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.

We had the most amazing adventure with our photographer! She customized our location packets just for us, making it so easy to find the perfect spot that matched our adventurous vision. The whole experience felt effortless and exciting, and when we got our photos back, we were absolutely blown away. Every image captures the adventure, the emotion, and us so perfectly. We are completely in love with our photos and couldn’t recommend her more!

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

Through Lindsey's Lens Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Lindsey's communication throughout the planning process was perfect - she was always very clear about what information she needed from me, and her reminder emails were extremely helpful in keeping me organized and on track. I've only received photo previews so far, but even those are stunning. Lindsey's attention to detail and artistic eye are unmatched, and I could not be happier with our choice of photographer. On the wedding day itself, Lindsey meshed incredibly well with all of our guests and brought a fun, relaxed energy that made the formal photo sessions fly by smoothly. The photos feel vibrant, organic and full of joy. I can't recommend Through Lindsey's Lens highly enough for wedding photography!

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!

My daughter hired Marlarkey Media for her wedding and I thought the results were wonderful. So many great candid shots of the people who were there celebrating on top of all the important couple photos. And tho I am no expert, I thought her photo editing was really perfect, but probably because she erased just the right number of wrinkles from the mother of the bride--I know I look better but no one else would be able to tell. This was an easy five stars.

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!

“True Light” is the perfect name for Calea’s photography business as she absolutely embodies this. From the moment Calea arrived she exuded such a warm, calming presence that made me and my whole family feel totally comfortable, which was so important especially while I was getting ready and the nerves were getting to me. She was stellar at coordinating with the videographers, and when she had me and my husband “model” for her it was very clear how to pose and I must say, the photos look incredible. She has a beautiful eye. Right after the wedding she started sending us shots and posting on Instagram which was so fun to see, and she get us our full gallery well before the three week timeframe. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture the warmth, love and beauty of the day. We are so so happy! 10/10 would recommend Calea, she is the best!

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.

Our journey with Ann Marie started when we won (after the first winners didn’t need it after all) her engagement photo package at the Portland Venue Crawl. We were beyond grateful and excited to win such a valuable experience and quickly realized that Ann Marie was going to be so fun to work with. She helped us pick an amazing location that required some travel for her, and it was so much fun - we got sun, fog, rain, sunset, and even a rainbow! She was prepared for it all and made it such a fun adventure. We were really nervous and she helped us chill and get a bit more comfy in front of the camera. She delivered our sneak peaks the next day which were so fun to look through and was extremely prompt with getting us the rest of our gallery. Naturally, we hired Ann Marie for our wedding too and cannot imagine having anyone else! She was so helpful through the stressful wedding planning process, sending us vendor recommendations and always being available if we had questions or needed advice. She has an amazing network and her want to help with things not even photography related was so impressive and very appreciated. There was a major health scare in my family, we weren’t even sure if my dad was going to make it to wedding day and Ann Marie was so kind and supportive. She captured moments for my family that carried a lot of weight and she did it with such grace and thoughtfulness. We are all so grateful for her commitment to making wedding day as special as possible, for my husband and I but also our loved ones. We’ve gotten an amazing selection of sneak peaks and should be getting our full gallery soon - we couldn’t be more excited! Ann Marie is impressively prompt and has communicated with us each step of the way so we were never left to wonder “what’s next?” All of our friends and family are also very impressed with Ann Marie as a photographer and as a person. Hoping to stay in touch and work together again in the future!!

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!

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 are interested in working together, please visit my website to see a little more about me, my work, and how I can help you make your wedding day visions real.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

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. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

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 for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Kyle was attentive, friendly, and accommodating, making the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - he was super professional, kind, and fun to work with, and even included complementary engagement photos as part of our wedding package, which turned out beautifully. Kyle was also incredibly chill yet engaging, and managed to be everywhere at once to capture all the perfect moments throughout our special day. We couldn't be happier with the incredible photos we have to remember our wedding by, thanks to Kyle Carnes Photography.
