Welcome To Redfining Your Dream Wedding
You don't have to be an extreme sports junkie or a super model to have out of this world wedding photos.
You don't have to hike 20 miles or fly in a helicopter to get there.
It can be on top of a mountain, on the ocean shore or in a sprawling urban city venue.
You don't have to feel like you're roughing it or fitting into a box you don't belong in. It's supposed to be fun and it's supposed to be made for the two of you!
Think of it more like the first day of your honeymoon. The first epic adventure together after "I do."
Testimonials
Client Feedback.
Hello, I'm Bethany Bloem
Welcome! I am a local photographer and videographer from Portland, Oregon. We are a 3 person team of award winning memory makers. Are you lovers of of stunning locations and all things fun and non traditional? Great, let’s make it fun, not akward. Your love story, your epic dance moves and the most intimate and memorable moments of your life all deserve to be represented. We believe in the power of love and capturing the human experience with heartfelt candids, stunning bridal portraits and sweeping landscapes. We think beautiful moments with your partner are just as important as capturing your grandma drinking whiskey straight from the bottle with your best friend.
Creating a one of a kind experience for laid back and modern adventurers (that’s you!) is our calling. I am 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. Fun loving, quirky and weird are my favorite terms of endearment and I hope it resonates with you!
As a professional photographer and videographer, I strive to bring out those authentic, stress free, 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!

Why choose us
Capture the perfect moments that will make memories.
All wedding photographers operate differently. You want to find the perfect match for your specific, so what exactly separates me from the rest?
Elopements and weddings have a lot of moving parts. Most clients have never planning a wedding before. I have worked with hundreds of couples over the last decade and use that experience to help build your perfect day. That means less stress for you and more time to be present on your best day ever.
Are you uncomfortable in front of the camera? No worries, me too. This is something I hear from almost every client. I will 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. Make it fun, not awkward.
We believe in blending in so we can really capture the candid, authentic, uniquely your day moments that feel like we aren't even there. We want your photos and videos to look true to the moment. This day is about you, not us, so you are having more time to be present in the moment.
Whether you're planning a small, intimate ceremony or a grand celebration with all your loved ones, I will work closely with you to understand your vision and create a bespoke photography package that meets your needs and budget. The goal is to provide an unparalleled client experience.
