Wedding galleries and stories

These are some of the weddings I've photographed around Portland, Oregon, and Southwest Washington.
All shoots I showcase are real celebrations, no staging or stylized shoots, ever.

Wedding Photography | Coverage & Pricing

Some weddings need just a couple of hours for the ceremony and portraits. Others have a packed schedule, a substantial guest list, and a party nobody wants to leave early. I've put together a few coverage options, but there's always room to adjust them to your plans.

Micro weddings + Smaller celebrations

2 hrs | $1,100

Courthouse weddings, outdoor ceremonies with an officiant, and celebrations with a few guests. Enough time for the ceremony and portraits of the two of you.

6 Hours | $2,800

For weddings with a straightforward schedule. Coverage can include the ceremony, portraits, and a substantial portion of the reception, with flexibility depending on your priorities. Most popular.

4 Hours | $1,900

Best for backyard weddings and smaller celebrations, but more than just the ceremony documented. 4 hours gives us time for portraits, family photographs, candids, and part of the reception.

8 Hours | $3,900

My usual recommendation for a full wedding day. Enough time for getting ready, the ceremony, family portraits, cocktail hour, and reception coverage without squeezing everything into a tight schedule.

10 Hours | $5,000

For those who know how to throw a party and don't want to watch the clock. Plenty of room for a relaxed schedule, spontaneous moments, and a celebration that runs late. Soak in the day knowing I'm there to capture it all, without worrying about running out of time.

À La Carte | Make It Yours

Not every wedding fits neatly into a package. You can add coverage or combine services to make things work for your plans.

  • $500/hour

    Need a little more time for getting ready or don't want me to leave before the dance floor gets interesting? Additional hours can be added to your wedding coverage.

  • Starting at $120/hour

    Especially useful for larger weddings, getting ready in separate locations, or moments happening simultaneously. A second photographer can join us for part of the day or the entire celebration.

  • If you're celebrating across several days, I can photograph the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or another gathering you'd like included.

    Quoted individually.

  • $150/roll

    Add film photographs alongside your digital gallery. It is a true heirloom. Includes film, development, and high-resolution scans.

    Ask me about the difference between 35mm film and 120!

  • Custom Quote

    Top lab printed photographs and albums made to be enjoyed outside your phone or computer. Album design, size, materials, and printing options can be discussed individually.

What Couples Say About Working With Me

  • Alyssa & Dylan. Verified on ZOLA

    "Maria was the perfect choice for our forest elopement photography. From the very beginning, Maria's communication was clear, friendly, and timely, putting us at ease as first-time photo subjects. Her artistic, professional, and sensual approach to capturing our special day was exactly what we were looking for. Maria was great at directing us - we were nervous and didn't know what to do with our hands or how to pose, but she helped make everything look and feel natural while having so much fun! Maria is a super talented photographer and also a great director. We worked with her for our elopement and also for our small wedding dinner a month later, and her photos now hang all around our house, reminding us of these special days. Hiring Maria was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Can't wait to work with her again!"

    “Maria Orlova Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Her communication style was direct and understanding throughout the entire process when we were talking about my vision for the photos. The quality of her work was truly stunning - she has an incredible editorial eye and captured so many candid, natural moments that we will cherish forever. Maria was extremely professional, on time, and direct when communicating with both my husband and I as well as our family, which I was so grateful for. She was extremely helpful in time management and making sure that all of our photography needs were met on the big day. I cannot recommend Maria Orlova Photography highly enough - they helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect!.”

  • Elise & Joshua. Verified on ZOLA

    “1000% recommend! Maria was so kind and helpful! We reached out to her roughly 6 months before our wedding because our original photographer was not responding to us/being sketchy. She immediately offered to chat with us and we ended up booking her instead. She was very professional and responded almost immediately to every email. When she arrived at our wedding we were running behind schedule, but she calmed me down and took the time to walk around the venue to get an idea of where to take pictures. We were even able to add on extra photo time the day of which was so helpful! I would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking to have professional photos done!”

    I had a really wonderful experience working with Maria on some portraits. She was warm, kind, and produced images that looked like me despite my discomfort with being

    I cannot even begin to say enough about Maria and her amazing photography skills! We had a small, intimate wedding and she captured our magical moments beautifully. She was so easy to work with, a great communicator and listener, and made my wife and I both feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We will definitely hire her again for any of our photography needs!

    I am so glad I picked Maria for our wedding photography. She did an amazing job! Even during a stressful time, and through the rain on our wedding day, she was calm and found a way to take beautiful pictures. We absolutely love them and wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Maria!
