Lauren Case

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Oakland, OR

Every individual has a unique tale, and mine is quite the whirlwind! When I was 5, my family left our Michigan home and has been on the move ever since. After living across the globe, I now proudly call Oregon my home sweet home with my wonderful husband, our sweet daughter, and our White German Shepherd! My journey toward becoming a wedding photographer is fueled by my romantic spirit, hope for deep connections, and wandering the world in pursuit of love. The idea of spreading love near and far, and passing on that love through generations puts a smile on my face every day.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is very obvious that Lauren is so passionate about what she does. My husband feels awkward in front of the camera but she did a great job with keeping it fun. You would never be able to tell he was awkward by the way the pictures came out, she did fantastic. Thank you Lauren for capturing such beautiful photos that we will cherish forever!

Amiran Weddings

  • Serves Oakland, OR

​As a documentary photographer, I go with the flow and discreetly capture each magical moment as it unfolds, telling your story as honestly and authentically as possible. No trends. No awkward poses. Only joy, emotion & storytelling.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amiran is a fabulous photographer. We knew we needed someone who knew traditional wedding poses for all the family photos, but we really wanted more candid shots in both the wedding and the reception. She did not disappoint. She’s got the static shots with family, and the wedding party we needed - but the candid ones are the ones we fell in love with in our portfolio. She is professional and kept communicating with us throughout all the changes leading up to our wedding with the venue issues we had, and went with the flow that day. She made sure she had everything we were looking for, and made our day so simple. She even went along with my maid of honor who decided to play photo stylist at the end of the day! I cannot say enough about how perfect Amiran was for our wedding!

Hi friends! My name is Olivia! I believe that weddings + couple’s sessions are a chance to allow you to connect deeper with each other & celebrate your once-in-a-lifetime moments. My social adaptability is one of my superpowers as a photographer because I can easily cultivate an environment that allows my clients to feel comfortable genuinely expressing their love to each other. Your love story deserves to be captured and you deserve to have fun doing it!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Olivia twice this summer. She is sweet and calm but can also work quickly and efficiently to ensure she is capturing all of the important moments. My favorite moment this summer was supporting her during sunset photos at a vineyard. She was able to guide the couple through some quick cues, but also knew some of their favorite poses they were most comfortable with. It was a perfect balance of both and the photos turned out wonderful! I would absolutely love to work with Olivia again!

Sunbeam Studio Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Oakland, OR

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey is an incredibly talented photographer - she truly "sees" the subject of the photo. She understands their energy, personality, and their comfort (and discomfort) zones. Kelsey has the ability to capture these special moments in time in a photo, that when revisited/looked at after the event, take you RIGHT back to that moment. She is artistic, professional, and consistent with her art and business. She is always exactly where you need her to be, and extremely reliable. She puts the client at ease, even when being in front of a camera is not the most comfortable experience for most people! She is organized in her approach before, during and after the event but never too pushy or overbearing. She listens, observes, and performs at a very high level. Working with Kelsey was a dream, and I feel thankful to have worked with her. I believe the photographer is the most important vendor during the "wedding" process (engagement, wedding, etc.) and I struck gold with Sunbeam!!

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!

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. I have made the Seattle area my home for over 10 years now. My passion other than family and photography, is traveling. I want to see everything this world has to show me.

Wow! Samantha is a spectacular photographer! She did beyond an amazing job with our engagement photos and wedding photos! She is well-organized, has an eye for detail, and is really easy to work with! We are amazed with our wedding photos and will cherish them forever! She captured all the special moments of our wedding from photos of getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception, and she truly captured the smiles, love, and happiness of our wedding. My husband and I enjoyed these cherished moments of our wedding and we couldn’t help but smile. She goes beyond from helping with every last detail from taking countless photos to include family and guests and ever got pictures of our horse. She is not afraid to step on a ladder, hike in the forest, or walk in a horse field to get the best photos! I highly recommend her and anyone who has her as their photographer is in the best of hands!

Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

Our story began with our mutual love of craft beer at a small brewery in Portland, Oregon. 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.

We hired Adventure Stories for both their photography and videography services for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! We enjoyed working with both Megan and Vishnu every step of the wedding planning process. From our first emails, to the actual day of the wedding, Megan and Vishnu were both friendly and professional. We had to work through many changes to our wedding due to Covid-19, and Megan and Vishnu were there to help and support us through every change. When we had questions or requests, Megan and Vishnu were there to help us, and were very flexible and caring. We appreciate the careful consideration they take when approaching each couple and client's story, that was one of the things that set them apart for us. Megan and Vishnu very much focus on telling your story! Their work is not only extremely beautiful, but is created with the couple/client in mind. We could not recommend Adventure Stories more, and we highly suggest hiring them as a pair, as they were a joy to work with as a couple!

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 :)

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.

***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)

As a professional wedding photographer based in South Florida, I specialize in capturing the genuine essence of love. My passion for photography extends beyond the lens, fueled by my love for nature, adventure, and travel. Whether it's capturing love while exploring mountainous terrain, enjoying sunsets, or strolling lakeside, I find inspiration in every moment. Alongside my photography pursuits, I enjoy spending quality time boating, dining, and cherishing moments with my little family. I photograph weddings in Florida, across the US, and Internationally.

We hired Shelby as our wedding photographer and just received our full gallery - wow! We are blown away with the sweet and meaningful moments that she captured. Not only were momentous times photographed, but she made a point to photograph for our family and friends, as well. We can tell that Shelby likes to be behind the lens and capture the moments that feel great to the client, so we’re able to truly relive such a perfect day! There are way too many photos that we’d like to frame / we’re going to have to make a full wedding album! Note: Shelby’s flash work is incredible! Our ceremony was during sunset so all of our cocktail & reception shots are only lit by string lights - if you have a darker venue or a night time wedding, Shelby is your girl!!!!

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.

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.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Karly! She was more than helpful when it came to all of our photography needs. She worked with our crazy schedule while running around Yosemite National Park. She delivered when it came to final edits. Make sure you get the extra final edits, trust me you will want all of them! Thank you a million times for making our special day the MOST special!

Hello there! I’m Amy. My roots are here in the PNW, (Edmonds, Washington to be exact) but I spent most of my life in Texas waiting for the day when I could move my family home to the northwest. I have 5 sons (yep, 5!) and have to pinch myself when I think about my amazing family and this career that has taken my husband and I all over the world. I value experience and relationships over material things, and work mostly with couples who are planning smaller weddings or elopements. After 12 years and 300+ weddings, I’ve learned that connection and authenticity are essential to who I am, and the way that I work.

*TO INQUIRE PLEASE REACH OUT VIA WEBSITE LINK* Hey! We're Alyssa + Alec husband and wife wedding + elopement photographers. Located in Southern California serving ALL couples around the United States. We shoot with intention; for our couples not for our portfolio, creating timeless memories you can relive and relive for the years to come. We work closely with our couples to guarantee a wedding album they've always dreamt of.

We absolutely LOVED having Alyssa and her husband be our wedding photographers! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot we new we had made the right choice. Even though I truly hate being the center of attention and getting my pictures taken, Alyssa made us feel so comfortable so that we could enjoy the day and be in the moment. Leading up to the wedding, she was super responsive to all my questions and when the big day came along everything went so smoothly. Alyssa even fixed my makeup when I cried it all off after the ceremony!! We love our pictures so much. They capture the day perfectly and I don’t think anyone could have given me the simple outdoorsy/elegant summer camp vibe that I wanted except for her. I couldn’t recommend Alyssa and her husband enough!!
