The Wickerts' Photography

  • Serves Happy Valley, OR

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!

Hey there! I'm Katie, a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. Capturing magical moments through photography is my passion and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living. My goal is to create beautiful, timeless images that will transport you back to your wedding day every time you look at them. Aside from being a photographer, I'm also a mom to two human kids and 3 fur babies, and I've been married to my high school sweetheart/boy next door for 17 years. I love coffee, Gilmore Girls, and scrolling TikTok ;p

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
Karmen is an exceptionally gifted photographer, and I wholeheartedly recommend KNCaptures to anyone looking to beautifully document their special day. Each image captured not just a moment, but the emotion, atmosphere, and unique personalities present—it's storytelling through photography at its finest. Her meticulous attention to detail, composition, color, and editing elevates every shot into something truly timeless. I'm glad I have these pictures forever. Karmen's also warm, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. That natural connection creates such a relaxed, enjoyable environment, which is invaluable on the day. I'm so grateful for her work. Thank you again, Karmen — I genuinely couldn't be happier with the results.

Forget tradition. Screw the rules. You deserve photos that reflect your life, personality, and style, not some cookie-cutter session that looks like everyone else's. My name is Daniela (she/her). I'm a plus size, super tall queer. I'm detailed and organized, but am laid-back and will pivot quickly to adapt to changing circumstances. I believe in equity and inclusiveness of all loves, body types, and beings.  My favorite movie is Nightmare Before Christmas, I regularly rate dogs' butts, and I believe the highest compliment is being called "scrappy." 

Awarded Best of Zola
Daniela captured our wedding beautifully. She is a wonderful person to work with. We found her both professional and comfortable to work with. As a plus-size person, I'm always worried about how I will look in pictures. Daniela made us feel at ease and our wedding and engagement pictures are absolutely stunning. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for professional photos.

Hey, I'm Emily! A natural light photographer based in Portland Oregon who specializes in true-to-color edits and authentic captures. Like many photogs out there, I picked up a camera really young and haven’t put it down since. I never wanted to forget parts of my childhood and young adulthood, so it became second nature for me to document the things I loved with photographs in a very real and candid way. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t feel luckier that this hobby became a career focused on preserving life’s most precious moments for others. Who will be the girl behind the camera hyping you up while capturing some authentic moments?

Awarded Best of Zola
I LOVE working with Emily! She's done family photos, branding and headshot photos for me as well. She's incredible! Emily's got a way of putting everyone at ease. And as a florist I really appreciate her true to color editing.

I am a PNW girl, wife of my middle school sweetheart, Logan, and mama to three lazy kitties and a puppy. Most of the time you will catch me reading, taking long scenic drives with Logan, or sitting in watching a rom-com. Being engaged, and now married (still can’t believe it), has given me such a deep perspective of what a being a bride is really like. From day one, my goal is to capture what was real, with nothing forced or too posed. I want to tell stories. I want you to look at my images and feel something.

Sierra did our engagement photos as well as our wedding and she was professional, caring, and supportive the entire way! Not only is her photography amazing, she was also super helpful during both the planning and actual wedding. 1000% recommend Sierra to any wedding couples!!

We’re Ann and Kevin, the team behind Pastores Photography — a dual photography team based in Wilsonville, Oregon. Since 2009, we’ve been capturing life’s most meaningful moments through timeless portraiture, with a special passion for wedding photography. Our clients often tell us how comfortable and at ease they feel in front of our cameras. We’re known for our fun yet calming presence, our professionalism, and our dedication to capturing the true essence and vision of each couple’s wedding day — all while making you look and feel your absolute best.

We absolutely loved working with Ann and Kevin from Pastores Photography. From our very first meeting, they were fun, easygoing, and incredibly easy to feel comfortable around - which mattered a lot to us. You spend so much of your wedding day with your photographers, so feeling relaxed and able to be yourself is huge. That comfort is what allows those real, genuine “us” moments to shine through, and they created that space effortlessly. Throughout the planning process, they were so helpful. They partnered with our DJ to align on a detailed schedule they built out, helped us think through photos and moments we hadn’t even considered yet, and created a timeline that made everything feel clear and manageable. Their tag-team dynamic worked perfectly, and they helped keep us calm and grounded all day long. Our photos turned out beautiful - colorful, vibrant, and true to what the day actually looked like. We got married outdoors at The Water Oasis in Newberg during the fall, and they captured the changing leaves, greenery, and our moody fall colors exactly the way we hoped. We’re really glad we chose Ann and Kevin. They’re warm, friendly, professional, and genuinely great to have by your side on your wedding day. We’d absolutely recommend Pastores Photography to anyone looking for photographers who make the experience feel natural and enjoyable from start to finish.

I am a Portland native through and through! My love for photography rivals only my love of traveling. My interest in photography began at a young age, thanks to my Uncle and 8th grade math teacher. After over 18 years of experience, I have mastered the art of putting my clients at ease and creating an environment for them to be present and most importantly be themselves. I have a deep passion for not only the images I create but for the people I work with. I truly consider it an honor to be a part of someone’s wedding day and the images we create together become reflective memories for the couple, not just snapshots in time.

We made the best choice picking Cambrae to be our photographer for our wedding! Months later, we still get so many complements on our photos on how great a job she did and how fun and charismatic she was around the venue on our wedding day. She put everyone at ease and captured amazing shots of our day. Her professionalism, organizational skills, and eye for detail is amazing. Put together with her infectious spirit and an obvious love of what she does, you can’t go wrong.

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.

Mia is the absolute best! From our engagement session to our wedding day, she was so friendly, easy to work with, and just genuinely sweet. It felt like I already knew her the minute I met her. She gave us the perfect amount of direction and at the same time, just did her thing and wasn’t a distraction at all. She gave us our pictures back in a timely manner, and the wedding album we received is absolutely gorgeous! I met with quite a few other photographers when deciding who to book for our wedding, and no other photographer offered such a perfect Collection either. Ours included an entire day of coverage, tons of pictures, and the wedding album. We can’t thank Mia enough for capturing our day so perfectly and for helping everything go as smoothly as possible. We feel so lucky to have these pictures for years to come. Thank you so much, Mia! And to all of the future brides out there, book her now! It’ll be the best decision you’ll make during the wedding planning process!

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t explain how happy we were to have Skylar capture our wedding day and engagement photos! She is extremely easy to work with through the entire process. After meeting her for the first time, we knew that we had someone personable, dependable, and talented. Her photos/style captured our happiness while highlighting the beauty of the moment. I could go on and on about how fabulous she is! Save yourself the trouble of searching for a photographer and have her be a part of your special day!

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

Awarded Best of Zola
At the start of my photographer search, I chatted with several different companies to ask my questions. Naomi blew everyone else out of the water and I just clicked with her right away. And it only got better as the journey kept going. She stayed in touch as it got closer to our event date, she offered suggestions, and made sure I didn't need any additional help on the coordination side of things. Now... let's get to the best part, the photo shoot!! OH MY LAWDDDD the pictures came out more dreamy than I could have ever imagined. She has such a great eye for what a good shot will be, isn't afraid to get down and dirty (and maybe accidentally end up in a creek to get the shot), and knows the poses that, to you feel weird, but to the camera, look gorgeous!! Our photos look like they belong in a magazine. She is so talented!!! There's so much more I could say, and I feel like what I have said still just doesn't do her justice. She's the best. Don't go with anyone else!!
