My most favorite thing to do in this world is to laugh and have fun. I enjoy bringing that joy to people’s pictures. I really love to capture the moments in life. Whether that moment is being serious, being romantic, having fun or being silly etc. I want to capture what you are all about and go from there. I will do posed shots but also love all the stuff in between. I will definitely give you direction, I am very vocal, so you won’t have to worry about that lol. I hope this helps you get to know a little about me behind the lens. It’s not about me anyways, it’s about you right?!

Working with K See Images was an absolute delight from start to finish. Casey's fun, engaging, and intuitive communication style put us at ease and helped capture the authentic, enchanting, and organic moments of our wedding day. She came prepared for any weather, even providing umbrellas for the whole bridal party when the skies opened up. Casey has a true artist's eye, effortlessly breaking even the most nervous and stoic guests out of their shell to create stunning, vibrant photos that we'll treasure forever. We can't wait to continue working with Casey for all of our future milestones and family moments - she's a true gem!

Ashleigh was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer for our October wedding in Ashland, Oregon! We’re both a little camera-shy, but she made us feel comfortable and made the process way more fun than we ever expected.

I’m Sam, a TEDx speaker, author, native Oregonian, and adventure elopement expert. And I regret my wedding. Oooof, right? I cried on my wedding day. They weren’t happy tears, either. Let me tell you my story. I had a day that wasn’t really about the connection I had with my husband. It wasn’t about who we were as people and about the things we loved. It wasn’t “us”. Imagine having an adventure elopement day that includes whatever floats your boat. Whether it’s adrenaline-packed, laughter-filled, chill vibes, or all of the above. Then add in a kickass connection between you & your partner that’s enabled by dedicating that day TO YOU.

Awarded Best of Zola
Magical, Fairytale, Epic these are all words we heard after revealing the stunning images Sam captured for us. These are also words that describe Sam and the experiences she helps create for you. From the very first time we spoke with her on the phone a quick getting to know you call had turned into 2 hours of friendship, excitement and day dreaming about our wedding. We knew right away we wanted to work with her. We could tell how passionate and invested she is about her work and clients (who quickly turn into friends). Not only does she bring this amazing passion and excitement to your photos but she also lives it everyday and encourages you to do the same. We reached out to Sam because of her incredible work but fell in love with her personality. Not knowing what to expect we put our hands and faith in her and had the adventure of a lifetime. We were so comfortable and carefree there was nothing to worry about. Our focus was on each other, we were able to enjoy a day designed around everything we love as a couple all with Sam's help and guidance. Her endless resources, open communication, and recommendations led us to our most memorable day and the gallery/album reveals allow us to relive it as often as we like. She is truly a magnificent person and her talent goes beyond the photography (although you should see her snapping from the back of a horse or in a kayak mid-ocean). The Elope Your Life experience is more than just photos and if you're looking for an epic experience this is it.

Victoria is an amazing photographer to work with! I found her on relatively short notice for my proposal (she said yes!) and had to change my plans due to inclement weather, to which Vic was flexible enough to accommodate.

Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️

As an artist in the 21st century, I am overwhelmed by all that we cannot trust. The landscapes are edited, the portraits are airbrushed, and the legitimacy of what we see on social media is anyone's guess. That's why it is my passion and life pursuit to capture our most precious things in life - our loves, our families, our unrepeatable moments - in the most true-to-life and timeless way possible. I live for the unguarded moments that take our breath away. If you want to capture this time in your life in all its perfect authenticity, it's my job and my joy to capture the soul of these things for you to hold in time forever.

Eliza is an amazing photographer and such a joy to work with! I’m naturally awkward and pretty camera-shy, but she has such a warm, calming presence that made us feel completely at ease and it was all so much fun! My husband and I eloped at Whidbey Island last month, and Eliza went above and beyond to capture us just as we are—giggly, in love, and fully in the moment. From the start, she was incredibly thoughtful. During our first phone call, Eliza gave us helpful advice and suggested locations that fit what we were looking for. Since we weren’t from the area (we're from Austin, Texas), her suggestions were so appreciated! We ended up choosing Ebey’s Landing based on her recommendation, and it was absolutely stunning. The short hike to the spot was totally worth it for the breathtaking views! The photos Eliza took are incredible—better than anything we could have imagined. They look like something out of a romantic gothic novel, and we can’t stop looking at them! Her attention to detail really stood out too. When she delivered the photos, she also mailed us an engraved flash drive and a handwritten note in a beautiful case. It was such a thoughtful touch! We’ll treasure these photos forever, and we’re so grateful to Eliza for capturing such special memories. If you’re looking for a photographer, I can’t recommend her enough—you’ll be in great hands!

Hi there! I'm Hannah! I'm an adventurer at heart- I love backpacking and exploring Oregon. I'm one of the rare people that is actually from Bend - but I started my photography career in New York City capturing events for Central Park. I met my husband, convinced him we were Oregonians at heart and moved back! My philosophy for photography is that when you look at your photos a few week after your wedding you think not only about how amazing you look- but how natural & wonderful you felt. How many moments were captured that you never even realized. That you cannot wait to frame them & put them on your walls!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Hannah, not only does she take fantastic photos, but she is professional, knowledgeable, kind, fun, prepared, helpful, plus she works well with family and friends, dogs, kids, and all other vendors. She had sneak peaks turned around to us in about a week and all 1300 photos from our multi-day wedding back to us within a month. If you are looking for a great wedding photographer, engagement photographer, or family photographer, you should definitely consider Hannah!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.
