Jess Buckley

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Pendleton, OR

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 incredible to work with. She was kind, professional and easy to work with. She flowed easily among the guests and wedding party and everyone enjoyed her presence. Jess captured incredibly beautiful and raw moments with her film photography that are not your traditional posed wedding photos. Jess will be at the top of my list for wedding photographer recommendations.

Daniela Adrianna Photography

  • Starts at $1,350
  • Serves Pendleton, OR

I'm a photographer based in Boise, Idaho. I was born in California and when I was 7 years old, my family moved to Boise and we have been here ever since. Although I definitely miss the beach, I love to spend time camping and spending time at different lakes with family and friends. I fell in love with photography when I was in high school and started taking a photo class just for fun. After that, I knew that this was what I wanted to be doing.

Daniela Adrianna Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Daniela was extremely communicative, professional and sweet. She was prompt in responding to all of my questions and requests, and kept in close touch with me every step of the way leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Daniela followed my timeline perfectly and was able to capture all the important moments without being intrusive. The photos she delivered are absolutely stunning - clear, beautifully edited, and truly capture the joy and romance of our special day. Daniela's attention to detail and passion for her craft are evident in the final product. We are thrilled with the photos and couldn't be happier that we chose Daniela Adrianna Photography to document our wedding. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

O’shann Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Pendleton, OR

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.

Sam was a dream. Not only did she get pictures of every aspect of my special day but she brought an upbeat energy and positive attitude that really helped calm wedding nerves! Her eye for angles and poses made for beautiful pictures. The turnaround around time frame was great!!! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer

Simple Joie Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Pendleton, OR

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 hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

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.

Planning the wedding was not easy. But with help from friends and even a stranger made a huge impactful experience. Our photo/videographer team were more than capable of doing their tasks at its finest, they were more than willing to make sure that we have the best experience we could even ask for. They were generous to used most of their equipments, top-up more crew just to make sure that they can capture moments that we can reminisce in our lifetime.

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. 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.

Capturing Authentic Stories That Transcend Generations || There’s nothing I find more special than witnessing a couple celebrate their love in the most meaningful way possible – whether that’s surrounded by loved ones or in a private moment shared between just the two of them. Your wedding day should feel thoughtful and intentional. It’s about creating moments that resonate with who you are as a couple – moments that evoke a sense of calm and reflection on the journey that brought you together and the adventures that lie ahead.

My husband and I have never had a big, traditional wedding mindset -- we firmly believe that getting married is about whatever works best for a particular couple so long as they're celebrating their love the right way. For us, that meant doing something intentional, special, and unique. And oh boy, did we ever get that with Tori. I have the absolute privilege (HONOR, really) to know Tori well. I have seen how amazing she is at her job just through the evidence (photos, couples raving about her, etc). but never could have fully understood just how gifted, talented, and amazing she is until we fully experienced it for ourselves. Leading up to our day, Tori helped us figure out the perfect location for us -- a spot we'd never been -- while managing and juggling all of the logistics for us (could we do the jeep trail?, when would the sun set?, could we make a reservation for dinner too?, would we like the spot?, etc.). Let me be clear -- I am not a planner. And one of the biggest reasons we wanted to elope was to avoid the traditional stress that usually comes with "planning" a large wedding. To say that Riley and I felt zero stress would be a dramatic understatement. The entire process was FUN and EXCITING -- exactly what we always wanted it to be. And that was just leading up to the day. The day we got married was unreal in the best way possible. I can't describe what it's like to have a photographer there with you who sees you, understands you, and most importantly documents your love authentically. We couldn't stand the idea of a big, pose-y photoshoot on a day we wanted to be so genuine and about our love. And you know what? We didn't get an ounce of that. Our day was pure magic. Blissful, stunning, 1000% joyful magic. And Tori was one of the biggest parts of that. Trust your day (and your love) with her and never look back. And, as a bonus, the photos are so stunning we cry every time we see them!

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.

Stevie’s talent is truly exceptional. Our engagement photos were stunning, capturing our love and excitement perfectly.

The boudoir photoshoot was an empowering experience, thanks to Stevie's supportive and encouraging demeanor. She created a safe and comfortable environment, allowing me to feel relaxed and confident. The results were nothing short of amazing, and I was thrilled with how the photos turned out. When it came to our wedding day, Stevie was punctual and prepared, seamlessly blending into the background while capturing every special moment. Her dedication and passion for her work were evident in every shot. The sneak-peek photos she took are breathtaking and we can't wait to see the final results from our wedding day! and tell the story of our day perfectly, from the smallest details to the most significant moments.

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.

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.

At our engagement shoot she immediately put us at ease and we felt so taken care of, and the results were fabulous. At our wedding she was able to take charge when we needed her to and blend into the background when we were living in the moment. She is so talented and so easy to work with, we cannot recommend Niki highly enough!

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.

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are many photographers/videographers who can deliver solid content, but it really takes a special team to be able to capture a certain "mood" and "aesthetic."

Howdy! I'm Gwen. I am believer in love at first sight and that travel is the best teacher (experiencing new places makes my soul sing). I have been photographing weddings for over 13 years. From Iceland to Antarctica, Hawaii to Alaska, Shanghai to Scotland and frequently in Colorado my home-state, I've captured photos of incredible humans full of love. I quickly found my passion is documenting intimate weddings and elopements; those full of intention and a little untraditional. I support ALL clients and their right to marry who and how they choose.

Gwen is absolutely incredible. As our wedding photographer, she made us feel completely comfortable. This was incredibly important to me (the bride) because I always feel awkward getting my picture taken. She put me at ease and made me feel confident in front of the camera-something I have never experienced before. She was able to capture beautiful moments without us feeling posed. She flew to Colorado and drove for hours to get to our elopement site. She was punctual, and showed up with so much enthusiasm and excitement for our big day. She is a dream to be around-exactly the type of person you want around on your wedding day. It's not every day you find professionals with true heart and talent behind every inch of their work. Gwen was amazing to work with-she captured every beautiful moment of our day and turned our photos into masterpieces that we will cherish forever. Thank you Gwen!!!

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 was so great to work with from start to finish. She was beyond helpful when discussing possible locations and building the perfect itinerary based on what we wanted. She took us to spots that we never would have known were possible to get to and the photos were amazing. Erica is a very fun and friendly person. You will feel so comfortable throughout the entire session. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Thanks so much for taking the time to see if I might be a good fit to photograph your wedding! I've found that one of the most important factors in a great wedding is enjoying the people you surround yourself with. Since I will basically be your third wheel on one of the best days of your life it's important that we click well! That said, some things I’m passionate about include photography(obviously), the NBA, vinyl records, pretty movies and tv shows with no story, and a ton of other stuff. I tend to be pretty enthusiastic so if you think “I wonder if Nate is into..." I likely am!

Nate Meeds was the perfect wedding photographer for us. From the beginning, his communication was quick and easy, making the whole process stress-free. Nate has such a fun, easygoing personality that put us at ease during the photo sessions - which was great, since I don't really enjoy having my picture taken! Despite my discomfort, Nate made it so easy and the final photos turned out amazing. His work is truly great quality and captured all the special moments of our wedding day, especially the epic dance party photos that are unmatched. We are thrilled with how the photos turned out and would highly recommend Nate Meeds to any couple looking for a fantastic wedding photographer.

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!

Hey there, it's Kimberly, your behind-the-lens cheerleader, reveling in all things outdoors! After three decades of sunshine, my hubby and I traded Florida beaches for the Pacific Northwest's wild charm - hello Lincoln City, Oregon! This enchanting corner of the world - with its rugged mountains and sweeping coastlines - is the ultimate stage for unforgettable elopements. Because love, in all its forms, is magical. It stretches, it soothes, it heals. From heart-tugging proposals and starry-eyed engagements to secret elopements and joyous weddings, I live to frame these moments that make hearts flutter.

Working with Kim was a complete delight. We wanted a photographer with lots of experience and ideas who would boss us around so that it was one less thing for us to worry about. Kim was fun to work with, and made it so easy by coming prepared with lots of shot ideas and direction. We're in love with our photos, and will absolutely hire her again!

I run a photography business out of Boise Idaho! I have such a passion for capturing life’s most important moments! I love that I live in a place that has such diverse landscapes and opportunities. I am more than willing to travel to your special moments! I would love to chat and learn more about you!

Billie was an absolute gem! We had the privilege of working with Billie for our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She took the time to sit down and get to know us before we did our first photo session and we were blown away by her easy-going personality and her professionalism. True to her word, she will be your hype woman and do everything she can to make sure you have a good experience. The quality of her work is exceptional. She holds a nice balance of staging posed portraits and capturing candid shots. She has a lovely eye for the composition and verity in her shots. I had been pretty nervous for my wedding photos prior to meeting with Bille, but for both days we shot with her I was able to be myself and enjoy the moment. She surprised me at the end of the wedding day with a small Polaroid album that quickly became one of my favorite mementos from the day. I would absolutely recommend working with Billie for your wedding and beyond!

We're Natasha and Brian! A husband and wife, PNW elopement photographer duo. When we're not getting slimed by our own slobbery dog Fern, or helping you plan your dream wedding day, you can probably find us alpine lake lounging, making a weird new kimchi flavor, or deep on the forestry roads in our (always dirty) Tacoma blasting some indie alt or rap (there's rarely an in between lol). We're your photographers, die-hard dog petters, and donut-eaters that are all about playful banter, real conversations, and no icky small talk.

For me and my now-husband Ryan, the importance of finding an excellent wedding photographer was unparalleled. We discovered Natasha and immediately were drawn to the nostalgic, film quality to her work. We love the way she captures moments that feel both so real and so dreamy at the same time. It’s an art! Additionally, correspondence with Natasha was always a pleasure. She was speedy in her responses, always answered any questions, and just extremely down-to-earth and easy going. Our introduction to working with Natasha came from our winter engagement session. We chose to do the shoot at home and around our neighborhood in Seattle. Though we were still nervous in front of the camera, Natasha chatted with us and helped us open up. The photos from this December day were cozy, comfortable, and felt completely like us! And finally the Big Day arrived! Natasha and Brian photographed our July 2023 wedding and the results were just perfect - more lovely than we could have dreamed. On top of that, we loved getting to hang out with them! They made our wedding day feel calmer, more relaxed, and allowed us to just be us. We highly recommend Natasha and Brian for all your engagement and wedding photography needs. They’re the best!

*** Please fillout our Contact Us form on our website first before inquirying on Zola *** My name is Austin Williams & Nicole is my wife/sidekick. We both met in college in Nampa, Idaho where I was studying Film. I studied and obsessed over every beautiful film out there & eventually wanted to be a Director of Photography one day (people who setup lighting for movie scenes). I watched, analyzed, and obsessed over every award-winning film in existence. I yearned to learn how film production studios lit every scene & thoroughly enjoyed constantly listening to great film scores. Almost finished with film school, I purchased my very first camera.

Austin and Nicole are GREAT people! They are outgoing, fun to be around, and very accommodating. They make sure their clients are well taken care of and also check in with other vendors. They’re work is phenomenal! I love working alongside them.
