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.

Photography By Cambrae

Portland, OR
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $950

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.

She was patient and creative when trying to capture photos with our sweet dog River, and made the entire photo session fun and relaxed for everyone involved. Cambrae's attention to detail and ability to pose us perfectly resulted in photos that beautifully captured the joy and love of our special day. We are thrilled with the high-quality work Cambrae delivered and would recommend her to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Tyler was our wedding photographer back in March of 2020 and was recommended to me by my sister, who's wedding he also photographed. Tyler communicated consistently from day one and was transparent about prices and expectations as well. His prices are better than we could have possibly hoped for and the quality of work he does is spectacular! Tyler took a variety of angles for each pose and made sure to have multiple coloration options for each pose (color, black&white, etc.). He also made sure to get a lot of candid photos to truly capture the genuine feelings from everyone on our special day!! We would highly recommend Tyler for all of your photography needs!

Hey there! I'm Katie, a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. Capturing magical moments through photography is my passion and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living. My goal is to create beautiful, timeless images that will transport you back to your wedding day every time you look at them. Aside from being a photographer, I'm also a mom to two human kids and 3 fur babies, and I've been married to my high school sweetheart/boy next door for 17 years. I love coffee, Gilmore Girls, and scrolling TikTok ;p

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!!

My approach to photography focuses on capturing the essence of naturalness, freedom, love, boldness, brightness, and the richness of the present moment.

I have done two photo shoots with Rosie (one individual and one couples shoot) so far. She is a dream to work with - she is punctual, kind, and does her homework in terms of scouting the location, posing ideas etc. before showing up for the session. 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!

Malarkey Media

Portland, OR
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $750

I’ve been attached to my camera for the past 15 years and have done a little of everything, with work appearing in Marie Claire, on book covers, in web catalogues and in family albums. Whatever your needs are, I’ll be happy to curate exactly what you want. My shoots are fun, relaxed, and range from quirky to poetic. I choose to set my prices at a competitive rate because I don’t think that professional, quality photos should be a luxury item — they should be accessible to everyone. Thank you so much for allowing me to document precious moments in your life!

My daughter hired Marlarkey Media for her wedding and I thought the results were wonderful. So many great candid shots of the people who were there celebrating on top of all the important couple photos. And tho I am no expert, I thought her photo editing was really perfect, but probably because she erased just the right number of wrinkles from the mother of the bride--I know I look better but no one else would be able to tell. This was an easy five stars.

Portland, OR
  • Classic style

Thanks so much for taking the time to see if I might be a good fit to photograph your wedding! I've found that one of the most important factors in a great wedding is enjoying the people you surround yourself with. Since I will basically be your third wheel on one of the best days of your life it's important that we click well! That said, some things I’m passionate about include photography(obviously), the NBA, vinyl records, pretty movies and tv shows with no story, and a ton of other stuff. I tend to be pretty enthusiastic so if you think “I wonder if Nate is into..." I likely am!

Nate Meeds was the perfect wedding photographer for us. From the beginning, his communication was quick and easy, making the whole process stress-free. Nate has such a fun, easygoing personality that put us at ease during the photo sessions - which was great, since I don't really enjoy having my picture taken! Despite my discomfort, Nate made it so easy and the final photos turned out amazing. His work is truly great quality and captured all the special moments of our wedding day, especially the epic dance party photos that are unmatched. We are thrilled with how the photos turned out and would highly recommend Nate Meeds to any couple looking for a fantastic wedding photographer.

Ashley Cynthia Photography provided excellent service for our wedding photography needs. Ashley's communication throughout the planning process was fast, caring and thoughtful - she truly wanted to understand our vision and preferences.

Most importantly, the quality of Ashley's work is simply stunning. Her photographic style resulted in elegant, unique and professional photos that we will treasure forever. She perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't recommend Ashley highly enough for wedding photography services.

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.

Picking a photographer was one of the most nerve wracking parts of wedding planning for me. There are so many options out there, and you really want to make sure you have the best of the best to capture every amazing moment of your big day. Mia was just that, and nothing short of spectacular. She is very knowledgeable and has an artistic eye that wowed both my husband and I. We got so many compliments on our wedding photos. From her communication to her creativity to her bubbly personality.. I cannot say enough good things about Mia. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our photos. We were so lucky to have her as our photographer!! If I could do it all over again, I would choose Mia every time.

Victoria is an amazing photographer to work with! I found her on relatively short notice for my proposal (she said yes!) and had to change my plans due to inclement weather, to which Vic was flexible enough to accommodate. She was able to hideout to catch the moment candidly, followed by a beautiful beach photoshoot. Thank you Victoria for being part of our special moment!

  • Serves Portland, OR

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.

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!!

Fun, professional, and unique photos! Mahdi is the best photographer you could ever choose, book him! The photos he takes are flawless, creative, and stunning. He has an incredible eye and a knack for taking amazing candids of even the most camera-shy person. But the real reason we are obsessed with Mahdi, and will be going to him for all our future photography needs, is how wonderful he is to work with. His professional, easy-going nature is so calming through the stress of wedding planning. He is hard-working, very reassuring, easy to talk to, flexible, and dedicated to his clients. Also, we received all of our photos shortly after our wedding which was a nice touch! We are so glad we went with him and we can’t recommend Mahdi enough!! Mahdi, thank you so much for the hard work and care you put into our wedding. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
