Oregon Wedding Photographer Based in Portland, or since 2013

Weddings & Elopements

You've thought about every detail. The venue, the flowers, the way you want the whole weekend to feel. What you need now is someone who shows up already knowing what's most important to you and spends the day making art from ordinary moments.

 

I document full wedding days and full wedding weekends for couples who want a record of their complete story. The getting ready, the ceremony, the reception, the welcome dinner the night before and the hike through the forest the morning after. Whether you're getting married in the Columbia River Gorge, along the Oregon coast, in the heart of the Willamette Valley, or right here in Portland — I know these places well and I love them deeply.

 

My approach is documentary at its core, loose and editorial when it comes to portraits, and always true to life color. Film alongside digital at every wedding. The result is a gallery that feels like your day actually looked.

You might be exactly who I'm looking for.

You want your wedding to feel considered, not choreographed. A celebration with the people you love most, not a production. You've spent months making intentional choices and you're not about to stop now. You care about the details: the table linens, the florals, the way the light shines on your ceremony. And you also care deeply about putting all of that down and just being there.

 

You're not looking for someone who poses you into perfection. You want someone who watches, who notices, who catches the moment your person looks at you when they think no one is paying attention. You want to pull your album off the shelf ten years from now and feel it all over again.

 

You want photographs that look like your life. True to color, honest, warm. Something you'll frame, something you'll print, something your kids will find someday and understand something true about who you were on this day.

 

If that sounds like you, I think we're going to work really well together.

The Experience

01

The Beginning

Once you inquire, we'll start with a real conversation about your day — how you want it to feel, what matters most, and what you want to remember. From there, your date is reserved and we get to work. I'll design a photography timeline that fits the natural rhythm of your celebration, and collaborate closely with your planner to make sure the day flows the way you envisioned it. By the time your wedding arrives, everything is already figured out. You won't have to think about me once. You just get to be there.

The wedding day

Today is your celebration. You remain fully immersed while we move through the day with intention and a steady artistic instinct. When gentle direction is needed, it is offered with ease — otherwise, we allow the moments to unfold naturally, preserving the atmosphere, movement, and emotion as they truly are.

delivery & heirlooms

Within the first week you'll receive a curated sneak peek of your celebration. Your full gallery arrives within six to eight weeks, thoughtfully edited and delivered in a beautiful online gallery. Each wedding is approached with legacy in mind, resulting in heirloom albums crafted to preserve your story beyond the screen. A full print catalog is available for fine art prints and custom pieces, so your photographs can live beautifully within your home.

Kind Words

"Briana’s photos are very honest, they really captured the feeling of the day for us."

"3 years have passed since our wedding day and I still think about what an incredible job Bria did. Of course, Bria delivered absolutely gorgeous and artistic photos, as all talented wedding photographers do. But something I appreciate more and more looking back that sets her apart is that Bria’s photos are also very honest — they really captured the “feeling” of that day for us.

 

Through her photojournalistic lens, many intimate tears, smiles, spontaneous reactions and interactions were beautifully captured because we had a present, attentive photographer - shots that might easily have gotten missed by someone else."

Wedding Collections & Pricing

Photography is one of the only parts of your wedding you'll have forever. The flowers are composted. The cake is gone. The dress goes into a box. What remains is what was documented — and how it was documented matters.

 

Every wedding is different and my collections are designed to reflect that. Whether you're planning a full weekend celebration or something smaller and more intimate, there's an option built for the way your day is taking shape.

Collectiongs begin at $4,500 but most couples invest between $8,000 - $10,000
Our Collections Include

Up to Two Photographers

Film + Digital Photography

A Fully Curated Gallery
Color + Black & White Edits

Heirloom Wedding Albums
A Fine Art Print Box

The Full Weekend

For the couple who chose their venue for the full experience, not just the ceremony.

 

This collection covers your complete wedding day plus up to five hours the day before and the day after.

 

A welcome dinner, a morning hike, a lazy breakfast with your favorite people still in yesterday's joy.

 

The weekend is the celebration. This collection treats it that way.

The Full Wedding Day

Your wedding day has a rhythm to it and this collection is built to follow it from start to finish.

 

From the quiet of getting ready in the morning to the last song of the night, we're there for all of it.

 

The details you spent months choosing. The second your person sees you and forgets how to speak. The toasts, the tears, the dancing with shoes off at midnight.

Shorter Collections

Not every celebration needs a full day.

 

If you're planning a small and intimate ceremony, a weekday elopement, or simply need a few hours to capture what matters most, there's a collection for that too.

 

The same care, the same film and digital coverage, the same attention to the moments that make your day yours. Just scaled to fit the size of your celebration.

Trusted by couples who value intention, artistry, and legacy.

Briana exceeded our expectations from start to finish. From our engagement shoot in Portland to our wedding in Joshua Tree… she knew exactly what to do and captured every moment perfectly. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the photos. They’re timeless and capture the emotions and energy of the day.

We knew that her easy but organized style is what we wanted on our wedding day… Briana and Andrew showed up communicative, organized, and calm… the photos feel authentic to the energy of our wedding and truly capture the vibe of our event and the unique character of our guests.

Elizabeth E.

WOW! They are absolutely spectacular. A great wedding photographer was a top priority for us… Briana was hands down the best. … Our photos are stunning — perfect memories of all of the best parts of our day.

Oregon Wedding Photographer

Film & Digital Wedding Photography

I photographed my first wedding in 2008 and have been based in Oregon since 2013. With 18 years of wedding photography experience, I bring a depth of perspective to every celebration that only comes from doing this work for a long time.

Every wedding day carries its own energy and I want to be a grounding force within it. People feed off the people around them, and on a day when emotions run high, calm matters. I come prepared for every possible outcome, so no matter how the day unfolds, nothing gets missed and nothing feels rushed.

With more than 25 years of film photography experience, I am able to document your wedding day through both film and digital photography. Your photographs will tell a story that is nostalgic, true, and full of joy.

I find inspiration in community and the connections people build with each other. I focus on honest emotion and those in-between moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Next to community, I find creative inspiration in architecture, Mother Earth, slow fashion, and old treasures.
