PORTLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi I'm Briana

Wedding Artistry for Intentional, Design-Minded Couples

I photograph a limited number of weddings each year for couples who value intention, craft, and enduring beauty. From immersive wedding weekends to intimate, thoughtfully curated celebrations, my work is rooted in quiet observation and refined direction. Each commission is designed with legacy in mind—resulting in heirloom albums and artwork that preserve not only how your day looked, but how it lived and moved. The experience is steady, intentional, and deeply considered from beginning to end.

Weddings & Elopements

Your wedding is a thoughtfully designed celebration of your love, and my role is to document it with clarity, intention, and restraint. You move through the day fully immersed in the experience—present with one another and the people who matter most—while I quietly shape and preserve each moment with an artful eye. The result is imagery that feels natural yet refined, guided yet effortless, and deeply reflective of both your story and your surroundings.

Kind Words

"Briana’s photos of our wedding are an absolute treasure. They are so beautiful, so human."

They capture the spirit of the day in an incredible way! The lighting & colors are amazing - but I am most impressed with her framing & ability to find & capture special moments. It is so fun to look through them & see so many of our favorite people captured so beautifully!

Portland Wedding Photographer

How It All Began


I began studying photography in high school, quickly drawn to the discipline of black and white film. That early immersion led me to earn a degree in fine art photography, spending countless hours in the darkroom refining both craft and perspective. Film remains foundational to my work today.


I photographed my first wedding in 2008 while still in college, marking the beginning of what would become a long-standing career as a wedding photographer. From the start, I was captivated by the ability to document a celebration as both narrative and art — preserving not only events, but atmosphere and emotion.


In 2013, I became a Portland wedding photographer, inspired by the city’s layered architecture, shifting weather, and natural landscapes. From the bridges along the Willamette River to the quiet trails of Forest Park and the changing light over Laurelhurst Park, Portland’s environment continues to shape my eye for composition and mood.


With over seventeen years of experience photographing weddings, I approach each celebration with seasoned perspective and refined intention. My couples receive both film and digital photography coverage, along with thoughtful timeline design that centers their priorities and the way they want their day to feel. The experience is calm, organized, and carefully considered — allowing you to move through your wedding with confidence and presence.

general inquiries

The first time I visited the Pantheon in Rome it was on accident. I stumbled across a colossal building while wandering the alleys and piazzas and figured I should check it out. 

There was no line, no tickets, no crowd. The entire experience felt a little surreal. 

Ten years later I visit again and now you need tickets to get inside. The sea of people out front is dense with tour guides and panhandling. A little of that magic stolen away.

So the trick is, for the exterior anyway, to visit at dawn. Catch this beauty before the crowds wake up, while the sun stretches over the rooftops to light up the solid marble pillars in golden light. 

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, or honeymoon in Rome, Italy I’d be honored to be your guide and photographer. I can bring you to all the best views and historic locations and know of an excellent private tour guide who can share the history of these beautiful places.

Looking through my archives and updating some older articles this week. I’ve been photographing weddings for 16 years. 16 YEARS! 

This little introvert has grown so much as an artist, business woman, and human in that time.

I love my work so much more deeply than I ever thought possible. 

Anywho, I hope you’re having a great Thursday. Hit me up if you need a wedding photographer! ☺️
