Revealing the beauty in our everyday lives, allowing it to be felt years beyond a captured moment.

Our lives are filled with special moments, many of which are too small to be noticed or stick with us for long. I believe in capturing these memories, freezing them in time so that we can remember how incredible our lives truly are.

About Briana Morrison Photography

Briana
Owner & photographer

I find inspiration in the connections between people, the natural world that surrounds us, and artful objects - especially architecture, fashion, and well designed home goods. I feed my inner artist by immersing myself in craft, discovery, and piles and piles of books. When I'm not at work you'll most likely find me snuggling with my fur babies - Thistle, Ash, & Poppy.

Andrew
photographer

Andrew (my husband) is my greatest supporter and has been with me since the very beginning of my professional photography journey. His most absorbing interests include board games (and D&D), fantasy + sci-fi novels, and spending time with friends and family. He loves whisky, Scotland, and any good meal he doesn't have to think about.

Our Values

Slow-Living & Mindfulness

In creating a heightened sensitivity to life’s unnoticed moments, we capture beauty, affirm the present moment and witness the individual or relationships before us.

Honoring Mother Earth

With an appreciation for the resources we are given, we create lasting, quality heirlooms and aim for less waste in the ways we gather and dress.

Crafting Heirlooms

By documenting and beautifully displaying our photos we remember that our everyday lives hold beauty and joy. Our modern heirlooms are made to last for generations.

Capturing Moments with Artful Integrity

We are in love with the candid moment and honoring the story in front of us. Validating and celebrating you in an honest way which accepts your present state.

Intentional & Organized

We craft a refined process that is grounding, collaborative, and thorough so you can show up with a calm and present mindset.

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.
