Baileaves Photography

  • Serves Bay City, OR

Hi! My name is Bailey and I am the owner of Baileaves Photography. I am a travel and destination wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I travel all over the world to create timeless cinematic images of couples.

We are so grateful to have had Bailey as our wedding photographer. She was very kind, respectful, and professional. My partner and I loved how encouraging and supportive she was. We appreciated how and where she posed us, taking into consideration where the lighting was going, especially since we had many passing clouds affecting the sun exposure. As a result, she got a lot of wonderful pictures with gorgeous dappled lighting and beautiful greenery. She sent us previews of our wedding within 48 hours and she sent us the rest of our photos by the deadline she communicated with us at the beginning. Knowing how awesome our previews turned out, it was no surprise that the rest of our photos also turned out as amazing. We are very happy to have worked with her! Thanks, Bailey!!

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Bay City, OR

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

I'm Val - I value authenticity, connection, and love. I feel so lucky to spend my days photographing weddings, traveling to new places, and witnessing couples sharing their heart. I can’t think of a better way to spend my days. As someone who is married, I deeply understand how significant and special a wedding day truly is. It’s about the love, the people, and all the emotions felt—the moments you’ll cherish and reminisce for decades to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Every time I see that a couple has booked Valerie I know the day will not only be captured perfectly but that the experience for us as a venue and the couple will be stress-free. She is always professional and able to let the couple enjoy the day while capturing all the important moments. Speaking to her talent, our assistant planner got married last year and of all the photographers she could have chosen she picked Valerie and of course the pictures were stunning. Just look through her galleries and you will know why she is one of our favorites.

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

Hi! I’m Jules. I like to think of myself as an artistic storyteller. I love capturing LOVE and have been a professional photographer for 12+ years (don’t let the baby face fool you). I want to know what makes you & your partner tick. Every couple is different & I love making your photos feel like YOU. (& for you to feel super hot, obv.) I would love to share full galleries with you and would be HONORED to create art with you on your dreamiest day! Storytelling is why I do this day in and day out. We don’t do boring over here ;)

We are so so SO grateful we found Jules/Datura Photo to shoot our wedding. She did an incredible job capturing the emotions and the overall story of our day and we couldn’t be happier with ouyr wedding photos! We also utilized Jules for our videography and we are in love with our wedding video. You can really tell when you watch our video and look at our photos that we had a photographer who just loves love. She told our love story so beautifully. You can also tell that she knows so much about composition, lighting, etc. She does a great job with giving directions for where to stand and poses to do for those of us who know nothing about getting our picture taken. Not only is she an incredibly talented and gifted artist in her photography, but she is a total gem to work and spend the day with. She was also super communicative and professional throughout the entire process, went above and beyond and stayed late to get pics at our after party, and as an added bonus she was amazing with the kids in our wedding party and getting them to smile for the camera! We could literally go on and on about how amazing she was. We would highly recommend booking Datura Photo for any wedding, but especially if you want your photos to feel artsy, vintage, romantic, and emotional.

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted community of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, storytelling side, with hints of sophisticatication, hues of modern relevance & overall timeless imagery.

Jesi B. Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, she was incredibly responsive and provided great direction throughout the entire process. As a photographer myself, my wife and I knew how important it was to find someone truly exceptional, and Jesi B. exceeded our expectations in every way. The quality of her work is simply top-tier - the photos are stunning and truly captured the joy and beauty of our special day. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Jesi B. Photography, as she took care of everything seamlessly. We are so grateful to have found her and would not hesitate to use her again in the future. Very glad we did!

We're Hunter and Lindsey Wickert! We're a husband and wife photographer team based out of Vancouver, Washington! We love doing what we do best— we make your photos feel like your memories. Whether that means walking along the beach near Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach with you, snow-shoeing up at the foot of Mt. St. Helens for your Engagement Photoshoot, following you down the aisle in some of our gorgeous Pacific Northwest scenery, or playing in piles of leaves for your beautiful family photos and getting those magical shots. We want you to be able to look back at our work and feel exactly how you felt the moment we took them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lindsey and her husband are amazing. So far we've only done our engagement shoot and it was honestly so much fun. My fiance and I have never gotten professional photos taken so we were both a bit nervous but by the end of it, we felt like models. They are so lovely to talk to and not one moment felt awkward or weird. We had the wonderful opportunity to take our pictures at Mt. Rainer and the pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL. She did a fantastic job overall and even brought bug spray for us (my gosh the mosquitos were insane haha). We received our photos faster than I thought and with any change/adjustment I wanted to make she was on top of it. I'll be back after the wedding to share more, but I can't recommend her enough.

The most consistent feedback I get from my couples is that I put them at ease. Almost everyone is uncomfortable in front of the camera, but that’s why I’m there — to help you look and feel great creating memories. Your wedding photographer is in your personal space on one of the most emotional days of your life - make sure the person in your corner is someone who adds to the joy on your day. With me, you get someone who can go with the flow, has your back, and seamlessly adapts to the energy in the room.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen on a styled shoot, and I cannot express enough how wonderful the experience was. From start to finish, Jen demonstrated a level of professionalism that truly sets her apart in the world of photography. First and foremost, the end result speaks volumes about Jen's talent. The photos she captured during our styled shoot were nothing short of stunning. Her ability to manipulate light, composition, and color is truly remarkable. Each image was a work of art, and I was left in awe of her skill as I flipped through the final gallery. Jen has a knack for capturing not just moments, but emotions and atmosphere, making her photos come alive in the most extraordinary way. What sets Jen apart even further is her clear and unique vision. It was evident throughout our collaboration that she had a well-defined style and a creative perspective that breathed life into our project. Her ability to conceptualize and execute her ideas is a testament to her artistic prowess. Jen's photographs have a certain magic to them, a distinctive quality that makes them stand out in a crowded field. Working with Jen was an absolute delight. Her friendly and approachable demeanor put everyone at ease during the shoot, fostering a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. It's evident that she genuinely loves what she does, and this passion radiates through her work. Jen's enthusiasm is infectious, and it was impossible not to have fun during our time together.

Hey all you cute love birds!!! I am a Boise area photographer, BUT I LOVE to travel and would absolutely kill to travel for you! Okay, not literally kill but ya know. I would love love to travel for you! I am a wedding photographer, who specializes in elopements and intimate weddings! Do I still offer more traditional big weddings? HELL YES. My business is all about creating exceptional experiences! I want to make sure your day is so special, and that you get the images of your dreams! I try to stray from the traditional, and go for more fun, unique experiences! If you're looking for that, let's get this party started!!

I had seen Jordan's photos on instagram and fallen in love with their aesthetic. I've been in traditional posed wedding photos as part of the wedding party and family in the past and I just never look like myself in them. I cannot pose and get very self-conscious if I know my picture is being taken. But having candid moments from the day really meant the world to me and that is what really resonated with me in Jordan's style; the documentary feel. Beyond this, there is this incredible eye for lighting and angle and capturing just the right moment that this duo (because it is Jordan and her husband, Trent) brings that I didn't find in any other portfolio I went through when looking for a photographer. She was super patient and understanding when walking me through the process on our introduction and every other subsequent call leading up to the day. We weren't going to be using engagement photos for the traditional announcements, but I had this idea of a wonderful series of photos at this location on the island where we were having the wedding that we could have as kind of our own celebration of our engagement and they were instantly on board and agreed to come out the day before to do those photos at that time. It ended up being a really lovely time for us 4 to bond and get used to each other so I highly recommend doing some kind of engagement photo session even if you're a photo-averse person like myself and the thought of doing more photos seems like the last thing you want to do. Jordan and Trent are so calm and relaxed that it made it really easy to be natural around them. And then on the day they were absolute rockstars. We were, as is surprising to maybe no one but us, running super late and they very gracefully helped manage our extended families and the venue to keep the pressure off us while still getting everything done they could. We showed up to the venue with 20 minutes to the ceremony and we somehow managed to get all our family photos (with toddlers and blended modern family combinations in the mix) and still be only 5 minutes late on the ceremony start. Then we snuck away for sunset photos and that ended up being this absolutely beautiful time we got to spend together during the reception, not awkward at all. And I truly think that's because of how natural and talented this duo are at their jobs. They were like the most lovely and helpful guests at the wedding, truly like having friends who are photographing the day for you. They made the day exactly what I hoped for, this beautiful, cherished time spent with family and friends in a magical place celebrating being all together and I cannot imagine my wedding without them there. I don't have the full album yet, but I do have the engagement photos and an absolutely breathtaking sneak peek of the day and they are so beautiful I almost don't believe it. Hopefully I won't need another wedding photographer (hahahaha) but if I do need family photos for the future they will be my first call.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles.

If you have the opportunity to work with Rithy, owner of RTFaith photography, you should take it. Rithy did our engagement photos, maternity photos, and wedding photos. For our wedding she created the perfect timeline and helped us stay on track. Rithy is easy to work with and she’s so much fun. She helps everyone feel comfortable for photos. She also has an eye for details, and in the moment was able to make small adjustments that many won’t be able to see. Check out her Instagram. She’s so amazing.

Emily is incredible. She is like no other- her work is incredible, timeless, and beautiful but the best thing about working with her is the way she makes you feel. She is the kindest, most generous and thoughtful person you will ever meet. Emily has shot my wedding, engagement session, family pictures and graduation pictures and I feel so honored she chose to capture these precious moments in my life. She has made each of these moments unforgettable because of how incredibly talented, kind and loving she is. Her work is perfect, and if I could have her shoot my whole life I would !!

We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

My (now) husband and I chose to hire Jennifer from Captured Couture as our photographer for our wedding. We were both blown away by her images posted on her website and Instagram page and after having a phone interview we were convinced she was the one for us. Jennifer was communicative and so easy to work with. We were able to get a free engagement session with the purchase of our package which was awesome because we were able to meet her in person before our actual wedding. The day of the wedding there were a few minor hiccups as our wedding was the same day as the Detroit Pride fest, and we weren’t sure some of our desired locations would be accessible. Without a moment of hesitation Jennifer, who knows the city of Detroit incredibly well, was able to secure a location for our first look and our wedding party photos which turned out to be perfect. Jennifer and her assistant LeAnn captured every part of our wedding with some much care and attention to detail. Our photos are spectacular and we are so thankful for our photography team. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Captured Couture to anyone looking for wedding photography.
