Your wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's one of the few days in your life when nearly everyone you love is gathered in the same place.
I'm a Portland Oregon wedding photographer specializing in candid, documentary-style wedding photography with a timeless, film-inspired feel.
My approach is centered around documenting your wedding as it actually unfolds—the big moments, the quiet ones, the chaos,
the happy tears, your people on the dance floor, and everything you didn't even realize was happening.
I'll step in with direction when you need it, then give you space to actually experience your wedding day.
The result is a gallery that doesn't just show you what your wedding looked like.
PORTLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY THAT FEELS LIKE YOU
You don't need to spend your wedding day posing for photographs.
Some of the images you'll love most will probably happen when you've forgotten I'm there.
Your dad seeing you for the first time.
Your best friend crying during the ceremony.
Your grandparents dancing.
Champagne spilling across the table.
Your partner reaching for your hand.
Your friends losing their minds on the dance floor.
Those are the photographs I'm looking for.
My style combines documentary wedding photography with an editorial, film-inspired aesthetic, creating images that feel emotional, nostalgic, imperfect, and alive.
Because your wedding photographs should feel like memories—not a collection of poses.
What Your Wedding Gallery Will Feel Like
Think:
Windblown hair.
Champagne popping.
Bare feet on the dance floor.
Kids running through the reception.
Your dad trying not to cry.
Your best friend fixing your dress.
Golden Central Oregon light.
Blurry dancing photographs.
Quiet moments you didn't realize anyone noticed.
And portraits that deserve to live on your walls.
Your wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's a story—and I photograph all of it.

WHY CHOOSE WILD PINES
MORE THAN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
01
CANDID, TIMELESS IMAGERY
Your wedding isn't a photoshoot. I blend gentle direction with documentary-style storytelling to create film-inspired photographs that feel natural, nostalgic, and completely like you.
02
THERE FOR EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
The quiet moments while you’re getting ready. Your partner’s reaction when they see you. Champagne with your favorite people. Windblown portraits at sunset and everyone losing it on the dance floor. I’m there to document the big moments—and all the little ones you didn’t even realize were happening.
03
A SESSION THAT FEELS LIKE A DATE
Run down the beach, explore the mountains, bring your dog, pop champagne, or pack a picnic. Forget about posing—we're creating memories while I document everything in between.
04
EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST
With more than 15 years behind the camera, I know when to step in with direction and when to let a moment unfold naturally. You can stay present with the people you love knowing your story is being thoughtfully documented.
MORE THAN JUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHERFilm-Inspired + Documentary Wedding Photography
My work is inspired by the emotion and imperfection of film.
Warm skin tones. Natural movement. Grain. Soft light. Deep shadows. Slightly imperfect frames that somehow end up being your favorites.
Rather than chasing photography trends, I want your wedding photographs to feel like memories.
Images that still feel like you decades from now.
Portland Oregon F.A.Q.
QUESTIONS? I’VE GOT YOU.
Planning a wedding comes with a lot of moving pieces, and your photography shouldn’t add to the stress. From timelines and posing to travel, galleries, and what to expect on your wedding day, I’m here to make the entire experience feel easy. Here are answers to some of the questions I hear most from couples looking for a Portland, Oregon wedding photographer.
-
Wedding photography pricing depends on the length of coverage, location, and what you want documented. My wedding collections are designed to give you plenty of time for the important portraits while leaving room for the candid, unscripted moments that make your wedding uniquely yours.
-
Absolutely. Wild Pines Photography is an inclusive wedding photographer, and all couples and all love stories are welcome here.

Yes! I photograph weddings throughout Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, including Hood River, the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood, Oregon Wine Country, Bend, and the Oregon Coast. I'm also available for destination weddings.
-
Absolutely. Most of my couples tell me this! I'll give you gentle direction when you need it, but I won't force you into stiff poses. My goal is to get you interacting with each other so your photographs feel natural and unmistakably like you.

Wedding galleries are typically delivered within 4–6 weeks, although turnaround can extend to 6–8 weeks during peak wedding season. Every gallery is carefully edited to maintain the timeless, film-inspired look Wild Pines Photography is known for.
-
If you already have your Portland wedding date, I recommend reaching out as soon as possible. Popular Saturdays—especially during Oregon's summer and early fall wedding season—can book well in advance.
-
Start by sending an inquiry with your wedding date, venue, and a little about what you're planning. I'll send over availability and package information, and we'll take it from there.
