Photography By Cambrae

  • Starts at $950
  • Serves Bay City, OR

I am a Portland native through and through! My love for photography rivals only my love of traveling. My interest in photography began at a young age, thanks to my Uncle and 8th grade math teacher. After over 18 years of experience, I have mastered the art of putting my clients at ease and creating an environment for them to be present and most importantly be themselves. I have a deep passion for not only the images I create but for the people I work with. I truly consider it an honor to be a part of someone’s wedding day and the images we create together become reflective memories for the couple, not just snapshots in time.

Cambrae was very easy and fun to work with. She is very professional and good at communicating. The photos are so amazing and the prices are totally reasonable. Highly recommend!

Photographs are love letters to the heart. I’m here to capture the most important moments of your life from the first anniversary, to the engagement, to the first day of your lives as a married couple. I have been a photographer for 8 years now and I love what I do! Not everyone can say they chose their career at the age of 14 but I feel so lucky enough to say I did. Located in the Seattle/Tacoma area willing to travel anywhere to be your official hype woman!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

PictureMeThisbyLacie was the most amazing photographer we could have dreamed of. Lacie and her husband made our day an absolute breeze!

Ashley and her crew were fantastic, always making sure we were on top of the timeline and getting the exact photos we wanted. They brought out the best in us in every single shot, capturing all the special moments of our day. From Day 1, Ashley passed our vibe check instantly and was always just a text, email or call away, giddy about our nifty and crazy ideas. Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer to document our wedding - they truly made the experience unforgettable.

Hello! My name is Dana (pronounced 'Donna') and I was born and raised in Mexico, and now I currently reside in Vancouver, WA with my husband and three fur babies. I love to travel and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and beyond! I am so grateful to be able to photograph couples and families displaying so much fun and love. I primarily shoot couples, maternity & destination weddings, and elopements. When I'm not working behind the camera, you can find me hiking, doing pottery, painting, practicing yoga, playing music, or finding new places to eat.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dana went above and beyond with our engagement shoot. She took care of us in every way imaginable, and made the shoot comfy, fun and playful, which was exactly the vibe I was hoping to capture with my fiancé. She made sure that we got the poses I had showed her on my inspo board, but also suggested some that were absolutely perfect for the setting. The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined. I am historically a bit uncomfy in front of the camera and often don't enjoy pics of myself, but I can't stop looking at the stunning photos in our gallery, as they look like something out of fairytale. I know we'll be enjoying them for many years to come, and I can't wait to show them to our kids and our grandkids. Thanks from the bottoms of our hearts, Dana. 3

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!

My mission is simple yet profound: to create timeless artwork that reflects the love and individuality of every couple I meet.

When I'm not capturing beautiful moments, you'll find me savoring fine wine and crafting to my heart's contentment.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jasmine and Jacob were a DREAM to work with the day of our wedding. We told them what our vision was and they above and beyond delivered. My husband and I are both very awkward people who hate having our pictures taken/posing, and we did not feel posed for a single moment. It felt like they weren’t even there. The products themselves are unbelievable. Our vision was brought to life exactly, better than we had hoped, and we have not stopped getting compliments on the photos. I’d like to add - Jasmine also did our engagement photos, and a boudoir photo shoot (for me) on top of the wedding and she delivers every. Single. Time. I genuinely could not recommend these two enough!

Hi, I'm Hanna! I have been a wedding photographer for the last 4 years, and I can't wait to capture your day. I am based out of Central Oregon, and always ready to travel. I am ready to capture your day from the details, cadids, to your first look and first kiss as a married couple! Cheers to you and your significant other!

I booked Hanna for our September wedding at Pole Creek Ranch in Sisters, OR and she was seriously so amazingggg!!! Our entire wedding party commented on how awesome Hanna was and how fantastic the photos turned out. Photographers can be such a big decision and investment for your wedding day because they are the few vendors whose services you hold onto after the day itself. We had ZERO regrets with Hanna (and we definitely had some regrets with other vendors). She was such a calming, fun, warm, and happy presence on our wedding day. She gave perfect directions for body part placement during shoots (I am especially bad at this and sooo appreciated it) that turned out beautifully. Hanna's got such an eye for lighting and her warm tone overlays were *chefs kiss*. She showed up early and took all the shots I asked for as well as so many beautiful favorites. We had a long engagement and had already done engagement photos by the time I booked with Hanna so we actually didn't meet her until the day of our wedding, but she didn't give me any reason to be worried about that - her communication was stellar. You will not go wrong booking with Hanna!!!

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!

Hey, I'm Emily! A natural light photographer based in Portland Oregon who specializes in true-to-color edits and authentic captures. Like many photogs out there, I picked up a camera really young and haven’t put it down since. I never wanted to forget parts of my childhood and young adulthood, so it became second nature for me to document the things I loved with photographs in a very real and candid way. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t feel luckier that this hobby became a career focused on preserving life’s most precious moments for others. Who will be the girl behind the camera hyping you up while capturing some authentic moments?

Looking through the photos, it’s as if I’m reliving the most magical moments all over again. The candid shots are heartwarming, and the posed photos are elegant and timeless. I am beyond blessed and I can’t thank Emily enough for their incredible work. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will go the extra mile to make your day unforgettable, look no further!!

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!

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.

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 had the BEST experience working with Annaliesse! She’s always so quick to respond to any question we have, and is so helpful with the planning process. From location, timing, outfits, you name it, and she’s there! She’s always on time, has a great attitude, and is so eager to make sure things run smoothly. And her galleries, NEVER disappoint!! The photos she captured of us are absolutely breathtaking, it’s been so hard to pick a favorite because it’s like each one is better than the last!

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'm going to break this down as simply as possible...... Melissa is a dream come true. She is everything you could ask for in a photographer and SO MUCH MORE. She's professional, kind,an excellent communicator, and has the best creative eye. But that's not all that makes Melissa great; she has the ability to make you feel comfortable. My husband is a shy, introverted kind of dude - the kind who'd rather do household chores than pose in front of a camera and smile - and Melissa has this nature about her that made him feel relaxed and at ease to catch our best moments. All of that is just touching a little bit on the SKILL Melissa has. Besides her exceptional talent, she is a joy to be around, Melissa brightens a room! You can't help but feel like your best self around her... it makes for some really wonderful digital lifetime memories. Can't say enough about what a treasure Melissa is. 10 out of 5 stars, easy.

We're a married couple team that offers both photography & videography. We stumbled into this as an attempt to find a fun hobby that we enjoyed doing together. We started out by going on little adventure dates with our camera capturing wildlife and scenery. Quickly it developed into capturing moments for family and friends, and then fast forward a few years and we're now mainly serving other couples as they embark on one of the most exciting adventures of their lives- Marriage! We so enjoy connecting with our couples and making sure that we are the best fit for the vision they see on their big day over coffee or a call.

It is so fun to work with Erica & Jake! They are professional, understanding, kind, fun, and so great at making a couple feel comfortable. It was easy to work with them and I enjoyed all communications before, during, and after. And their work is just beautiful!! I highly recommend these guys for any of your videography/photography needs.

I LOVE photography! I've captured tens of thousands of photographs and every single one of them is a memory. I recall everything about the times those photos were taken. I treat my clients' photos in the same, caring manner... that the memories I'm capturing for you are also cherished memories for me

My husband and I have worked with Dee several times over the years. he is so much fun to work with. His photos are always worth the wait and impress every time they are shown. He has such a great eye for capturing perfect moments. If you are looking to book with him and are unsure of a time frame, definitely ask for his opinion. He has done so many weddings and elopements all over the coast, he knows what hes doing and what hes talking about. Can't recommend enough!

I'm a Colorado-based wedding and elopement photographer! My approach is all about delivering a gallery that never goes out of style. It is my mission to capture the real you in a timeless, effortless, and intentional way. I'll be more than just a photographer - I am your weather stalker, tissue holder, dress bustler, location finder, defender, timeline planner, hype woman, rogue eyelash fixer, tie straightener, lipstick holder, water provider, confidant, and more. All of this and more I do for you because I love serving the smitten, joyous, wandering lovers.

Claire goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease as a couple on your wedding day. We started off with Claire doing our engagement shoot and could not even imagine not booking her for the wedding as well regardless of what state each of us were in. She spends time to get to know her couples which sets her apart from any other photographer we inquired with. She truly is just amazing at what she does and even better, an amazing genuine person. Every single picture that was captured between our engagement photoshoot and wedding truly depicted the exact essence of how the day, the moments, and the emotions felt. I cannot say enough positive things about Claire and will forever be grateful for having crossed paths with such a good and talented human being 3
