I believe that love should be as unique and individual as we are.

 

Hello!

My name is Miryssa, and I’m an Oregon-based photographer with a heart deeply rooted in storytelling through imagery. Photography has been a part of my soul for over fifteen years—what began as a simple hobby soon blossomed into a lifelong passion. For the past seven years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of living my dream, capturing love, laughter, and life’s most tender milestones. Every session I capture is more than just a job—it’s an intimate collaboration, a chance to serve my clients not only as their photographer, but as a friend who truly sees them. My art is fueled by genuine connection; I cherish hearing your love stories, your sweetest memories, and the little moments that make you who you are. My greatest joy is weaving those pieces into imagery that reflects your unique story—authentic, emotive, and beautifully your own.

HI, I AM

MIRYSSA

 

INTIMATE ELOPEMENT & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

 

I am deeply inspired by life’s simple beauties—coffee in hand, surrounded by nature, and always chasing moments that make my heart feel full. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll often find me sipping an over caffeinated cup of coffee (iced coffee all year baby) while watching the Oregon sun spill through the trees, sketching ideas for my next creative project, or binging my favorite true crime podcasts. At home, my two cats (hell yeah I’m a cat lady!) Rue & Finley are my constant companions and muses, filling days with comfort, humor, and quiet company. Rooted in art, love, and connection, I search for the beauty in the in-between moments—the laughter shared, the changing of the seasons, and the quiet joy of simply being present.

 

I’m a photographer with a hopeless romantic’s heart and a camera that sees the world through a soft, nostalgic lens. I’m endlessly inspired by the charm of classic romantic comedies, where love is imperfect but beautifully cinematic, and every glance or touch feels like it belongs on film. My work leans into that warmth — grainy textures, golden light, and the candid moments that feel like a memory you can hold. I don’t just take photos; I try to document the kind of emotion that lingers — the kind that makes you want to fall in love all over again.

 

IN AN WORLD FULL OF EXPECTATIONS AND DIFFERENT OPTIONS, THE MOST RELIABLE CHOICE IS ALWAYS THE ONE THAT’S TRUE TO YOU BOTH.

 

The romanticism, the intimacy, the little things

BEING EMBRACED IN THEM.

Offering a safe and welcoming space to all lovers

As your wedding and elopement photographer, I believe love in all its forms deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered fully. I welcome couples of every background with open arms and an open heart, creating a space where you can feel seen and genuinely yourselves. My goal is to capture your love honestly—the laughter, the quiet glances, the raw emotions—without changing who you are and without expectations. Whether your story is wild and adventurous or tender and intimate, I’m here to honor it with compassion, inclusivity, and artistry. Love is love, and it’s my greatest joy to document it in all its vibrant, unapologetic forms.

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY

First and foremost I am a documentary styled photographer!

So, why choose documentary style photos?

A documentary-style couples photographer captures moments between couples in a candid and unposed manner, aiming to tell a genuine and authentic story of their relationship. Here are some key aspects of what defines a documentary-style couples photographer:

Candid Moments: Instead of staging shots or directing the couple, a documentary-style photographer focuses on capturing genuine, unscripted moments. They observe the couple interacting naturally and document their emotions, gestures, and expressions as they unfold spontaneously.

Storytelling Approach: Documentary-style photographers approach their work as storytellers. They seek to capture the essence of the couple's relationship by documenting the small details, interactions, and emotions that make their connection unique.

Emphasis on Real Emotions: These photographers prioritize capturing real emotions and genuine interactions over perfectly posed shots. They strive to capture the raw, unfiltered moments that reflect the true dynamics of the couple's relationship.

Unobtrusive Presence: A documentary-style photographer aims to blend into the background, allowing the couple to feel comfortable and uninhibited. They avoid interrupting the flow of moments and instead observe and capture events as they naturally unfold.

Focus on Authenticity: Authenticity is paramount in documentary-style photography. These photographers avoid overly staged or contrived setups, opting instead for genuine moments that reflect the true personalities and emotions of the couple.

Environmental Context: Documentary-style photographers often incorporate the couple's surroundings into their images, using the environment to enhance the narrative of the story. Whether it's a natural landscape, urban setting, or intimate indoor space, the surroundings play a crucial role in capturing the atmosphere of the moment.

Minimal Post-Processing: While some editing may be done to enhance the images, documentary-style photographers generally aim to keep post-processing minimal. They prioritize preserving the authenticity of the moments captured and avoid heavy editing that may detract from the natural feel of the images.
