Portland Wedding
Photographer 

Available
worldwide

For madly in love adventurers who value photos of intimacy in a modern, timeless way.

Bethany Bloem Photography

Hello, I'm Bethany Bloem

I'm a local and destination Wedding and elopement Photographer in Portland Oregon.

 

I'm here to capture your adventures, your special day, your love story, your epic dance moves and the most intimate moments of your life. I believe in the power of love and capturing the human experience with heartfelt candids and sweeping landscapes.

 

Creating a one of a kind experience for laid back and modern adventurers is my calling. I'm not afraid to climb mountains, get in the ocean, hang out of helicopters and do whatever it takes to make this experience and the end product truly out of this world.

 

As a professional photographer, I strive to bring out those authentic, stress free, quiet, normally unseen moments of intimacy of your wedding day. I use soft guidance and cringe worthy dad jokes to bring the vision to life and (hopefully) bring on the laughs.

Your wedding day is about you.

I shoot wedding photography and capture magical moments in a way that is non intrusive and allows your story to unfold in an authentic, organic way. But I will also tell you where the best background is, where the best light is coming from and how to position yourself so I can capture your wedding photos and candid moments at your most flattering angles on your wedding day. 

I believe in loving with your whole heart, living simply and that dogs are truly a persons best friend. I believe that capturing pretty moments and photos of you and your bridesmaids is awesome,  but so is your grandmother drinking wine from the bottle with your best friend. I'm here to capture this and everything in between.
 

Modern.
Bold.
Authentic

Bethany did such a fantastic job at making us feel more natural and comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us get into sweet positions that photographed really well and took us to numerous locations she had already scouted to capture amazing images. It was 28 degrees and she was gloveless and working with some difficult lighting but did a splendid job! We love our photos. We hired the right wedding photographer. Thank you Bethany!

  • How much does wedding photography cost on average in Portland?
    It really depends on the individual you hire. Many professional photographers with years of experience and serious equipment have a price tag to reflect this. A budget or new photographer is going to be under $2,500 for a full day. A mid range or standard rate is around $3,500 - $4,500 for an experienced, vetted photographer. You can be assured the photos will be great and they have the skills for your day. If you want high end and luxury, the starting point is usually $6,500 and up. These are quality driven, highly experienced photographers that will give you the highest quality product. You really do get what you pay for and missing important moments on the best day of your life could really make or break your day.
  • What is the average turnaround time for wedding photos?
    I do my absolute best to get every gallery into the hands of my clients within one month. In the peak of the busy season sometimes it can take a little longer. However, in my contract it states 3 months maximum and I will always get you a sneak peak gallery to celebrate while you wait!
  • What are some things to keep in mind when planning wedding, elopement and engagement photos?
    The most important thing to keep in mind is the amount of people present at the location. Because of this, I always recommend picking a mid week day instead of the weekend. The PNW is prone to high traffic in the natural areas on the weekend and is practically empty during the week. Since the weather here is famous for being wet, keep this in mind when planning. I love the misty rain aesthetic, but if you don’t then you want to plan for the summer months when dry days are guaranteed.
