We could not be happier with our wedding photos and experience working with the Wickerts. From the start, they were incredibly inviting, fun, and easy to work with, which made everything feel relaxed and enjoyable. We took engagement photos in the Spring and Wed in September. Both my bride and I can feel awkward in front of a camera, but Lindsey and Hunter did great making us feel comfortable and natural. Nothing felt forced, and that really shows in the photos.They have a great eye for choosing beautiful backdrops and moments without overdoing anything. Having two shooters was a huge plus! They captured both of us getting ready before the ceremony, and during our engagement shoot, it was great having an extra set of hands to help with lighting and setup. We received our digital images surprisingly fast and shared them easily with friends and family. We’re so grateful for our photos and really cool collection pieces we'll cherish for life. We highly recommend the Wickerts' to anyone looking for talented photographers and genuinely fun people to be around.

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.

As the mother of the bride I was so worried everything would go right, but this was beyond my hopes. They captured every moment with such love and detail, it truly made me cry. My daughter looked stunning, but what touched me most was how they also highlighted our family and friends. The photos of me holding her hands before she walked down the aisle are priceless. The video brought out the emotion of the vows and the joy of the party afterwards, like two worlds blending perfectly. They didn’t miss anything, from the flowers to the big dances. Even my husband who never compliments anything said “Wow this is really amazing.” I’ve watched the video probably 20 times already and it never gets old. I know in 10 or 20 years this will still bring us right back to that special day. Thank you for giving my daughter memories she will keep forever. My heart is full.

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

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.

Portland, OR
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,700

I am a firm believer that friendship comes from learning the weird and quirky about a person, and still wanting to hang out with them after. And, since you will literally spend more time with your photographer than most anyone else on your wedding day, I want to be friends. We NEED to be friends. Like, I’ll-probably-end-up-holding-your-dress-up-while-you-pee type friends. That’s practically BFF status. I’m not only in the business of capturing your epically rad and emotional moments, I am also in the business of making lasting friendships, both of which I’m really awesome at.

If you are looking for a rad photographer with all the right vibes Dionne Kraus Photography is the way to go! My Husband and I had a beautiful outdoor wedding in Parkdale, OR overlooking beautiful Mt. Hood that we put in the hands of Dionne Kraus and her team! Dionne and her assistant photographer did a knockout job from start to finish both at our wedding venue as well as at our AirB&B capturing all the preparations with the wedding party and our first look photos. If you are someone who feel a little uncomfortable in front of the camera look no further Dionne is so good at small directions to help you move and hold each other more naturally it just flows. Creating stunning photos. Her husband Craig was our DJ (silicon forest entertainment) and put on a killer performance and kept up the dance vibes all night long, which was all our guests could talk about the next day. Dionne was super fun to work with; her bubbly personality combined with her professionalism and ability to really capture the moment really comes through in the end product. Everything her product offerings had to offer suited us very well and having her husband as a DJ, made this a no brainer for us. If you want the complete wedding package look no further than Dionne Kraus Photography and Silicon Forest Entertainment, they are the best.

Hi, I'm Georgy Shishkin — a wedding and elopement photographer with over 19 years of experience capturing love stories in breathtaking landscapes. Based in Oregon, I photograph weddings across the Pacific Northwest, California, and British Columbia. My background in photojournalism taught me how to anticipate real emotion, while my years in wedding photography taught me how to guide and support couples in front of the camera. I love helping people who’ve never modeled before feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely connected. Every story is personal to me — I’m not just your photographer, I’m your teammate throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We eloped. Just the two of us, mountains around, wrapped in a checkered blanket with our hearts racing and headlights glowing behind us — and Georgy somehow turned all of that into pure poetry. These are, without exaggeration, the most beautiful photos we’ve ever had taken. Not just because of the location or the light (which were stunning), but because Georgy captured something deeper: how we felt. The joy, the quiet, the closeness, the nervous laughter… every photo feels like a little window back into that day. He made us feel completely comfortable, even in the middle of wild nature. It never felt staged or forced — just natural, gentle, and easy. Georgy gave us space to be ourselves and somehow still knew exactly when to click the shutter. We’re so grateful. These images are more than wedding photos — they’re memories we’ll carry forever. If you’re considering booking Georgy: do it. He has an incredible eye, a calming presence, and a gift for turning fleeting moments into timeless art. Thank you!!!

Hi! My name is Bailey and I am the owner of Baileaves Photography. I am a travel and destination wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I travel all over the world to create timeless cinematic images of couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was a very indecisive bride and took a really long time weighing all the many choices for wedding vendors. Somehow, though, Bailey was such an easy decision and the very first photographer we spoke to and first vendor we hired and we have had zero regrets! I knew Bailey took wonderful photos, but what really sold me was just how kind of a person she is from our first phone call. I knew I would be spending a lot of time with her on the wedding day and wanted someone I felt comfortable with and Bailey is that person. She is sooo sweet and genuine. Her communication is great and she is such a hard worker and cares so much about her couples. At both our engagement shoot and our wedding Bailey was constantly running around and hustling to get the perfect shot (while also being a calm presence). Our engagement photos at Cannon Beach were absolutely stunning and we knew we had made the right choice for our wedding. On the wedding day, Bailey was a life saver. Whenever we needed something and our coordinator wasn't available, Bailey was always the first person we could ask for help and she was on it immediately no questions asked. We got married a week ago and got our sneak peaks almost the next day after the wedding. Bailey is responsive, quick, on time, flexible, talented, and just the sweetest person. Any couple is so lucky to work with her!

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.

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!

If you want someone who will get excited about your creative vision and go out of their way to help make it happen, Skylar is your photographer! I had an idea to take some unique photos in a specific location, and she without question let me know she had experience in what I was looking for. On the day of our photoshoot, she went above and beyond to get the right shot and made us feel really comfortable getting our photos taken in public (which isn't easy to do!). Skylar really made our engagement photoshoot so memorable and special, I am so grateful to her for the care she put into our session. The photos turned out great too!

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
From start to finish Katie was amazing! When my wife and I started wedding planning we specifically looked for LGBTQ friendly vendors and Katie stood out. Her photography and editing is gorgeous and we knew we had to choose her! We took our engagement photos only a month before our wedding and Katie made sure we got our photos in time to be able to use them at our wedding. From planning to the actual day Katie made everything smooth, fun and easy. Our photos turned out amazing and we got sneak peaks less than a week after our wedding. I cannot thank her enough for capturing our special day so perfectly!! Highly recommend

I’ve had a camera in my hand as long as I’ve known how to speak. Capturing love stories is an absolute dream job that I am so thankful for. I've met some of the most amazing couples.

Love knows no bounds. Every person is deserving of love and deserving of having it captured perfectly. I believe in equality. I believe in living simply and loving deeply. I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

Wedding photography that's all about you. alyson levy PHOTOGRAPHY specializes in creating gorgeous images that tell your unique love story. I rely on years of experience and an artist's eye to capture crucial moments without drawing focus, creating heirloom quality photographs that sparkle with humor and emotion.

Alyson was so lovely to work with. From the beginning, she offered suggested shot lists, encouraged us to look at other wedding photos in order to get an idea of things we wanted to capture, and overall had a comprehensive organized approach to our wedding. Alyson delivered on all of her photography promises - I had spotted a photo from a past wedding she shot that I loved - it was a black and white photo of the bride and groom walking down the aisle. Alyson captured their happiness and love in the shot and I just adored the photo - I asked if she could try to capture a similar moment in our wedding and she did. I love looking back to that photo, she caught one of the happiest moments of my life. On the day of our wedding, Alyson fit in seamlessly with the day, she was there to take photos around us, without making the day about her or her shots. Because of her organization, she caught the posed photos we asked for (including being able to round up my very large family) and all of the candids I love looking back on. Our wedding was in 2010, but since, she has also shot our maternity and newborn photos, as well as being the photographer at one of my best friends weddings (who loved my wedding photos so much she hired Alyson, too). Alyson is really able to capture moments and the people going on in the day - she's a fantastic photographer.

When I tell you that I’ve never had this much fun in front of a camera, I mean it. I decided to do a photo shoot because I had been having a lot of body image issues and I wanted something to help me feel like myself. I was so nervous about it and about how I would look but, Destiny made this an all around positive experience and I (and my mental health) am so grateful. Destiny is professional, has an outstanding vision, is amazingly patient, and incredibly kind. Everything leading up to the shoot was so smooth. Destiny provided options and feedback that made it incredibly easy to pick locations and outfits for the shoot. She responded so fast and with incredible detail. I was so grateful as this was my first time ever doing anything like this. I was so nervous the day of and during the first few minutes of the shoot, but Destiny knew that and helped me work through it by taking a bit more control, but as I eased up, so did she. I felt like I could fully be myself and do what I wanted and liked. She never pushed me and I felt incredibly taken care of and comfortable after the nerves were gone. She hyped me up and made me smile! I was so happy! Destiny is incredibly thoughtful and is willing to do what is best to work with you to get the best shots possible. If you’re looking for someone who will take you through the process step by step and who will help you make decision, then I recommend Destiny without hesitation. The photos look amazing and she is very clear about time lines for when you will get your pictures back. Everything was incredibly easy to navigate and I am so grateful to have worked with Destiny. Thank you for making me see myself with more love and kindness.

Hello! I'm Kendra, the face behind Kendi Photos. My style of wedding photography is a mix of candid and formal shots, ensuring a diverse array of photos in your gallery. My favorite part of wedding photography is being there for all the behind the scenes action that the guests don't get to see, especially intimate first look moments. I edit on the side of bright and true to color, enhancing photos without changing the entire vibe. I serve the Pacific Northwest and am based out of the Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR areas.

Kendra was amazing, she was very easy to communicate with and very helpful when it came to us planning our day. She kept us on time and was efficient when it came to taking all the family photos. She was awesome to work with and I would highly reccomend her to anyone!

I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars! Jamie was absolutely AMAZING!!! Everything I could of asked for and more. Myself and my (now) Husband decided to elope from Birmingham AL to Oregon. We had never been to the state before so planning was a little nerve racking. After meeting with Jamie for a Zoom call, I immediately had stress taken off me. She was perfect at capturing exactly what I was looking for and finding the most beautiful spot to have our ceremony. I received my sneak peaks back while still being on my honeymoon and got to fall in love with her work! I highly recommend and I can not say enough to express how grateful I am that she was apart of our day.

I have been photographing weddings for eight years. My husband and I work together on your wedding day to craft beautiful and emotive images that capture the emotions of the day. We believe in helping guide you to beautiful moments, adjusting your posing so that you look your best, and creating a joyful experience.

I cannot say enough nice things about working with Lauryn and Bob. Not only do they bring the most genuine and lovely attitude and vibes but they make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They were so professional and knew exactly what to do and say to get all the family members together and they have such good vision when it comes to posing and backgrounds. And the pictures that came out in the end?*swoon* they are some of the most gorgeous shots! The colors, the lighting, the composition, all of it was so on point and so amazing. And we got our photos back so quickly! I cannot recommend Lauryn enough. Pro tip: The wedding and engagement photo combo was the way to do it- not only do you get amazing photos of you and your fiancé before the wedding but getting to know Lauryn and Bob prior to the big day was so nice and made us way more comfortable and we knew what to expect/ what it felt like to be in front of the camera.

From the moment we first spoke with Christy and Rob, we were impressed by their calm and kind communication. They answered all of our questions clearly when deciding on a package. On the day of the wedding, they were a pleasure to work with, capturing the day's events with a soft, artistic touch.

Hi, I'm Christina! Here to make you feel comfortable and empowered during your shoot, I have over ten years of experience behind the lens. I specialize in engagements and elopements, using the beauty of nature to capture life's most precious moments. I strive to feel more like a friend than a vendor, promising to be there as a sounding board any time. I'll provide as much or as little guidance - from posing to editing to shot list - as you desire. Thank you for letting me help make the shoot of your dreams a reality!

Awarded Best of Zola
Christina took our engagement photos and they are truly some of my favorite pictures of the two of us. Neither of us had participated in a photo shoot since our senior pictures so we were a little anxious going into it, but Christina’s calm presence, sense of humor, and great direction helped ease of nerves immediately. I love that she really was able to capture our playful dynamic in our pictures and nothing felt too stiff or posed. We will definitely be using her again for future family shoots and recommending her to everyone we know! Thank you again Christina!!
