Discounted Options
If you've seen a post involving a themed session, it's likely we have an upcoming discounted offer in the events section. Standard sessions are still available for themed sessions, and offer more time, variety, consultation time, and attention to detail. Have a group or community that could all use some awesome imagery? See about setting up your own discounted event day.
Limited TFP sessions are sometimes available for dark and alternative sessions.
Currently, our schedule does not allow additional TFP, but there is a waitlist if our interests align. Reach out and say hello.
Weddings, elopements, engagements, and couples
With over 300 diverse weddings and countless amazing couples I've had the opportunity to create for, we've created a designated website for Portland's own Wedding Photographer Guy.
