Looking for safe, inclusive wedding vendors in Washington and Oregon can be a bit of a mine-field; wondering if you’re safe with them, let alone if they get your vision and can celebrate your love in a way that truly holds your moments with care. As an inclusive photographer, I believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable, celebrated, and seen exactly as they are. I don't expect my clients to fit into a mold or perform for the camera. Instead, I focus on creating an environment where genuine connection can take center stage.
No pretending, no forced performance, purely a place to breathe freely in the love you both want to cherish, with photography that feels like belonging.
You’re not just welcome here, but deeply celebrated.
A SAFE AND LOVING SPACE FOR ALL
MOODY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN OREGON & WASHINGTON
capture your moments; I'm here to genuinely care about them and hold space for them.

Most people step in front of a camera worried about the same things. What do I do with my hands? Which angle is my best? How do I look natural? The truth is, none of that is your job. My role is to create an experience where you can simply show up as yourself while I take care of the rest. I'll guide you when you need direction, give you space when a moment deserves to unfold naturally, and create imagery that feels authentic to who you are.
One of my favorite things is anticipating moments and capturing details that people wouldn’t even think to document. Finding meaning in the small moments lets you romanticize this messy ride called life, and there’s nothing more meaningful to me than helping you see the beauty in that.
You deserve to be fully present in your experience.
Not worrying about poses, angles, or whether you're doing it right. That's my responsibility. Your only job is to show up and be truly yourself.

Maelynn and Kyle were such an incredible duo! The photos they took of us were AMAZING. I am so in awe by how beautiful they turned out. They both were so kind! These pictures will forever be a keepsake in our family, and I am so thankful to have an opportunity to get my photos taken by Maelynn. She is definitely my go to photographer for beautiful, moody, romantic photos. Book her before her slots fill up quick!
Gabriela & Cynthia
I had such a specific vision, something dramatic, romantic, cinematic… almost like a mix of Outlander and Twilight and she did it !!! She captured detail so beautifully and artistically. The photos feel like scenes from a story instead of just pictures. We are still completely in awe. These are the kind of photos I know I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for giving us memories that feel magical.

Maelynn was a dream to work with! You can truly tell how passionate she is about her art and she goes above and beyond to ensure that she gets every shot. I appreciate how much she hyped me up during my photoshoot and she truly made me feel so beautiful and badass. Would recommend her for any portrait session or major life event!

I could not recommend Maelynn enough!!!!!!!! Me and my Husband (still wild saying that!!) are NOT photography people, and honestly thought we wouldn’t enjoy the pictures that much. Maelynn is not only just the sweetest and most calming presence on big days she also just takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. We also (in the best way possible) did not even notice her on the dance floor or at the reception yet still had the most amazing candid photos of us and our family and friends.

Maelynn and her partner Kyle did our elopement and photography and it was absolutely amazing! We had a beautiful little ceremony in the woods, and afterwards she helped us pose for the most ethereal portraits. They made our wedding day so special and we will always have these incredible photos to commemorate it! We truly can’t thank her enough and we highly recommend her!
Yaremi & Kyle
It’s been a few months since she took my photos, and I’m still not over how beautiful they are. She made the process so easy, guiding my husband and me on exactly how to pose and going above and beyond to capture the perfect shot. My photos look like a movie and tell a story, which is exactly what I was looking for. If you’re looking for unique photos, this is your person!
Shivani & Nathan
Maelynn is an exceptional photographer who exceeded our expectations! She took the time to hear our story and made us feel incredibly comfortable, even though we’re camera-shy introverts. Her ability to capture dreamy, cinematic, and candid moments resulted in photos that are even more beautiful than we envisioned. If you’re looking for someone to do justice to your special moments, like our anniversary shoot/elopement, Maelynn is the perfect choice!
Yanett & Monica
My wife and I eloped with 6 people along with Maelynn and her partner, Kyle, who ordained us! It was such a precious ceremony & moment that we will cherish forever! The pictures came out GORGEOUS. We couldn’t be more grateful! The way she captures all the emotions and moments is everything! I can feel all the emotions & overall soul of every photo and that means the world to me. f numbers had to make a decision for you, my experience a 1000/10! If in doubt, please don’t, Maelynn is the best!
Monica & Hayden
I can't recommend Maelynn enough! We are absolutely in awe over our engagement shoot photos, better than anything I could have imagined. She was friendly, fun, and helped us capture posed shots in a more natural and candid way to get beautiful photos. I told her my inspiration and dreams for the shoot and she just made it happen, and so much better than I ever dreamed. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH MAELYNN, you are incredibly talented!!!
I'm inspired by all things human and creative, which is why I find so much beauty in the little nuances that make each person who they are. No two people are the same, and that's what keeps this work endlessly inspiring. Every story invites a new perspective, a new connection, and a new way of preserving something deeply personal.
I don't show up with a camera in hand to create copy-and-paste wedding photos. I dream up thoughtful concepts, scout locations that hold meaning, embrace the beautiful chaos and unexpected moments, and preserve the memories that might otherwise be forgotten. Creativity is woven into everything I do, both behind the camera and long before your wedding day ever arrives.
More than anything, I want you to feel like you're spending time with a friend rather than hiring another vendor. By the end of your experience, I hope you leave with beautiful imagery, unforgettable memories, and someone you'll always know is cheering you on long after your gallery has been delivered.

Art isn’t something beautiful that has no meaning; real art turns something intangible and brimming with emotion into something people linger on, and that’s no different when it comes to documenting your story. I'm not here to capture the aesthetics, I'm here to capture the beauty in the real moments that make up who you are. And I'm committed to creating a safe space and a thoughtful approach that allows me to understand your life experience, and share it with the future version of yourself who will thank you for it.
