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

She captured the spirit and heart of our day with so many precious candid photos in addition to our specified family/friend shots. She did everything we wanted and nothing we didn’t— what more can you ask for?? Her natural editing style makes her photos timeless to boot. We can’t recommend her 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.

JD was awesome to work with and we absolutely loved his work! His flexibility that weekend and excitement to capture every moment we wanted was truly remarkable. When we were searching for a videographer for our wedding, his services were reasonably priced, and we were very happy for what was included in his packages. He provided lightly edited footage for all of our key moments such as the service, toasts, dances, etc…something that we didn’t find in any other videographers in our search. On the weekend, he rolled with the punches, and we will happily cherish our wedding videos for so many years to come! Thank you, JD!

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 such a wonderful photographer for our wedding! We absolutely love our photos and had an amazing experience with Kendra. It rained on our big day, but Kendra was very helpful in handling the chaos of transitioning inside and capturing our day in spite of the weather. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and it is all captured thanks to Kendra.

No Rules Photography

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
We cannot recommend Sacred Harbor enough! We had to postpone our big wedding due to Covid-19, but we decided to elope in the Boston Public Garden with our immediate families and Daniela as our photographer. She was amazing with our families, guiding and directing them (which can be difficult) to make sure that the ceremony went as smoothly as possible and so that we got the photos we wanted. She has an amazing eye for lighting and imagining the picture before she takes it. Daniela knew all the right spots to take photos with certain landmarks and beautiful scenery and she made sure that we looked natural and not awkward in the photos. We could not believe how gorgeous the photos ended up being! Plus she stayed up all night to edit them and get them to us the next day! Daniela is truly amazing at what she does and she made us feel and look like celebrities in our photos.

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!

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.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie captured moments that took my breath away. Her style and skill is every bride’s dream. She delivers everything you adore from those Pinterest and Instagram wedding photos. So there is no question she can deliver what she is looking for. And we are beyond thrilled with all of our photos. The sneak peeks are also so much fun (she sends a batch of photos shortly after she shoots you). But where Lacie shines and what I have to tell you about is everything else. She truly went above and beyond. She’s not just a photographer, she’ll be one of your favorite people on your special day. Yes, Lacie is kind and friendly and comforting and just the kind of person you need on your wedding day (and who you wished you roomed with in college). But she is so much more. Here are just some of the few meaningful things Lacie did that I noticed that I’ll forever carry with me. Firstly, I had a very important rosary I wanted to photograph, and with the chaos, I had forgotten. It would have broken my heart if I left it behind. Lacie remembered. I got fixated on an insignificant hiccup on my wedding day that could have ruined my day. Lacie redirected my attention to the things that really mattered and brightened up my mood immediately. Leading up to the wedding, Lacie advocated for me and my husband ensuring us she was fully dedicated to only us on the day, literally saying “You and Sean are my priority.” Nobody and nothing would take her attention away from us. She was always quick to respond to texts, I could go to her for quick wedding advice, and she’s genuinely so passionate about her craft. Lacie could really be a wedding planner with how much she knows. Other vendors loved working with her, especially our videographers. She was so quick, efficient, and took initiative. She gave them space and skillfully took turns capturing moments with them. With a big wedding party and spacious venue, we kept losing track of people for pictures, Lacie corralled them masterfully. She’s not afraid to get people to focus and get the photos done, but also in the most polite and respectful way. I watched videos of brides saying I wish this or that moment was captured. Sometimes I’d forget whether I had those moments captured myself. Then I go to Lacie’s photos and every single thing that brides mentioned got missed by their photographer she captured for me. Her vibe! She’s so positive and cheery. I was so nervous and also worried about how dark my church was. She got me excited about it after turning it into a positive saying it would look like the theater and she could absolutely work with it. I texted her a shoot list the night before our wedding. She carried that around and took it so seriously making sure she captured everything I listed. I made a Pinterest board of photos I liked and she remembered ones I forgot I included in there. She was my favorite vendor (tied with my incredible florist @dazyflorals) and the vendor I had no worries about it. I didn’t have to check in with her. I could trust her with my eyes closed. She’d be where she needed to be on time, professional, and prepared. I’m going to miss her. Sign her and soak up her sunshine for me, will ya?

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

Wow, where do I even begin?! Mioara is one of the most talented photographers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I interviewed about 10 photographers over the phone and she totally captured my heart during our conversation. She is so so warm and caring and just a true pleasure to be around. She took the absolute most amazing photos of us during our engagement shoot in Chicago that we’ll cherish these photos forever. She is so fun and makes you feel so comfortable during the process. Her personality is so bubbly and friendly that we instantly became friends. My fiancé absolutely loved her and we can’t wait for her to capture our wedding next year. Do yourself a favor and hire Mioara immediately. You will not regret it, trust me!! The way she captures photos and the way she works with lighting is captivating. Her photos are timeless and absolutely beautiful. I can’t speak more highly of her! She’s the best ever!!!!

I have known Naomi for many years so there was no question who I would turn to for my wedding photos when I got engaged. Her creative brain and fantastic personal style means she comes up with the most original ideas both ahead of time and in the moment when inspiration strikes. She is organized, kind, and responsive in her communication and was really able to plug into my personal style and come up with ideas that I didn’t even know I wanted. Her creative, efficient, and enthusiastic approach quickly got us through all the shots we wanted and made it fun for everyone. The highlight was the Wes Anderson-inspired short film she created, which perfectly encapsulated the joy and whimsy of our wedding. We are thrilled with the final product and couldn't recommend Northwest Hearts Photography more highly.

My husband and I hired Tyler to shoot our wedding. After seeing the fantastic photos on his website, we knew we wanted a telephone interview. That phone call sealed the deal. He listened when we told him what we wanted and was willing to provide the pictures we asked for. Other photographers told us, "yes, you DO want the getting ready pictures" after I had just told him we DO NOT want them. Tyler just said, "whatever you want for the day works for me". All our communications from that point until the day of the wedding were professional, friendly, and polite. We had no doubt everything would be just as we hoped. And we were right! Tyler arrived early to get familiar with the venue (Skamania Lodge) and came prepared to take all the posed and candid shots we requested. We loved how comprehensive his candid shots were, capturing all of our wedding guests in their natural element. His high quality customer service continued on the day of the wedding and we felt great about trusting him to capture all those important moments. We continued to be impressed when we received our photos in a Dropbox just THREE DAYS after the wedding. They looked fantastic and were, indeed, exactly what we had asked from him. Tyler is an excellent photographer and we were also just so pleased with the business side of things as well. We could not be happier and would recommend him for any special event. Thank you, Tyler!!!

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!!

Hiring Klein’s Photography NW was the best decision we made, as a gift to the couple. The positivity and direction Katy gave was the perfect thing to capture this special moment. She went above and beyond to make sure all the “special” shots were taken, masked and all. 10/10 will hire her for (hopefully) grandchildren photos in the future.
