Sierra Storm Photography 

5.0

Salem, OR
  • Classic style
  • 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.

We had Sierra storm photography photograph our wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. We get compliments on our pictures all the time. She was punctual and so kind and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my two cats Clara & Leonardo and about a hundred tropical plants 😆🪴 I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas. I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

At the start of my photographer search, I chatted with several different companies to ask my questions. Naomi blew everyone else out of the water and I just clicked with her right away. And it only got better as the journey kept going. She stayed in touch as it got closer to our event date, she offered suggestions, and made sure I didn't need any additional help on the coordination side of things. Now... let's get to the best part, the photo shoot!! OH MY LAWDDDD the pictures came out more dreamy than I could have ever imagined. She has such a great eye for what a good shot will be, isn't afraid to get down and dirty (and maybe accidentally end up in a creek to get the shot), and knows the poses that, to you feel weird, but to the camera, look gorgeous!! Our photos look like they belong in a magazine. She is so talented!!! There's so much more I could say, and I feel like what I have said still just doesn't do her justice. She's the best. Don't go with anyone else!!

Renee Walker Photography

  • Serves Salem, OR

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!!

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about how happy we are with Skylar...my partner and I agreed hiring her was the best money we spent on our wedding. Photos mean so much to us, and I couldn't be happier that we trusted her for our wedding and engagement photos. She is communicative, friendly, responsive, and punctual. She has amazing instincts and did an incredible job of making us feel relaxed on both of our shoot days. She captures a perfect balance of staged and candid photos with perfect composition. Sneak peeks were provided for our photos and the full libraries were delivered on time in an easy to access format. I appreciated the surveys she sends out to get to know you better before shooting. I genuinely could keep going and going! We chose Skylar because of her offered packages and photographic style and it was absolutely one of the best choices we made throughout the entire process. She is the first recommendation I will give to friends and family; we have received so many compliments on the gorgeous pictures. I am so happy that the precious, priceless memories of our wedding day are captured in such beauty forever! Thank you!!!!!!

Rhiannon has been a dream to work with from the very start! Her communication has been clear, professional and personable. She has offered a ton of advice along the way as we’ve planned and tweaked our timeline. And her photography speaks for itself. She made my fiance and I feel comfortable in front of the camera during our shoot and she truly captured our best, most candid selves. It’s evident that she treats each couple uniquely and takes the time to learn their personalities before just “pointing and shooting.” We feel truly so lucky to be working with her.
