Oregon Wedding Photographer & Videographer

OREGON • PORTLAND - EUGENE - BEND

Have the best day of your life. Relive it for the next forty years  in photographs and film.

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration – a day when all your best friends and family come together in one place.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You've scrolled a hundred photographer portfolios, and they've started to blur together — pretty, but would any of it feel like you?

You love the idea of candid, unposed photos. You also have no idea what to do with your hands.

Everyone you love, in one room, for one day — and you want to actually be there for it, not manage it.

You won't get these moments back — so we make sure you never have to.

With both professional photography and cinematic videography handled by one team, you’ll be able to relive your wedding day over and over – and even share it with your future children and grandchildren decades from now

The Engagement Session Promise

Choosing a photographer from a website is nearly impossible — there are hundreds of good ones, and they all look the same on a screen. So don't choose from a website. Come shoot with us first, at no cost. If you don't love your engagement photos, don't hire us for the wedding. No invoice, no hard feelings, no follow-up pressure.

Every couple who has taken us up on this has booked the wedding. We're not worried either.

All-In-One Convenience

Hiring us means one coordinated team handling both photo and video. That’s fewer vendors to manage and a cohesive style across your wedding gallery and film.

Book photography and film together and you save $1,000 — and your engagement session is included.

One team means one contract, one timeline, and one consistent style — and because one team genuinely costs less to run, booking both puts $1,000 back in your budget. Your engagement session comes with it.

How this works

  1. Check your date. Tell us when and where — we'll send the full pricing and availability guide within two business days.
  2. Meet us first. A consultation or your engagement session, so you know exactly how it feels to have us around before you commit to anything.
  3. Live your wedding. We’ll handle capturing it.

Hi, I'm J.D.

— the teacher-turned-videographer-and-photographer behind Wildwood Wedding Films & Photography. Since 2019 I've captured 150+ weddings across Oregon, Washington, and California, and before that I spent my career in classrooms from Texas to the Bronx — which is why nothing on your wedding day will rattle me. When I'm not filming, I'm belaying my twin daughters at the climbing gym. I'd love to hear what you're planning.

Explore Oregon weddings by place

We’re based in Oregon and love traveling throughout our beautiful state (and the greater Pacific Northwest and California).

From a Portland ballroom to the pines at Mt. Hood to a San Diego coastline — the venue changes, the keeping doesn't.

Let’s make it happen. Contact us to check our availability for your Oregon wedding, get your detailed pricing guide, and see how we can help tell your unique love story.

Don't choose us from a website. Come shoot with us first, at no cost. Love your engagement photos, or don't book us for the wedding — no invoice, no hard feelings.

It’s hard to know who to choose. Try us out in an engagement session at no cost. Don’t like your engagement photos? Don’t hire us for your wedding! We’re not worried because everyone who has taken us up on this offer has hired us for their wedding.

One team for both means fewer vendors to manage, one timeline, and one look across your gallery and your film. We’ll help you plan your wedding so that you get the photos and videos you deserve.

Included engagement photography to help you understand what your wedding day will feel like. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Tell us your date, your venue, and what you're dreaming of. We'll send the full pricing and availability guide to your inbox within two days — real numbers, no "starting at" games. Then, if it feels right, your engagement session is the next step.

Photography, film, or both—we’ll tailor the conversation to your day.

We're not the cheapest studio in Oregon, and we won't pretend to be. Investment starts at $4,000 for photography and $7,000 for photography and videography. You're trusting us with the one day that can't be re-shot — that's where the money goes.

No two of the 150+ weddings we've filmed look alike — because no two couples are. Your colors, your florals, your people: the film is built from what was actually there.

A cinematic treasure you’ll watch with your grandkids one day.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration in a Portland ballroom or an intimate ceremony beneath the pines of Mt. Hood, we’ve got you covered. We blend in like a friend with a camera for most of the day (capturing all the organic, unscripted moments) and step up to guide you during portraits. The result? Genuine, documentary-style memories and stunning magazine-worthy images where you look confident and natural – even if you’re camera shy.

Heirloom Films with Interviews: Our highlight films aren’t just pretty videos – they’re family heirlooms. We interview your closest loved ones on camera to capture their stories and well-wishes (after all, you may never have all those friends and family in the same room again).

We’ll capture the one moment you won’t be present for on your wedding day. We’ll let them tell your love story.

If you’re up for it, we love interviewing couples, to learn how their love has changed them.

Because we shoot hybrid, we never point two identical cameras at the same moment. While one of us covers the details on photo and video at once, another is free to sit down with your Maid of Honor.

Then we weave those interviews together with your vows, toasts, and candid moments to tell your story. The final film is a cinematic treasure you’ll watch with your grandkids one day.

What Makes Wildwood Unique

Expert Photography & Retouching

You deserve to look amazing in your photos. We provide full-day coverage in a documentary-meets-editorial style – for most of the day you won’t even notice our cameras, and when it’s portrait time, we’ll be your personal hype team.

Worried about posing? Don’t be. We teach you how to pose and look confident (no more wondering “Where do my hands go?”). Every image is then professionally retouched so you look your absolute best.

We use a hybrid style mixing candid documentary with elegant editorial. Some moments deserve a hands off approach, while others, like golden hour portraits, need a hands-on approach. Camera shy? Not used to having your photos taken? Great!

Camera-shy? Good — our whole approach was built for you. We'll show you where your hands go, then mostly let you forget we're there.

We offer true to life editing and retouching. The sun often causes a blemish or two, and we’ll fix them. Stain on your dress mid-day? We’ll remove it. As far as editing style, our main rule is we keep your white dress white and have color that’s representative of the day.

We edit to your preferences: we’re not set in our ways! Some brides want a retouched aesthetic and some want a more minimal documentary edit: we’ll ask for your preferences and edit the way you want! Want more black and white images? Just ask! We’ll adjust the amount of retouching based on your preferences.

With over 150 weddings and 50+ five star reviews, you can trust us with your wedding day

Drone Coverage for Epic Shots

The drone goes up, and suddenly your gallery has the Oregon Coast in it — or the Gorge cliffs, or the vineyard rows. The place you chose becomes part of the record. It's included, not an add-on.

150+ weddings. 50+ five-star reviews. Awards from The Knot and WeddingWire.

We’ve been trusted by couples for weddings big and small, from elegant city celebrations in Portland to luxury destination events in San Diego and beyond. We put in the time to make your wedding exceptional because we know you can’t do this again – it’s a lifetime investment.

They’re your photos! We give you full download, editing, and printing rights on all of your photographs. We do not charge or restrict your ability to download. We deliver in a Pixieset gallery and on Dropbox. Our gallery allows you to easily order physical prints right to your home. Want to create a collage and have it printed at your local print shop? Go for it!
