It all started because I had three sisters, and we just had to take glamour shots of each other all through middle school and high school. Hundred of disposable cameras later, I used all my high school graduation money to buy a DSLR. After saying "yes" to all my friends headshots, engagements, and weddings I realized I had become a wedding photographer.
fAST FORWARD TO NOW...
Thirteen years later, and I still can't believe that I get to connect with the kindest humans of their most special day. From sneak peeks of the wedding dress, to helping you customize a wedding keepsake album, I get to experience so much joy through this process
IT ALL STARTED WHEN...

I love getting to know you as a couple and sharing in your joy on the big day. I want you to be totally comfortable and 100% yourselves in front of the camera!

It's true that "less is more." When it comes to photography, I have a keen eye for the details that truly matter and letting your love speak for itself.
SIMPLE
I BELIEVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE..
I spent a good portion of my childhood in a village in the Central African Republic, where my parents did medical work. Those early years of travel instilled in me a need to see the world and experience new things regularly. Thankfully I found a partner who feels the same way. Paul and I were married 13 years ago, and I’m so thankful we chose to make our wedding day unique to who we were, surrounded by the people we love. And we continue trying to live our lives that way every day.
CHAPTER ONE
A few years ago we built a tiny house on wheels in Indiana and drove it out to Portland, Oregon so we could be a little closer to the ocean, the mountains and the airport. We had the Opportunity to have our tiny house build filmed for an episode of HGTVs “Tiny House Big Living” show! We currently live in the tiny house while we fix up the house and property we bought last year.
CHAPTER TWO
We spend much of our time (and all of our money) on traveling, renovationg, being outdoors, and running with our dog, Sage. While we don’t have any children, Yann is a special little kid in our lives. He lived with us for 1.5 years while he had spinal surgery, but is back home in the Ivory Coast with his family now. We are still very connected to him and you will see his cute face pop up from time to time. Our desire is to share the grace and love we have found in Christ to the people we come in contact with each day. We are always trying to learn better ways to do that, and pray that we can leave those around us better than they were before.
CHAPTER THREE
Hi! I’m Bekah and I’m so glad you stopped by. I’m a natural light photographer based in Portland, Oregon, serving the PNW, Midwest and any other destination you could imagine!
GET TO KNOW ME
My Story
Bekah was everything and more than we could have dreamed of as a wedding photographer. Bekah was in constant communication with us and our planner leading up to the wedding day. Bekah blended in seamlessly while capturing all of the most important moments of the evening. The final result was absolutely incredible photos that we will cherish for our lifetimes.
"everything and more that we could have dreamed of"
Bekah is the type of photographer that every bride wants (and needs) for their wedding! Not only is she one of the most personable, kind, and loving women you will ever meet, she also has an incredible gift and talent in photography. I could not have asked for a more wonderful photographer!
"Bekah has an incredible gift and talent"
Bekah is among the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. From the beginning, Bekah listened to our needs and wants and brought her creative eyes to capture incredible photos. Bekah is very organized and punctual. Our wedding was a whole day affair with the traditional Vietnamese events. Bekah remembered all the events and was there to capture the moments.
"among the best decisions we made"
Bekah is a master at understanding lighting! We have a range of skin colors in our family, and whether we were outside or inside, she knew the best light to enhance everyone's facial features. This is something multiple other photographers have not been able to achieve for us. Above all, Bekah has a heart of gold. She is trustworthy, sweet, caring, and dependable.
