I cannot say enough good things about Josh Newton. I have had the pleasure of working with Josh on many projects and in different settings from modeling for styled shoots to specialized marketing material to my own wedding and am always blown away by his artistic eye and ability to write a story through photography. His attention to detail is beyond compare, he is wonderful at guiding posing and creating a comfortable environment for solo modeling, couples and large parties alike. Josh listens, is so kind, is a joy to work with and always delivers above and beyond all expectations.

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

At Analog and Digitals, we specialize in wedding photography that seamlessly blends the timeless charm of film with the precision of digital imagery. Our approach captures the authentic emotions and candid moments of your special day, ensuring each photograph tells a genuine story. By integrating the soft, nostalgic tones of analog film with the clarity and versatility of digital photography, we create a harmonious collection of images that reflect both tradition and contemporary style.

There’s a shot of us sneaking fries in the kitchen between dances, and somehow it ended up being one of the most “us” photos ever. Nothing felt forced — just genuine, cinematic moments stitched together like a memory reel. The video? Pure magic. I didn’t think something could feel both nostalgic and brand new at the same time.

Georgy Shishkin Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves St. Paul, OR

Hi, I'm Georgy Shishkin — a wedding and elopement photographer with over 16 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.

I rarely write comments about the work of specialists, but it is simply impossible not to appreciate the work of Georgy Shishkin! This man is an amazing Photographer with a capital letter! The way he sees the frame, how he builds the shooting process, what impression he makes on everyone who participates in it - this is great professionalism, experience and, of course, a gift given to him from above! For the past 6 years, George has been filming the most important events of our lives. There are more than 1000 of his pictures in family albums, which we review every time with great joy and nostalgia! Our wedding, the birth of children, walks, trips to Altai and Baikal, Geogry was always happy to agree to all our crazy filming ideas and the result always exceeded expectations! This is the rare case when you are already spoiled by good shots and your expectations are too high, but every time he surpasses himself and the shots that you get in the end cause just a flurry of genuine emotions and joy! I wholeheartedly recommend Georgy Shishkin as the best photographer in our city! Because sometimes I had to work with other professionals, and as a result, we all concluded that no one coped with the task better than Georgy! Georgy always exceeds expectations and does his job with a piece of his soul, it is felt in every frame to which he put his talented hand of a photographer!

Melissa Atle

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves St. Paul, OR

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.

Hey hey!! SO STOKED you're here! My name's Lennie! I'm based in Portland, OR but have been documenting engagements + tiny weddings all over the country since 2017. I'm a hardcore introverted enneagram 9 and am obsessed with my doggo, my husband, and all things travel!

Picking a photographer is not an easy task but once I saw Lennie's Instagram and realized she had done one of my favorite family photo shoots of my sister-in-law and her family, I knew it had to be her. After meeting her and going over wedding details I knew there wasn’t a better photographer for us out there. Lennie made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and during our engagement shoot. She had fun games to play that made for the cutest pictures. She is very responsive and quick to answer emails and was willing to do whatever she could to make sure I got everything I needed day of photographed. I truly couldn’t imagine the photos being any better and we’ve only received the sneak peek so far. Even the second shooter was super sweet and friendly. Our photos were the most important thing to us and Lennie exceeded ALL expectations, truly blew them out of the water and we are forever grateful to her and her talent! I'd post our entire engagement and wedding album if I could and I could write a book about how amazing she is!

Adventure Stories Photo & Video

  • Photojournalistic style

Our story began with our mutual love of craft beer at a small brewery in Portland, Oregon. We met on a double-blind date, and while our friends and the other half of the date never spoke again, we never stopped talking (and yes, pickup lines involving beer do work, apparently!). Even though craft beer can strengthen just about any relationship, our shared love of adventure sealed the deal.

We hired Adventure Stories for both their photography and videography services for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! We enjoyed working with both Megan and Vishnu every step of the wedding planning process. From our first emails, to the actual day of the wedding, Megan and Vishnu were both friendly and professional. We had to work through many changes to our wedding due to Covid-19, and Megan and Vishnu were there to help and support us through every change. When we had questions or requests, Megan and Vishnu were there to help us, and were very flexible and caring. We appreciate the careful consideration they take when approaching each couple and client's story, that was one of the things that set them apart for us. Megan and Vishnu very much focus on telling your story! Their work is not only extremely beautiful, but is created with the couple/client in mind. We could not recommend Adventure Stories more, and we highly suggest hiring them as a pair, as they were a joy to work with as a couple!

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.

Chances are, you landed on this page because you’re looking for remarkable wedding photos that not only challenge the status-quo, but also serve as a unique and special family heirloom.

I am a PNW girl, wife of my middle school sweetheart, Logan, and mama to three lazy kitties and a puppy. Most of the time you will catch me reading, taking long scenic drives with Logan, or sitting in watching a rom-com. Being engaged, and now married (still can’t believe it), has given me such a deep perspective of what a being a bride is really like. From day one, my goal is to capture what was real, with nothing forced or too posed. I want to tell stories. I want you to look at my images and feel something.

We had Sierra storm photography photograph our wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. We get compliments on our pictures all the time. She was punctual and so kind and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

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.

We cannot recommend Maria enough! From the beginning with our engagement photos to the end with our wedding, Maria was nothing but fantastic. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is incredibly passionate about her craft and truly cares about the people she photographs. She was so patient with us during our engagement shoot, and made such an effort to know all the tiny details of our wedding. An entire paragraph could be written on how talented she is, but her gorgeous images speak for themselves! She makes magic happen at weddings, catching all the details and in-between moments, and delivers such beautifully authentic photographs. It was a lovely experience working with her, and so reassuring to know that, through an already stressful time, we were in good hands. Thank you, Maria, for capturing all the love at our wedding! We will cherish these photographs for a lifetime.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Hello there! I’m Amy. My roots are here in the PNW, (Edmonds, Washington to be exact) but I spent most of my life in Texas waiting for the day when I could move my family home to the northwest. I have 5 sons (yep, 5!) and have to pinch myself when I think about my amazing family and this career that has taken my husband and I all over the world. I value experience and relationships over material things, and work mostly with couples who are planning smaller weddings or elopements. After 12 years and 300+ weddings, I’ve learned that connection and authenticity are essential to who I am, and the way that I work.

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
Let’s start off with the fact that the whole week we were in Alaska felt like a blur, because it was truly more awe-inspiring than anything we could’ve imagined, making it SO hard to go back to reality after this fantasy adventure that Sam helped us cook up. There were helicopters, tons of different sights, glaciers, and MOOSE! One thing we loved about working with Sam was that it never really felt like we took posed photos; there were prompts and directions, but it really was genuine, she captured us just being weirdly us. Jeff complained about getting his photos taken in the months leading up to our elopement, but the experience was way better than expected (he grew up despising cameras) and all of our photos are so full of life, taking us back to that exact time and place. Also, Sam suggested thinking about our day as an adventure first and a wedding second, and it really helped us realize the potential and plan a day that was way more badass and memorable than any traditional wedding! We certainly don’t feel like we missed out on anything by eloping; in fact, we feel the experience was more meaningful and intentional because we got to experience all of these new adventures together that were uniquely us. I’ve already had friends and colleagues come up to me asking how to elope like we did. My advice is, “Here’s Sam’s contact info – you need to call her.”

Capturing Authentic Stories That Transcend Generations || There’s nothing I find more special than witnessing a couple celebrate their love in the most meaningful way possible – whether that’s surrounded by loved ones or in a private moment shared between just the two of them. Your wedding day should feel thoughtful and intentional. It’s about creating moments that resonate with who you are as a couple – moments that evoke a sense of calm and reflection on the journey that brought you together and the adventures that lie ahead.

My husband and I have never had a big, traditional wedding mindset -- we firmly believe that getting married is about whatever works best for a particular couple so long as they're celebrating their love the right way. For us, that meant doing something intentional, special, and unique. And oh boy, did we ever get that with Tori. I have the absolute privilege (HONOR, really) to know Tori well. I have seen how amazing she is at her job just through the evidence (photos, couples raving about her, etc). but never could have fully understood just how gifted, talented, and amazing she is until we fully experienced it for ourselves. Leading up to our day, Tori helped us figure out the perfect location for us -- a spot we'd never been -- while managing and juggling all of the logistics for us (could we do the jeep trail?, when would the sun set?, could we make a reservation for dinner too?, would we like the spot?, etc.). Let me be clear -- I am not a planner. And one of the biggest reasons we wanted to elope was to avoid the traditional stress that usually comes with "planning" a large wedding. To say that Riley and I felt zero stress would be a dramatic understatement. The entire process was FUN and EXCITING -- exactly what we always wanted it to be. And that was just leading up to the day. The day we got married was unreal in the best way possible. I can't describe what it's like to have a photographer there with you who sees you, understands you, and most importantly documents your love authentically. We couldn't stand the idea of a big, pose-y photoshoot on a day we wanted to be so genuine and about our love. And you know what? We didn't get an ounce of that. Our day was pure magic. Blissful, stunning, 1000% joyful magic. And Tori was one of the biggest parts of that. Trust your day (and your love) with her and never look back. And, as a bonus, the photos are so stunning we cry every time we see them!

Timeless over trendy has always been my mantra with wedding photography. I’m Natalie, a Portland, Oregon wedding photographer. I've been photographing weddings and families for over ten years, and my focus is on human connection. The simplest moments, the ones that aren't orchestrated or directed, are the ones you'll want to remember forever.

I am so grateful to have had the pleasure to work with Natalie twice! The first time I met her she photographed my friend's wedding in Hood River and when I saw the wedding photos it truly felt like the representation of that day. filled with joy and love. After searching endlessly for a photographer i was recommended to Natalie twice and when we got to speak she asked such intentional questions about our love story, what photography means to us, and photos that mean so much to us. the conversation moved me and i knew i wanted a photographer that could capture the emotion and joy of that day.. and she was sure she did. She understood we didn't really want overly styled/editorial photos and wanted more time to spend with our loved ones. Our French-Mexican wedding was beautiful and I'm so grateful that Natalie captured such beautiful moments. She was a joy to work with and I hope we get to work with each other for other life events in the future.

Sophisticated and timeless fine art photography based in Portland, Oregon. With over ten years of experience, Photography Avec Meg specializes in wedding and engagement photography. Megan’s style combines natural and airy techniques and an emphasis on capturing candid moments with elegance.

It was an absolute delight to have Meg photograph our wedding. She is thoughtful and sweet, and so easy to work with. My husband and I met with her to do engagement photos to make sure we’d be a good fit and Meg immediately put us both at ease (although we did our engagement session at a winery so the pinot may have had something to do with that as well). On our wedding day she was a cool, calming presence behind the lens, and even in our most intimate moments I never felt the camera was intrusive. We forgot she was there, and I think that’s one of the best compliments I can give. We love her light, natural photography style, and she has captured so many beautiful moments that we will treasure forever. We’re both very glad she was able to share our special day with us, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I am a sentimental wedding photographer who loves celebrating free-spirited and natural couples who love the outdoors. Camping has always been my church. The outdoors are my sanctuary. I believe in presence over presents. I believe in pushing boundaries, giving time is better than gifts and comfort over style. Elopements and intimate weddings are my primary specialty, but if my work resonates with you, let's talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
Erica Swantek is by far one of my favorite photographers to work with, and I’ve worked with a lot as a bridal shop owner. She is always prompt, professional and friendly. Her laugh is infectious and she makes you feel like your sister is taking your photos. Perfect fit for anyone who isn’t comfortable in front of a camera. Also, her images are absolutely stunning. She has a great eye for detail and and knows exactly what lighting and backgrounds are the best. The hardest thing about working with Erica is narrowing down the image you want to hang on the wall, as every single image is lovely! Each image is a piece of art that has been lovingly captured for your special moment. She has not become desensitized to special moments like a lot of photographers have… she treats each session like it was more important than the last.

I am an Oregon, USA born and raised portrait and wedding photographer. I have doing photography professionally for 10 years. I have dabbled with photography off and on my whole life but I have been professional since 2014, and as of Fall 2018, photography is my full-time pursuit! I currently reside in Ridgefield, Washington with my partner and two cats that are basically my children, I’m obsessed with animals. I love to travel! Road trips are my favorite so I can memorize the lyrics to songs and binge listen to podcasts- The Dollop, RedHanded & Crime Junkie are my favs!

Krista is an artist she puts lots of thought into her work and how it presents it self. She makes you feel comfortable and listens to what you want. I’ve worked with her for many years and she has leveled up! I recommend working with Krista!
