Your Questions, Answered from a Portland, Oregon Wedding and Family Photographer
-
I offer wedding packages that range from elopements and micro weddings to larger weddings with a bigger guest list and second shooter!
I also offer family, branding, and senior sessions! I love being able to offer it all because I love it all! I love connecting with all different groups of people and I find it the most fulfilling work to be able to work with different groups.
-
I take on a documentary and candid approach. I love to document moments that aren’t planned or posed and that keep taking you back to your wedding day. I do some posed photos throughout the day because I know those are important, those can include family, bridal party, some of the couple portraits etc.
I really lean into allowing the day to unfold and capturing it the way it is because those photos will feel the most authentic to your day!

I usually will recommend adding a second shooting for the bigger weddings that may have an indoor and outdoor space and a cocktail hour. This is the ensure that we get all the shots! If there is a cocktail hour they would be the one the walk around and capture those candid moments while I focus on couple, family, bridal party portraits.

Yes I do travel! I have slowed down a little bit within the past couple of years and stay in Oregon and Washington, but would LOVE to travel to you if the fit is right for both of us! I will usually not add on a travel fee if the wedding is within a couple of hours just beause Oregon is a huge state and being a Wedding Photographer does require some travel. If I am traveling farther than that I will factor in gas, time and food, so it is all dependent on the location and the timing!
-
Yes I work with my couples to make sure the package that you are choosing is right for you! I have my standard packages, but am always willing to make adjustments based on the needs of the couples! Every Wedding and celebrating looks different for every couple and family!

I always ask for a shot list before the wedding specifically for family photos. This ensures that we can get through them and know who is going to be in them! We usually will do them before the ceremony if everyone is there and ready or I will ask the family that are going to be in the photos to stay after the ceremony so we can just do them there.
