Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

Jenny Renee' Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
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 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. I believe in presence over presents. I believe in pushing boundaries, giving time is better than gifts and comfort over style. 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. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your story in the most romantic and heartfelt way—and feel like a friend by the end—Tori is the one!

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.

It's important when looking for a photographer that you don't only like their work- you also jive with them personally. Gwen has a great eye for composition and detail while also being a great human and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Gwen!

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!

We were extremely pleased with our wedding photographer, Marlarkey Media. Larkin was very professional and congenial and made sure that everyone felt at ease and photogenic. She captured all the big moments and so many of the little ones that are easily missed, giving us a beautiful timeline of our special day. The photos of my Becca are as radiant as she was that day. We couldn't be more satisfied with Larkin's work. Very professional at a great price.

Lacie was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, Lacie replied quickly to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, she made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, guiding us through poses while also capturing adorable candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of our special day. She and her husband (her second photographer) were incredibly helpful in wrangling our large families for group photos, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted. Our wedding photos are stunning and we are so grateful to have such beautiful memories captured. Not to mention she had our sneak peak pics back to us the next morning! We would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer. I’ve included a few of my favorites but there are way too many to choose from!

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

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.

She was so kind She patiently worked with me while we scrambled, and even helped me with someone who did our florals. She was a fountain of information for places in the area for eloping.

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.

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

From the moment we first connected with Mae Krell Photo, we were impressed by their communicative, helpful and knowledgeable approach. Mae was extremely friendly and guided us through the entire process, offering valuable suggestions that made our proposal even more special. The quality of her work is truly exceptional - the photos they captured are not only beautifully composed, but also incredibly meaningful and full of raw emotion that we will cherish forever. Mae was discreet and able to capture intimate, candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of our proposal. We are beyond thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer to document their special occasions.
