We posted in a budget group about six week before our date asking if there was anyone available to shoot our wedding within our tight budget. We had about 40 people reach out and none of them had the feeling we wanted. Kassaundra popped into my inbox and sent a link to one of their videos. The video started with a Disney song (we had a Disney themed wedding), and within the first 30 seconds my husband and I were in tears. I messaged her back right away and asked her how we could book them. They worked with our budget and helped us with a payment plan and they were so kind and all around wonderful. The day came and we couldn’t be happier with our outcome. They captured the day magically. So now we have two new friends, and the most amazing video to remember our day by. We cannot recommend this duo enough! You should hire them now!

  • Starts at $1,850

I am a PNW girl, wife of my middle school sweetheart, Logan, and mama to three lazy kitties and a puppy. Most of the time you will catch me reading, taking long scenic drives with Logan, or sitting in watching a rom-com. Being engaged, and now married (still can’t believe it), has given me such a deep perspective of what a being a bride is really like. From day one, my goal is to capture what was real, with nothing forced or too posed. I want to tell stories. I want you to look at my images and feel something.

Sierra did our engagement photos as well as our wedding and she was professional, caring, and supportive the entire way! Not only is her photography amazing, she was also super helpful during both the planning and actual wedding. 1000% recommend Sierra to any wedding couples!!

I've been in the wedding industry since 1998 and have come across many vendors. I always take note of professionalism and organization when working with other vendors. Working in live audio, it always amazes me how many video companies are not prepared to hook into a DJ's system and having limited connects. Jason is a rarity in this fashion, he always has multiple ways to run audio so couples will get professional sound. Another big aspect with being a master of ceremonies is organizing all vendors to be present at key moments, i.e. formal introduction, toasts, cake cutting, first dance. Whenever I work with Steady State Studios, I never have to look or keep an eye out if they are present and ready to get their video footage. It's all these qualities and more that I look for when recommending a service. Steady State Studios has always exceeded my expectations.

Oregon Coast based. I love creating a full experience for my couples, and really developing a friendship so we can make your day truly you! Yes, I’ll be dancing at your wedding. I started my business after an incredibly hard personal loss because photos became a huge part of my grief journey. I love capturing the raw and real moments, the ones you look back on and wish you could have forever. Photos are timeless and I love creating small forever moments in time. I care deeply for my clients! If you’re ready to get barefoot, maybe a little messy and live in the moment I’m the photographer for you!

I can't express enough how happy we were to have Renee. She just so happened to be in town the weekend of our wedding so we didn't even have to pay a travel fee which she never had to do! She was a breath of fresh air in actually feeling like she was appreciative to be our photographer. After a long period of planning I was starting to feel like vendors were acting like they could care less to be selected and Renee was COMPLETELY the opposite. She sent us the sweetest personal touches and dug through all her photos to show me examples of photos that really mattered to me. I wanted more candid photos and she did not disappoint. Even when going through a lot in her personal life, she was there 100% on our day which was so amazing and I will have these photos forever to always remind me of our special day. We tried doing some phots before the ceremony and everyone wanted to come say hi or congratulations and Renee was amazing at being my personal bodyguard and keeping people at bay. She is the best!!

Hi there! I'm Brayley, a full-time Traveling Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer who operates primarily in the Western United States, & I would LOVE to be your wedding photographer! 🫶🏼 I grew up & now live in the PNW with my loving spouse & our sweet pup, Forrest, but after doing my undergrad in AZ, I just knew I needed to spend at least part time there, too. I LOVE my work & am passionate about capturing life's precious milestones, & doing so in a way that feels natural & authentic to my clients. Although I love all photography, I specialize in wedding, lifestyle, & business photography with a natural, earthy, classic & candid style.

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

From the moment we booked Northwest Hearts Photography, Naomi was exceptional in her communication and always willing to answer any questions we had. Her work is truly amazing - she is so caring, accountable, and creative in capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. Naomi was even down to help where needed, even tying our groomsmen's bow ties! The sneak peek photos she shared are exactly what we were hoping for and I would recommend Naomi any day of the week.

We had a wonderful experience and perfect wedding day at Aurora Colony Vineyards. We were married here in September and from our very first email to them through the end of our wedding day, we had an extremely positive experience. We worked with their venue manager, Alyse, and I could not speak more highly of her and our experience working with her. She was so professional, kind and responsive, which when you're planning a wedding and trying to coordinate most things around your venue, was SO helpful. The getting ready suites on site were perfect for our needs and fit our group comfortably (5 in each suite). The grounds themselves are gorgeous and because of that we needed minimal decor/extras. This was the only venue that I didn't feel like the indoor option was second best. It was just as beautiful as the amphitheater space. The wine was great with many options to choose from and their tasting room staff were just as wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend Aurora Colony Vineyards.

Olivia went above and beyond 1000% when helping us plan our wedding. It simply could not have happened so smoothly and perfectly without her.

She is a positive force to be reckoned with and was an absolute pleasure to work with.

We thought we were going to look awkward in our photos but her prompts/poses made for outstanding photos. At our wedding she captured so many meaningful candid pictures as well as posed photos. These memories will last forever! Her editing work is truly wonderful too, I don’t know what she does it but it’s magic. She is someone you can put all of your faith in to capture the best memories from your special event.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I love capturing the authentic emotions and natural moments that unfold during a wedding.

I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding with Holly as the photographer. She was so wonderful to work with prior to and on the wedding day. Following the wedding she sent me a gallery of photos from the wedding and they were absolutely stunning! - from detailed shots to golden hour! I would recommend Holly to anyone looking for a photographer and I look forward to working with her again in the future!

Hi! I’m Danielle, the originating event alchemist. I’ve been told I should be a planner since the first internet quizzes started hitting my mom’s aol inbox in the early 00’s. My super-power is finding patterns in any and everything, from nature, to art, to human behavior. I love to use these patterns to help organize and synthesize information. I started event planning in order to share my skills with the world. I view myself as a jack of all trades and love to keep life interesting. Tell me your dreams and I’ll work to find the most efficient way to bring them to life!

Danielle is talented at curating interesting and forward-thinking wedding and event spaces, such as sustainable tablescape art pieces and floral chandeliers. Communicating with Danielle is easy and prompt, and, as a wedding photographer, I enjoy artfully documenting Danielle's creative event spaces!

I have been planning events for the last 20 years, on the side. I have always loved hosting people, and I've done a few bridal and baby showers. At my previous job, I helped plan several employee luncheons and holiday parties, with about 100-150 employees attending. I even led the planning a few times. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, I became an on-site wedding coordinator for a local venue, with 5 weddings each summer. In 2023, I coordinated 11 weddings (from full planning to day-of coordination), a large gala for non-profits, an annual fundraiser, a memorial service (for 300+ guests) and a surprise birthday party.

I worked with Erin as a florist, she was the event planner for a large event and they were in need of florals for their event. While the client requested some unique touches for their florals - Erin handled all of their requests and their back and forth with diplomacy and was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to any opportunity to work with her again in the future.

I have worked every aspect of the event planning and floral industry for over a decade. Aa a Bay Area local, I’ve apprenticed with local bakers, caterers, florists, and event coordinators since the age of 16. I’ve always been drawn to work with my hands, work with beautiful materials, and celebrating the opportunity to bring joy into others lives.

Olivia did an incredible job as our wedding florist! We hired her based on her portfolio and were not at all disappointed! She was a wonderful communicator and met with us multiple times via zoom to make sure we were on the same page. She was timely and professional, with a perfect balance of friendliness and ease to work with, both in the meetings and in person! She was kind and worked around us while we were sharing the same space to set up the day before. 10/10 - highly recommend!! If we every need another florist for an event, we will use her again!

What do I love about weddings? All of it. The storyline is built in, both sides are dressed up to the nines. Both get to express how they truly feel without the normal social repercussions telling you that you are too gushy or emotional. Family coming together to celebrate your love story. The food, the drinks, the party the dancing. And showing it all in a film that's warm hearted, uplifting, fun and beautiful. Showing the big celebrations along with the quiet little moments that connect us with what it means to be human. I look forward to sharing your day with you. -Seth

10/10 highly recommend working with Seth! I knew I wanted a videographer but instantly questioned my decision since I’m not one for being on camera or being the center of attention.. however, Seth made it so seamless and easy with his great energy! When I met Seth, I immediately felt comfortable with him and knew there’d be nothing to worry about! If anyone is questioning having a videographer for any reason, I would definitely consider meeting him! Your wedding day will come and go so quickly, but the pictures and videos will last a lifetime. If you want to ease your stress and anxiety.. Seth is the only way to go

As the owner of Black Swan Events, I have coordinated over 800 wedding, nationally and internationally. I coordinated an extremely complex multi day Indian wedding for which all the guest came from out of state or out of country. The logistics were extensive and the details significant. The Garden and their team were responsive and enthusiastic as time and time again I guided them through unique requests . Over the couples wedding weekend, the Oregon Gardens team was fully engaged and fully committed to not just deliver the event they were contracted to. they wanted to deliver an experience the guest would remember for a life time. And they nailed it! I recommend them again and look forward to coordinating another event with them. Gabrielle Dowding Director Black Swan Events
