Portland Wedding Photographer
Sightglass Photo + Films is a husband-and-wife wedding photography and videography team based in Portland, Oregon, working with couples who want their day documented honestly — without pressure, performance, or feeling like you have to put on a show for the camera.
If the idea of being “on display” all day or acting out staged moments makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Our approach is calm, observant, and people-first. We care less about perfection and more about how your day actually feels — the quiet in-between moments, dry humor, nervous laughter, and the connections that matter most.
With 25+ years of combined experience and hundreds of weddings across Oregon, we know how to adapt to real timelines and real people. From Portland city weddings to Columbia River Gorge celebrations, coastal elopements, forest ceremonies, and backyard weddings throughout the Willamette Valley, we keep things moving smoothly without adding stress or turning your day into a production.
Our style blends documentary storytelling with clean, modern portraiture. We step back when moments are unfolding naturally, and we step in with clear, efficient direction when it’s helpful — especially for couples who don’t love being in front of the camera. You’ll never be over-posed, rushed, or left wondering what to do.
We’re a great fit for couples who want to be present with their people, not performing for a highlight reel — and who value an organized, collaborative, and genuinely human experience.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for, we’d love to hear what you’re planning. You don’t need a perfect timeline or all the details yet — just tell us a little about your day and we can start from there.

We are Eric (he/him) and Amber (she/her), a husband & wife wedding photographer team out of Portland, Oregon with a different story than most. Both of us actually had our own established wedding photography businesses, with years of experience behind us, before we ever met. We met each other at a wedding networking meeting, became friends and then fell in love in about a month of meeting each other. After a wedding season we merged our 2 businesses into Sightglass Photography. Eric really loves taking fine art images while amber loves showing your day through photojournalism and together we have blended out styles to give you a few fine art images while telling the story of your day through photos. We are very good at time blocking to ensure we don’t spread ourselves too thing and prove the best client experience to all our clients.

We work with all kinds of couples and all kinds of weddings — big or small, formal or casual, loud or low-key. We’re comfortable working across a wide range of communication styles, personalities, and traditions, and we intentionally create an environment where everyone feels seen, respected, and supported. We proudly work with LGBTQ+ couples and believe wedding photo and video coverage should feel inclusive, thoughtful, and human.
We’re also body-inclusive and believe everyone deserves to feel good in front of the camera. Whether you’re camera-shy or love the spotlight, we meet you where you are and offer guidance that helps you feel comfortable and at ease.
We also know how important communication is — especially when you’re planning a wedding. We respond quickly (usually under 18 hours), we’re happy to help you plan the timeline, and we always show up early. We’re reliable, experienced, and really good at getting group shots done fast so you can get back to enjoying the party.
Our approach is simple: we want you to feel comfortable, seen, and at ease — and to walk away with images that bring you right back to the emotions of the day. Couples often tell us, “You captured moments we didn’t even know we’d want to remember,” which is exactly what we hope for every wedding we photograph.
If you’re looking for Portland, Oregon wedding photographers who balance professionalism with a relaxed, inclusive approach, we’d love to connect.
Client Reviews
We could not have asked for a better photography team than Amber and Eric! We met them at a friend's wedding, and so loved their vibes and the pictures they captured from our friend's special day. So, when we decided to have our own re-do wedding, we reached out to them immediately. They have been so easy to work with, so much fun, and so professional. They really took our wishes into consideration, which I really appreciated. We also got our photos less than 6 weeks later, which was the best. Having now seen their photos from two separate and very different weddings, I am pretty positive that Amber and Eric can do anything, and will do a fantastic job of capturing what makes a particular wedding special. We would hire them again in a heartbeat if we ever decide to do yet another re-do wedding.
— Alexa S.Amber and Eric are the photographers of our dreams! They captured every beautiful moment of our wedding! Not only did they take beautiful photos, they helped every step of the way. We had a planning meeting with them before our wedding and they planned our photo timeline right there with us. Upon meeting them we instantly knew that we were a good fit. Not only are they great photographers they're great people!! We had fun and did a lot of laughing together. I loved them so much that I asked Amber to do a boudoir shoot with me for my husbands present. I won't post any of those photos but trust me, they're magnificent!
Thank you guys so much! You'll never know how much this means to us!!
— Megan S.Amber and Eric were just fabulous as our wedding photographers. They were the perfect combination of being present for us but also working behind the scenes. They completely put us at ease and stayed with us the entire time. After we got our photos I was amazed at how many moments of pure joy they captured. I remember at one of our pre-event meetings Amber and Eric emphasized that this was our day and they were there for us. They were the epitome of professionals. On top of it they are just hilarious! Though sadly we won't have another wedding, I would hire them in a heartbeat for any other special event in the future.

This fall engagement session in Oregon featured golden leaves, forest trails, and a scenic lakeside overlook — the perfect backdrop for a relaxed same-sex couple photo session. With candid moments, playful interactions, and soft autumn colors, this engagement shoot highlights why Oregon parks are such a beautiful choice for couples who want natural, outdoorsy engagement photos with a laid-back feel.
