Wildwood Wedding Photography – Bold, Authentic, Oregon Love Stories

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event – a day filled with moments you never want to forget . At Wildwood Wedding Films & Photography, we capture those moments in vibrant, timeless images that tell your unique love story. As an award-winning team of Portland wedding photographers , we blend the polished flair of editorial portraiture with the unscripted beauty of documentary-style candids. The result? Stunning wedding photography that bursts with bold color, rich contrast, and genuine emotion in every frame.

Capture Every Moment, Relive It Forever

We believe your photos should bring you right back to the way your day felt. From the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the tearful hugs and uproarious dance-floor laughs, we’ve got you covered. Our approach to Oregon wedding photography is all about storytelling – capturing every moment big and small, so you can relive them with your partner, your friends, and even your grandkids decades from now . We don’t just take pictures; we preserve memories and create an heirloom for your family history.

 

What makes our photography different? We embrace bold, true-to-life colors and dramatic contrast. Your photos will pop with rich hues and clarity – no washed-out filters here. Every image is professionally edited and retouched to look its absolute best, while still feeling authentic to the day. We combine the luxury look of editorial photography (think magazine-worthy portraits where you look amazing) with the realness of documentary shots that capture candid smiles, happy tears, and spontaneous moments. It’s the perfect balance of posed and unposed: you get gorgeous fine-art portraits and an honest record of all the unscripted moments in between.

Feel Comfortable and Confident – We'll Be Your Hype Team

Worried you’re awkward in photos? We hear this all the time – and we’ve made it our mission to erase that worry. At Wildwood, we are your personal hype team. From the moment we meet, we bring positive energy and expertise to get you relaxed and having fun in front of the camera . It’s completely normal to feel nervous being photographed – but our superpower is making you forget the camera is even there. We’ll coach you with easy poses, natural prompts, and plenty of encouragement. By the time we’re shooting, you’ll feel like a confident rockstar couple, glowing with genuine smiles and affection.

 

Our past couples often tell us how comfortable and at ease they felt with us – even the camera-shy grooms end up loving the experience! We take pride in teaching you little tricks to look and feel your best. No stiff, forced poses – just real moments and real joy. With Wildwood, you’ll enjoy your day to the fullest, and trust that we’re capturing you at your most radiant and real.

Serving Portland, Bend, and All of Oregon

Based in Portland, Oregon, Wildwood Wedding Films & Photography proudly serves couples all across our beautiful state (and beyond). Love is an adventure, and we’ll follow you wherever it leads. We frequently photograph weddings in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon’s famed wine country and Willamette Valley vineyards, the majestic Mt. Hood region, Central Oregon destinations like Bend, Black Butte Ranch, and Sisters, and everywhere in between. Whether your celebration is in a downtown Portland venue or atop a mountain at sunset, we’ll be there with cameras in hand.

 

Planning a destination wedding outside of Oregon? No problem – have passport, will travel! Our team has roots throughout the West Coast and we’re excited to travel worldwide to document your love story . Wherever your “wedding photographer near me” search takes you, know that Wildwood offers the same passionate, personalized service whether it’s close to home or across the globe.

What You Can Expect from Wildwood Photography

Experienced, Award-Winning Team: With 6+ years in business and over 60 five-star reviews from couples just like you, we’ve built a reputation as one of Oregon’s top wedding photography teams . (We’ve even won multiple Best of Weddings awards on The Knot and WeddingWire !) You can relax knowing you have trusted professionals documenting your day.

 

Unlimited Hype & Support: We’re more than photographers – consider us honorary bridesmaids/ groomsmen with cameras! We’ll fix your veil, grab you a tissue, corral family for portraits, and cheer you on every step of the way. Our friendly, upbeat presence keeps the day running smoothly and the vibes positive.

 

Editorial + Documentary Style: You get the best of both worlds in your gallery. We’ll guide you through gorgeous editorial-style portraits (think beautifully composed images worthy of a magazine spread). For the rest of the day, we melt into the background to capture documentary candids – the genuine laughter, tears, and candid interactions that make your wedding uniquely yours. When you look through your photos, you’ll see your true selves and all the emotion of the day shining through.

Bold, Vivid Imagery: Our signature editing brings out rich colors and contrast. Your whites will be crisp, your colors will be vibrant, and that golden sunset light will glow. We avoid trendy filters that fade or desaturate; instead, we produce timeless images with depth and life. (Of course, we’re happy to shoot some classic black-and-whites too for that elegant touch.) Every photo is professionally edited and retouched – from smoothing flyaway hairs to removing blemishes – so you both look your very best.

 

Comfortable Posing Guidance: Not a professional model? Perfect – 99% of our couples aren’t! We excel at coaching real people to look natural and radiant on camera. We’ll demonstrate poses, give you fun prompts to get genuine reactions, and know all the little hacks (like where to put your hands!). You’ll never have to wonder “what do I do?” – we’ve got you. The goal is zero awkwardness and photos that feel like you. As one bride said, “nothing felt disingenuous” about the process – it just felt like us having a great time.

All-Inclusive Packages: Every photography collection includes full-resolution edited images, an easy-to-use online gallery for viewing and sharing, and print rights so you can make your own albums or wall art. We also include professional retouching on your portraits and a complimentary consultation to plan out your timeline and shot list. Need a second photographer for extra coverage, additional hours, or an engagement session? We can customize any package to fit your needs. (We often recommend an engagement shoot – not only do you get more beautiful photos, but it’s a fun practice run so you’re even more comfortable on the big day!)

 

Fast Delivery: You won’t be left waiting forever to see your photos. We know you’ll be excited to reminisce, so we deliver your edited wedding gallery lightning-fast – often within just a few weeks. (Sneak peek previews come even sooner to hold you over!) Our efficient workflow and dedicated editing team mean you enjoy your photos while the memories are still fresh.

 

Extra Touches: Want epic aerial shots of your venue or group photos? We offer drone photography for stunning bird’s-eye views of your ceremony site and reception (imagine a gorgeous overhead shot of you two under the sunset!). We’re also experienced with all types of weddings – from large cultural celebrations (yes, we love multicultural weddings, including Indian, Jewish, LGBTQ+ and more) to tiny elopements. Whatever your traditions or plans, we’ll capture it respectfully and beautifully.

Investment – Quality That’s Worth It

We understand that wedding photography is a significant investment – and we truly believe it’s one of the most important you’ll make for your wedding. After all, when the day is over, your photos (and video) are how you’ll revisit those memories for a lifetime. Wildwood’s photography packages start from $450 per hour, with most couples opting for 6–10 hours of coverage. We offer flexible collections that can be tailored to your budget and needs, whether you’re planning an intimate 4-hour celebration or a full-day extravaganza.

 

For a detailed quote, just reach out to us – we’ll create a custom proposal based on your vision. No matter which package you choose, every couple receives the same dedication to quality and storytelling. We also pride ourselves on transparency: no hidden fees, no surprises. Just stunning images and an incredible experience from start to finish.

 

Planning a videographer too? You’re in luck – we also create award-winning wedding films. In fact, we have a whole cinematography team in-house! If you book both photography and videography with Wildwood, we have special combo collections with added value. (For example, many couples snag our photo+video package which currently includes a free engagement photo session and a generous discount on the total .) Having one cohesive team handle both mediums ensures your day runs seamlessly, and you’ll get a beautifully integrated photo & video story. Ask us about our combined packages to learn more.

We were married in Bend, OR winter 2023 and it was an unforgettable day.
