Red Aspen Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Merrill, OR

I have been a professional wedding photographer for 8+ seasons and captured hundreds of weddings from the Rocky Mountains to the West Coast. I am both a storyteller and historian with my camera in hand. I love to incorporate the amazing landscapes with rich colors and natural light. My focus is on my couples feeling comfortable in front of the camera. I like to give some direction and allow for real moments to happen rather than anything being forced. My work has been featured everywhere from ABC (The Bachelor franchise), Green Wedding Shoes, Oregon Wedding Day, BRIDES.

We are getting married in Sunriver next summer and wanted to find the perfect photographer. Red Aspen came highly recommended from our wedding planner - and after our first experience with her at our engagement photoshoot it is so easy to see why. From the minute we started working with her she has been a reliable communicator & a joy to be around! The day of our photo shoot, unexpected weather occurred and she used her expertise to produce the most incredible art. She navigated this with flexibility, optimism, and turned it into a better experience than we could have hoped for. Her eye for a beautiful shot is paralleled only by her ability to capture candid & authentic photos while making you feel natural & easy-going on camera. We cannot wait to work with her at our wedding!! Thank you a million Ashleigh!

Sam Starns Adventure Elopements

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Merrill, OR

I’m Sam, a TEDx speaker, author, native Oregonian, and adventure elopement expert. And I regret my wedding. Oooof, right? I cried on my wedding day. They weren’t happy tears, either. Let me tell you my story. I had a day that wasn’t really about the connection I had with my husband. It wasn’t about who we were as people and about the things we loved. It wasn’t “us”. Imagine having an adventure elopement day that includes whatever floats your boat. Whether it’s adrenaline-packed, laughter-filled, chill vibes, or all of the above. Then add in a kickass connection between you & your partner that’s enabled by dedicating that day TO YOU.

Awarded Best of Zola
Magical, Fairytale, Epic these are all words we heard after revealing the stunning images Sam captured for us. These are also words that describe Sam and the experiences she helps create for you. From the very first time we spoke with her on the phone a quick getting to know you call had turned into 2 hours of friendship, excitement and day dreaming about our wedding. We knew right away we wanted to work with her. We could tell how passionate and invested she is about her work and clients (who quickly turn into friends). Not only does she bring this amazing passion and excitement to your photos but she also lives it everyday and encourages you to do the same. We reached out to Sam because of her incredible work but fell in love with her personality. Not knowing what to expect we put our hands and faith in her and had the adventure of a lifetime. We were so comfortable and carefree there was nothing to worry about. Our focus was on each other, we were able to enjoy a day designed around everything we love as a couple all with Sam's help and guidance. Her endless resources, open communication, and recommendations led us to our most memorable day and the gallery/album reveals allow us to relive it as often as we like. She is truly a magnificent person and her talent goes beyond the photography (although you should see her snapping from the back of a horse or in a kayak mid-ocean). The Elope Your Life experience is more than just photos and if you're looking for an epic experience this is it.

We want you to have stunning images and the best day of your life and we do everything in our power to deliver both.

I cannot recommend Drzazga Photo enough! When we first met Carly we knew right away she would be so easy to work with, make us feel at ease, and take some really incredible pictures- all of which she went above and beyond to make come true during both our engagement and wedding photos. Communication was always clear and quick, offering us recommendations for other vendors or photo locations, her and Kasey even came to our rehearsal just so they were prepared for the next day. Even a year and a half later I still look through our photos and find a new “favorite one” each time, they’re just that good! We also decided to add on their Videography service closer to our wedding and I’m so so glad we did that. There’s something really special about being able to really hear and see to remember the day. Kasey’s editing was fantastic, he created one of my favorite things to come out of our wedding. Drzazga is definitely the best and will only make your wedding better, easier, and less stressful!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Merrill, 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.

Jaime was easy to work with and had great communication. We were married in 202 and our wedding plans changed. Jaime was unable to make our rescheduled date so her colleague shot our wedding. She was also fantastic and Jaime edited the photos. They look amazing! I was distraught when I thought I had lost my photos and Jaime graciously searched through her hard drive 3 years later and found them! I highly recommend working with Jaime & her team.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. 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. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

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.

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!

I’m a Colorado-based wedding and elopement photographer, and I shoot everywhere from Europe to locally in Denver! My favorite thing about photography is capturing the candid “in-between” moments, real emotions, and when people bring their dogs to their shoots. I work with my clients to create memories that last beyond their wedding day, and deliver photos that capture the fun, romantic and timeless moments so you can re-live them for years to come.

Kelsey was extremely organized and great to work with! Not only did she reach out ahead of time to introduce herself as a fellow vendor at a wedding we both booked, but made absolute magic happen with the flatlays and invitation suite I created for the couple. She also proactively sent me photos, along with a sweet message! I would highly recommend Sunbeam Studio for any bride — I recommend her to all of my couples who ask!

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!

A true artist at heart, Danielle has spent over twenty-five years behind a camera. For over a decade she has specialized in recording couples and families in some of their most joyous moments.

Big or small, with her trained eye Danielle captures every brushstroke to fully realize the memory of your special day.

***Responding to all inquires on my personal website!!!*** I don’t care if you are outgoing, or shy. Addicted to coffee or can’t stand it. Saying your vows in the biggest chapel or the wildest mountain top. If you are down to earth, kind, and reflect good vibes then I want to be YOUR photographer. Because at the end of the day who cares about me, it’s about you and your person saying “hell freaking yes I do”. And however that looks to you, I don’t want to stand in the way.

I loved working with Esther. She kept the energy flowing all day and I loved how creative she was and easy to work with! - Angela, Fuse Events of Bend (Owner)

Erica Swantek Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Merrill, OR

I am a sentimental wedding photographer who loves celebrating free-spirited and natural couples who love the outdoors. Camping has always been my church. The outdoors are my sanctuary. I believe in presence over presents. I believe in pushing boundaries, giving time is better than gifts and comfort over style. Elopements and intimate weddings are my primary specialty, but if my work resonates with you, let's talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
Erica Swantek is by far one of my favorite photographers to work with, and I’ve worked with a lot as a bridal shop owner. She is always prompt, professional and friendly. Her laugh is infectious and she makes you feel like your sister is taking your photos. Perfect fit for anyone who isn’t comfortable in front of a camera. Also, her images are absolutely stunning. She has a great eye for detail and and knows exactly what lighting and backgrounds are the best. The hardest thing about working with Erica is narrowing down the image you want to hang on the wall, as every single image is lovely! Each image is a piece of art that has been lovingly captured for your special moment. She has not become desensitized to special moments like a lot of photographers have… she treats each session like it was more important than the last.

Artistic storytelling for the fun, kind and adventurous. Hi friend! :) I'm your neighborhood artist, goofy empath, & lover of dogs and human beans. (Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose.

Jazmín made our wedding day so incredibly special, capturing every detail and all the big moments as well. She is SO talented! From being willing to balance on a mossy log to get some gorgeous water pictures to making my husband and me (and our bridal party) feel so comfortable in front of a camera, Jazmín is so professional, kind, and has an eye for capturing the feeling and beauty of a place. She covered our day from beginning to end, and without her, we wouldn't have had many pictures from our day. We've never had professional photos taken of us before, and every photo Jazmín has taken of us is our favourite. We feel REALLY lucky to have had her there to capture so many moments of that day and to be able to look back on her work brings back so many happy memories. Thank you, Jazmín! (BOOK HER for your engagement shoots, your weddings, your family portraits - it'll be the BEST thing you do!).

I’m a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I’ve documented hundreds of couples’ love stories over the past 11 years, traveling all over the United States and beyond, and it has been one of the biggest honors of my life. I received my degree in photojournalism in 2010 and chose to pursue documenting love instead of local and world news events, but my background in photojournalism greatly guides how I approach my duty as a wedding photographer. I always strive to capture the day how it happened: the love, the laughter and the tears. I want you to look back at your wedding images for decades to come with joy and pride.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Maria enough! From the beginning with our engagement photos to the end with our wedding, Maria was nothing but fantastic. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is incredibly passionate about her craft and truly cares about the people she photographs. She was so patient with us during our engagement shoot, and made such an effort to know all the tiny details of our wedding. An entire paragraph could be written on how talented she is, but her gorgeous images speak for themselves! She makes magic happen at weddings, catching all the details and in-between moments, and delivers such beautifully authentic photographs. It was a lovely experience working with her, and so reassuring to know that, through an already stressful time, we were in good hands. Thank you, Maria, for capturing all the love at our wedding! We will cherish these photographs for a lifetime.
