Marla Manes Photography

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

When I’m photographing couples, I know I’m doing more than just taking pictures– I’m creating memories that will long outlast my business. I’m documenting your love, your personalities, your adventure, and hopefully, all of the feelings of wonder and excitement you feel while we’re taking photos in that National Park, that airbnb, or in your backyard! I’m a transplant from Florida that’s obsessed with the beauty the PNW has to offer. I’m down to adventure absolutely anywhere with you, and I’d love the opportunity to capture your love!
