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 took my first photography class in high school and was immediately smitten. Black and white film photography was my life for the next few years as I earned my degree in fine art photography and spent hours upon hours in the dark room.

I photographed my first wedding while still in college in 2008 and that marked the beginning of my career as a wedding photographer. I instantly fell in love with the work of telling a story through photography and helping to capture love stories for couples and their families.

In 2013 I moved out of my college town and became a Portland wedding photographer. I immediately fell in love with the Willamette River and her abundant bridges, the towering redwoods of Hoyt Arboretum, the wild trails of Forest Park, and Laurelhurst Park’s misty winter lake. The City of Roses inspires me with her wild weather patterns, sunset skies filled with westward flying crows, expansive foodie scene, and most beautiful seasons.

With 16 years of wedding photography experience I fall more in love with my job every day. Today my couples get all that experience along with both film and digital photography coverage of their wedding. I help them develop photography timelines that focus on their priorities and how they want to feel on their wedding day. I have crafted an intentional and organized experience so that my couples can relax into their wedding day and know they’re in good hands.

If you’re looking for a calm, creative, and committed wedding photographer I’d love to work with you!

From behind the lens to inside the gallery—what an honor to document Mandy Arroyo and her latest show, Tender, now on view at Elle Gallery in Portland through August 24th.

This is our third time working together, and it’s been such a joy to witness her evolution—from designer to full-time painter, and now to exhibiting artist. Mandy paints vibrant local landscapes using acrylics and oil pastels—her work is joyful, vibrant, and full of wonder.

If you’re local, go see it in person. You’ll leave inspired.

Mandy, thank you for trusting me to help share your story. It’s always a gift.

Yesterday felt like a dream. Tippy and Nate’s wedding at Timberline Lodge was one of the most peaceful, joy-filled, and magically timed days I’ve ever had the honor of documenting.

The moment we walked into the getting-ready suite, there were friends napping, someone softly strumming an acoustic guitar, and steamy excerpts being read from a romance novel—pure calm and intention.

The day flowed effortlessly. Family portraits were ahead of schedule, the light was stunning, and every moment felt filled with warmth.

During dinner, Nate casually joined the jazz band on drums (as one does), and then we wandered onto the mountain for the most incredible golden hour portraits. It was slow, cinematic, and absolutely perfect.

Tippy & Nate, thank you for including us in your beautiful wedding at Timberline Lodge. 💕

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.
