About Skylar

I grew up in a small town in Western South Dakota but moved to the beautiful state of Oregon in 2021. My small-town upbringing taught me to value community, but Oregon has given me a better understanding of diversity and culture. I’m excited to explore that deeper as I meet new people from all walks of life.

I got my first camera when I was a freshman in high school and quickly became obsessed with capturing the world around me. After shooting my first wedding for $600, I called my parents a week later and told them I was moving to Portland to become a wedding photographer. I did not have near enough money in my savings account and zero weddings on the calendar. But I had fallen in love with this job, and there was no holding me back.

Since then, photography has become much more than just a career for me. It’s transformed the way I view the world and has allowed me to connect with people on a deeper level. It’s a form of expression, and an essential part of who I am.

My Approach

inspiring nostolgia

I don’t believe in turning your wedding day into a production.

Instead, I value authentic connections and real love, raw and unfiltered - shifting the focus from perfectly executing a planned schedule to embracing the imperfections and genuine emotions of the day. It’s about remembering, that at the heart of it all, this day is about you and your partner starting a new chapter together.

This is not to say that I don’t value the decor or grandeur of weddings. I recognize that there is care and intention woven into every detail of your wedding day. My job is to capture the beauty you've worked so hard to piece together - to translate the intentional choices you made into timeless photographs.

But this is my belief: I think perfection happens when you focus on creating space for these intimate connections. Prioritize time with your loved ones and be fully present in each moment, savoring the laughter, the tears, the silent understanding, and the overwhelming joy. That, I believe, is where true “perfection” lies.
