Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

I cannot say enough good things about our photographer/videographer from sound originals. Our photographer was on it. She paid attention to details, she hyped us all up and never made us feel awkward, communication was excellent, she even helped me put my veil on. Above all else the photographs she captured exceeded every expectation I had. I am the kind of person to take a million pictures of myself and hate them all, but I looked beautiful in every picture. My confidence after seeing those pictures has skyrocketed. She was a true gem of a human, the sidekick every bride needs. She knew when I had enough of posing for photos and wanted to get back to the party, and she never made us feel bad about it at all. I wish for every bride to have an amazing team behind them and just know if you choose to go with sound originals, you will.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing experience working with the Wickerts for our wedding. Their communication style was professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout the process. They were passionate about capturing beautiful, human moments. As a fellow photographer, I appreciate the beauty of their work; the final images are clear, polished, and rich. We are typically a camera-shy couple, but the Wickerts made us feel comfortable and had us laughing. They did a wonderful job of directing the shoot and incorporating our ideas. We are thrilled with our final photo gallery and highly recommend services. We are working with them again on our wedding!

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!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Happy Valley, 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.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Val was beyond incredible as our wedding photographer! She flew all the way to Florida to capture our special day, and she made us feel so at ease from the get-go. Her energy was infectious, and she had us laughing and enjoying ourselves the whole time. Val was super prepared, knowing exactly where we needed to be and who we needed to be with during the shoot, making it all so seamless and stress-free. She even brought us a locket to add to the bridge where we were capturing photos. Something I so badly wanted but in the midst of everything..I forgot! She pays attention to those details. It was like having a friend there who just happened to be a photo wizard. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing every beautiful moment perfectly. I have been married over a year now and I still look at these photos all the time. If you want a photographer who makes your day fun and captures it beautifully, Val is your girl! PS. She also did my engagement photos and from there on I wanted her to capture every big moment in our lives!

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 Javi were amazing to work with! My fiancé and I had never had professional photos taken together, and they made us feel completely comfortable for an engagement shoot! By taking into account our inspiration shots and helping us to achieve our photo goals via easy prompts, we got back the most beautiful pictures. They even took the time to play music we loved and add a personal touch to the experience. We’d highly recommend working with this team for your photo and video needs!

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. Bethany Bloem Photography is simply the best and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

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."

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.

We had booked another photographer whom we were no longer able to get in communication with closer to our wedding and but some luck found Joie who happened to be available on our wedding date! We were so lucky we found her when we did because Joie helped us tie up loose ends on our timeline and gave us ideas on best photo times and scenarios. We were also able to squeeze in a beautiful engagement session in San Francisco. We loved the city but Joie gave us some great insights on where to actually take the photos. On our wedding day, Joie was very thoughtful and made sure to take care of us all day long! We think its amazing that she was able to capture some of the candids that we wouldn't even have thought possible during our ceremony and reception and then gave us some absolutely dreamy sunset portraits! We can't thank Joie enough for the wonderful job that she did capturing our memories but more so than anything, treating us like we were friends and family and making the day feel so natural!

Hello friends! A little about me: I honestly LOVE weddings and elopements. I believe in creating a relaxed and fun environment that adds value to your wedding day, and not taking away from the experience. What that means is I mix action based posing that creates real memories and fun moments, with a photojournalistic approach. This means more time in the moment and enjoying your day and less time saying "Cheese!" I am for the couples who love to laugh, want to have fun and are looking for a relaxed and organized professional for their day.

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!

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?

Hey hey!! SO STOKED you're here! My name's Lennie! I'm based in Portland, OR but have been documenting engagements + tiny weddings all over the country since 2017. I'm a hardcore introverted enneagram 9 and am obsessed with my doggo, my husband, and all things travel!

Picking a photographer is not an easy task but once I saw Lennie's Instagram and realized she had done one of my favorite family photo shoots of my sister-in-law and her family, I knew it had to be her. After meeting her and going over wedding details I knew there wasn’t a better photographer for us out there. Lennie made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and during our engagement shoot. She had fun games to play that made for the cutest pictures. She is very responsive and quick to answer emails and was willing to do whatever she could to make sure I got everything I needed day of photographed. I truly couldn’t imagine the photos being any better and we’ve only received the sneak peek so far. Even the second shooter was super sweet and friendly. Our photos were the most important thing to us and Lennie exceeded ALL expectations, truly blew them out of the water and we are forever grateful to her and her talent! I'd post our entire engagement and wedding album if I could and I could write a book about how amazing she is!

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!

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.

Adventure Stories were the perfect photographers for our wedding day. From our first conversation, they were friendly, responsive, and kind, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Their creative, detailed, and beautiful work captured all the special moments we'll cherish forever. They made everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos they delivered exceed all our expectations. We're so grateful to have found such talented and professional photographers to document our special day.

Photography Avec Meg

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Happy Valley, 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
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Happy Valley, 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!
