oregon elopement photographer

"Our experience with Sharlee was everything we could have hoped it to be, if not so much more. To start, we wanted our ceremony to be in Utah, which was a challenge in itself being that we live in Oregon. Sharlee knew all the steps to take to make sure we could have photos at our ceremony in the location we wanted, including what permits were needed (which seemed like the most daunting of tasks). She was also great about asking us what our vision was for our ceremony so she could get the best photos possible, and she really delivered on getting those photos. I mean, WOW. To start, the moments she captured are the moments we'll want to look back on, so many years from now. From us getting ready, to the ceremony, to cute moments after the ceremony and everything in between, she caught it all. She even made on-the-fly-adjustments to make sure we got the perfect photos when things didn't go quite to our original plan, and did so in such a professional and smooth way that you almost would have thought she expected it to begin with. We received a preview gallery in the midst of our honeymoon, which made it feel that much more special, and the photos are AMAZING. The photos combined with her editing style are beautiful and timeless, and I know they will be something we lovingly look back on for the rest of our lives. We absolutely made the right choice on who to hire for our big day and will be greatly appreciative of what she did for us for our the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend her highly enough for your big day, as I know you'll be ecstatic as we are about our photos."

"Our biggest challenge was the weather. However, we didn't expect it to take a turn for the worse. When it started to rain, it would not stop. Sharlee did an amazing job with navigating the weather. Her angle shots, choices of scenery and editing made the most out of the weather. Turned our bad weather wedding photos to an amazing unique weather wedding photo experience. Additionally, her communication was excellent. Texting and calling back and replying promptly was exquisite. Very cheerful, optimistic and easy-going despite the gloomy weather. She did an amazing job holding a conversation with our parents to keep them fully engaged since we had to hike to our destination. The photos that were taken undoubtedly captured the theme and our day. Remembering each photo elicits an emotional memory. The images that we received were just amazing and precious to us. We appreciate Sharlee's attitude and bubbly personality. Thank you Sharlee for working along side us."

"Working with Sharlee was a blast! My partner has some physical limitations, so I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to get the perfect locale and feel we wanted in our photos. Sharlee was super cognisant and respectful about this ask and came back with some great locations suggestions. It started with a 4 am hike and a fun adventure for some AMAZING sunrise photos. 150% would recommend Sharlee for your elopement adventure!"

"I definitely felt that my experience with Sharlee was clear and help calm my worries. I never felt like it was a burdened to take photos. Sharlee made it fun, carefree, and easy! I also thought it was super helpful that she had done her research on different ways to capture the moment in the unique way I was thinking. The overall experience was wonderful and then when I saw the pictures, I knew that she was the right decision even more! Sharlee is a must for your elopement needs!"

"Sharlee was so much fun to work with! Our session was seriously like hanging out with a best friend and also getting absolutely STUNNING images at the end of it! My wife and I cried while looking through our gallery because the photos were so full of the joy and silliness that we love in our relationship. Words can't describe how perfect the whole experience was. Thank you so much Sharlee!!"

"Sharlee is absolutely amazing! We worked with her this past winter, and WOW. She's friendly, fun, extremely kind, and very creative! We explored in the snow near Mount Rainier and just had an amazing time. I don't think we can recommend Sharlee enough! You definitely need to book her if you're looking for an adventure! "

"Honestly Sharlee goes above and beyond. My partner and I had an amazing experience taking pictures with her and they turned out beautiful!!! She really cares so much and wants to get to know you as a couple. Definitely recommend and will be reaching back out to you in the future!"

"Sharlee did an amazing job making sure we had a great time! The poses felt natural and not forced. We were comfortable to be ourselves and our doggos also had a great time! The pictures were beautiful and really captured us."
