  • Serves Reedsport, OR

I love to have fun and bring joy to others. I specialize in portrait photography and weddings. After 15 years I am focusing my weddings more on smaller side like micro weddings or local elopements. I still take on a handful of regular weddings too.

Working with K See Images was an absolute delight from start to finish. Casey's fun, engaging, and intuitive communication style put us at ease and helped capture the authentic, enchanting, and organic moments of our wedding day. She came prepared for any weather, even providing umbrellas for the whole bridal party when the skies opened up. Casey has a true artist's eye, effortlessly breaking even the most nervous and stoic guests out of their shell to create stunning, vibrant photos that we'll treasure forever. We can't wait to continue working with Casey for all of our future milestones and family moments - she's a true gem!

True Light Photography was a wonderful experience for our family/maternity photos. Calea is timely, kind, and clear in her communication. She was enthusiastic about any idea for poses or backdrops we had, and kept us moving efficiently so we could capture great photos while our kids were in good moods. The final photos were absolutely stunning - the shots were so moving and incredibly flattering. We are thrilled with the quality of her work and the value she provided on such a special day for our family.

MaddyKate Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Maddy had an effective communication style - she responded quickly to emails and phone calls, and was personable in all of our interactions. Her documentary photography style resulted in high quality photos that truly captured the spirit of our big day. Maddy helped us create a vision for what we wanted our wedding photos to convey. On the wedding day itself, she blended into the background while still getting all the key moments on camera.

We are getting married in Sunriver next summer and wanted to find the perfect photographer. Red Aspen came highly recommended from our wedding planner - and after our first experience with her at our engagement photoshoot it is so easy to see why. From the minute we started working with her she has been a reliable communicator & a joy to be around! The day of our photo shoot, unexpected weather occurred and she used her expertise to produce the most incredible art. She navigated this with flexibility, optimism, and turned it into a better experience than we could have hoped for. Her eye for a beautiful shot is paralleled only by her ability to capture candid & authentic photos while making you feel natural & easy-going on camera. We cannot wait to work with her at our wedding!! Thank you a million Ashleigh!

I specialize in wedding and portrait photography in the Oregon, Washington, and California areas but I am a wanderer at heart and available for travel anywhere. I am wild about capturing breathtaking images that will tell YOUR story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Danielle when she put together a styled shoot and my boyfriend and I used the shoot as a date opportunity. Lol She did such a wonderful job and we loved her so much when he proposed to me a year later she was the first person I KNEW I wanted to photograph our wedding. She worked with our budget and helping me figure out how much time and how many photos I could afford. She got every photo on my list and my husband and I felt so comfortable with her too. She was so fun to have at our wedding with us. When I got pregnant she was our first call to take maternity photos. It had been pouring rain in the desert and she still captured BEAUTIFUL shots for us and even brought a dress for me to wear. Again, she took photos for us when our daughter was born and with my entire family which included 9 kids under the age of 15. Every single person ended up with stellar shots and we had several photos as a full group of 17 people where everyone was looking and smiling. Lol strongly recommend her, Danielle is someone you’ll want to keep with you through the years. As a photographer and a friend!

Sam Starns Adventure Elopements

  • Serves Reedsport, 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.

Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos.

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could write a book about Leah; or at least a very detailed blog post but I'll try to keep it shorter! As a fellow professional photographer, I got the opportunity to meet Leah and work with her as her 2nd photographer on a wedding. It took that one amazing experience and absolute blast of a time to know that whenever it was I got married she was THE photographer for me. Fast forward some years later it was finally my turn to tie the knot and my now husband and I chose our date based on when Leah was available, because there was no other option for me! I have gotten to work with dozens of photographers throughout my going on 10 year career, and I'm telling y'all, it doesn't get better than Leah. The photos - amazing! I love her eye for details, the crispness, the colors! Not to mention she is such a beautiful soul with the best personality and energy, with the professionalism to get a gallery worth of beautiful photos with you barely realizing she's there. While going through our gallery, I was stunned and overjoyed so many times to see things I had NO idea happened or even photos of people that I unfortunately didn't get to spend much time with yet seeing that they still enjoyed themselves. In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you can choose for your wedding day. I am so thankful my experience in the wedding industry allowed me to cross paths with Leah because that made a really important decision very easy for me. And I hope my review can help other soonlyweds out there make a hard decision easier. You will not go wrong choosing Leah to photograph your big day!
