We are Eric and Amber, a husband and wife wedding photography team with a different story than most. Both of us actually had our own established wedding photography businesses, with years of experience behind us, before we ever met. We found each other at a wedding professionals networking meeting, fell in love, on Valentines Day, no less, and got married 2 years later. Along the way, we merged our 2 businesses into Sightglass Photography.

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + intimate weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people in love 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.

Nadia has been such a perfect fit for our wedding photography. We had four photographers lined up to interview, as we were unsure how to pick such an important partner for our day. Nadia was the second photographer we chatted with, & immediately after, we canceled the remaining appointments with the other photographers. She was the perfect fit! She was kind, our values aligned, & we so appreciated her commitment to philanthropy of organizations that were impactful. She made us feel seen & heard with our preferences. Nadia sent multiple packages to fit our needs, including engagement photos & different lengths of time for shooting our intimate wedding. She quickly scheduled engagement photos for us that were absolutely unique! She asked us what we love to do together & was completely on board when we offered thrift shopping, walking in the park with our dog, & getting ice cream! How special & truly unique to us! Nadia was so flexible when the morning of was a bit chaotic for me, due to a last second cancellation of a makeup appointment. She was kind & supportive as we started the session a bit frazzled! The whole day was beautiful &fun, never stressful, &it felt like we were enjoying a day with an old friend! Nadia sent sneak peeks of the engagement session within the week &allowed us to send out a save-the-date right away. She delivered the rest of the photos very soon after, &we were so impressed with the amount of perfect shots that she captured. As we prepared for the wedding day, Nadia worked with us to create a timeline that was incredibly helpful. I’m a very planned &organized person, so having this advanced planning & timeline was absolutely essential to a smooth wedding day. She alleviated so much of the stress that I had with developing the plan for the day. Nadia also sent over ideas &chatted with us to ensure that the day went as we hoped, sending us a questionnaire to make sure she got all of the family photos we wanted, had a first look where &when we imagined, & the super special moments towards the end of the day together during golden hour. On the Wedding day, Nadia was instrumental to this day going as beautifully & smoothly as it did. I seriously cannot imagine the day without her. She helped me make sure my lipstick wasn’t on my teeth, helped me put on my bracelets, gave me calming words &support, &expertly captured every single shot &way more! My husband &I felt so completely relaxed and comfortable with her, as she had become not only our photographer but a friend throughout the process. Nadia transformed our beautiful setting into a magical atmosphere that made our photos shine. She delivered sneak peeks less than a week after our special day, that we had the opportunity to enjoy while still on our honeymoon. That was so special! The sneak peeks alone captured our day so beautifully, we were absolutely shocked that when the remaining photos were delivered a little over a month later, there were even more perfect shots! My husband noted how impressive it was that she seemed to capture multiple moments around the reception seemingly simultaneously! It seemed like she was in four places at once with the incredible footage she took. I cannot rave enough about the experience we shared with Nadia. The photos she captured of our wedding day will be cherished for many years to come. She is thoughtful, helpful, supportive, and a truly special person. I would and have recommended her over and over and will continue to do so.

Modern Art Photograph

  • Starts at $2,200

Hello! I'm Robert. This is me. Let me tell you a bit about who I am and what I do. Love for photography, ​I am very passionate about working with my camera. If I am creating a little photo for myself that is never seen publicly or a project for a client, I put everything I have into making the photography I create as best I possibly can. Every click of the shudder is an opportunity for creating amazing photography. Every photo-shoot has options for photographs waiting to be found. Solving these puzzles with my camera and lighting is a lot of fun for me. I believe you can see that also. That's why you are here looking at my work now.

Robert (Modern Art Photograph) blew it out of the park for us. Before our wedding, he offered to chat with us on our needs/wants, which he listened to really well. At the wedding, he was everywhere! Our guests loved him and thought he was super friendly. He got so many great shots of our guests and did an incredible job with our first look/couple photos . He delivered the photos faster than we expected, and the transfer/downloading was very easy. He was our favorite vendor of the day. We could have asked for a better photographer for our wedding.

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 Levy Photography helped me make my wedding an utterly perfect success in every way. Not only were my images amazing, I felt completely taken care of, comfortable, and at ease with A.L. Photography as my guide. From the rehearsal to the last dancer standing, Alyson was right there for every moment, capturing the true feel of the event, even the love in the air! I found her rates extremely reasonable for the thoroughness of her services, the attention to detail, and the quality of the photography. Alyson worked with me from beginning to end to make sure I got all of the special shots that the "moms" wanted including candids of moments I missed that night from being so busy "being bride". It was a true joy to go through my photos and relive that weekend. I would encourage you to consider Alyson Levy Photography as your wedding photographer. I am available for questions or feedback.

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.

As a wedding coordinator, working with Kyle is easy. He is communicative, creative, and professional. With his clients, Kyle has a calming personality that puts everyone at ease and he is there to capture every moment and memory. He is always up for a challenge, is adaptable, and produces an amazing product! I absolutely look forward to working with Kyle in the future.

Overland Elopements

  • Starts at $3,600

There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail. Hi! My name is Anna– I am an elopement and wedding photographer helping adventurous couples say “I do” on their own terms from coast to coast.

We had an amazing experience with Overland Elopements. Anna & Trevor are adorable. They were very relaxed and professional and made us feel very comfortable even though they had cameras in our faces. lol. Really, they were easy to be around. And the photos came out beautiful! We love the collection so much! We were shocked with how quickly they provided our photos. It was like they were as excited to look over the footage as we were. They also were incredibly kind about working around a family emergency that came up with our original date. Highly recommend.

We are a husband and wife team based in Portland, Or and travel worldwide (we love travel) to capture our couples stories, and capturing the best imagery we can!. We specialize in creative moment driven wedding & lifestyle photography. We are committed to telling our couples stories and supporting them in ways that allow them to be free of stress and to be in the moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jos and Tree came highly recommended to us and, having worked with them, we now know why! A lot of people take wedding photos. Among them are a handful of folks who are also reliable, professional, and pleasant to work with. And within that smaller group, is an even smaller group of photographers who have real artistic vision matched with technical skill. Jos & Tree are, without a doubt, near the top of that select group. The images they produced of our wedding run the gamut from traditional wedding photos to absolute masterpieces of lighting, composition, and technical execution. Here's an example: as the day was wrapping up, and a bit *after* Jos and Tree's deadline for leaving had passed, they quickly posed my wife and I in front of a tree in the park; Jos had a vision for an image he wanted to capture in the fading light... and the resulting image proved absolutely magnificent; it is my favorite photo of the day, and among the top photographs I have seen anyone create, anywhere. On top of the artistic talent and skill, Jos & Tree were an absolute pleasure to work with; responsive, pleasant, personable, and fun. They were always on time, and ready to work... and work they did!! The amount of effort and energy they put into capturing lots of beautiful and creative images cannot be overstated. And then, they edited them beautifully, and have been working with us to select images to print and put in a book. The quality of their artistic consultation has been phenomenal. My wife and I have seen a lot of wedding photos that people proudly post online on sites like reddit. I can confidently say that I've yet to see more interesting and beautiful wedding photos than the ones I've seen from Jos and Tree. It's a pleasure to give these two lovely people our highest recommendation.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here! I genuinely love getting to know other humans (and animals, of course) and telling their stories through photographs in a new and creative way. Life is really lovely and I want to capture it all, even the messy or complicated parts. As an inclusive elopement & wedding photographer, I have a passion for documenting human emotion, and every kind of love. All are welcome here. I believe you should have beautiful and creative photos to tell your story. I love photos that are simple, the ones that make you feel something. I can't wait to hear from you!

Angelina, words can not express how happy I was to find you and have you photograph our special day in Portland. You have such a great eye capturing those precious moments that are unstaged and genuine. Your moody, dramatic editing is what pulled me in to booking you, and you delivered on everything I had hoped for. Old Hollywood glam, that "Gatsby" era, and the serene zen of a buddhist temple. You captured all the feels and we are so happy with how everything turned out. THANK YOU!

My inspiration comes from my time spent in stunning landscapes from the sea to the forest. I love capturing moments outdoors through photography. I have over 10 years of photography experience and love working with all couples. I am originally from Dallas, Texas, but have lived in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my husband and two german shepherds. I went to film school at the University of Texas in Austin. Besides having a camera in hand, I enjoy camping, hiking, skiing, surfing, drinking kombucha, painting, singing, and traveling.

As the Mother of the Bride, i cannot say enough about Helen, our wedding photographer. When my daughter and her husband researched photographers, they were drawn to Helen's photos and her editing skills. And the fact that she was competitively but reasonably priced was a plus. During the planning process she was very accessible, and answered emails with complete and clear information. She is a warm and friendly person, but at the same time very professional. She had several virtual meetings with the bride and groom, and took care of every detail so that by the big day, we knew what to expect. During the wedding and reception, Helen was there to get the best shots without ever being in anyone's way. She emailed some beautiful shots after a few days, and then it only took three weeks to get the entire portfolio sent back to us! The newlyweds are absolutely in love with their photos. These pictures captured feelings and emotions, as well as wonderful visions of a perfect day. The wedding was at TImberline/Mt. Hood, and since Helen is a master of nature photography, the end result was perfect. I cannot recommend Anchor and Pine Collective enough!

Her attention to detail, her shooting style, her ability to snap the best candids, her fun & very pleasant attitude & really I could go on about all of the wonderful qualities she embodies as a photographer & a person. Not only do I recommend her to every single one of my clients, I also use Crystal to shoot my family photos, which I know isn't easy with two very energetic toddlers & a dog. She has captured some truly amazing photos of my family that I will cherish forever.

Experiencing and documenting the love and joy between couples and their families and friends is the best job ever.

We are SO happy with our decision to have Briana shoot our wedding! We booked them back in 2018 and they did our engagement shoot in 2019. Bria was great about communicating and getting to know us prior to our shoot date! It truly felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend. Fast forward to 2020 when we learned our wedding would have to be cancelled due to COVID. Again, Bria was wonderful in her communication and we were able to shift gears and turn our would be wedding into an elopement shoot. Bria and Andrew are going to continue with us in our journey as we throw our big bash in 2022! Our photographs are absolutely STUNNING. Her style is very candid -- doesn't feel too pose-y. We got so many great shots at both of our events. She also works with GREAT local businesses for prints. We are absolutely in love with our gallery wall and our albums. Such high quality. Briana Morrison Photography is worth every penny and then some!

I live in Portland with my little family and I am thankful every day that I get to do something I love as a full time career. I got my BFA in photography from California College of the Arts in 2009, and started shooting weddings shorty after that. I believe there is so much magic in a photograph. It allows something to keep on existing, even after it’s gone. I strive to capture moments authentically but cleverly, using light, color and composition to make things compelling and beautiful. I try to be as candid as possible and use very minimal posing; taking a photojournalistic approach whenever I can.

Terra is an incredible photographer and has a natural talent of capturing the purest moments. We are so grateful that she was able to photograph our wedding day safely during these crazy times.

Terra has a fun-loving energy about her and will make you feel comfortable from the start.

I’m a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I’ve documented hundreds of couples’ love stories over the past 11 years, traveling all over the United States and beyond, and it has been one of the biggest honors of my life. I received my degree in photojournalism in 2010 and chose to pursue documenting love instead of local and world news events, but my background in photojournalism greatly guides how I approach my duty as a wedding photographer. I always strive to capture the day how it happened: the love, the laughter and the tears. I want you to look back at your wedding images for decades to come with joy and pride.

I’m a formally trained and creative photographer, originally from a little beach town on the south shore of Boston and love brought me to Oregon. I’m an easy going, small-town girl exploring this big, beautiful world, and sharing love stories along the way.

So, being a photographer, I honestly feel blessed and honored to have a career that revolves around love, new beginnings, and happy memories.

Professional photographer, lover of natural light, traveler, adventurer, happy wife and a dreamer! I fell in love with photography when my dad gave me his old film camera from a dusty box he had uncovered in our garage one spring cleaning day, and I have enjoyed taking photos ever since. I have travelled the world with my backpack, camera and trusty Apple laptop from Europe to India and South East Asia learning and being enriched by all the wonderful different cultures.

We first met Kate after winning an adventure engagement photo shoot. I had followed her on Instagram for a while and was a big fan of her light and bright style. She and her husband Dom were so wonderful to work with, we couldn’t imagine having our wedding with any other photographers! My husband was worried about feeling comfortable in front of the camera, but Kate was always excited to see us and gave great tips about posing. She made us feel and look beautiful and comfortable the whole day. We couldn’t wipe the smiles off of our faces and were able to concentrate on our happiness rather than worrying about how our pictures would turn out. She captured every detail to perfection, so we can relive the little things we worked hard to plan or didn’t have time to focus on. Kate has a lot of resources for couples and is extremely responsive via email. She returned our sneak peeks even faster than normal, at the request of my mother-in-law, just so she could show her friends who were unable to come to the wedding. Additionally, our whole gallery was sent to us in just a few weeks! That’s faster than most people get their first pictures back! Kate and Dom really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and special. We heartily recommend Kate Holt Photography to other couples!

Hi I'm Lauren! Just a photo loving southern California gal currently calling the PNW home. I live for late nights and early mornings, always ready for the next adventure. I grew up wanting to be a National Geographic photographer and obsessed with documentaries, which led me to photographing everything around me.

When we began planning our wedding, we put photography at the top of our priority list. We knew we wanted to walk away from our wedding with images that represented us and our relationship. We chose Lauren because of her stunning portfolio, brilliant eye for capturing moments, crisp editing style, and calming demeanor. She was responsive and warm from the start, answering our questions, giving us insights, building a rapport and relationship with us. We went into our wedding weekend fully confident that Lauren would capture our day beautifully and artistically start to finish. Our expectations were met and surpassed. Lauren carries herself with such professionalism, poise, and grace. She made us feel comfortable and confident in front of her lens, from getting ready shots, to our first look and portraits, to walking down the aisle, to cocktail hour and reception. We genuinely enjoyed every moment we spent with Lauren, from planning, to meetings and venue visits, to wedding day. Seeing our sneak peek photos, delivered so promptly after the wedding, we were transported back to that day. Her style of documentary photography combined with her clean editing results in natural, genuine, beautiful, bright photos. She truly represented us in our best light. She balanced portraits with candids, gifting us with images that tell the story of our wedding and of our love. Seeing and experiencing her work, it is clear she puts her heart and soul into her photography and her artistry and lives to create and capture beauty and love. We are full of gratitude to Lauren for capturing the memories that we will be reminiscing on for a lifetime.

WE ARE ALL WE HAVE Human connection is the backbone of any meaningful portrait and the driving force behind my work. It's the beautiful vogue-like editorials, the in-between moments, and the snapshots that make up the story. The tears you didn't see as your mom helped you into your dress, your family's reaction to your vows, and your friends busting moves with grandma on the dance floor. Together these images create a visual story of the love that remains. I want you to dust off your wedding album 10, 20, 50 years from now and be flooded by the love that remains nestled in those pages. Your love story. Your legacy.

I’m teaching myself latte-art, I like podcasts with comedians, and traveling the world with my best friend. Since becoming a wedding photographer 11 years ago, I’ll often stumble across a photo I made somewhere on the internets. Sometimes it’s celebrating an anniversary, reliving a funny moment, honoring a mother on Mother’s Day, or remembering a family member that has passed away. It’s a wild balance of pressure and joy that I approach with all seriousness and hilarity.

Being the daughter of a photographer, I learned to operate a camera when I was 12 years old by following my dad around at weddings and taking candid photos of the bride, groom, and guests. I was always in the background, trying not to be seen, waiting for that perfect moment to snap a shot when nobody was looking. My dad taught me everything. After he retired 12 years ago, I decided to start my own photography business. That candid style he taught me shaped my photography style, and is still very prominent in my work to this day.

I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

We absolutely loved working with Holly Castillo Photography on our wedding day. Holly was a delight to work with: friendly, relaxed, and knowledgeable. During the ceremony and the reception, Holly quietly and unobtrusively snapped away, capturing some truly wonderful and emotional images. When it came time for posed group and couple photos, Holly was efficient and communicated direction clearly but didn't give the air of being rushed, so everyone was able to feel at ease in what can sometimes be an awkward experience. I'm hoping not to have another wedding of my own, but I would book Holly again in a heartbeat if I did!

Awarded Best of Zola
The first part of wedding planning for us was finding the photographer because it was the most important to me (other than the man I was marrying). I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

From the planning and envisioning ideas to the day of capturing all your special moments and the in-between shots, I'll be there to support you through it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was so happy when Jasmine was able to photograph my small elopement on short notice! She was so nice with me and all my family and friends, and really felt like a part of my small ceremony. She captured amazing small moments, and even planned a secret hour with my maid of honor in the morning for a surprise brunch! I was so happy to have her there for all of it, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning.

Hi there! My name is Kelsey and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Colorado-based wedding and elopement photographer, and I shoot everywhere from Europe to locally in Denver! My favorite thing about photography is capturing the candid “in-between” moments, real emotions, and when people bring their dogs to their shoots. I work with my clients to create memories that last beyond their wedding day, and deliver photos that capture the fun, romantic and timeless moments so you can re-live them for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey is an incredibly talented photographer - she truly "sees" the subject of the photo. She understands their energy, personality, and their comfort (and discomfort) zones. Kelsey has the ability to capture these special moments in time in a photo, that when revisited/looked at after the event, take you RIGHT back to that moment. She is artistic, professional, and consistent with her art and business. She is always exactly where you need her to be, and extremely reliable. She puts the client at ease, even when being in front of a camera is not the most comfortable experience for most people! She is organized in her approach before, during and after the event but never too pushy or overbearing. She listens, observes, and performs at a very high level. Working with Kelsey was a dream, and I feel thankful to have worked with her. I believe the photographer is the most important vendor during the "wedding" process (engagement, wedding, etc.) and I struck gold with Sunbeam!!

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!

Whether you landed on this page to hire a wedding photographer, or a couples photographer to craft a story that documents your relationship, I'm your person. I put so much love into every session from couple’s portraits to full-day weddings and Destination wedding weekends. I pour a little bit of myself into every piece of art I make and I can't wait to learn who you are, and what moves you.

We hired Val for as our Wedding Photographer and it was truly the best decision we made for the entire wedding. Val was responsive, incredibly helpful, willing to email/call/text throughout the entire process and very knowledgable not just about wedding photography, but about all things planning. Not to mention she has a heart of gold and is truly the most loving, encouraging and supportive person to work with. She gives you her FULL attention, whether in person or on the phone and makes it clear that this is not just a job for her, she is here to experience the day with you. We had an hour long phone call before the day in which she provided valuable insight into our timeline, and helped me flesh out a 12 hour timeline to ensure we got to everything we wanted. She showed up EARLY on the day of, was above and beyond prepared, and treated absolutely everyone, whether fellow vendors or our friends and family with true kindness and respect. She is half therapist half photographer I would say, as she is willing to be with you in moments of emotions to provide kind words and a reassuring smile, but also to capture those moments with her unbelievable talent. NOW TO HER PHOTOS- we were BLOWN away. I am a wedding coordinator myself and I look at thousands of galleries a year, and when I say I have never seen such raw emotion captured, paired with a beautifully creative eye, I mean it. We told Val we wanted less posed photos and more candid shots, and she absolutely nailed it. She sent us sneak peaks less than 12 hours after our wedding ended, and had the full gallery back to us in less than a MONTH. That is unheard of in this business, and Val did not sacrifice a single image quality, creativity or intentionality. We are so beyond happy with our pictures, and so thankful to have had Val by our side for our wedding. She is also amazing at providing prompts that inherit true reactions, which I loved. I gave her a two page long shot list of family photos, and she cruised right through them, without any stress or confusion. She was patient in time when we were running behind, and was flexible to move around timeline items as necessary. We did our private vows and asked her to give us a little space, and I didn't even notice she was there, but she got the MOST beautiful images that did not interrupt our moment by one bit. Val is truly wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to absolutely ANYONE!!! HIRE HER RIGHT NOW!

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

I’ll try to keep this short: I’m a silly, introverted, rule breaker with a sincere whimsical streak. Originally from Iowa with a decent chunk of time spent bopping between Minneapolis and Oregon, I love weddings + photography (duh), my nephew, a stiff gin + tonic, propagating too many damn houseplants, and my cats. Last I checked I’m an INFP, Enneagram 4, and Capricorn which makes me quite the pragmatic daydreamer + observer: as unnecessarily prepared as a Boy Scout, curiously creative, and hella laid back, all of which uniquely prepares me for the ebb and flow of a wedding day.

Caitlin is a dream. From the time she arrived to the beginning moments of our wedding, Caitlin right away was comfortable with everyone. She brings an ease which allows people be calm and we honestly forgot she was there, snapping away. There were many moments where she would check in and make sure everyone was good, the energy was so sweet. We received our photos right when she said they would be done. The work Caitlin does captures the warmth, and light of a love event. My husband cried the first, second and third time we looked though the collection. We will treasure them forever.

Elopements are an incredible way to fuse together everything you love about doing life with your person and celebrate your relationship in a genuine, meaningful way.

I'm a photographer who specializes in 35mm and medium format film photography. I also offer digital photography and am typically shooting both on a wedding day. My inspiration comes from organic moments, perfectly imperfect details, finding beauty in simplicity, and natural, modern and creative environments. I find that I thrive most when I get to work with couples who are so involved in the moment, they don’t care much about a wrinkle in their dress or a misplaced hair.

Once we got Marci on board, I felt immediately at ease about the wedding. I knew that, no matter what happened, no matter what details about the day wouldn't go perfectly, we would have great photos and the end of it all. She offered so much of herself before the actual date to check in with us and make sure we could talk about anything we wanted on the day. I love how everything she does feels intimate, natural, and captures the 2 people just as they are. I highly recommend booking Mars Takes Photos for your special day.

Our package came with an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to really get comfortable in front of the cameras, they turned out lovely and we realized how truly passionate Taira is about her job. The photography team worked with us to hit every "shot list" photo we wanted to get on our big day and captured the most beautiful details. Taira and Joey felt like family at our wedding and have been so good to us with their communication and professionalism. Our wedding album just arrived (hand-delivered too!) and it's amazing, I'll never forget how we felt that day because it's so wonderfully and thoroughly portrayed with their photography.
