Your wedding isn't a photoshoot.

It's your dad trying not to cry. Your best friend fixing your dress five minutes before the ceremony. Champagne spraying everywhere. Windblown hair. People you love packed onto a dance floor. The quiet look between the two of you when nobody else is paying attention.

Those are the photographs I want you to have forever.

I'm Lana, the photographer behind Wild Pines Photography. As a Portland wedding photographer, I document wedding days with a candid, documentary approach while creating timeless portraits that still deserve a place on your walls.

More about me

Portland Wedding Photography That Feels Like You

You don't need to spend your wedding day posing for photographs.

I'll step in when you need direction, find beautiful light, help keep portraits moving, and make sure we get the photographs that matter. But when the real moments start happening, I step back and let them happen.

The laughter. The nerves. The tears. The chaos. The dancing. The people you love.

My approach to Portland wedding photography combines documentary storytelling, candid moments, movement and a nostalgic, film-inspired aesthetic.

The result is a wedding gallery that doesn't just show you what your wedding looked like.

It reminds you exactly how it felt.

What Your Wedding Gallery Will Feel Like

Think:

Windblown hair.

Champagne popping.

Your mom helping you get dressed.

Your dad trying not to cry.

Your best friend fixing your veil.

Rain showing up when nobody planned for it.

Kids running through the reception.

Blurry dance-floor 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.

Getting Married in Portland, Oregon?

Portland is one of my favorite places to photograph weddings because you don't have to choose between the city and the outdoors.

You can celebrate in the heart of Portland, exchange vows surrounded by evergreens, wander through a garden for portraits, or head toward the Columbia River Gorge or Mount Hood for some of the most beautiful scenery in Oregon.

I photograph weddings throughout Downtown Portland, the Pearl District, Northwest Portland and the greater Portland area, as well as weddings throughout Mount Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, Hood River and Northwest Oregon.

Whether you're planning a modern city wedding, an intimate forest ceremony, a backyard celebration or a full wedding weekend, your photography should feel like your wedding—not somebody else's Pinterest board.

Portland Wedding Venues & Locations

Portland has an incredible variety of wedding locations, from modern industrial spaces and historic buildings to gardens, forests and intimate outdoor venues.

Some of the Portland areas and wedding locations couples consider include Hoyt Arboretum, Washington Park, Downtown Portland, the Pearl District and Portland's Central Eastside, with even more options throughout the Columbia River Gorge and toward Mount Hood.

Wherever you choose to celebrate, I'll photograph both the big moments and everything happening around them—the details you planned for months and the moments you never could have planned.

Hi - I’m Lana. I started photography with film, and that influence still runs through the way I photograph weddings.

I'm drawn to movement, grain, emotion, imperfect compositions, and photographs that feel alive.

You won't spend your entire wedding staring at my camera.

Instead, I'll document what's actually happening around you while stepping in with direction when it's helpful.

Because twenty years from now, the photographs that matter most might not be the perfectly posed ones.

They might be the photograph of your grandmother laughing during dinner, your friends screaming the lyrics to a song, or your partner looking at you when they thought nobody was watching.

MORE THAN JUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Film-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.
