Why Hire a Portland, Oregon Wedding Photographer Who’s Local

Portland weddings come with unique light, weather, venues, and landscapes — and experience here matters.

As a local Oregon wedding photographer, I know:

  • How to work with Portland’s soft, overcast light

  • Hidden photo locations throughout Portland and the surrounding areas

Whether you’re getting married downtown, in Forest Park, at a vineyard, or planning an intimate backyard wedding, I help guide you through locations, timing, and logistics so your photos stay relaxed and beautiful.

You two have your own history, chemistry, and reason you fit together. The small gestures you both make for each other. The silent commitments you make every day for one another and the reassurance that you’re not alone.

That's what I capture.

This is my family.

My husband Shane and I have been married for 3 years. Our son, Scout, is 2.5 years old, and he is the heartbeat of our world.

The most memorable moment on our wedding day was when I looked at my husband and thought, finally, you're mine.

Hi again! I’m Lana, a wedding photographer with 15 years of experience. I photograph with intention, calm and ease. I describe my photos as raw elegance. Photos are edited with rich tones and a subtle boldness.

  • Had a great experience with Lana! She too our engagement photos the day my fiancé proposed. He was able to easily communicate with her and plan the whole day so that she surprised me in the Oregon mountains and following the proposal gave us a wonderful 2-3hour photoshoot. She was sweet, easy to work with and responsive. Photos came out beautifully! We really appreciated her traveling for us and helping us preserve the moments of that special day. Thanks Lana!

I’m not sure where you’re at in your journey to find the perfect photographer for your day, but here’s what I can tell you about me.

I like to think of taking photos as just hanging out with friends. I focus on natural movements and your unique connection. How do you both show love? Sometimes the way you show it is silent, it's an unspoken bond, or maybe you’re never not holding hands.

Whatever it is, I got you.

I want you to feel comfortable, natural, and personal.
