Hey there! I'm Katie, a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. Capturing magical moments through photography is my passion and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living. My goal is to create beautiful, timeless images that will transport you back to your wedding day every time you look at them. Aside from being a photographer, I'm also a mom to two human kids and 3 fur babies, and I've been married to my high school sweetheart/boy next door for 17 years. I love coffee, Gilmore Girls, and scrolling TikTok ;p

There are hardly words to describe how grateful we are to have worked with Katie! She captured our wedding day in a way that absolutely exceeded our hopes and expectations. She was so easy to work with, super flexible, super communicative, super helpful. She helped us get organized and advised us in ways to help the day run smoothly (both from a photography perspective and from a general logistics point of view as well). Her turn around time on photos was exceptionally quick and we have loved seeing our day through her lens. We cannot recommend Katie enough!!

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, where your best friends and family will come together. A time that you won’t get back. Let us memorialize it for you, so you can relive it with your grandkids forty years later. Our films and photographs capture every moment and will be passed down to your future generations. And anyone that won’t be able to attend your wedding will be able to take part through your wedding film.

JD and his partner were so great! From engagement photos to planning out photos and the flow of the day he was very easy to work with. On our wedding day they were everywhere capturing every moment. We felt very comfortable with them and nothing felt disingenuous. Our deliverable photos and videos were given to us so fast. They were beautiful and so well edited, and contained wonderful surprises. Highly recommend hiring!

BEST FORM OF COMMUNICATION: INQUIRE VIA WEBSITE !! Hello, I am delighted you are here! My name is Rosie.​ I’m deeply passionate about capturing your intimate moments and creating stunning, timeless images that you’ll treasure for years to come. My approach to photography focuses on capturing the essence of naturalness, freedom, love, boldness, brightness, and the richness of the present moment. I believe that every photo should tell a story and evoke emotions that make you smile, laugh, or even shed a tear.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rosie is truly one of the best photographers out there! She is so genuine, authentic, down-to-earth, and creative. All of these qualities and many more made her an absolute joy to work with. She is prompt, professional, and knows what she is doing! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, Rosie captured moments I never could have imagined - but most importantly (and what makes her so good) is that she captured us! My husband and I are a bit shy and reserved when it comes to having photos taken, but she made us feel comfortable and brought out our personalities in both our engagement and wedding photos. Rosie made the perfect timeline for our wedding day to flow seamlessly and captured so many detailed photos that were all stunning. Rosie was also very sensitive about sharing our intimate photos in public platforms. We will be working with her for future photos and highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much for everything!

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). I'm a plus size, super tall queer. I'm detailed and organized, but am laid-back and will pivot quickly to adapt to changing circumstances. I believe in equity and inclusiveness of all loves, body types, and beings.  My favorite movie is Nightmare Before Christmas, I regularly rate dogs' butts, and I believe the highest compliment is being called "scrappy." 

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Daniela was amazing to work with! She got to know us as individuals and as a couple, which allowed her to capture us and our relationship in the most realistic way. Her calm and professional presence helped relax us on our big day, and made sure to check in with us consistently throughout the night. Our pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY, and we are forever grateful to have such a special day captured forever. We can never thank Daniela and her assistant, Sam, for all they have done for us!

Hello! I'm Kendra, the face behind Kendi Photos. My style of wedding photography is a mix of candid and formal shots, ensuring a diverse array of photos in your gallery. My favorite part of wedding photography is being there for all the behind the scenes action that the guests don't get to see, especially intimate first look moments. I edit on the side of bright and true to color, enhancing photos without changing the entire vibe. I serve the Pacific Northwest and am based out of the Portland, OR area.

We have used Kendra for all of our pictures and will continue to use her for everything. Her communication is excellent as well as turn around times are unbelievably quick. She makes the whole process so easy planning, coordinating and executing are seemless. She’s very professional and personable!

I create joyful authentic & bright imagery- capturing what’s uniquely yours! Rooted in my love of nature, my editing style is true-to-color & true-to-the-moment, with the purpose of bringing you right back to the best day of life, all over again, for years to come!

I do not even know where to begin with how amazing our experience was with Taylor. Our wedding was in May 2024 at the Victorian Belle in Portland, and we chose the venue due to the amazing photo opportunities with the beautiful backdrop it provided. As we began to go through the process of picking our photographer, we continuously hit roadblocks. We couldn’t find someone who shared the vision of what we wanted. Or they would be booked on the day of our wedding. We even more than a few begin connecting with us to discuss details, then completely stopped responding. We were truly stressed about what we were going to do- photos are something you cannot miss on a day like this. Enter Taylor. We had our first meeting and after explaining what we would be looking for in terms of style, editing and shots, we felt so at ease that we had made the right decision. She listened to our input, and asked questions that we didn’t think to ask to clarify exactly what was expected. She even made suggestions to help improve our thoughts on what we had in our mind’s eye for the day. Taylor did a wonderful job and we could not wait to see our full album once she sent a few teaser photos after the event. Everything was stunning and came out even better than we imagined. We will be using Taylor for all of our big photo moments moving forward.

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 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

  • Serves Columbia City, OR

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

We asked a lot of Mia - a sunrise shoot in the mountains. She was super accommodating and didn't complain one bit when we bushwhacked our way up a shrub-filled mountain. She was great at helping us pose while staying natural, and we think the photos speak for themselves in terms of quality. We would highly recommend working with Imagine Elopements for any kind of photo event, but especially for adventurous couples looking for someone not afraid of getting a little messy!

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about how happy we are with Skylar...my partner and I agreed hiring her was the best money we spent on our wedding. Photos mean so much to us, and I couldn't be happier that we trusted her for our wedding and engagement photos. She is communicative, friendly, responsive, and punctual. She has amazing instincts and did an incredible job of making us feel relaxed on both of our shoot days. She captures a perfect balance of staged and candid photos with perfect composition. Sneak peeks were provided for our photos and the full libraries were delivered on time in an easy to access format. I appreciated the surveys she sends out to get to know you better before shooting. I genuinely could keep going and going! We chose Skylar because of her offered packages and photographic style and it was absolutely one of the best choices we made throughout the entire process. She is the first recommendation I will give to friends and family; we have received so many compliments on the gorgeous pictures. I am so happy that the precious, priceless memories of our wedding day are captured in such beauty forever! Thank you!!!!!!

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!!
