Maria Newman Photography

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.

I offer couples both over a decade of experience as well as formal training in documentary style photography. My style is a blend of both photojournalism and fine art photography. Addtioinally, I have been told I am a very "zen" and calming presence on wedding days. I go out of my way during both the planning process and the wedding day to ensure my couples receive all the pictures they've requested and more.
