  • Serves Bay City, OR

I’m Jackie—traveler at heart, ocean-obsessed, and currently DIY-ing a little house by the sea (paint in my hair is pretty common). I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with a Canadian for 13 years, which has taught me a lot about communication, patience, and showing up with intention. I prioritize presence in the everyday sense of slowing down and being where my feet are. I’m always chasing a life that feels grounded, intentional, and fully lived. And I seek that same vibe in the work I create with you!

We can't say enough great things about Jackie!! She was so helpful throughout our elopement planning and checked in frequently. On the day of, she brought such a calm, positive energy. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, captured every meaningful detail, and somehow balanced being both a fun presence and a quiet observer for the most intimate moments. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly reflect the emotion and beauty of the day. We're so grateful for her talent and warmth!

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.

“I spent quite a few weeks researching photographers for our wedding because I knew that our photos would be something we’d treasure and look back on with pride. Mia is probably one of my top three favorite things from my wedding that I truly was excited about. Her personality is super bubbly, kind and humble. My husband and I are incredibly awkward people in front of a camera and she works with it completely and makes your pictures look amazing. Our family and friends absolutely love our pictures and the work Mia has produced. She had wonderful recommendations on places to take wedding pictures due to her experience. We LOVE our wedding album as well. The quality of it is exceptional! Mia is worth every penny. We HIGHLY recommend her!”

Hi, I'm Georgy Shishkin — a wedding and elopement photographer with over 19 years of experience capturing love stories in breathtaking landscapes. Based in Oregon, I photograph weddings across the Pacific Northwest, California, and British Columbia. My background in photojournalism taught me how to anticipate real emotion, while my years in wedding photography taught me how to guide and support couples in front of the camera. I love helping people who’ve never modeled before feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely connected. Every story is personal to me — I’m not just your photographer, I’m your teammate throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Georgy was an incredible photographer for our wedding! When choosing a photographer, we were so nervous because we felt uncomfortable being in front of a camera and wanted someone who was professional, had ideas, and a timeless style. Georgy came in with ideas for locations and poses. Our package came with an engagement shoot, which helped us get comfortable with getting our picture taken and getting to know him better. This made our wedding day that much smoother. He even traveled a couple of hours to meet us.  Our wedding day was so smooth. He came in prepared and has such a good eye, always looking for new perspectives. Somehow, he was everywhere, all at once. He made sure to capture everything we had talked about, even when we weren’t sure if we had time. He found special moments we didn’t even know were happening, captured all the big moments, and the subtle details. Looking back on our photos helps us relive the day over and over! We have gotten so many comments on how good he was throughout the entire night. We can’t recommend Georgy enough for your big day!

We’re Hunter and Lindsey Wickert— a husband-and-wife photography team based in Vancouver, Washington, serving couples across the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is simple: create photographs that feel like your memories. From the shoreline near Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach to snowy trails at the base of Mount St. Helens, forest aisles, and golden fall family sessions, we chase real moments, movement, and connection. We want you to look back and feel it all again— the nerves, the joy, the laughter, and the quiet in-between. Artful, natural, and deeply personal— your story, exactly as it unfolded.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lindsey and Hunter captured all of the moments of our elopement with so much care and attention to detail! We had a special request to include our cat (in his tuxedo of course) and although he didn't want to cooperate, they managed to take the most perfect family portraits we could have asked for. The candid photos leading up to and after our ceremony are so special to us now. It allowed us to see the little stolen looks between each other that we may have missed throughout the day. Our preview pictures were ready right away, and the entire gallery was prepared not long after. There are so many incredible pictures that we want to frame and show off to everyone! They exceeded all of our expectations and I highly recommend them!

I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

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.

KNCAPTURES 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)

  • Serves Bay City, OR

Hi friend!! I'm Karmen. I believe love deserves to be documented with intention, honesty, and care. The kind that feels cinematic but real. Elevated but effortless. I believe your wedding day should feel like you, not a production performed for the camera. The most meaningful images live in the in between. Quiet nerves before the ceremony, hands finding each other without thinking, laughter that spills out when the timeline pauses. Your photos are never about perfection. They are about presence. Thoughtfully guided when needed, and quietly observed when the moment belongs to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Karmen (KNCAPTURES) for our San Diego wedding and truly couldn’t be happier with that decision. From our very first call, she made us feel seen and heard — not just like another couple in the queue. We ended up choosing her biggest package because we wanted the engagement session and the custom wedding album, and both ended up being so worth it. The engagement session helped us get comfortable in front of the camera, and Karmen brought out such natural moments between us that we still get compliments on those photos. On the wedding day, she was calm, professional, and somehow everywhere at once. She captured everything — the emotional, the fun, the in-between — and delivered it all in her signature cinematic, timeless style. What really blew us away was the hardback album we worked on together after the wedding. Karmen helped us narrow down our favorites and designed something that felt truly personal. It’s sitting on our coffee table and we flip through it all the time — it tells the story of our day perfectly.

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!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with our wedding photographer! We had a more formal, traditional wedding, which wasn’t the type of wedding Lauren typically shoots.
