over and over again. Not only did they capture raw, intimate moments between couples and families, but they elevated those moments in elegant and natural landscapes of the PNW; everything we wanted. We reached out and set up a consultation call immediately. We were initially nervous and felt very unprepared to speak with photographers because we had zero ideas for what our special day would look like, but after our call with Nadia we were confident that Venture Ever After was the right choice for us. She was so knowledgeable and did a TON of legwork planning our timeline to best capture the moments we wanted in the lighting we needed, recommending a variety of locations for some private moments as a couple and group activities with our family, and keeping us grounded and calm throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Nadia took the reigns and gently guided us through the day with compassion and grace. She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details. She even conquered some pretty crazy heights armed with multiple cameras and a walky-talky to capture some dramatic and beautiful couple’s portraits. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Nadia is one of the most genuine and kind people I’ve met. She has a knack for keeping elopement/wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. My partner and I truly felt like models. I feel so blessed to have our wedding photographed by her and, above all, be able to call her a friend. I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW. In fact, I hope to be able to visit her and capture anniversaries and momentous occasions for our family long into the future.

I'm Val - I value authenticity, connection, and love. I feel so lucky to spend my days photographing weddings, traveling to new places, and witnessing couples sharing their heart. I can’t think of a better way to spend my days. As someone who is married, I deeply understand how significant and special a wedding day truly is. It’s about the love, the people, and all the emotions felt—the moments you’ll cherish and reminisce for decades to come.

I first met Valerie when she was photographing my friend's elopement, and she really made the day even more special. Her photos turned out absolutely amazing! I couldn't wait for a chance to hire her for my own engagement or elopement. So, when the opportunity came up for a fun couples shoot, I jumped on it. Having her shoot us felt like just my boyfriend and I alone – super relaxed and no awkwardness in front of the camera. Once again, her photos blew us away. We're totally obsessed and definitely planning to book her for our engagement or wedding, maybe even both!

Hey babes, I'm Khali! I'm a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon capturing ALLLLL the love! I love candid, raw and authentic moments. My photography shouldn't feel posed or unnatural. It should be all about documenting you for who you really are; whatever your love language may be. I will always do everything I can to make sure your day is spectacular. Transparency is super important to me, so if you have any questions - just ask!

I have been a wedding planner in the Portland area since 2016 and work with one of the largest and oldest wedding planning groups in the PNW, Your Perfect Bridesmaid. I’ve have the pleasure of working with many photographers in the last few years, some stand out but none like Khali. She and I were lucky enough to work a very beautiful, unique, but challenging, wedding this fall and she more than delivered for the client while supporting me and my team. Her communication, professionalism, relationships with vendors and clients is unparalleled. Not only will you get phenomenal photographic memories to keep for the rest of your life, you’ll likely get a friend out of the decision to work with her as well!

Definitely one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. We had Ann Marie do our engagement photos and we loved her from the start and loved how they came out. We were devastated when we found out she was already booked for our wedding date, but she got us set up with one of her associates Elena at a discounted rate. Even though she wasn't going to be there on our big day she still put in so much effort to help us decide the timeline and the shot list. She kept in contact with us the whole time and really made us feel confident about the big day. She will still be doing the editing in her style and we are absolutely thrilled with the sneak peek shots we've gotten so far! She even threw in an extra photographer for us for free which was incredibly kind of her, although unfortunately that photographer was sick on the day of the wedding so we still ended up with just one. But Elena was great and made us feel totally at ease and got every shot on the list. She kept everything running on time despite the timeline having been created for two photographers. Ann Marie and Elena were a dream team to work with and I can't say enough good things about them.

Love knows no bounds. Every person is deserving of love and deserving of having it captured perfectly. I believe in equality. I believe in living simply and loving deeply. I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

Bethany Bloem Photography was the perfect choice for our vow renewal. From the very beginning, Bethany and her team were super attentive, helpful, and friendly - always quick to respond to our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. It was in Yosemite National Park, they expertly directed us into beautiful poses and made the most of the stunning location, capturing perfection in every shot. The final photos were absolutely awesome and worth every penny - we are thrilled with how they documented our special day.

Hey!! I am a native Oregonian that grew up taking film photos with my dad when we would go on road trips! My love and passion for photography has grown since then and I have come to realize my favorite thing about being a photographer are all the relationships and connections I am able to make! I have made some of the best lifelong friends from shooting weddings and families. I always love a crowd and love getting to know the people I work with

Sarah took stunning maternity photos for me at a stunning location! But what I really appreciated was how fun and easy it was. They look natural and felt natural. Even my photo-hesitant partner had a good time and laughed throughout. We’ve never been so comfortable in front of the camera. Can’t wait to get more photos by Sarah in the future!

Every individual has a unique tale, and mine is quite the whirlwind! When I was 5, my family left our Michigan home and has been on the move ever since. After living across the globe, I now proudly call Oregon my home sweet home with my wonderful husband, our sweet daughter, and our White German Shepherd! My journey toward becoming a wedding photographer is fueled by my romantic spirit, hope for deep connections, and wandering the world in pursuit of love. The idea of spreading love near and far, and passing on that love through generations puts a smile on my face every day.

I hired Lauren as my wedding photographer for my wedding in June of 2024 and truly can't find the words to accurately describe how incredible she was. Capturing the memories of our day was such an important piece of our wedding and we really did not take our photographer selection lightly. My husband and I are also not the most comfortable people around a camera, so I wanted to find someone who was not only a talented and creative photographer, but also someone who would make us feel comfortable. Lauren went above and beyond at doing that. She captured the big moments beautifully, but also captured the small intimate moments. I was amazed looking back at some of the photos, because I hadn't even realized she was there taking them. She was mindful of all the shots we requested, but also came to us with poses and ideas that ended up being some of our favorite photos from the wedding. She was so communicative with planning and I always felt like we were in good hands, not to mention she sent us sneak peek photos before I had even washed my wedding makeup off that night! Her energy was infectious and she melted into our day so effortlessly. I am so beyond happy we chose Lauren and will recommend her to everyone looking for a photographer to capture their most special moments!

Forget tradition. Screw the rules. You deserve photos that reflect your life, personality, and style, not some cookie-cutter session that looks like everyone else's. My name is Daniela (she/her).

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!

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?

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm so glad that we hired Emily (Simply Wandering Photo) for our wedding. From the first email, she was super responsive and helpful. Neither of us had ever had professional photos taken so we did an engagement shoot with Em before the wedding, and it was fantastic. We were both worried about being awkward (isn't everybody?) and it feeling forced, but she directed us with such ease and confidence that it felt like a breeze - and the photos are perfect. Same for the wedding. Ours was a relatively small backyard-type wedding, and she did a wonderful job of capturing the day, our emotions, the ceremony, family, and the whole setting overall. She's got fantastic photo skills and maybe even more importantly, awesome people skills! Her communication was clear, consistent, and timely, she had tons of suggestions/tips and helpful info, and she just led us through the whole process as if she'd been doing it her whole life. 10/10, definitely recommend.

I am a wedding planning/ coordination liaison that recently worked with Jessica June for a wedding at Camp Colton . Jess was a very fantastic photographer with a pleasant, down to earth, easy-going attitude. I enjoyed chatting with her about composition and more as we toured the property/ and throughout the evening as the timeline progressed. She recently shared her images from that day, and I loved her work! Very thorough, some great creative edits, and she was able to capture wonderful expressions and heartfelt candid moments- (many guests too- not just the wedding party;) I would recommend her to be a part of your wedding day DreamTeam!

As the Mother of the Bride, i cannot say enough about Helen, our wedding photographer. When my daughter and her husband researched photographers, they were drawn to Helen's photos and her editing skills. And the fact that she was competitively but reasonably priced was a plus. During the planning process she was very accessible, and answered emails with complete and clear information. She is a warm and friendly person, but at the same time very professional. She had several virtual meetings with the bride and groom, and took care of every detail so that by the big day, we knew what to expect. During the wedding and reception, Helen was there to get the best shots without ever being in anyone's way. She emailed some beautiful shots after a few days, and then it only took three weeks to get the entire portfolio sent back to us! The newlyweds are absolutely in love with their photos. These pictures captured feelings and emotions, as well as wonderful visions of a perfect day. The wedding was at TImberline/Mt. Hood, and since Helen is a master of nature photography, the end result was perfect. I cannot recommend Anchor and Pine Collective enough!

Hey! I'm Sharlee, an adventure & pet-friendly elopement photographer based in Oregon. I have a background as a vet tech+ I'm an avid lover of hiking, camping, climbing, or anything outside. I am passionate about helping couples feel empowered to “break from tradition and create a wedding of your own” Whether that's exploring a new place together, cuddling in a cabin, or sharing a favorite food - I want your wedding day to feel authentic to YOUR relationship and what makes elopements so special. Being able to provide you with a fun, enjoyable experience & beautiful images that look like your own piece of art is what makes me beam.

We had a wonderful experience with Unleashed Elopements as our adventure elopement photographer. Sharlee was extremely personable and supportive throughout the planning process (and our unexpected changes of plans!), patiently answering all of our questions. On our big day, she captured breathtaking photos that we will treasure forever. The images are true art and perfectly encapsulate the special details and memories of our special day. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and the entire experience. Unleashed Elopements comes highly recommended for any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer to beautifully document your adventure elopement memories.

Photography Avec Meg 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Brightwood, OR

Sophisticated and timeless fine art photography based in Portland, Oregon. With over ten years of experience, Photography Avec Meg specializes in wedding and engagement photography. Megan’s style combines natural and airy techniques and an emphasis on capturing candid moments with elegance.

It was an absolute delight to have Meg photograph our wedding. She is thoughtful and sweet, and so easy to work with. My husband and I met with her to do engagement photos to make sure we’d be a good fit and Meg immediately put us both at ease (although we did our engagement session at a winery so the pinot may have had something to do with that as well). On our wedding day she was a cool, calming presence behind the lens, and even in our most intimate moments I never felt the camera was intrusive. We forgot she was there, and I think that’s one of the best compliments I can give. We love her light, natural photography style, and she has captured so many beautiful moments that we will treasure forever. We’re both very glad she was able to share our special day with us, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

SK Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Brightwood, OR

As a photographer, my ultimate goal is to create images that have that same “time machine” effect. I aim to capture moments that can be relived through a single photograph: the smell of your newborn's hair, the softness of their ears, or the pounding of your heart on your wedding day. I want my work to serve you for a lifetime, in ways you might not expect. It's an honor to be part of your story, and I hope my work will touch your family’s lives for generations.

SK Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, her bubbly and easy-going communication style put us at ease and made the entire process feel effortless. The quality of their work was truly magical - the photos they captured were euphoric and top-notch, as if they had three people working simultaneously to document every moment. They adapted seamlessly with us as needed, making us feel like we were the only ones that mattered in that special moment. Once you hire SK Photography, you'll never want to use anyone else for your photography needs. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. To capture a single moment while telling a beautiful love story is something I will cherish forever. I'm a born and raised oregonian. I love the outdoors. Most days you can find me at the local coffee shop, working out, or going thrift shopping. I love trail running, kayaking, and traveling.

As a wedding planner, I’ve enjoyed working with Kara. She produces such beautiful work—I love the aesthetic, modern vibe, and composition of her photos. She is super relaxed and goes with the flow, which helps keep the day running smoothly. She is a photographer I recommend to my clients!

Based in the PNW, I'm a seasoned photographer with 17+ years crafting love stories through weddings and portraits. Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do." Immerse yourself in the art of storytelling through my lens, turning your wedding day dreams into timeless memories.

I've had the pleasure of working with Joie from Simple Joie Photography in the capacity of a vendor. I'm a wedding planner and work with a lot of different photographers. Joie stands out as excellent due to her extreme addition to detail, bubbly personality, and beautifully captured photographs. Her style showcases the natural light and colors of her subjects and the background. Her ability to make couples feel at-ease creates an enjoyable atmosphere on a day which can be both the best day and also a stressful one. I would 100% recommend Joie for your wedding day if you are looking for someone who will deliver beautiful, well-compositioned, and detail-oriented photographs while also making you feel like she's your best girlfriend. She will keep you smiling and laughing the whole time and you will be wowed at the final result. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Adventure Stories

  • Serves Brightwood, OR

Our story began with our mutual love of craft beer at a small brewery in Portland, Oregon. We met on a double-blind date and while our friends and the other half of the date never spoke again, we never stopped talking (and yes, pickup lines involving beer do work apparently!). Even though craft beer can strengthen just about any relationship, our shared love of adventure sealed the deal. We spent the next few years of our whirlwind romance exploring the Pacific Northwest

We hired Adventure Stories for both their photography and videography services for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! We enjoyed working with both Megan and Vishnu every step of the wedding planning process. From our first emails, to the actual day of the wedding, Megan and Vishnu were both friendly and professional. We had to work through many changes to our wedding due to Covid-19, and Megan and Vishnu were there to help and support us through every change. When we had questions or requests, Megan and Vishnu were there to help us, and were very flexible and caring. We appreciate the careful consideration they take when approaching each couple and client's story, that was one of the things that set them apart for us. Megan and Vishnu very much focus on telling your story! Their work is not only extremely beautiful, but is created with the couple/client in mind. We could not recommend Adventure Stories more, and we highly suggest hiring them as a pair, as they were a joy to work with as a couple!
