Jenny Renee' Photo

Bend, OR
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

Some moments ask to be witnessed, not staged. Your wedding day isn’t a series of poses, it’s what unfolds naturally, often in between the expected. My approach is documentary at its core, guided by an editorial eye. Based in Bend Oregon/ San Francisco and working throughout Europe and select destinations, I photograph weddings for couples who value presence over performance, and experience over expectation.

Jenny is truly the most talented photographer! Her work is stunning, abstract, timeless, and completely unique. From the moment we saw her photos, we knew we had to have her, which is why we flew her all the way to Italy for our wedding (even with so many amazing photographers there). Beyond her artistry, she is incredibly organized and calm, keeping everything on schedule while making sure every meaningful shot was captured. She went above and beyond, delivering the most high-quality, beautifully edited photos of our day. Most importantly, Jenny feels like a friend I’ve known forever, we were so comfortable, so happy, and endlessly grateful she was there with us on our big day!

I’m an inclusive intimate wedding and elopement photographer located in Colorado but will be living in Central Oregon this October and November (see my announcement about a complimentary roll of film deal!). I love photographing elopements and my approach to shooting is to bring out the playful energy in my couples and prioritize their connection to one another as well as my connection with them. I travel to ALL 50 states as well as internationally! Let's alchemize your love into art <3

Lindsey was absolutely incredible, she captured our wedding and was able to cultivate the exact vibe I wanted for our photos. It was a super easy process to get started with her and she was so communicative along the way leading up to our big day. She was also just lovely to work with, made us laugh so many times, and was so incredibly accommodating of our chaos. The photo previews we got had us both crying because they were so beautiful. We HIGHLY recommend her and cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you Lindsey!!!!

I am a sentimental wedding photographer who loves celebrating free-spirited and natural couples who love the outdoors. Camping has always been my church. The outdoors are my sanctuary.

Elopements and intimate weddings are my primary specialty, but if my work resonates with you, let's talk!

Capturing Authentic Stories That Transcend Generations || There’s nothing I find more special than witnessing a couple celebrate their love in the most meaningful way possible – whether that’s surrounded by loved ones or in a private moment shared between just the two of them. Your wedding day should feel thoughtful and intentional. It’s about creating moments that resonate with who you are as a couple – moments that evoke a sense of calm and reflection on the journey that brought you together and the adventures that lie ahead.

Tori isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer; she’s an extraordinary person. She brings such a positive, fun, and down-to-earth energy, making the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. She goes above and beyond to connect with her couples even before the session begins, and it’s so evident in her work how much she values building genuine relationships. Her ability to capture a wedding day beautifully and authentically—while being completely unobtrusive—is a testament to her incredible skill. And not only does she create stunning portraits of the couple, but she also has an unmatched talent for capturing the love, joy, and bonds shared with family and friends. Tori has this remarkable gift of making you feel seen, celebrated, and absolutely radiant, which truly sets her apart.

Howdy! I'm Gwen. I am believer in love at first sight and that travel is the best teacher (experiencing new places makes my soul sing). I have been photographing weddings for over 13 years. From Iceland to Antarctica, Hawaii to Alaska, Shanghai to Scotland and frequently in Colorado my home-state, I've captured photos of incredible humans full of love. I quickly found my passion is documenting intimate weddings and elopements; those full of intention and a little untraditional. I support ALL clients and their right to marry who and how they choose.

Gwen is absolutely incredible. As our wedding photographer, she made us feel completely comfortable. This was incredibly important to me (the bride) because I always feel awkward getting my picture taken. She put me at ease and made me feel confident in front of the camera-something I have never experienced before. She was able to capture beautiful moments without us feeling posed. She flew to Colorado and drove for hours to get to our elopement site. She was punctual, and showed up with so much enthusiasm and excitement for our big day. She is a dream to be around-exactly the type of person you want around on your wedding day. It's not every day you find professionals with true heart and talent behind every inch of their work. Gwen was amazing to work with-she captured every beautiful moment of our day and turned our photos into masterpieces that we will cherish forever. Thank you Gwen!!!

They were so creative with ideas to get amazing shots, including a really cool long exposure to capture the nighttime sky. I couldn’t have asked for a better team or more beautiful photos.

Hiring Calea as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and so easy to work with—but on the wedding day itself, she truly blew us away. Calea has this amazing ability to capture not just the big, beautiful moments, but also the little in-between ones that mean the most. She handled our wild, fun-loving crew with such grace and patience, and somehow managed to keep everything organized while still letting us just be ourselves. The photos she delivered feel like pure magic—every glance, laugh, and happy tear preserved in the most stunning way. And she always goes above and beyond what you imagine. Beyond her talent, Calea felt like family. She blended right in with our guests, and so many people commented on how wonderful she was to be around. I’m endlessly thankful that she got to experience the joy and love of our day right alongside us, and even more thankful that she gave us the gift of reliving it all through her lens.

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + adventure weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people have the wedding of their dreams in magical outdoor spaces. When you choose to elope, you’re choosing to get married free of society’s wedding day expectations. So go wild! Spend the entire day in your favorite place, with your favorite person. Wear a fancy outfit, or wear your hiking boots. Invite your dog instead of your mom’s second cousin. Share your first kiss under the stars instead of under an altar. In the great outdoors, you write the wedding rules. And I’m here to help make it an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began looking for a photographer for our micro-wedding, we gravitated towards Nadia’s images over and over again. Not only did they capture raw, intimate moments between couples and families, but they elevated those moments in elegant and natural landscapes of the PNW; everything we wanted. We reached out and set up a consultation call immediately. We were initially nervous and felt very unprepared to speak with photographers because we had zero ideas for what our special day would look like, but after our call with Nadia we were confident that Venture Ever After was the right choice for us. She was so knowledgeable and did a TON of legwork planning our timeline to best capture the moments we wanted in the lighting we needed, recommending a variety of locations for some private moments as a couple and group activities with our family, and keeping us grounded and calm throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Nadia took the reigns and gently guided us through the day with compassion and grace. She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details. She even conquered some pretty crazy heights armed with multiple cameras and a walky-talky to capture some dramatic and beautiful couple’s portraits. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Nadia is one of the most genuine and kind people I’ve met. She has a knack for keeping elopement/wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. My partner and I truly felt like models. I feel so blessed to have our wedding photographed by her and, above all, be able to call her a friend. I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW. In fact, I hope to be able to visit her and capture anniversaries and momentous occasions for our family long into the future.

I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough.

Hi, my name is Maria Davis! I am a documentary style photographer capturing love stories on both film and digital. I am a homegrown and local Winston-Salem, NC girl with a second location in Boston, MA. You can usually find me along the upper east coast, but I happily offer my services within the USA with $0 travel feels.

If you have the opportunity to work with Maria we recommend you take that chance while you’ve got it. She is an AMAZING photographer, fun to work with, and is so thoughtful/ helpful during the planning journey. We’ve already had a friend say they’d hit her up if they get married because they loved our experience and photos so much. 10000% could not recommend her enough. When we were looking for a wedding and engagement photographer we wanted someone who was creative in their shots, had crystal clear photo quality, and had a true to life/vibrant photography style - and Maria was the perfect fit! We had a phone consultation where she asked thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple but also helped asked things related to photography to help us communicate our desires and ensure she was the right fit. Maria wants her couples to have the dreamiest day and I loved how intentional she was with helping us communicate our vision - she’s the pro and knew exactly what to ask to get us thinking! We were immediately obsessed and left in awe at some sample galleries, so we signed right away. When it came time for our engagement photos we had this super fun pre-shoot questionnaire that once again consisted of thoughtful questions (our planner was SO impressed with them), such as if there were any specific shots we wanted or our comfort level with photos. My now husband and I sat down with wine and went through the questions together, so that itself was a fun planning experience. We’re not the most comfortable in front the camera so it was cool to feel seen and have her understand us before we arrived to the shoot. And let me tell you we had the BEST time! We felt comfortable so quickly and the shoot flew by. The photos turned out AMAZING and we got even more excited for the wedding. Before the wedding we had a questionnaire to go over our desires for the wedding (and even had a chance to put secret info if you had any surprises for people or just wanted her to be aware of certain family dynamics you don’t want widely disseminated). On our wedding day Maria even handled a situation for us when we asked for help and she was the most discreet and professional and got us taken care of. We just got our full gallery back and the photos are the dreamiest - incredible sunset photos, creative and thoughtful detail shots, and excellent photos of our guests. The gallery captures our day perfectly and is everything and more than we could have asked for. Maria is timely, talented, professional, a cool person, and is someone we’d hire again in a heartbeat. Plus, she’s always down for an adventure so if you want to travel I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you there and help make your photography dreams come true. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever. All photos credited to Maria at MTD Photo Co.

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids.

I have been a professional wedding photographer for 8+ seasons and captured hundreds of weddings from the Rocky Mountains to the West Coast. I am both a storyteller and historian with my camera in hand. I love to incorporate the amazing landscapes with rich colors and natural light. My focus is on my couples feeling comfortable in front of the camera. I like to give some direction and allow for real moments to happen rather than anything being forced. My work has been featured everywhere from ABC (The Bachelor franchise), Green Wedding Shoes, Oregon Wedding Day, BRIDES.

Ashleigh was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer for our October wedding in Ashland, Oregon! We’re both a little camera-shy, but she made us feel comfortable and made the process way more fun than we ever expected. The photos completely exceeded our expectations and are beyond stunning—they’ll be cherished forever. We couldn’t recommend her enough!

Kyle Carnes Photography

Hi, I’m Kyle. I’m Northwest born, Portland based, and like to think that I have pines trees sprouting from my skin and sun-soaked glacial runoff coursing through my veins. Aside from photographing weddings, I enjoy strenuous hikes with a view as much as indie flicks, comic books, carving powdery slopes, rock climbing, and Trail Blazers games. I like to share these details because I strongly believe that connecting with the couples I collaborate with is integral to the creative process of photographing a wedding. A strong connection will result in the best images possible.

Kyle Carnes Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on a wedding at the Water Oasis. His communication was clear, prompt, and incredibly understanding of the timeline and special moments throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was top-notch, with a masterful use of light and shadows to create truly artistic and timeless photos. He captured all the special moments of their big day and stayed on schedule, making the experience smooth and stress-free. It was an absolute joy to have him as part of their wedding vendor team!
