Hi! I'm Lauren, but you can call me Ren. It's so great to meet you! I've had the privilege of photographing love and connection for the past six years, and I still smile when I tell people that this is my job—because it’s never felt like one. Being invited into such intimate and vulnerable moments is something I don't take lightly. I’m not just here to take pretty photos; any photographer can do that. I want to create an experience that genuinely reflects your love story and helps you remember what it felt like to love deeply in this moment, right now.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ren has a warm and welcoming personality and is fun to work with! She is an expert in capturing candid moments (and those are the best ones). Fiance and I had our 1st photoshoot together and it didn't feel awkward at all! Ren goes through the effort and extra time to get to know the couple she'll be working with before doing the actual shoot. We loved working with Ren because every communication reminded us that she cared and listened to what we wanted to convey in our photos. She has only shown us the sneak peeks for now and oh my we are in love with them! Can't wait to see the final photos! Thank you Ren!

Simple Joie Photography

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Ilwaco, WA

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 booked Joie because of her beautiful images but when we started to see images of her creations with flatlays on her Instagram, we couldn't wait for our wedding day! She asked me to gather the details I would need for the day prior to the wedding day and my bridesmaids and I were so impressed by her when she showed up with her little kit and just got to working. I love love love love (too many loves to count) my wedding photos and I can't help but think that I was so lucky when I snatched her as my photographer! Joie was such a pleasure to work with from our engagements to the helping us with timeline building and giving us ideas for what to plan for and of course our wedding day! I can't express in words how grateful I am to have had her hold my hand through the process.

For over a decade, I’ve been chasing light, laughter, and those one-of-a-kind moments that make life so beautifully messy. Growing up surrounded by the towering evergreens, misty mountains, and rugged coastline of the Pacific Northwest gave me a deep appreciation for nature—and it’s become a huge part of my photography style. I’m always up for an adventure. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me rolling dice in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, conquering quests in my favorite video games, or geeking out over the latest board game with friends.

Missy Fant Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first email, Missy was quick to respond, incredibly kind, and proactive in making sure we felt taken care of every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, she was a calming presence and seamlessly captured all of the special moments, from the big ones like our first kiss to the smaller details we'll treasure forever. The final photos are absolutely stunning - we're in awe of how Missy managed to make everything look so breathtaking. We are so grateful to have these incredible memories to look back on, and we cannot recommend Missy Fant Photography enough to any couple planning their wedding!

We are a husband and wife team based in Portland, Or and travel worldwide (we love travel) to capture our couples stories, and capturing the best imagery we can!. We specialize in creative moment driven wedding & lifestyle photography. We are committed to telling our couples stories and supporting them in ways that allow them to be free of stress and to be in the moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jos and Tree came highly recommended to us and, having worked with them, we now know why! A lot of people take wedding photos. Among them are a handful of folks who are also reliable, professional, and pleasant to work with. And within that smaller group, is an even smaller group of photographers who have real artistic vision matched with technical skill. Jos & Tree are, without a doubt, near the top of that select group. The images they produced of our wedding run the gamut from traditional wedding photos to absolute masterpieces of lighting, composition, and technical execution. Here's an example: as the day was wrapping up, and a bit *after* Jos and Tree's deadline for leaving had passed, they quickly posed my wife and I in front of a tree in the park; Jos had a vision for an image he wanted to capture in the fading light... and the resulting image proved absolutely magnificent; it is my favorite photo of the day, and among the top photographs I have seen anyone create, anywhere. On top of the artistic talent and skill, Jos & Tree were an absolute pleasure to work with; responsive, pleasant, personable, and fun. They were always on time, and ready to work... and work they did!! The amount of effort and energy they put into capturing lots of beautiful and creative images cannot be overstated. And then, they edited them beautifully, and have been working with us to select images to print and put in a book. The quality of their artistic consultation has been phenomenal. My wife and I have seen a lot of wedding photos that people proudly post online on sites like reddit. I can confidently say that I've yet to see more interesting and beautiful wedding photos than the ones I've seen from Jos and Tree. It's a pleasure to give these two lovely people our highest recommendation.

Hey new friends! We’re Sam + Kyle elopement photographers splitting our time between the PNW and the SW in our RV. It takes a whole lot of badassery to make the decision to elope and we are very into that kind of energy. We believe in making memories and images that capture all of the big feelings, and the in-between moments that you want to relive over and over again. You know, the kind of photos that hang on your wall and make ya smile real big because you remember exactly how you felt in that moment. We are so glad that you’re here and can’t wait to run wild with you.

Sam and Kyle make an incredible creative team! We got in touch with them after a surprise elopement and were interested in them shooting our reception party. They excel in the elopement category as I am sure you can see from their epic portfolio, but they were just as amazing through the entire process and day of our reception. As with many couples these past few years, we needed to postpone our party for a year and a half before we could gather safely. Sam and Kyle kept in contact regularly and let us know we weren't alone. They provided some amazing guides and so much support while we worked through the challenges of planning throughout a pandemic and busy schedules. They have put so much thought and time into every aspect of their business and making sure their clients have a comfortable and beautiful experience when they work with The Dropped Pin. They encouraged us to sit down intentionally and to find time to go through the questionnaires together and it ended up making for some beautifully connected moments for me and my partner in the midst of everything else. This was all just in the lead-up to the day of! Sam and Kyle were punctual and showed up with plenty of time to get a lay of the venue while everything was still quiet. Like any "well-planned" event, everything ended up being behind schedule. This didn't phase Sam or Kyle, they just kept smiling and keeping everyone at ease, they truly did make herding cats look effortless! Now for the really good stuff, the photos. OMG, THE PHOTOS! Stunning. Breathtaking. Flawless. They were prompt with a sneak peek and final delivery and we are still taken aback at what they were able to capture. Having Sam and Kyle as a part of our day was the best decision we ever could have made. Friends are obsessed with them and the photos they took so I really hope we will get an excuse to work with them again one day!

There aren’t many times in your life you have your best friends and family members gathered together in one place. this lends itself to good photography. but it’s important we get good access, that we be able to photograph you from the perspective of a close friend or family member. we want to shoot your wedding from the inside out, not the outside in. when you get your photos we want to bring you back to those moments in an intimate and impactful way, so you can remember how it felt.

Hiring Melanie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we connected, her warmth, professionalism, and grounded energy put us completely at ease. She’s not just a photographer—she’s a deeply intuitive presence who sees people in a way that is rare and sacred. Throughout the planning process, Melanie communicated with such clarity and kindness. We always felt informed, cared for, and completely confident in her. She truly went above and beyond—balancing artistry with organization, professionalism with deep presence. On the day itself, she floated through our space like a calming force, capturing moments we didn’t even realize were happening until we saw the images. Her work is stunning—rich, emotional, soulful. Every frame feels like a memory you can feel. She captures not just what things looked like, but how they felt. Our Super 8 film made us both cry. The textures, the movement, the way she threads nostalgia into the modern moment… it’s magic. What we appreciated most, though, was her. Her energy, her grace under pressure, her dedication to getting it right—not just technically, but energetically. Melanie holds space in a way that makes everyone feel safe and seen. That’s something you can’t teach. If you are lucky enough to work with her—do it. She is a true artist, a steady hand, and a beautiful human. We are forever grateful. - Rachel

Irene of IJ Photos is a highly-skilled and respected photographer, but also one of the kindest, most sincere people you will ever meet in your life. It is that focus on people and their relationships that allows her couples to just relax and enjoy themselves knowing that Irene has all the shots covered. And it's those relaxed moments where the authentic relationship of a couple can shine through. Knowing that you're going to get great photos is certainly reason enough to hire Irene. But a big bonus is that you have her by your side while you're planning your wedding. She will often meet with couples at their venue - even if she's been there many times - to show them different spots and talk about lighting and such. As a colleague in the wedding industry, I respect her so much that I hired her to take our family photos last year.

To make you forget the camera, have fun, and walk away with beautiful photos, lasting memories, and a new friend. Let’s create something timeless, romantic, and dreamy together!

I highly recommend working with Steffine! She is professional and captures such wonderful candid moments as well as having an eye for posing and framing photos the proper way! We loved our wedding photos and have worked with her numerous other times, including today, for my Birthday photoshoot! She always comes prepared!

HEY THERE! I'M ALYSSA! aka, Your go-to wedding day sidekick! I’m thrilled you’re here! With roots in Hawaii and Pennsylvania, I have an adventurous spirit fueled by local coffee, anime, and delicious food. When I’m not capturing love stories, you’ll find me camping, stand-up paddleboarding, hiking, skiing, or snowboarding. I’m also a proud mom to my daughter and our dog!

Alyssa Johnson Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Alyssa knew exactly what was going on and asked all the right questions to ensure our big day went off without a hitch. Her communication was amazing - she was always quick to respond and worked with us closely to get everything we could ever want. Alyssa's photography style is very simple and elegant, capturing all the special moments in a beautiful and timeless way. She even went the extra mile, doing a few tasks that helped everything blend super smoothly. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't be happier that we chose Alyssa Johnson Photography to capture our wedding memories.

Specializing in Outdoor Weddings and Elopements! Growing up fishing and hiking at the age of three, I spend as much time as possible outside! Searching out new swimming holes in the summer, traveling to the mountains and along the coast throughout the year! Backpacking, hiking and climbing. Quickly adding more locations to shoot!

As soon as Dustin replied to us confirming he had our wedding date available we were so excited! He was very interested in our wedding plans and goals for our special day! He suggested a few locations for an engagement shoot with some beautiful views that showcased the landscape and our outdoorsy side for our wedding a few months later! Great photos and very personable to work with!

We are Sienna plus Josh, adventure elopement photographers [who also eloped!] in 2011 and we have been shooting weddings and adventuring ever since. We are here to help you navigate the path of forging your OWN path. Going the adventure elopement route is intimate, authentic, and empowering...with a day that is truly reflective of your relationship and defines the two of you! One of the best things about eloping is that you get to throw away the rule book and write your own. Whether that is spending your wedding day on a mountaintop in Oregon, among the waterfalls in Iceland, or the warm desert of California.

I have been lucky to style a few elopements Sienna Plus Josh have photographed. They are so kind and professional, always putting their nervous clients at ease- in the end creating an incredible gallery. Their work speaks for itself, but as someone who has met them personally they are a joy to hang out with as well.

Hello! My name is Katya! I am thrilled you are interested in choosing me to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who inspires you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. And, hopefully someone who eventually becomes a friend. I'm excited to give you a little tour so you can learn more about me - the process of working together - and my wedding collections!

Katya was so amazing to work with! She was so efficient, kind, and took gorgeous photos! The spot she took us in Farragut had a beautiful background and was perfect! The photos turned out so beautiful and were everything we were hoping for! I got married at a church, and so the lighting was difficult, but Katya still managed to take great photos inside as well! Thank you Katya, for doing such a wonderful job!
