Hi! My name is Bailey and I am the owner of Baileaves Photography. I am a travel and destination wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I travel all over the world to create timeless cinematic images of couples.

We are so grateful to have had Bailey as our wedding photographer. She was very kind, respectful, and professional. My partner and I loved how encouraging and supportive she was. We appreciated how and where she posed us, taking into consideration where the lighting was going, especially since we had many passing clouds affecting the sun exposure. As a result, she got a lot of wonderful pictures with gorgeous dappled lighting and beautiful greenery. She sent us previews of our wedding within 48 hours and she sent us the rest of our photos by the deadline she communicated with us at the beginning. Knowing how awesome our previews turned out, it was no surprise that the rest of our photos also turned out as amazing. We are very happy to have worked with her! Thanks, Bailey!!

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam was our girl from the beginning. She encouraged our pups in our engagement photos and worked around their lack of being photogenic. She pushed us, comfortably, out of our comfort zone. She was found by my Maid of Honor on Instagram and I immediately knew her style was what I had been looking for. When it came to wedding day I was most excited to see not only our photographer, but a friend. She was supportive, easy to work with and guided us in the right direction when needed. She knocked out our photos in a timely manor while positioning and giving great direction as to where to move to make the picture look better (something that was important to me). I am happy to scream her name for recommendations from now on & return to her in the future!

We've been photographing and videotaping weddings and events for over 24 years. We really enjoy being able to document a this special time in a couple's beginning. Often times we become friends with them and get to follow their life journey after the wedding by also documenting other special moments like births, birthdays and more.

Working with Jamie and Crystalline Photography & Video was amazing! She was so communicative during the preparation process and after the wedding. During the wedding, she made sure we knew that she was on top of things and assisted where needed, but then we barely saw her or her team which was exactly what we needed to be able to enjoy the wedding! Afterwards, she sent us an online gallery of photos so we could look at them as well as our highlight reel while we were waiting for the video and the rest of the photos, all which she communicated via email in detail. Jamie also sent me reminders of when payments were due (and as a forgetful ADHD bride, I greatly appreciated that). Jamie and her team produced INCREDIBLE work and I’m so happy I picked Crystalline Photography & Video to document our wedding! Thank you!!

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

My first wedding day to capture was two years after I had started freelancing; a day I will never forget, Valentine's Day, 2014, in Hot Springs, AR. Little did I know how my focus would shift from that day forward. In the past seven years since then, I am honored to have captured more than three-dozen weddings. It never fails that each of those days are full of such unique beauty and character, but most importantly, they are full of loving memories of a lifetime.

I have worked with Jackie many times, but our wedding is one of my favorites. She is so easy to work with, she was so much more than a photographer and helped me throughout the day and was still able to catch THE moments. Our pictures were perfect.

When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

Mariah, with Mariah R. Photography and Film, was so amazing and made me feel like a true princess/queen on my wedding day. Prior to the wedding day, she communicated openly with me about everything and made sure I was ready to go. She provided me with example timelines to help plan my day which was extremely helpful!!! Before heading to my location, she had messaged me and asked if I needed anything before she arrived. Once Mariah had gotten there, she calmed my nerves, reassured me when my anxiety was heightened during the chaos, and communicated with me about every thing I needed. She captured my day perfectly. She was my number one supporter through the whole day! I just can’t boast about her enough. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend her to capture your special moments. You seriously won’t regret it.

Hi I’m Kari! I am an elopement and wedding photographer based in Texas but I am available to travel!!! Love has so much beauty and comes in so many forms which is why I love capturing it so much. Its never the same and everyone has their own love story. Telling that story is what I was meant for. Capturing the details, the raw moments, the beautiful imperfect moments, the moments that are filled with so much emotion and the moments you don’t get to see is what I was made for.

Kari was a dream to work with! We were scrambling to make new plans after rescheduling our original plans due to COVID and she took a huge weight off of our shoulders. She helped us put together an idyllic elopement in about 2 months. The day before the wedding, she scoped out the location and sent me pictures so I could be involved in the process, which I really appreciated! I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding day - it was absolutely perfect! And Kari captured the moments so wonderfully, you can really feel all the emotions when you look at the pictures! Thank you, Kari! We appreciate you!!!!

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

I am a destination wedding & elopement photographer + planner based in New Mexico. I am originally from the small college town of Lexington, Kentucky, but before long my family moved to Toronto, Canada. Fast forward a handful of years, we moved to Nashville where I finished up elementary school and attended high school. I graduated from UTK in the spring of May 2020 with a BS in marketing and a collateral in entrepreneurship. After graduation I moved down to Florida to be with my partner who is stationed in the area and this past year we got moved to NM! I am an avid traveler & learner!

Audrey is the best. She went above and beyond for my wedding which seemed so natural that she must do it for all. We had 3 phone calls since we lived far away. Ahead of the wedding she put together detailed timelines for myself and all those involved. We made edits together and we explored different package options. I had a large wedding where my Husband and I were getting ready at different locations, a Catholic Church Ceremony and a different location for reception. Audrey managed with ease. She has the calmest demeanor and the best art came from the day. I received “Sneak Peaks” of almost 80 photos within 2 days which was a shock to me. Upon opening them, the photographs were so beautiful we couldn’t even believe these were from our day. I HIGHLY recommend Audrey for your wedding. Big or Small, Formal or Informal. She is the girl. BTW her second shooter, Lauren quite literally saved our wedding ceremony when I forgot the rings. Lauren tracked down the limo driver and delivered the rings discreetly to the alter!

I am a fine art photographer living in the United States. I am currently based in Florida and have a studio in Tampa, FL. I was born in Cuba but moved to Orlando with my large family in '97. I started my photography in 2015 but have been involved with being on both sides of the lens and learning photography since 2011. Photography remains my #1 passion and I am looking forward to all adventures that come with it. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions

The team of photographers at Stella Studios is amazing to work with. First of all, they're quality of work as well as the quality of individuals you'll have is off the charts. Also, they have bilingual staff in Spanish if you're looking for great communication on both languages. Definitely recommend them.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

Jessica did an amazing job with our wedding photos! She made sure that we planned all of the portraits we would want ahead of time so that the day flowed nicely. We have only seen our preview photos so far but are blown away with how beautiful they look! Would recommend for any wedding!

Hello! I'm Melissa, a passionate wedding photographer. With a love for storytelling and capturing authentic moments; I'll document your love story in a way that's uniquely you. I believe that photos are more than just images; they're memories that you'll treasure forever. Let's create some magic together!

Her work is INCREDIBLE and her prices are more than reasonable (we’re starving grad students and Melissa didn’t make us feel like we were gonna have to sell a kidney to pay for her). Her work is beautiful, she’s fun and sweet and I had a great, no pressure, sweet time with her while she photographed our wedding.

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

Lauren Ashlie Imagery provided amazing photography for our wedding day. Her communication was efficient, clear, and prompt throughout the entire process making it so easy to work with her. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are so natural and detailed, capturing all the special moments beautifully. She also sent the sneak peak photos, along with the full portfolio, in a timely manner. Lauren was able to make me feel so relaxed and beautiful in front of the camera. I highly recommend Lauren Ashlie Imagery to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.
