There are hardly words to describe how grateful we are to have worked with Katie! She captured our wedding day in a way that absolutely exceeded our hopes and expectations. She was so easy to work with, super flexible, super communicative, super helpful. She helped us get organized and advised us in ways to help the day run smoothly (both from a photography perspective and from a general logistics point of view as well). Her turn around time on photos was exceptionally quick and we have loved seeing our day through her lens. We cannot recommend Katie enough!!

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, where your best friends and family will come together. A time that you won’t get back. Let us memorialize it for you, so you can relive it with your grandkids forty years later. Our films and photographs capture every moment and will be passed down to your future generations. And anyone that won’t be able to attend your wedding will be able to take part through your wedding film.

Absolutely blown away by JD and Wildwood Media! From the moment we met him, we knew we were in the best hands. JD came equipped with top-of-the-line gear, but it was his artistic eye that really stood out. He didn’t just film our wedding—he crafted a beautiful story that perfectly captured every special moment, big and small. What truly sets JD apart is his ability to find those fleeting, emotional moments that make your wedding day unique. He blended into the background, yet managed to be everywhere at once, ensuring no detail was missed. His professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made him a joy to work with. The final video exceeded all our expectations—it wasn’t just a documentation of the day, it was a cinematic masterpiece that we’ll treasure forever. If you want a videographer who will not only capture your wedding but bring it to life in the most stunning way, JD is your guy!

I have done two photo shoots with Rosie (one individual and one couples shoot) so far.

She will let you shine and be yourself at the same time advise you on how to pose yourself better according to light throughout the shoot. She can make the most camera shy person comfortable in front of the lens. 100% recommend!

Hello! I'm Kendra, the face behind Kendi Photos. My style of wedding photography is a mix of candid and formal shots, ensuring a diverse array of photos in your gallery. My favorite part of wedding photography is being there for all the behind the scenes action that the guests don't get to see, especially intimate first look moments. I edit on the side of bright and true to color, enhancing photos without changing the entire vibe. I serve the Pacific Northwest and am based out of the Portland, OR area.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kendra was super friendly and easy to work with. Leading up to our wedding, she always responded quickly to our questions and was very on top of things. She captured all the big moments on our wedding day with some additional cool shots of the rings, sunset, and bouquet toss I wouldn't have thought to take. Photos were indoors and outdoors with a mix of bright and dim lighting. My family can be picky about photos, but they all really liked how the photos turned out. If you're looking for an excellent wedding photographer, my wife and I highly recommend Kendra!

Forget tradition. Screw the rules. You deserve photos that reflect your life, personality, and style, not some cookie-cutter session that looks like everyone else's. My name is Daniela (she/her). I'm a plus size, super tall queer. I'm detailed and organized, but am laid-back and will pivot quickly to adapt to changing circumstances. I believe in equity and inclusiveness of all loves, body types, and beings.  My favorite movie is Nightmare Before Christmas, I regularly rate dogs' butts, and I believe the highest compliment is being called "scrappy." 

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Daniela was amazing to work with! She got to know us as individuals and as a couple, which allowed her to capture us and our relationship in the most realistic way. Her calm and professional presence helped relax us on our big day, and made sure to check in with us consistently throughout the night. Our pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY, and we are forever grateful to have such a special day captured forever. We can never thank Daniela and her assistant, Sam, for all they have done for us!

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?

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Simply Wandering Photography for our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Emily captured the most beautiful moments of our special day with perfection. The photos are not just pictures; they are pieces of art that will be cherished for a lifetime. 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!! I highly recommend Simply Wandering Photography for their exceptional talent, professionalism, and passion for what they do. It was an honor being photographed by Emily!

Imagine Elopements Photography

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

We initially planned to elope at Crater Lake, which led us to Mia and Imagine Elopements. However, as the date approached, we opted to elope at our beautiful rented property to avoid added stress. Mia was exceptional throughout the planning process. She is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also friendly, attentive, and highly responsive, going above and beyond in her follow-through. Her expertise regarding Crater Lake, including permits, trails, and requirements, was impressive. She even contacted the park on our behalf to ensure everything was in order. Mia also knows the surrounding areas well and recommends trustworthy local vendors and activities geared toward our interests. Mia truly understood our vision for a stress-free, enjoyable day with our kids in a natural setting. Her flexibility (including her willingness to officiate our ceremony as well) allowed us to experience the day our way, resulting in photos that perfectly capture all of the emotions of the day. We adore the photos and relive our special day every time we look at them!

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
I don't even know where to begin this review. If you're like me and weighing/ weighed out 100's of photographers, I hope this post helps put Dana in your top 5 or immediately your number 1 pick. Short version: this sweet woman slipped in cow poo and continued to take our photos until she felt the job was done. Our love was captured in a way we didn't know it could be and we are eternally grateful for her and the experience she provided us. Long version: Dana went above and beyond for mine and my husband's wedding photos. Throughout the process leading up to the big day, she made sure to get to know us as a couple and what we were looking for. She made me feel comfortable enough to text her my never ending questions/requests. She even sent us our printed film photos along with a separate letter with a hand written note after our wedding! When we all finally met at our destination, her and her husband gave us some of their personal travel remedies and I still have some with us for our next trip!! Dana's work in and of itself is catering to the love of a couple. It felt very natural, she didn't force us to stand or sit or look a certain way, unless she could tell we were feeling bashful and needed some direction. She made sure to ask if there were any specific photos we were looking for - which I feel is a small but very big gesture as she was again focusing on us and our wants for the day. Her editing style is very warm and subtle, which I personally adore. My husband and I are very authentic people so having photos of us that felt authentic and raw were very important to us. Another deciding factor in choosing Dana was that her photos make sure to capture the scenery but still highlight and focus on the couple. We had a destination wedding in Switerland and felt this was something that many phoyographers did not do. But consistently in Danas work you can still see the focus on the couple with the scenery used as a compliment to them. She always made sure we were comfortable and that we were ourselves. We talked any chance we got which was an extra bonus as my husband and I both are socially anxious and she always made sure to have something kind or funny to say while making us feel comfortable and accepted by her and her husband. Now I know what you're thinking - how is this above and beyond she just seems really kind hearted. Yes that is one thing that was very important to us for our big day, having a team working for us, and with us, that focused on us and our needs, rather than their own. With that being said, this sweet woman literally did a summersault while slipping in cow poo on the side of a Swiss hill and continued to take our photos. Even after we pressed to go back to the hotel - of course we did after about another 15 minutes of photos. Now I can promise you I've heard a lot of things about wedding photographers, but I have never heard of one so dedicated to their work and clients to slip in poo and continue to do their work until they felt the job was done. Again Dana we cannot thank you enough for what you have gifted us with. To have our special moments captured for eternity is the greatest thing, and to actually love and adore these photos as well as the relationship you worked so hard to cultivate with us is the cherry on top. Thank you again for capturing our love.

Working with Naomi from Northwest Hearts Photography was a pleasure. She has a creative eye and took the time to get to know us as a couple. She was able to beautifully captured the emotion in our engagement photos and was willing to travel to our favorite spot on the coast. Unfortunately a last minute family emergency prevented her from shooting our wedding day. However, Naomi communicated with us promptly and had arranged for a capable backup photographer to step in, which helped ensure our special day went smoothly. While we were disappointed not to have Naomi herself there, we appreciated her professionalism and care in making sure we were taken care of. We'd recommend Naomi for her creativity, flexibility and dedication to her clients.

Tyler was our photographer for our wedding on 9/12/21 after our original photographer cancelled due to COVID. He was very friendly, and did a great job despite our wedding taking place during COVID and extreme wildfire smoke that hit the Pacific Northwest the weekend of our wedding. We had a small outdoor wedding with 40 people on my parents’ property, he captured our day beautifully, helping us pose in my dads vineyard and captured all the details of the ceremony and our little reception. I was very appreciative when he edited pictures of family members who were social distancing in pictures moving them closer together to preserve my memories. I am so thankful that he was willing to be there for me despite the terrible smokey air and risk of COVID. I highly recommend him.

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!!
