Maria Newman Photography

I’m a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I’ve documented hundreds of couples’ love stories over the past 13+ 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 offer couples both over a decade of experience as well as formal training in documentary style photography. My style is a blend of both photojournalism and fine art photography. Addtioinally, I have been told I am a very "zen" and calming presence on wedding days. I go out of my way during both the planning process and the wedding day to ensure my couples receive all the pictures they've requested and more.
