Red Aspen Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Oakland, OR

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.

Working with Ashleigh was incredible! She took both our bridals and our wedding photos and we were blown away each time. Her attention to detail during photo shoots was so helpful for getting the best pictures, her professionalism during the whole wedding process made everything feel so easy and non-stressful, and her kindness made both me and my husband feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. We are so happy with the pictures she took and the memories she captured from our special day!

Sam Starns Adventure Elopements

  • Serves Oakland, OR

I’m Sam, a TEDx speaker, author, native Oregonian, and adventure elopement expert. And I regret my wedding. Oooof, right? I cried on my wedding day. They weren’t happy tears, either. Let me tell you my story. I had a day that wasn’t really about the connection I had with my husband. It wasn’t about who we were as people and about the things we loved. It wasn’t “us”. Imagine having an adventure elopement day that includes whatever floats your boat. Whether it’s adrenaline-packed, laughter-filled, chill vibes, or all of the above. Then add in a kickass connection between you & your partner that’s enabled by dedicating that day TO YOU.

Awarded Best of Zola
Magical, Fairytale, Epic these are all words we heard after revealing the stunning images Sam captured for us. These are also words that describe Sam and the experiences she helps create for you. From the very first time we spoke with her on the phone a quick getting to know you call had turned into 2 hours of friendship, excitement and day dreaming about our wedding. We knew right away we wanted to work with her. We could tell how passionate and invested she is about her work and clients (who quickly turn into friends). Not only does she bring this amazing passion and excitement to your photos but she also lives it everyday and encourages you to do the same. We reached out to Sam because of her incredible work but fell in love with her personality. Not knowing what to expect we put our hands and faith in her and had the adventure of a lifetime. We were so comfortable and carefree there was nothing to worry about. Our focus was on each other, we were able to enjoy a day designed around everything we love as a couple all with Sam's help and guidance. Her endless resources, open communication, and recommendations led us to our most memorable day and the gallery/album reveals allow us to relive it as often as we like. She is truly a magnificent person and her talent goes beyond the photography (although you should see her snapping from the back of a horse or in a kayak mid-ocean). The Elope Your Life experience is more than just photos and if you're looking for an epic experience this is it.

As an artist in the 21st century, I am overwhelmed by all that we cannot trust. The landscapes are edited, the portraits are airbrushed, and the legitimacy of what we see on social media is anyone's guess. That's why it is my passion and life pursuit to capture our most precious things in life - our loves, our families, our unrepeatable moments - in the most true-to-life and timeless way possible. I live for the unguarded moments that take our breath away. If you want to capture this time in your life in all its perfect authenticity, it's my job and my joy to capture the soul of these things for you to hold in time forever.

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Eliza as our photographer! From that unforgettable, rainy surprise sunrise engagement session at Rattlesnake Ledge to our wedding day on Orcas Island, she was ride-or-die and with us every step of the way. Eliza poured her heart and soul into capturing our journey, and it shows in every single photo. She has an incredible knack turning real moments into art, and we know we’ll cherish these photos forever. Beyond her talent, what really struck us was her warmth and dedication. Eliza made us feel so comfortable, even when we felt a bit awkward in front of the camera. She just knew how to bring out the best in us and keep things fun. We’re genuinely so grateful for everything she’s done for us, and we can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, communicates exceptionally well, reliably delivers, and goes above and beyond, Eliza’s the one. Thank you, Eliza, for being a part of our story!

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there.

Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

So, so thankful we went with Calea as our wedding photographer. She was the first person we interviewed and the last. As soon as we spoke with her I knew it was going to be a perfect fit. She’s professional, she’s fun, she’s knowledgeable, she’s helpful, and absolutely amazing at what she does. I am incredibly happy with the way our photos turned out and how she captured our day. She showed up to our wedding a half hour earlier than her scheduled time to make sure she was all situated and familiar with the venue and made sure we stayed on track with all the photos we wanted to get throughout the night. She was such a positive part of our day and meshed perfectly with our families and friends. We had so many people at our wedding compliment the photographer and her presence at our wedding. She flew under the radar while capturing crucial moments and interacted with our guests and family when needed. She made it fun! She laughed, she cried, and she truly felt like family while she was there with us. Her passion for her work is clear and she truly gets to know the style and vibe of her clients! Thank you Calea, we will always look back on our photos with such love and joy in our hearts thanks to you!!!

Hi! I'm Brayley, owner of Focused On Life Photography LLC, a Full-Time, Published, Destination Wedding + Lifestyle Photography business, & I would LOVE to be your wedding photographer! Since 2023, we at FLP LLC have been focused on capturing all of life's precious milestones in a natural, earthy, classic & candid style.

With us, you don't need to worry about things like how to pose -- all you need to do on your day is smile & relax! We'll take it from there.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.

I’m Kirstin! An emotionally driven, film-forward wedding photographer based in the desert Southwest. I work with wildly-in-love couples who want their wedding to feel like them: artful, offbeat, deeply intentional. I photograph elopements and micro-weddings with a storytelling lens- capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt. My work blends digital + 35mm film to preserve the honest, unposed, heart-full moments in all their textured, tear-filled, windswept beauty. My couples tend to be nostalgic, a little nontraditional, and full of feeling. If that’s you- you’re in the right place.

We met Kristin at a June 2025 wedding where we provided the flowers, and we were blown away by her work. Her photos are stunning - full of emotion, joy, and all the little in-between moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. She has such a gift for capturing the real feel of the day. As someone who works with a lot of wedding vendors, I can honestly say Kristin is a true gem. If you want memories that feel timeless and beautiful, she’s the one. Wholeheartedly recommend - 10/10!

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience

Hereafter Films was one of the first vendors we booked early on in the wedding planning process, and we are sooooooo glad we did! Ryan and Sharayah were amazing to work with, along with their entire team. They photographed both our engagement session and our wedding day, and honestly, both sets of photos came out better than we could have imagined! Photography was one of the most important parts of our wedding. We really wanted our day to be captured in a way that felt authentic, emotional, and true to who we are, and Hereafter ABSOLUTELY nailed it! We looked at a lot of photographers, but the second we saw their portfolio, we were sold. Their style immediately stood out, and the fact that they shoot 35mm film was huge for us. The Super 8 option was such a fun bonus and made us even more excited about working with them. Their work feels timeless, intentional, and full of real emotion. On the wedding day itself, it felt incredible knowing we didn’t have to worry about a single thing when it came to photography and video. We trusted their creative process 1000%, and they truly made the entire day feel effortless. They handled our family and friends with so much patience, care, and ease, and so many people kept telling us how wonderful they were. Looking through our photos now instantly brings us right back to how the day felt, which is something we’ll always be grateful for. Beyond their obvious talent and artistry, Ryan and Sharayah are just genuinely awesome, laid-back, fun people to be around, and their calm, cool energy made such a difference.

Marissa was amazing every step of the way. She helped to narrow down an elopement location base off of our wants. She also came up with a detailed schedule for the whole time spent with her, and options to choose from base off the location we picked! Due to weather, I had a freak out a couple days before the elopement. When I emailed her about my concerns, she responded within 15 minutes reassuring me she was making a back up plan and emailed a new detailed schedule with options within a few hours! And the pictures?! Phenomenal! Everything I could have hoped for!

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
Working with Nadia was genuinely collaborative. She's organized and communicative in ways that really matter: we knew what to expect and felt held through the whole process. Beyond the logistics, she has a remarkable ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her prompts were thoughtful and specific, which meant our joy in those moments came through naturally. Seeing our pictures back, we remember the sweet moments and genuine laughs. What struck us most was her presence during our celebration itself. Nadia and her assistant moved through the day seamlessly, capturing everything without ever interrupting the flow or our ability to be present with our community. They were everywhere and nowhere at once. Nadia's photographic aesthetic is distinctive. The color work is intentional and rich, with a saturation that feels vibrant and timeless. We moved across several lighting contexts during our wedding day: outdoor midday portraits, golden hour moments, and eventually an indoor evening dance celebration. The color in all the photos remained beautifully consistent and alive. Beyond the static photography, Nadia surprised us with GIFs of key moments in motion. We'd decided against videography, but those captured something we wouldn't have had otherwise, and we're so grateful for that thoughtfulness. What comes through in her work most is who she is as a person. She takes time to genuinely know you, and that care translates into her art. She felt like part of our celebration, not an outsider documenting it. Nadia is worth the investment!!! These photographs will be memories we cherish for a lifetime, and we're deeply appreciative of her artistry and her heart.

Hi, I'm Hannah! I’m a Greenville, SC wedding photographer, available for weddings throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, and beyond. I love soft light, rich color, timeless edits, happy tears, a focus on the little details, and couples who are really, really into each other.

Hannah photographed our engagement session, our welcome party and rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day—and every single album turned out absolutely perfect. She captured everything with such care, blending beautifully posed shots with those in-the-moment, documentary-style images that feel so real and alive. Her editing is soft, natural, and timeless. As a person, Hannah is just wonderful. My husband and I have never felt truly comfortable in front of a camera, but she guided us through every step and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. We felt like ourselves, and it shows in the photos. We couldn’t be happier with our images or our experience. Hannah is truly exceptional.

Hello Rad People, My Name is Taylor, I am based out of Golden, Colorado. I am a huge animal lover. We have 2 dogs ,2 cats. Plus, Carl our bearded dragon. So, please bring all the animals to your session or event! I have always loved nature and the outdoors. We do a lot of hiking and camping in the beautiful Mountains. My passion for photography started at a young age, I started doing film Photography and developing my own photos before I even picked up a digital camera. I never thought that my love for photography would turn into my career, where I get to photograph people in love in the places they love. Now let’s get Wild!

We could not be happier with our experience with Maria from MTD Photo Co. She photographed our entire wedding weekend, including our welcome party and the full wedding day, and truly exceeded every expectation. Maria was professional, warm, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We were blown away by how quickly everything was delivered — we received a sneak peek gallery within a week of the wedding and our full gallery just one month later. Every single photo is absolutely beautiful, and we are genuinely in awe of her work. She captured the emotions, the details, and all the special moments so perfectly. Her second photographer, Jackson, was equally wonderful — incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the entire weekend. Together, they made us feel comfortable and confident, and it truly shows in the photos. We are so grateful to have these memories so beautifully documented and cannot recommend Maria and MTD Photo Co. highly enough.

Carly from Carlykins Photo was THE BEST! She helped with prep and was so flexible and patient with us throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her work is amazingly beautiful, intimate, and so attentive to the special details and moments. Carly felt like part of our family on the wedding day, capturing all the special moments seamlessly. She was incredibly flexible when we had to make a few changes due to inclement weather, and even helped make the rain a beautiful addition to our special day. We are thrilled with the gorgeous photos we have received so far that perfectly encapsulate our wedding celebration. We cannot wait to receive the full catalog. Carly's professionalism, talent, and warm personality made her an absolute joy to work with.

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. (both elopement and wedding, so we have best of both of what Ann offers) We were looking for a down to earth photographer (to make us comfy) and one who traveled, but ended up with that and more! We had met up virtually with many other photographers before picking her! She was very helpful throughout the planning process, helped with advice on my indecisiveness and helped think of things no one else did day of and during the planning. Not to mention her talent (see attached!!) I have 0 complaints and only raves about our experience. (this is coming from a very type A person who doesn't usually write reviews) She was amazing and would recommend 10/10. Thanks Ann!

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
Mae is an incredible photographer to work with. She is professional, meticulous, and has great energy. We booked her to photograph our engagement party and she was very easy to work with the entire time, not to mention she kept the party on track and made sure to get all the shots we wanted. Mae perfectly captured the vibe I wanted for the party which was candid, dynamic, and fun, in both digital and film. She is highly skilled and had a quick turnaround for the pictures too. Would definitely book again!

The moments you remember most aren’t usually the ones that were planned. My approach is documentary-driven and unhurried, focused on connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tend to mean the most later. I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want images that feel honest, intimate, and timeless. Whether your day is big or small, traditional or unconventional, my goal is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — and to tell your story as it naturally unfolds.

Sharyce is awesome! She not only has amazing photos, but she also really helped kinda coordinate the day and keep people out when needed, which was much appreciated. She has great energy and ideas. We absolutely loved our wedding photos.
