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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We live in California and when we started looking for a photographer for our wedding we didn't think we would book someone who was out of state, but we fell in love with Ashley's editing style and knew we had to have her capture our day. She was amazing to work with, always very responsive and great to communicate with. Me and my husband aren't people who are used to or comfortable being in front of a camera, but Ashley made the whole experience feel so normal that we forgot the camera was even there at times. Our photos came out absolutely stunning, like they were straight out of a magazine. She was amazing at giving us direction without anything being to posey, even the more prompted photos have so much movement and life to them. We will cherish these photos forever and highly recommend Ashley to any couple looking for an exceptional photographer.

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.

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!

Due to Covid-19 my nephews fiancé was stressed about her 2020 wedding. After some accommodations, we decided to have an intimate (smaller) wedding. Hiring Klein’s Photography NW was the best decision we made, as a gift to the couple. The positivity and direction Katy gave was the perfect thing to capture this special moment. She went above and beyond to make sure all the “special” shots were taken, masked and all. 10/10 will hire her for (hopefully) grandchildren photos in the future.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

I was raised in the Pacific Northwest and have lived here for basically my whole life. I fell in love with photography and it’s ability to make time stand still. It has allowed me to meet so many new people and discover so many new places that it has truly become my dream job. I have two littles, and two doggos, and a wonderful and supportive husband.

Samantha is an incredible photographer! I've hired her to be my second photographer at weddings twice, and a third time to assist me when I had a wedding in my third trimester. She works cohesively with my team, is super supportive, dependable, always on time, and genuinely cares for both myself and our couples and ensures that the day runs smoothly and that the couple has the best possible wedding day.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

As a kid it never dawned on me that my obsession with polaroid film, disposable cameras and old family photographs would lead me to being a full time wedding photographer, but here we are and boy do I feel lucky. So who the heck am I? I'm the kid who sat next to you in your high school art class that was WAY too excited for our next project. I'm that friend who loves to laugh till they cry over a silly Parks and Rec meme. I love meeting new people (and will totally hug you the first time I meet you!) and I'll be the old lady who is pretty darn proud of every wrinkle that came her way from smiling way too much.

Jennifer is incredible! She was so kind, personable, responsible and professional. She had two wonderful photographers shoot our wedding who were so easy to work with and excellent. She is very responsive and detail oriented. Highly recommend!

I've been photographing weddings for 25 yeas in 2024! I love capturing authentic moments in true color. I went to college to learn photography and business. I've always wanted to be a photographer, and my studio specializes in weddings, maternity, newborns, and family photography. I believe in capturing all of the milestone moments for you, from when your family begins to when your kids go to college.

If you want to blissfully enjoy your big day without worrying about moments you might miss - I’m your girl. Capturing the candids and in-betweens, and keeping you on cloud nine, all while bouncing around like a ball of energy!

Destini is such a kind and fun photographer. She treats all her clients like friends and genuinely cares for all of them. Her big heart and spunky personality really makes taking photos with her feel so smooth and easy. She lets everyone around her feel comfortable to be totally and completely themselves. I love that about her.
