I cannot thank Randy enough for his quality work and skill at easing my discomfort with being…read morephotographed. I never imagined taking Professional photos could be enjoyable and fun! I was surprised to find that I was able to relax and let him take the lead easily due to his care and clarity in directing. And he was happy to hear what I had to say and made the whole experience lovely! We were near many distractions for me, as it was a cityscape headshot, and it was a situation that I would usually feel reticent to be in but he quickly was able to engage me in the process and conversation that by the time we started taking pictures I wasn't concerned at all with any onlookers. But most importantly, the pictures were gorgeous! His direction was so spot on and I will be taking any future photographs with Randy from here on out.

As a wedding planner I have the privilege of working alongside The Ashers as the photographer for…read moreclient's weddings and for my family's personal photos, and I am thrilled to share what a fantastic experience it is. Ellie and Will bring a level of professionalism and creativity that truly enhances the wedding day. From the pre-wedding consultation to the final delivery of images, their attention to detail and commitment to capturing the essence of the event is evident. As a wedding planner, seamless collaboration is crucial, and The Ashers exceed expectations. They seamlessly integrates into the event, capturing moments with an artistic eye while remaining unobtrusive. The resulting photographs are not just images but true reflections of the emotions and beauty of the day. I highly recommend The Ashers to any couple seeking a talented photographer who goes above and beyond to deliver stunning images. Thank you, Ellie and Will, for your exceptional work and for making the wedding day even more memorable with your artistry behind the lens!

Ellie Asher Photography is amazing in every sense of the word. Her and her partner in crime Will do…read morefantastic work. From the moment I contacted her as a possible photographer for my wedding I knew this was who I wanted, and trusted for my big day. Her style is what I would describe as whimsical and magical, somehow finding the perfect of incorporating natural surroundings and the people who are in the shot--making everything seem like something straight out on a PNW fairytale. Before we officially booked with Ellie my fiance and I met her for coffee. We had a nice chat about what we thought was important to capture for our wedding. She completely understood what we wanted to focus on, and her vibe was one that put us at ease. Immediately we knew that if we booked with Ellie we wouldn't have to worry about anything. Business-wise Ellie is very responsive. She got back to me right away every time I had a question about anything. For engagement photos she sent me a email that had helpful suggestions and hints in terms of ideas to wear, and what to expect for day. She also walked the venue with us and got the input of a few different locations that we would like to have pictures taken at. Working with both Ellie and Will have been fantastic and I can honestly refer them to anyone needing photography of any kind.

Great photographer! I had to have pictures done for work, which was terribly dreadful! Serra worked…read morephoto magic! All my insecure spots that make me cringe, were for once not the focus of the photo and not because she used Photoshop or some photo editing software but she took care with finding the right pose for me and the lighting was wonderful! I've spoken to her already about doing my family photos and I'm soooooo looking forward to that. Serravision is great! Especially if you're one of those folks that are a bit insecure, her easy going sensitive nature will put you right at ease! Heck, I may even ask her to do a boudoir photo for my next anniversary!

Update 12/2016: original review below. I never thought I'd be one to do regular profesional photos…read moreof my family but I've so loved Serra's photos that we've now done two additional sessions. Her new pricing structure is awesome if you want to work with someone long term. She accurately captured our always moving toddlers in some amazing candid/real life photos which is what we wanted. And a couple of amazing poses family shots as well:). Original review: We had such a great experience working with Serra for our maternity and newborn photos. This was the first time we had professional photos taken and Serra was not someone we knew so we weren't really sure what to expect. My husband was reluctant to have photos taken as he says he always looks terrible in posed pictures because he is not comfortable in front of the camera. I mentioned this to Serra prior to our shoot and she let us know that her goal with her work is for clients to feel comfortable and at ease. Our maternity shoot was done in a park. Afterwards my husband and I were talking about how it just felt like a fun afternoon in the park, and not like we were getting our photos taken. They turned out great-we look like ourselves, but it is clear that Serra understands photography and the photos are amazing. We then went back for our newborn shoot. As a new mom, it is a little nerve racking to hand your baby off to a stranger to have his/her photos taken. When we arrived our baby was awake and not happy. Serra was able to get him to sleep and take amazing photos of him. Also, I somehow turned out looking good in the photos even though it was ten days after giving birth. This was true even in the unedited versions so I am confident Serra knows what she is doing:) Overall it was an enjoyable, professional experience with photos to treasure for a lifetime.

One of the best parts of getting married is getting your pictures taken over and over and over and…read moreover and over.... Okay, so not really. But if you have a photographer like Brian, it can be FAR less painful. I still hated having my picture that much, but at least I had someone fun and super talented on the other end of the lense. I met Brian at the Bravo Wedding show. If you are getting married, I recommend going to this show. He was friendly and chatty and gave us a coupon for a free engagement session if we used him. I was sold, but the hubby wanted to talk to a couple other photographers. So a few weeks later we made the rounds to the 4 or 5 we had narrowed our choices down to. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with the other photographers, but I just knew that Brian was going to be the right fit for us. And can I add that the price was right? You will spend a WHOLE lot more with some of the comprable wedding photographers in Portland. Brian did our engagement photos for us in Cannon Beach, where we got engaged. We ran all over the city taking pictures and finished with some pictures on the beach. Not only was the session free, but he only charged us $150 to travel all the way out to the beach. A steal if you ask me. The day of the wedding was just as good. Everyone was smiling and really enjoying the whole experience... which if you knew my husband and some of his freinds, the amount of smiling they did was a miracle. I give Brian all the credit for that. :) He even managed to pull of a last minute save as my mother tripped over her pants and went tumbling forward. Not a bruise on her or his camera. How many people could pull THAT off? The website he posts the pictures on is simple to use, which is a bonus for those not-so-computer-literate family members. And he will sell you all of the negatives. We got our wedding, wedding rehearsal, and engagement photos all for one price. And when one of our books didn't come back the way he wanted it, he turned around and ordered a new one. A several hundred dollar loss to him, but some two very happy clients. Seriously, I have no idea how he made any money off of us... My only warning is that it can take a couple weeks to get your photos. We got our about a week after our honeymoon, which was fine with us. But if you are going to want your wedding photos the next day, Brian isn't for you. But the quality of his work makes it worth the wait. So, if you need a wedding photographer, give him a call. You'll love how friendly he is and how relaxed you will be. Oh, and ask him to show you the jelly bean trick he does with his dog. :)

I wish I could give 10 stars to Jos and Tree. They are simply amazing. Our photos were so…read moregorgeous and even better, our experience working with them was so much FUN! They are such a fun, chill, calming couple. We had them over for dinner a few months over the wedding and they just fit right in, and took the time to get to know us and understand who we are, so our pictures truly reflected that on our wedding day. I've never seen pictures so stunning. Also, the day of the wedding, the guys were late and threw off our pre-ceremony shooting schedule and they just rolled with it. I never even knew. Seriously, if you have the money book them immediately. I also dont think they are overpriced, given others I looked around at. Worth every penny and then some. I've posted some of my favorite shots from Jos Photography here.

I am so stunned by their work and detail oriented skills! I am not a huge fan of cameras, but Jos and Tree made sure I was comfortable. Their work is amazing and they both are really passionate and love what they do. Their work is worth every dollar! For someone who is not easily impressed.............Jos + Tree delivered! Not only is Jos a great referral source, but he knows how and what he wants for and from you to have the amazing photos you dream of. I have never seen someone work so hard for an entire long........day!! I don't even recall Jos and Tree ever eating during the course of a 10 hour day. This is because there is always someone taking a photo. I also appreciated that Jos and Tree is easy but assertivate....I always felt comfortable speaking with them. It was as though he was SUPERMAN........and she was superwoman lol..........but seriously, there are a lot of photographers out there but TRUST ME.............there is only ONE Jos and Tree. They're well worth the money and more. Just do yourself a favor and make an appointment to review their work and you too will chose them.

Katia was so responsive when I inquired about a mini family session she was offering. We were even given the opportunity to choose our shooting location. She did provide a list of suggestions as well. Katia worked so well with our family which included an active toddler and baby. She worked through any challenges we had with our toddler so effortlessly since she is a mom herself. I love our fall family photos so much. It was hard to choose a favorite to use for our Christmas cards this year. The photos didn't take long to get back either and the download process was super easy. I was able to download it onto my google photos and then access that directly through the site I was using for our Christmas cards. We definitely plan on using her again for future family sessions. I definitely recommend her and to check out her Instagram. That's where I initially found her amazing work.

At least those were my initial thoughts going into the big day. Reality, the photographer will make your big day seemless, amazing, and fun! Until you actually get married, it is hard to grasp how fast a wedding goes by. Ashley was phenomenal at capturing the candid moments of all of our guests. Her pictures leave you with a sense that you were at the event showcasing all the effort that was put into our wedding. Thanks to her, she helps us fill in the pieces that we would have missed. Lastly, the portrait shots that Ashley did for my bride and I were unbelievable. She did not do the typical wedding poses and group shots, she really went outside the box and put an artist's touch into each shot. She is the top wedding photographer in the business, bar none.

During our initial meeting, we found that she was professional, informative, personable and agreeable. We were very impressed by her portfolio so we signed the contract immediately. On the day of the event, she was quick, unobtrusive, friendly and commanding when necessary. She ended up getting some great shots that we're very happy with. I'd highly recommend working with Ashley for any wedding.
