Hey babes, I'm Khali! I'm a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon capturing ALLLLL the love! I love candid, raw and authentic moments. My photography shouldn't feel posed or unnatural. It should be all about documenting you for who you really are; whatever your love language may be. I will always do everything I can to make sure your day is spectacular. Transparency is super important to me, so if you have any questions - just ask!

Hey, I’m Katie! I’m a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon, and I love capturing real moments, happy tears, and all the beautiful chaos that makes your wedding day special. I focus on candid, heartfelt images with a timeless feel. Photos that bring you right back to the laughter, nerves, and that “we did it” moment. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a mom to two humans and three fur babies, married to my high school sweetheart for 19 years. You’ll usually find me with coffee in hand, rewatching Gilmore Girls, or scrolling TikTok a little longer than I should.

Choosing a photographer for your wedding day is such a meaningful decision, and I am truly honored every time a couple trusts me to capture one of the most important days of their lives. My approach is rooted in a documentary yet elegant style, allowing me to preserve your wedding exactly as it unfolds — the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the in-between moments, and the intentional details that make your celebration uniquely yours. My goal is to create imagery that feels timeless, emotional, and true to your story so you can relive your day for decades to come.

Love knows no bounds. Every person is deserving of love and deserving of having it captured perfectly. I believe in equality. I believe in living simply and loving deeply. I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

Hi friend!! I'm Karmen. I believe love deserves to be documented with intention, honesty, and care. The kind that feels cinematic but real. Elevated but effortless. I believe your wedding day should feel like you, not a production performed for the camera. The most meaningful images live in the in between. Quiet nerves before the ceremony, hands finding each other without thinking, laughter that spills out when the timeline pauses. Your photos are never about perfection. They are about presence. Thoughtfully guided when needed, and quietly observed when the moment belongs to you.

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, where your best friends and family will come together. A time that you won’t get back. Let us memorialize it for you, so you can relive it with your grandkids forty years later. Our photos and films capture every moment and will be passed down to your future generations. And anyone that won’t be able to attend your wedding will be able to take part through your wedding photos and video.

Hello! I'm Rachael. I'm a wife, mom and nerd extraordinaire. I love chasing my young sons around, everything Disney and Star Wars, and (of course) photography. Wedding photography is what feeds my Soul. I love the overwhelming joy that weddings bring out in people, and the details that have been so meticulously planned. You’ve poured so much time, effort and love into this day, and I love being able to help you keep the memory forever!

Hi I'm Kiley! I am the proud mama of two young children, a rescued dog and two rescued cats, and I am grateful to be married to my best friend. I love the outdoors, cycling, yoga, strong coffee, cheesy romantic comedies, folk & bluegrass music, and great vegan food.

Forget tradition. Screw the rules. You deserve photos that reflect your life, personality, and style, not some cookie-cutter session that looks like everyone else's. My name is Daniela (she/her). I'm a plus size, super tall queer. I'm detailed and organized, but am laid-back and will pivot quickly to adapt to changing circumstances. I believe in equity and inclusiveness of all loves, body types, and beings.  My favorite movie is Nightmare Before Christmas, I regularly rate dogs' butts, and I believe the highest compliment is being called "scrappy." 

Easy-going, experienced, and with a camera always at the ready—I’m all about capturing the real moments, the big emotions, and the little details that matter most. From candid laughs to timeless portraits, I bring a calm, fun energy to every wedding day.

Hello! I'm Kendra, the face behind Kendi Photos. My style of wedding photography is a mix of candid and formal shots, ensuring a diverse array of photos in your gallery.

I edit on the side of bright and true to color, enhancing photos without changing the entire vibe. I serve the Pacific Northwest and am based out of the Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR areas.

I create joyful, authentic & bright imagery– capturing what’s uniquely yours! Rooted in my love of nature, my editing style is true-to-color & true-to-the-moment, with the purpose of bringing you right back to the best day of life, all over again, for years to come!

Hey I'm Liz! I've been in business as a wedding and portrait photographer since 2015, and have had a camera in my hand since the days before digital. After nine years in the industry my brain is absolutely full of specific knowledge I can only use for weddings, so please please use me as a resource. I live outside Portland with my Husband, kids, dog and cat. In my free time you can find me at a Mexican restaurant, a Movie Theater, or in any body of water.

Based in the PNW, I'm a seasoned photographer with 17+ years crafting love stories through weddings and portraits. Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do."

Hey, I'm Emily! A natural light photographer based in Portland Oregon who specializes in true-to-color edits and authentic captures. Like many photogs out there, I picked up a camera really young and haven’t put it down since. I never wanted to forget parts of my childhood and young adulthood, so it became second nature for me to document the things I loved with photographs in a very real and candid way. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t feel luckier that this hobby became a career focused on preserving life’s most precious moments for others. Who will be the girl behind the camera hyping you up while capturing some authentic moments?

I was born and raised in Hawaii, though every road has led me to finding my forever home in Oregon. As a photographer, my greatest joy is in capturing lovers and families, and human connection. I am so privileged to have captured so many milestones for so many incredible humans and stories, and I’m stoked to keep going. As your forever ally and friend first and foremost, I strive to contribute in promoting diversity and equality in my work. I will do my all to ensure my creative process occurs in spaces that feel safe, respectful and full of love.
