  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Milwaukie, OR

Choosing a photographer to capture one of the most intimate days of you and your partner’s lives is no small feat. I'm here to loudly love on ALL my couples. These are images you’ll hold onto forever and pass down for generations to come, so trust is essential. With two decades of travel experience, I’m not only comfortable navigating the intricacies of international travel but also thrive on the excitement of exploring new destinations. Whether you choose to elope with only the mountains as your witness, or have the big white wedding of your dreams, I can’t wait to celebrate your love.

Julia was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first spoke with Julia, her communication style was clear, fun, and energetic - she made the entire process so exciting. The quality of her work is truly beautiful, detail-oriented, creative, timeless, and colorful. Julia went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, even flying to Denver to help plan and shoot the proposal for my fiancée and I. She communicated clearly, made every moment so special, and helped us find the perfect proposal spot. We've used her incredible photos for our invitations, wedding website, and have them framed at home. Julia is an incredible photographer who we cannot recommend highly enough.

  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Milwaukie, 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 her husband are amazing. So far we've only done our engagement shoot and it was honestly so much fun. My fiance and I have never gotten professional photos taken so we were both a bit nervous but by the end of it, we felt like models. They are so lovely to talk to and not one moment felt awkward or weird. We had the wonderful opportunity to take our pictures at Mt. Rainer and the pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL. She did a fantastic job overall and even brought bug spray for us (my gosh the mosquitos were insane haha). We received our photos faster than I thought and with any change/adjustment I wanted to make she was on top of it. I'll be back after the wedding to share more, but I can't recommend her enough.

Hi, I’m Nikki — the photographer behind Nikki Hardgrave Photography 🤍 I’m an Oregon-based photographer with a candid, warm approach to documenting wedding days. My goal isn’t just to take beautiful photos — it’s to help you feel supported, comfortable, & genuinely present throughout your day. Weddings can be chaotic. Timelines fall behind, emotions run high, dresses break, veils fall out, and somehow there’s always a bustle held together by safety pins 😂

Nikki did our engagement photos and is booked for our wedding photos. We are extremely happy with the photos and editing she did. They look incredible.

Sound Originals did an excellent job. Very communicative, and I got my photos back really quickly. The photographers they sent to my wedding were professional and experienced. Very pleasant interactions with Sound Originals staff. NOTE to all brides: I highly recommend taking the company up on their offer to have you meet with the photographer beforehand.

Milwaukie, OR
  • Editorial style

I’m a Portland-area wedding photographer specializing in courthouse ceremonies, elopements, and intimate celebrations. My approach is calm, natural, and documentary-focused, capturing genuine moments without making couples feel posed or uncomfortable. From Multnomah County courthouse weddings to small outdoor ceremonies around Portland, I help couples feel relaxed so their photos look authentic and timeless. My goal is to make the experience simple, enjoyable, and stress-free from the first inquiry to the final gallery.

We are so happy we chose Igor as our wedding photographer. From the beginning he was friendly, organized, and very easy to work with. Neither of us feels very comfortable in front of a camera, but he made the whole experience relaxed and natural. During the ceremony and portraits he gave just enough guidance while still letting real moments happen. The photos turned out amazing. They feel authentic and captured the emotions of the day perfectly. We also loved how quickly we received a sneak peek after the wedding. If you’re planning a courthouse ceremony or an intimate wedding, we would absolutely recommend Igor.

Venture Ever After 
Rating: 5.0 (20 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Milwaukie, OR

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.

Just here to show off Myrtle Creative Co. Photography with Ann Marie! We recently got our sneak peaks back from our wedding July 2024. We had a multi-day event in and near North Cascades.

We had met up virtually with many other photographers before picking her!

My approach is relaxed, low-pressure, and focused on helping you actually enjoy your wedding day instead of feeling like you’re stuck in a photoshoot. I’m there for the happy tears, crooked boutonnières, champagne spills, big hugs, terrible dance moves, and all the little moments that end up meaning the most. Most of my couples don’t want their wedding to feel overly staged or like one long photo shoot. They just want beautiful photos, a fun day with their favorite people, and someone who makes them feel comfortable being themselves - and that’s exactly how I work.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are hardly words to describe how grateful we are to have worked with Katie! She captured our wedding day in a way that absolutely exceeded our hopes and expectations. She was so easy to work with, super flexible, super communicative, super helpful. She helped us get organized and advised us in ways to help the day run smoothly (both from a photography perspective and from a general logistics point of view as well). Her turn around time on photos was exceptionally quick and we have loved seeing our day through her lens. We cannot recommend Katie enough!!

  • Serves Milwaukie, 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.

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).

Hey I'm Liz! I've been in business as a wedding and portrait photographer since 2015, and have had a camera in my hand since the days before digital. After nine years in the industry my brain is absolutely full of specific knowledge I can only use for weddings, so please please use me as a resource. I live outside Portland with my Husband, kids, dog and cat. In my free time you can find me at a Mexican restaurant, a Movie Theater, or in any body of water. As an aging Millennial I've also recently gotten into retirement hobbies like birding and gardening.

Liz was so easy to work with. She took our engagement photos and wedding photos. During our wedding planning session as a bride I was all over the place but she was able to help figure out photos that were needed and set a timeline with me. On the day of our wedding, it seemed that time sped up and there was a million things to do. As our timeline didn’t go as planned, most weddings don’t, Liz was able to think on her feet and get a new timeline so we were able to get all of our shots in that we wanted and still be able to enjoy our wedding, dancing, guest and each other. After getting our photos back many of our family and friends mentioned how wonderful Liz was, her attention to detail and how they would love to use her in the future. Whenever we talk about future photo shoots that we want, Liz is always brought up and will be the first to call when we need new photos!

Kristie is such an amazing photographer. She is so professional, yet flexible and goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients to make their special day even more special. She is someone who really makes her clients feel comfortable in every aspect of the shoot. My husband, who isn't one for having his photo taken, was able to relax and (with the help of our incredible photographer) take the best photos that we've taken to date! She not only meets the needs of her clients, but by far exceeds your expectations!! We eloped last minute and she was able to arrange a time with me to be able to capture our special day, which I will always be grateful for. The experience with which she directed not only us, but our family, made the shoot that much more amazing. She made us feel like family and ensured that we got the best of the best out of our day.

Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do." Immerse yourself in the art of storytelling through my lens, turning your wedding day dreams into timeless memories.

We had booked another photographer whom we were no longer able to get in communication with closer to our wedding and but some luck found Joie who happened to be available on our wedding date! We were so lucky we found her when we did because Joie helped us tie up loose ends on our timeline and gave us ideas on best photo times and scenarios. We were also able to squeeze in a beautiful engagement session in San Francisco. We loved the city but Joie gave us some great insights on where to actually take the photos. On our wedding day, Joie was very thoughtful and made sure to take care of us all day long! We think its amazing that she was able to capture some of the candids that we wouldn't even have thought possible during our ceremony and reception and then gave us some absolutely dreamy sunset portraits! We can't thank Joie enough for the wonderful job that she did capturing our memories but more so than anything, treating us like we were friends and family and making the day feel so natural!
