PORTLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR AUTHENTIC, CINEMATIC, UNSCRIPTED LOVE STORIES
A PORTLAND WEDDING EXPERIENCE THAT FEELS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS
Look, having your photo taken can feel awkward as hell and I’m here to fix that. My approach as a Portland wedding photographer is simple: get you comfortable, confident, and completely in the moment, so your photos don’t just look amazing. They feel like you.
I bring a relaxed, inclusive energy to every wedding — from intimate Portland elopements to bold, multicultural celebrations and destination weddings across the globe. I focus on the emotion, the culture, and the in-between moments that make your day yours. My editing is warm, true-to-tone, and built to last: every skin tone deserves to look stunning now and in 30 years when your grandkids are nosing through your album.
✔ Zero Stiff, Awkward Posing — Just Real Moments
I guide you into natural interactions so you can forget the camera and just be. No forced smiles, just genuine emotion.
✔ A Calm, Grounding Presence on Your Portland Wedding Day
Wedding days can get chaotic. I keep things smooth, fun, and stress-free, while being your hype person and problem solver.
✔ Story-First, Emotion-Forward Photography
Your wedding is more than just a photoshoot. I capture real moments that transport you back every time you look at your photos, honoring the love, culture, and joy of your day.

BILINGUAL PORTLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
WEST COAST + WORLDWIDE
Hi, I’m Marcela
PORTLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | DIGITAL + 35MM FILM
I’m a bilingual Latina, child of immigrants, mezcal drinker, dog lover, and fantasy reader, in a nutshell. As a hopeless romantic who loves love, I would like nothing more but for you to share your story with me. Together we can capture this new chapter of your life.
As your Portland wedding photographer, I’ve captured 200+ weddings since 2015 and what I’ve learned is this: the honest, unscripted moments are everything. Oh, and making sure you look damn good doesn’t hurt either. I know having your photo taken can feel awkward as hell, so my whole approach is built around keeping you comfortable, present, and actually having fun. The more you forget the camera’s there, the better the photos get. Trust me on this one.
Based in Portland, OR but I’m always daydreaming about wherever your love story leads. Portland elopement in Forest Park? Destination wedding in Italy? I’m your gal. I will follow you anywhere, to whatever end.
rooted in the Portland community
photos with a purpose
Portland is home. Giving back is non-negotiable. A percentage of every shoot supports local Latino families navigating immigration challenges and local organizations fighting food insecurity. Because community care looks good on everyone.

What Portland couples are saying
“MARCELA’S WORK IS PURE MAGIC!
She is such a talented photographer and amazing human being. When I first looked at her portfolio/photos, I fell in love She was so easy to work with through the whole process. I thought it would be difficult but she made it so simple. The weather was crazy, the wedding day timeline was all over the place and nothing went exactly as planned but she captured the day PERFECTLY.”
“Her photos have a depth, beauty and realness that so many wedding photos lack.
I absolutely love the photos she took – which somehow manage to capture the magical setting, joy/vibrancy of the guests and those beautiful in between moments. In addition to being such a talented photographer, Marcela was also wonderful to work with – responsive and organized from my first point of outreach.”
“From the moment we first met Marcela we knew she was ‘our person.’
She is the best at capturing raw emotion and making people radiate from the inside out. We could not recommend her more. If you are looking for someone to capture your day, stop looking and lock Marcela down ASAP.”
