We’re Hunter and Lindsey Wickert— a husband-and-wife photography team based in Vancouver, Washington, serving couples across the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is simple: create photographs that feel like your memories. From the shoreline near Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach to snowy trails at the base of Mount St. Helens, forest aisles, and golden fall family sessions, we chase real moments, movement, and connection. We want you to look back and feel it all again— the nerves, the joy, the laughter, and the quiet in-between. Artful, natural, and deeply personal— your story, exactly as it unfolded.

We could not be happier with our wedding photos and experience working with the Wickerts. From the start, they were incredibly inviting, fun, and easy to work with, which made everything feel relaxed and enjoyable. We took engagement photos in the Spring and Wed in September. Both my bride and I can feel awkward in front of a camera, but Lindsey and Hunter did great making us feel comfortable and natural. Nothing felt forced, and that really shows in the photos.They have a great eye for choosing beautiful backdrops and moments without overdoing anything. Having two shooters was a huge plus! They captured both of us getting ready before the ceremony, and during our engagement shoot, it was great having an extra set of hands to help with lighting and setup. We received our digital images surprisingly fast and shared them easily with friends and family. We’re so grateful for our photos and really cool collection pieces we'll cherish for life. We highly recommend the Wickerts' to anyone looking for talented photographers and genuinely fun people to be around.

KNCAPTURES 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves St. Helens, OR

Hi friend!! I'm Karmen. I believe love deserves to be documented with intention, honesty, and care. The kind that feels cinematic but real. Elevated but effortless. I believe your wedding day should feel like you, not a production performed for the camera. The most meaningful images live in the in between. Quiet nerves before the ceremony, hands finding each other without thinking, laughter that spills out when the timeline pauses. Your photos are never about perfection. They are about presence. Thoughtfully guided when needed, and quietly observed when the moment belongs to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Add Karmen to the top of your registry because the photos you get from her are priceless. New plates for the kitchen? Nah. Dog mat for your significant other? Meh. KNCaptures taking photos of your special day? DING DING DING. Amazing photos, amazing human, amazing everything. Book her before your ex books her first out of spite. Wouldn't want him/her to walk away with better photos than you.

No Rules Photography

  • Classic style

Forget tradition. Screw the rules. You deserve photos that reflect your life, personality, and style, not some cookie-cutter session that looks like everyone else's. My name is Daniela (she/her). I'm a plus size, super tall queer. I'm detailed and organized, but am laid-back and will pivot quickly to adapt to changing circumstances. I believe in equity and inclusiveness of all loves, body types, and beings.  My favorite movie is Nightmare Before Christmas, I regularly rate dogs' butts, and I believe the highest compliment is being called "scrappy." 

Awarded Best of Zola
Daniela captured our wedding beautifully. She is a wonderful person to work with. We found her both professional and comfortable to work with. As a plus-size person, I'm always worried about how I will look in pictures. Daniela made us feel at ease and our wedding and engagement pictures are absolutely stunning. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for professional photos.

Hey, I'm Emily! A natural light photographer based in Portland Oregon who specializes in true-to-color edits and authentic captures. Like many photogs out there, I picked up a camera really young and haven’t put it down since. I never wanted to forget parts of my childhood and young adulthood, so it became second nature for me to document the things I loved with photographs in a very real and candid way. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t feel luckier that this hobby became a career focused on preserving life’s most precious moments for others. Who will be the girl behind the camera hyping you up while capturing some authentic moments?

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Simply Wandering Photography for our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Emily captured the most beautiful moments of our special day with perfection. The photos are not just pictures; they are pieces of art that will be cherished for a lifetime. Looking through the photos, it’s as if I’m reliving the most magical moments all over again. The candid shots are heartwarming, and the posed photos are elegant and timeless. I am beyond blessed and I can’t thank Emily enough for their incredible work. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will go the extra mile to make your day unforgettable, look no further!! I highly recommend Simply Wandering Photography for their exceptional talent, professionalism, and passion for what they do. It was an honor being photographed by Emily!

We’re Ann and Kevin, the team behind Pastores Photography — a dual photography team based in Wilsonville, Oregon. Since 2009, we’ve been capturing life’s most meaningful moments through timeless portraiture, with a special passion for wedding photography. Our clients often tell us how comfortable and at ease they feel in front of our cameras. We’re known for our fun yet calming presence, our professionalism, and our dedication to capturing the true essence and vision of each couple’s wedding day — all while making you look and feel your absolute best.

We absolutely loved working with Ann and Kevin from Pastores Photography. From our very first meeting, they were fun, easygoing, and incredibly easy to feel comfortable around - which mattered a lot to us. You spend so much of your wedding day with your photographers, so feeling relaxed and able to be yourself is huge. That comfort is what allows those real, genuine “us” moments to shine through, and they created that space effortlessly. Throughout the planning process, they were so helpful. They partnered with our DJ to align on a detailed schedule they built out, helped us think through photos and moments we hadn’t even considered yet, and created a timeline that made everything feel clear and manageable. Their tag-team dynamic worked perfectly, and they helped keep us calm and grounded all day long. Our photos turned out beautiful - colorful, vibrant, and true to what the day actually looked like. We got married outdoors at The Water Oasis in Newberg during the fall, and they captured the changing leaves, greenery, and our moody fall colors exactly the way we hoped. We’re really glad we chose Ann and Kevin. They’re warm, friendly, professional, and genuinely great to have by your side on your wedding day. We’d absolutely recommend Pastores Photography to anyone looking for photographers who make the experience feel natural and enjoyable from start to finish.

Working with Ashley was such a dream! Her attention to detail and vibes are amazing. We felt a little bit awkward during our engagement photo shoot just because we had not taken professional photos together before and Ashley was able to break the ice and keep us giggling the whole time. Do not question any of the silly things she has you do because your photos will be that much better for it. We would love to work with Ashley again in the future & cannot wait to display her work around our house!

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

I truly can't say how great it was working with Mia for our wedding at Crater Lake. She was professional and fun the entire time and went so far beyond what was required. Frankly she could have doubled her price and I am still unsure if it would have covered all she did for my wife and I. From the extensive lists, scouting out the area, finding the perfect points for the shoot and being nothing but accommodating the entire time. Instead of feeling like the photographer is a hindrance during the day, taking you out of your moments, she felt like she was part of the family and took some truly gorgeous photos. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer or person for my wedding, don't even think about it, if you're looking for someone to capture a moment, I assure you Mia will go above and beyond expectations.

Hello! My name is Dana (pronounced 'Donna') and I was born and raised in Mexico, and now I currently reside in Vancouver, WA with my husband and three fur babies. I love to travel and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and beyond! I am so grateful to be able to photograph couples and families displaying so much fun and love. I primarily shoot couples, maternity & destination weddings, and elopements. When I'm not working behind the camera, you can find me hiking, doing pottery, painting, practicing yoga, playing music, or finding new places to eat.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin this review. If you're like me and weighing/ weighed out 100's of photographers, I hope this post helps put Dana in your top 5 or immediately your number 1 pick. Short version: this sweet woman slipped in cow poo and continued to take our photos until she felt the job was done. Our love was captured in a way we didn't know it could be and we are eternally grateful for her and the experience she provided us. Long version: Dana went above and beyond for mine and my husband's wedding photos. Throughout the process leading up to the big day, she made sure to get to know us as a couple and what we were looking for. She made me feel comfortable enough to text her my never ending questions/requests. She even sent us our printed film photos along with a separate letter with a hand written note after our wedding! When we all finally met at our destination, her and her husband gave us some of their personal travel remedies and I still have some with us for our next trip!! Dana's work in and of itself is catering to the love of a couple. It felt very natural, she didn't force us to stand or sit or look a certain way, unless she could tell we were feeling bashful and needed some direction. She made sure to ask if there were any specific photos we were looking for - which I feel is a small but very big gesture as she was again focusing on us and our wants for the day. Her editing style is very warm and subtle, which I personally adore. My husband and I are very authentic people so having photos of us that felt authentic and raw were very important to us. Another deciding factor in choosing Dana was that her photos make sure to capture the scenery but still highlight and focus on the couple. We had a destination wedding in Switerland and felt this was something that many phoyographers did not do. But consistently in Danas work you can still see the focus on the couple with the scenery used as a compliment to them. She always made sure we were comfortable and that we were ourselves. We talked any chance we got which was an extra bonus as my husband and I both are socially anxious and she always made sure to have something kind or funny to say while making us feel comfortable and accepted by her and her husband. Now I know what you're thinking - how is this above and beyond she just seems really kind hearted. Yes that is one thing that was very important to us for our big day, having a team working for us, and with us, that focused on us and our needs, rather than their own. With that being said, this sweet woman literally did a summersault while slipping in cow poo on the side of a Swiss hill and continued to take our photos. Even after we pressed to go back to the hotel - of course we did after about another 15 minutes of photos. Now I can promise you I've heard a lot of things about wedding photographers, but I have never heard of one so dedicated to their work and clients to slip in poo and continue to do their work until they felt the job was done. Again Dana we cannot thank you enough for what you have gifted us with. To have our special moments captured for eternity is the greatest thing, and to actually love and adore these photos as well as the relationship you worked so hard to cultivate with us is the cherry on top. Thank you again for capturing our love.

I had the best experience with our wedding photographer, Erin. From our very first phone call, she was so helpful and patient, answering every question I threw at her. She even worked with me on flexible payment arrangements, which I appreciated so much during the craziness of wedding planning. On the wedding day, she showed up in boots (as I had suggested to her) and climbed into the mountain on our property to get the perfect shots on these huge boulders with 150 foot trees behind us. She was fun, easy to be around, and made everything feel comfortable and natural. When we got our photos back, we were very happy. They were gorgeous — and she even edited more photos than she originally promised. It felt like such a thoughtful bonus. If you want someone who’s down-to-earth, hardworking, and talented, I highly recommend her. We’re so grateful she was part of our day.

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!
