The Best Classic Wedding Photographers in Portland, 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.

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.

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.

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!

Established and experienced photographer, and all around nice guy! Pictures tell a story, and we will work together to capture yours. Candid, posed, individuals, groups, getting ready, decorations…it all goes in to an album you’ll be smiling at today, and for several years to come.

I’m Daphne — a Portland + worldwide photographer creating radiant, true-to-life imagery with an elevated, editorial feel. Known for striking a perfect balance between light, color, and composition, every gallery is a seamless blend of editorial elegance and emotional authenticity. When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m traveling and chasing beautiful light, which is why destination celebrations feel natural to me. My approach is warm, intentional, and detail-focused, giving every gallery a vibrant, luxurious glow.

My name is Taylor and I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Oregon. I'm so incredibly excited to help you create memories and tell your love story. Your day is all about you and I am here to capture all the moments, memories, and celebrations that make it incredible.

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.

I am an destination elopement & wedding photographer who loves to capture the true emotions & small intimate moments between my couples & their loved ones. I love to travel anywhere & everywhere. I’m obsessed with my dogs and being outside.

Hello! I’m Ben and this is my passion project! Over ten years ago I found that photography was my natural way to connect with the kids in my church youth group I was serving for. Since then, I have not stopped capturing life. I was raised here in Portland, Oregon. I enjoy music, watching the latest movies, keeping up with the NBA, staying active, and connecting with different people.

Thanks so much for taking the time to see if I might be a good fit to photograph your wedding! I've found that one of the most important factors in a great wedding is enjoying the people you surround yourself with. Since I will basically be your third wheel on one of the best days of your life it's important that we click well! That said, some things I’m passionate about include photography(obviously), the NBA, vinyl records, pretty movies and tv shows with no story, and a ton of other stuff. I tend to be pretty enthusiastic so if you think “I wonder if Nate is into..." I likely am!

I’m Alex, a traveling wedding + portrait photographer with a heart for photographing you just the way you are. My job is to make you feel good and look good. I’ll help you juggle details leading up to your wedding and be the biggest advocate for you and your love on your day. I’m on your team, always. I really love people. The way people fit together, the way they look at each other, and the way everyone has their own unique path and story.

Hi, I’m Deena. A photographer, a storyteller, and a hopeless romantic. I find inspiration in travel, in people, and most of all, in the two tiny humans that call me mama. My love languages include food, acts of service, and gift-giving. In that order. I prefer tea over coffee, consider dessert to be a meal all on its own, and will always prefer the feelings of books in my hands to any device. Music fuels most every part of my day, and you can be certain I’m in my office taking dance party breaks while editing all your beautiful images. Based in Portland, Oregon. Available worldwide.

Hi! I’m Sarah. The quirky and awkward girl behind the camera. I’m an Oregon based, award winning photographer available for travel. I call myself a bubbly introvert. Weird, I know. I play really well with others but I also take a couple days to recoup after socializing and giving it my everything. Oddly enough, being in the heart of 200 + people at weddings calms me down. (I told you - I’m weird). The one thing I know for sure is that I was born to do this - I feel THAT good when I’m in the midst of all the beauty and madness of a wedding day.

Hi! I'm Alfred and I'm here to provide you the most stress-free yet highest quality experience. I'm your third best friend/wheel on your wedding day with a camera who wants to take all of the best moments of your best day ever and create some stunning portraits of the first days of your family.

I’ll happily chat with your friends, your fam, and very likely, your mom. Connection comes naturally to me, and it shows in the way I document weddings. I’m drawn to laughter, happy tears, tight hugs, and all the in between moments that make your day feel like yours. I want your photos to feel warm, honest, and full of joy, the kind that bring you right back to how it felt to be surrounded by your favorite people.

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my two cats Clara & Leonardo and about a hundred tropical plants 😆🪴 I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas. I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

Hi there, I'm Rhiannon (you know...like the Fleetwood Mac song) My job is literally a dream. Getting to do what I love while celebrating with incredible people. Getting to see your day unfold and documenting it so you can relive all the emotions you felt in that exact moment again and again... Like, how is this real life? You are not just my clients. I literally call you my "couple". That means something to me. I personally invest myself in you, your story, your love, your dreams & your vision. Basically I will 100% cry at your wedding.

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.

Choosing a photographer for your wedding day is such a meaningful decision, and I am truly honored every time a couple trusts me to capture one of the most important days of their lives. My approach is rooted in a documentary yet elegant style, allowing me to preserve your wedding exactly as it unfolds — the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the in-between moments, and the intentional details that make your celebration uniquely yours. My goal is to create imagery that feels timeless, emotional, and true to your story so you can relive your day for decades to come.
