Welcome to Taira Marie Photography, we are excited that you have found us! Take your time browsing around to learn a little bit about us and our style. We are here for you if you have any questions and are looking forward to connecting with you!

Deciding on a wedding photographer is not an easy task because you know these are once-in-a-lifetime memories to be captured, but choosing and working with Taira Marie Photography was nothing short of extraordinary. We discovered their Instagram through our Wedding venue, as they had worked together on some events and photoshoots, and I was immediately drawn to the photography style. It was completely serendipitous to find out that they had our wedding date available and hit it off with their team on our first meeting. 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.

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.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

sound & sea photography + films

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves The Dalles, OR

I’m Julie! I am so excited that you are interested in choosing sound and sea to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, someone organized and fun, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

Julie is amazing!! From the first meeting with her to the day of our elopement, she was friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. She captured our special moment perfectly and followed us to our two extra locations to get pictures. She provided direction to get the best shots and provided insightful recommendations to ensure the best possible photos. If you can get Julie as your photographer, DO IT!

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.

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.

Howdy! I'm Gwen. I am believer in love at first sight and that travel is the best teacher (experiencing new places makes my soul sing). I have been photographing weddings for over 13 years. From Iceland to Antarctica, Hawaii to Alaska, Shanghai to Scotland and frequently in Colorado my home-state, I've captured photos of incredible humans full of love. I quickly found my passion is documenting intimate weddings and elopements; those full of intention and a little untraditional. I support ALL clients and their right to marry who and how they choose.

It's important when looking for a photographer that you don't only like their work- you also jive with them personally. Gwen has a great eye for composition and detail while also being a great human and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Gwen!

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!

I am so grateful that we got to work with Krista! My partner and I are both a bit awkward in front of the camera, so we felt nervous at first. Krista is very kind and easygoing and she immediately made us feel comfortable. We did an engagement shoot with her a month or so before our elopement in our home and our neighborhood. She got many great shots that really felt like us, which has never been our experience with photos before. The day of our elopement she both had lots of ideas and also made sure to get what we had imagined, and took so many incredible photos! She was prompt and professional and was even willing to drive with us to another part of town to get some pictures with the cherry blossoms, which was truly above and beyond. Working with her was lovely all around and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, especially awkward queer folks like ourselves who want to feel affirmed, supported, and beautiful. Thank you so much Krista!

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 gravitated towards photographing weddings because they are so incredible to witness & everyone deserves stunning imagery of their vows, of their family, of their teary-eyed, sniffly first dances with dad. I am an intentional portrait photographer & documentarian. I like to take it slow. I’ll be a fly on the wall when necessary but I'll definitely go after a good portrait when I see it. With our powers combined, together we can create some stunning imagery you'll cherish for always.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boise, Idaho. Idaho raised, the outdoors owns my soul and I love spending time with my family doing everything from camping to snowboarding to biking and all the things in between. An explorer at heart, my passion for adventure has taken me worldwide and there is more I can't wait to discover. I fell in love with photography after seeing the bold portraits of Annie Leibowitz and double exposures by Jerry Uelsmann. I love creating stories you can't wait to return to, rereading dozens of times and still entranced by the characters within them.

Katy made every step of the way extra special and fun. We are so thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos! She went above and beyond what we would have ever expected from a photographer-- from scouting multiple locations, being prepared for any type of weather, to even helping us come up with planning ideas for our special day! We would highly recommend Katy and we will be using her again for any of our photography needs.

I LOVE photography! I've captured tens of thousands of photographs and every single one of them is a memory. I recall everything about the times those photos were taken. I treat my clients' photos in the same, caring manner... that the memories I'm capturing for you are also cherished memories for me

My husband and I have worked with Dee several times over the years. he is so much fun to work with. His photos are always worth the wait and impress every time they are shown. He has such a great eye for capturing perfect moments. If you are looking to book with him and are unsure of a time frame, definitely ask for his opinion. He has done so many weddings and elopements all over the coast, he knows what hes doing and what hes talking about. Can't recommend enough!

We're Natasha and Brian! A husband and wife, PNW elopement photographer duo. When we're not getting slimed by our own slobbery dog Fern, or helping you plan your dream wedding day, you can probably find us alpine lake lounging, making a weird new kimchi flavor, or deep on the forestry roads in our (always dirty) Tacoma blasting some indie alt or rap (there's rarely an in between lol). We're your photographers, die-hard dog petters, and donut-eaters that are all about playful banter, real conversations, and no icky small talk.

For me and my now-husband Ryan, the importance of finding an excellent wedding photographer was unparalleled. We discovered Natasha and immediately were drawn to the nostalgic, film quality to her work. We love the way she captures moments that feel both so real and so dreamy at the same time. It’s an art! Additionally, correspondence with Natasha was always a pleasure. She was speedy in her responses, always answered any questions, and just extremely down-to-earth and easy going. Our introduction to working with Natasha came from our winter engagement session. We chose to do the shoot at home and around our neighborhood in Seattle. Though we were still nervous in front of the camera, Natasha chatted with us and helped us open up. The photos from this December day were cozy, comfortable, and felt completely like us! And finally the Big Day arrived! Natasha and Brian photographed our July 2023 wedding and the results were just perfect - more lovely than we could have dreamed. On top of that, we loved getting to hang out with them! They made our wedding day feel calmer, more relaxed, and allowed us to just be us. We highly recommend Natasha and Brian for all your engagement and wedding photography needs. They’re the best!

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 spent the next few years of our whirlwind romance exploring the Pacific Northwest

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!

I' m Courtney, a photographer based in Salt Lake City Utah where I live with my husband and English bulldog, Winston. I began photographing at the age of 10 years old when I picked up my first pink camera from toys r us. I did little photoshoots with the neighbor kids and boy has that been one of the best decisions yet. ​ I have been a professional photographer for 5 years. Capturing love, couples, self-love sessions, and so many incredible stories. Photography is the gift that keeps on giving. I have made the deepest connections and friendships, and been blessed with the opportunity to story tell and create art full-time.

Courtney did our engagements and our wedding day and it was beyond anything we could have hoped for! She was so intentional about making sure we were a right fit and we fell in love the moment we met her! She made us feel so comfortable and she was incredibly efficient! She made sure to capture every moment that was so important to us and we know that every photo will be magical. She coached us, cheered us on, and is a wonderful friend. If you want to feel like the only couple in the world, you should book her! Her photos really are absolutely priceless.

I'm Megan, a fine art wedding photographer serving New England & the Pacific Northwest. I've been photographing weddings since 2015, and I still tear up during just about every wedding ceremony. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm running after my one year old daughter, renovating our 1932 colonial home, and adding to my continually growing collection of cookbooks.

Megan is one of the kindest, nicest, most wonderful humans, on top of being a truly fantastic photographer. From the first call to discuss her style and how the process would go, we could tell she was different. She was so easy to work with! She made everything feel so natural and put both me and my now-husband at ease. She was considerate and creative both during our engagement shoot and our actual wedding day, offering suggestions and taking advantage of the beautiful scenery, golden hour, and spontaneous moments to truly capture our day. She treated us and our party with tenderness and grace, and brought an incredible calm to a very busy day. Her photos are also absolutely gorgeous! Looking at them, I honestly can’t believe they’re real! She elevated what she saw and captured our day, distilling the emotions and experience, and produced photos that are a perfect encapsulation of our day: full of pure joy, love, and light. I am so glad we worked with Megan - we will treasure the moments she captured forever. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
