We would absolutely recommend Danielle to capture your wedding day, especially if you are having…read moreyour wedding at Nestldown. She was highly professional, was easy to communicate with, and knew exactly what she was doing on the wedding day. Her attention to detail was abundant in the way she looked for the perfect lighting, in the timing to keep everything on schedule, and in her experience in finding all the perfect photo spots around Nestldown. She was also amazing at working with and around all our other vendors. We watched her work perfectly in tandem with Daniel Bowen from Matter Video, as they were able to help each other get the perfect shots for both the videos and the photos. Danielle is experienced and knows what she's doing. She has an eye for beautiful pictures and the experience to make the vision come to life. We would highly recommend choosing her as your wedding photographer. -Nickie & Jonathan, June 2025

Danielle is amazing in every way and her photos are incredible! We had the best time during our…read moreengagement shoot and we are in love with our photos. My fiancé and I do not have a lot of experience being photographed and we were pretty nervous. Her calm and relaxed demeanor helped us loosen up and be ourselves, it was such a fun bonding experience for us. She helped us with poses, giving us gentle direction so that we felt comfortable and confident. We received our photos quickly after the session and seeing what she captured brought tears to my eyes. The photos are gorgeous and really captured our love and laughter. In addition to our engagement photos, she also took some family photos of us and our dogs. She was patient, flexible, and creative with us and our senior dogs who don't love being photographed. She captured all of us in a beautiful way and we will cherish the photos forever. I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful Danielle is in every way. We will truly cherish these photos and the memories we made while taking them. Thank you, Danielle

It's hard to put into words what an important part of our day Ely was. We hired Ely for our…read morebackpacking elopement on Broken Top and he more than rose to the occasion. My husband (!!) and I have never had professional photos done and are not incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. Ely set us at ease and made us feel like we were spending the day with a friend. By the end of the day, he had us posing like pros! Ely directed our day and created structure like a true professional, but was ever-present for spontaneous moments. I truly can't imagine the day without him. He will absolutely be our go-to photographer for any future needs. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ely! You are the best of the best!

I just couldn't wait to post them to share online. Oh, and before that, we got the video of their wedding, put together by the bride, so we got a little peak of what to expect! I've already posted the 'day before wedding and the goodbye to Bend brunch', so there's 2 part to my album. Thank you so much, for making everyone LOOK GOOD, comfortable, and had a good time, on that special day!

I will begin by saying how pleased and happy I am with the bridal portrait photos Jess created with…read moreme. The photos are simply stunning. Every step of the process was smooth, every communication was very professional and prompt. Jess worked with me to make my vision of romantic, artistic and timeless bridal portraits a reality. I had several ideas that Jess was very receptive to, and she easily worked them into our session. We also had plenty of time during the photo shoot to work with Jess' ideas and her expert eye, and many of her ideas ended up creating some of my favorite images. The photo shoot itself was super fun. I really enjoyed working with Jess and quickly felt comfortable. The whole experience was simply such a special treat for me. I really could not be happier with the entire process and my awesome photos.Thank you Jess! Just for clarity, this was a one on one photo session between me and Jess to capture my fantasy bridal portraits that proved impossible to get on my wedding day ( your wedding day is a very busy day! )

If you are looking for a great photographer who will listen to exactly what you want and then take…read morethose ideas to the next level, Jess is the person you should hire immediately. We hired Jess for our wedding and engagement photos, and we could not be happier with her work. We are out-of-towners, but with Jess that didn't matter. She worked with us via email as if we were locals and scouted out a great location for our engagement shoot. When it came time for the wedding, she arrived early, stayed late, was so much fun, and took hundreds of great photos which she then edited and turned around so quickly, we had all of our photos within a week of the event! Not to mention she made us and our guests feel so comfortable, she was always there for the big moments but not in the way, never distracted us, all of the pictures turned out so natural. Not to mention her rates are extremely reasonable, she goes out of her way for consultations and meet-ups, and she fit right in with our group! Do yourself a favor and reach out to her for any of your photography needs. Thanks Jess!

Tim and Caitlin of Gallivan Photo are as good as it gets. They not only were extremely flexible…read morefor our elopement but their calm yet energetic attitude made our day smooth and stress-free. We adored working with them and the photos that we received were spectacular. They added unique touches that went above and beyond our expectations and really made our day special. I would recommend them for ANY event, whether it wedding, engagement or lifestyle and family. They are true professionals and we were very lucky to find them.

We booked Gallivan for our wedding at Brasada in November and from the moment we met them on…read moreFaceTime (we were coming from Portland), we knew they were perfect. They are down to earth, approachable, genuine, hilarious and made us feel totally at ease. They offered direction when needed, but the rest of the time let us do our thing and captured the most genuine special moments. In retrospect, for our wedding, we asked them to capture photos in every light/background and the whole album was INCREDIBLE - we did our first look at Smith Rock and the photos/background were STUNNING. Family photos in 30-degree weather, everyone looked great. Our ceremony was at sunset with the sun setting behind us and they captured the most PERFECT lighting. And of course, the pics captured during reception indoors later were just GORGEOUS. Oh and we did our engagement photos in front of the Portland cityscape on an overcast rainy day and they were so cool! So, Gallivan does it all, and they do it while being the kindest couple of photographers you'll ever meet.

Olesya made our annual Summer trip special this year. She was professional and prepared. We got a…read morenumber of different shots in various styles for an amazing price. It was nice to take an hour out of our day and freeze our memories for later viewing pleasure. She is the perfect sort of a professional photographer (do this with your arm, not that; stand this way; look there) blended with a carefree attitude to let you run around and create some of your own action shots. I was highly impressed by her her on the day of the shoot. Once we got the photos back I was even more amazed at her talent. If you are looking for the perfect person to capture your special moments I suggest you get an appointment with her right away.

Her enthusiasm and energy were through the roof! She made us laugh and feel at ease. I had sent her a couple of pictures I had in my mind for our Xmas cards photo session and she helped me pick a good location. Her correspondence with me leading up to the shoot was very helpful and informative. There was also a very quick turn-around time for when we got our Xmas cards. Some of the pictures were so good that I even ordered canvas prints and they will be going in our new house!

Choosing a wedding day photographer and videographer is a huge decision, that I am so happy I never…read morehave to make again. There are so many good options out there, especially in the PNW. But Tony is one of the best, and you won't go wrong hiring him and his team! We hired Tony for both our photos and wedding video, and were blown away by both. His team was super outgoing and fun to be around, and never felt like they were in the way. They were just there capturing the day. We told Tony that we didn't want a lot of really posed photos and that is exactly what we got, and then some. I'm so grateful to have all of the memories captured so beautifully..especially since the day is over in the blink of an eye. We can't wait to look at our photos and watch our video for the 50+ more years we hope to be married. Thank you Tony and team for the gift you have given us!

Tony and his team photographed our wedding a couple weeks ago and I have a few things to say…read more First, the day of our wedding, beginning to end, was magical. Tony and his colleague captured that magic in a way I have trouble putting words to. They were on time, dressed well, professional, and didn't need any direction from me or my husband. Within moments of their arrival, it was clear they are well-versed and excellent at what they do. Second, I received several calls from family and friends asking where I found Tony. They were beyond impressed by him and his colleague's attitude and finesse. Lastly, he estimated 8 weeks to finish my photos and I got them in 19 days. This isn't to say they were rushed by any means. Each photo is beautifully edited. While viewing the photos, we laughed, we cried, and we were transported back in time to the best day of our lives. I will forever recommend Tony.
