Carlos took both our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Not only did he perfectly capture the moments we had discussed, he also has such a great eye for encapsulating the quite, loud, and sweet candid moments too. Not to mention, he has been so responsive and had such a fast turnaround time! We would highly recommend working with Carlos!

Her ability to seamlessly integrate our shared passion for fashion and art into the fabric of our wedding photography experience made the entire journey not just memorable but truly magical. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such a talented and inspiring artist, and we cannot recommend Michelle Alexandra highly enough to anyone seeking a photographer who not only captures moments but also creates timeless works of art.

Our approach is centered on capturing real emotions and candid moments, ensuring that every laugh, tear, and tender glance is preserved authentically. We believe in creating a relaxed environment where you can be yourselves, allowing us to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

I can’t stop looking at the photos and video, they captured every emotion perfectly. From the bride walking down the aisle to our family laughing during dinner, everything was documented beautifully. They were incredibly patient with all the kids and elderly guests, which I really appreciated. The video editing was flawless but still felt natural, not overdone. They made sure no detail was missed, even the little decorations and smiles in the crowd. I felt like I was reliving the day every time I watched it. Their professionalism was unmatched, and they somehow made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The way they captured genuine laughter and happy tears was amazing. My friends who saw the photos said they were some of the most beautiful wedding photos they’d ever seen. I’m so grateful for the memories they’ve preserved for us.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Danny is an amazing photographer all around. He was a pleasure to work with. Right from the start he was responsive and answered all our questions. My husband and I aren’t photogenic and get shy showing affection in front of people but he made it feel comfortable and the photos look natural. He is easy to talk to but still very professional. The delivery time of the photos was only a couple weeks! They were exactly what we were looking for. Danny also had the lowest price in our area. Overall, we are extremely happy Danny got to capture our big day and highly recommend him!

Awarded Best of Zola
Carly and Elliot from A Nomadic Love are truly one of a kind. They photographed one of our best friend’s weddings in 2019, another in 2023, and then ours in 2025, and we honestly couldn’t fathom having anyone else capture these moments. Their photos are truly unmatched. A Nomadic Love was the very first vendor I booked, long before I knew anything else about our wedding, because they were my one and only non-negotiable! Their style and editing speak for themselves, but what makes them even more special is who they are as people. They are so much fun to be around, they instantly make you feel comfortable, and seamlessly guiding you through each shot. They make everything so much fun, that you don't even really notice you are being photographed. Every experience I’ve had with them has been exceptional. Our wedding photos are beyond what we could have imagined, and we are still trying to narrow down which ones to print because every single one is that good. We’ve gotten endless compliments from family, friends, and are so happy with how our special day was documented through photo. Carly and Elliot are unlike any other, and we could not recommend them more

She took time out of her personal schedule to search for photo locations in the area before the wedding day. She also had multiple phone calls with us throughout the wedding planning process and was very responsive if we had questions or timeline updates. On the day of the wedding, she made sure we were on schedule and calmed our nerves as we moved from place to place.

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
My fiancé and I are getting married in May 2026 and are both pretty camera shy. We knew we wanted to get professional engagement and wedding photos done, but were nervous they would feel inauthentic. When we found Bailey’s page we were so excited about how she captured genuine joy from her couples in some of our favorite natural wonders in Oregon, which put us at ease going into our first conversation with her. Right out of the gate Bailey was incredible helping us feel comfortable with her, giving us resources to help guide our location outfit choices, and making us feel confident that we weren’t going to regret this decision. On the day of our engagement shoot, Bailey showed up at sunrise with us on the Oregon coast and ran around the beach for over 3 hours with us because the lighting kept shifting in such incredible ways through the clouds. Not only that, but she went above and beyond wrangling our dogs while we got some couple shots followed by some with the pups in some truly special family shots we will certainly be hanging up in the house. We had the best time with Bailey and the engagement photos she delivered were beyond anything we could have imagined. The way she captures the little smiles and moments between loved ones is unmatched, and her attention to lighting nuance and details of the natural area you’re in make her photos that much more special. We ended up using some of her photos for our invites and website, but are most excited to frame some for the house to remember forever. We can’t wait to have her as our wedding photographer and couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone looking!
