We were thrilled with Nikki and the team at Nicole Briann Photo! From the beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and so friendly - Nikki made us feel like old friends. On the wedding day, they arrived early with a detailed shot list to ensure we got all the photos we wanted, while remaining discreet so as not to intrude on the moments. The quality of photos is truly excellent; high resolution, beautifully composed, and full of emotion. Nikki perfectly captured the most special moments of our wedding day. Every penny spent was worth it for memories we'll cherish forever. We couldn't recommend Nicole Briann Photo more - Nikki and her team were an absolute joy to work with and the final product is stunning!

Hi, I'm Niki. Thanks for being here! I am a 29-year-old collector of hobbies, tattoos, and cats. I photograph weddings, elopements, and boudoir in the PNW and beyond. A 2023 bride said this: "Niki was the absolute best choice as our elopement photographer! She asked all of the right questions and helped capture the most important day for us with perfect photos and an unmatched way of keeping the day fun and stress free. Niki is truly one of a kind, her photography skills are hands down amazing and after the experience of working with her we consider her a friend too! "

We were so pleased to work with Niki for our engagement and wedding photos. She was very direct and timely with communication throughout the entire process. Niki was so flexible and accommodating with us throughout our wedding planning experience. Not least of all, our engagement photos and wedding previews look amazing and we can't wait to see the rest! She was able to deliver exactly what we wanted our photos to capture. Highly recommend Niki :)

Sound Originals Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

We are so happy we went with Sound Originals for our wedding photos! Gabriella the planning specialist, was SO helpful with our wedding day timeline and communicated everything promptly and informatively. The client portal is also very helpful for planning the timeline, updating info/details, asking questions, and viewing our finished photos. Our photographer, Mike, was a blast to work with and we highly recommend him for those in the Chicago area. He was assigned to us about 2 weeks before the big day (due to a conflict with the photographer we were originally assigned) and he made sure to reach out to me right away so he could get to know us and get caught up on our timeline and details. His fun, goofy personality kept us at ease throughout the day, he did a great job wrangling the bridal party, and helping with poses so we felt comfortable having our photos taken all day. He was also super efficient with our group photos and sunset photos- we actually had time to sit down and eat dinner! We are in love with our wedding photos and 100% recommend Sound Originals (and MIKE)!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have used many photographers in the past but none came close to the level of expertise that Leah possesses. Over the years, I've done business headshots with her, family photos, and most recently my wedding. Since I have used Leah's services for other things before, I knew what to expect as far as photo-quality goes; the real testimonial comes from how she handled the wedding. Shooting a wedding in another country with a chaotic family is no easy task, even I wouldn't wish it upon myself, but Leah truly knocked it out of the park: she checked in before the event day to go over the schedule, showed up early, got all of the extra shots that I requested, directed people, and just really took charge of the experience. Having her as my wedding photographer was literally one of the only non-stressful decisions I made for that event lol. The photos turned out beautifully, I really can't imagine having anyone else capture one of the most important events of my life. I recommend her wholeheartedly!!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Independence, 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.

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

Hello! I'm Robert. This is me. Let me tell you a bit about who I am and what I do. Love for photography, ​I am very passionate about working with my camera. If I am creating a little photo for myself that is never seen publicly or a project for a client, I put everything I have into making the photography I create as best I possibly can. Every click of the shudder is an opportunity for creating amazing photography. Every photo-shoot has options for photographs waiting to be found. Solving these puzzles with my camera and lighting is a lot of fun for me. I believe you can see that also. That's why you are here looking at my work now.

I highly recommend Robert with Modern Art Photograph because of his reliability, his warm approach to wedding photography and blow-out gorgeous photos that captured the magic! I was never left wondering what our plan was, and his gentle enthusiasm for capturing the moments eased us into being photographed and resulted in pictures we are superbly proud of, as he should be also!

Wedding photography that's all about you. alyson levy PHOTOGRAPHY specializes in creating gorgeous images that tell your unique love story. I rely on years of experience and an artist's eye to capture crucial moments without drawing focus, creating heirloom quality photographs that sparkle with humor and emotion.

We have worked with Alyson for several years. Her photography is obviously gorgeous but the thing I am always at awe with is how she is able to spot and capture these beautiful, emotional moments that are naturally unfolding throughout the wedding. She seems to have an intuition of these things and always puts her self unobtrusively in position to capture them. She is one of the best story tellers, and she is a fantastic choice for your wedding photographer.

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.

Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship.

There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail. Hi! My name is Anna– I am an elopement and wedding photographer helping adventurous couples say “I do” on their own terms from coast to coast.

Anna is so sweet, caring, and a great communicator. As a wedding planner, it was great to work with her and she captured the beauty of the venue so well. The portraits and couple photos are stunning. Would definitely recommend her!

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.

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!

Hi, I’m Kyle. I’m Northwest born, Portland based, and like to think that I have pines trees sprouting from my skin and sun-soaked glacial runoff coursing through my veins. Aside from photographing weddings, I enjoy strenuous hikes with a view as much as indie flicks, comic books, carving powdery slopes, rock climbing, and Trail Blazers games. I like to share these details because I strongly believe that connecting with the couples I collaborate with is integral to the creative process of photographing a wedding. A strong connection will result in the best images possible.

My (now) husband and I found Kyle through a random google search, and I cannot believe how lucky we got. In our first meeting with Kyle, he showed us beautiful examples of his work, and his professionalism and skill was immediately apparent. We had not planned to do an engagement shoot, but his work was so beautiful that we decided to go for it - and I’m grateful we did. It helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera, and with Kyle. Even our dog liked him :) On the day of our wedding, a huge snow storm hit unexpectedly, and we were scared no one would show. Not only did Kyle show up, but he made what could have been a disaster into a gift, taking some beautiful shots in the cold :) His photography from the wedding is a gift I will treasure for the rest of my life. His portraits of us, family pictures, and candid shots, were all stunning. We wed in a venue with low lighting, and Kyle worked wonderfully with it. We also ordered a beautiful wedding album from him. I could not recommend Kyle enough!

Hi! I’m Jess. I approach wedding photography with a photo journalistic eye, seeking out the authentic experiences of your day rather than fabricated moments. I shoot mostly film, medium format and 35mm, as well as a little bit of digital, to create timeless imagery that ages gracefully. I am trained as a fine art photographer, studying at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and SFAI. I live in Portland, OR but am happy to travel.

Jess was above our expectations. She was supportive and open minded and she was so natural and down to earth. It was so easy having her around and the photos seemed so authentic and really honored who each of us are as individuals. We knew the day would be fleeting, and we wanted someone to capture all the magic of the day, little moments and big, and she did just that. We are so grateful for her and would choose her again every time.!

I feel so lucky to have found Coral and Spencer through Instagram! I did my fair share of research and fell in love with their style. We met and they understood our vision impeccably. Our photos are stunning and something we will continue to treasure.

Hi, it's me, Kiley! I am the proud mama of two young children, a rescued dog and two rescued cats, and I am grateful to be married to my best friend. I love the outdoors, cycling, yoga, strong coffee, cheesy romantic comedies, folk & bluegrass music, and great vegan food.

Kiley was a photographer at our venue. From a fellow vendor’s perspective, she was wonderful to meet and welcome here! She was communicative, open and super personable. Some of the shots she took were unique from anything else we have seen from other photographers — they were gorgeous! We will highly recommend her to our clients and couples!

Color. Laughter. Personality. Three words that I think best sum up my images. I've been shooting weddings for over 15 years and loving every minute of it! From Martha's Vineyard to Puerto Rico, NYC to Portland & all in between, I've documented some amazing events. Big or small, the photos from your wedding day will travel with you throughout your lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
Crystal of Crystal Genes Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding. Her communication style is direct, kind, and informative which made the awkwardness we both feel behind the lens of a camera melt away. The quality and uniqueness of her work is exceptional - she has a true talent for capturing emotional moments with beautiful composition and lighting. On our rainy wedding day, Crystal came prepared with umbrellas and tirelessly worked throughout the event to suggesting backdrops and decor for stunning photos. She is professional, confident, and capable with a passion for her craft that shines through. I wholeheartedly recommend Crystal to any couple looking for a photographer who will help make your wedding memories as special as the day itself.

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! (Best wishes to you as you grow your business, Jess!)

Armando is an absolutely amazing photographer which we already knew after our engagement photo shoot that was included in our wedding photo package. However, once we received our wedding photos, we were absolutely blown away! Not only did he take absolutely breathtaking portraits and capture big moments throughout the day, but he caught a lot of sweet little moments of our guests. After sharing the gallery with some of our family and friends, many of them commented “ I can’t believe your photographer caught this moment of my sons, dad, mom, etc”. We are completely able to re-live our day with his photos. I don’t even understand how he was able to do it, but he also put together an 11 minute highlight video capturing our vows, big moments and many more little moments throughout the day! I was balling while watching it! Also, really important to us was Armando was extremely responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and even came to our 30 days out venue walk through to make sure we were on the same page. Armando is an extremely talented photographer and you’d be lucky to book him for your wedding day!
