“MARCELA’S WORK IS PURE MAGIC!

She is such a talented photographer and amazing human being. When I first looked at her portfolio/photos, I fell in love She was so easy to work with through the whole process. I thought it would be difficult but she made it so simple. The weather was crazy, the wedding day timeline was all over the place and nothing went exactly as planned but she captured the day PERFECTLY.”

“Her photos have a depthbeauty and realness that so many wedding photos lack.

I absolutely love the photos she took – which somehow manage to capture the magical setting, joy/vibrancy of the guests and those beautiful in between moments. In addition to being such a talented photographer, Marcela was also wonderful to work with – responsive and organized from my first point of outreach.”

“From the moment we first met Marcela we knew she was ‘our person.’

She is the best at capturing raw emotion and making people radiate from the inside out. We could not recommend her more. If you are looking for someone to capture your day, stop looking and lock Marcela down ASAP.”

I’M ALL ABOUT CAPTURING

HEARTFELT MOMENTS

BILINGUAL PORTLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER SERVICING THE WEST COAST + AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

Hi, I’m Marcela

Film & Digital Photographer

I’m a bilingual Latina, child of immigrants, mezcal drinker, dog lover, and fantasy reader, in a nutshell. As a hopeless romantic who loves love, I would like nothing more but for you to share your story with me. Together we can capture this new chapter of your life.

As a Portland Oregon wedding photographer, I’ve captured over 200 weddings since 2016. I learned to focus on what’s important: the honest moments of authentic human connection and making sure you look damn good. I know having your photo taken can feel awkward as hell, so my main focus is on being a calming presence and making sure that you’re having a good time! The more present you are and the more fun you’re having, the better the photos will be. Trust me.

I’m always daydreaming of traveling anywhere your love story takes me. Eloping in Yosemite or having a destination wedding in Italy? I’m your chica! I would follow you anywhere, to whatever end.

Photos That Remind You What It Felt Like

A LITTLE MORE ON WHAT I’M ABOUT!

You want your photos to be effortlessly cool, to look like they were picked right out of a magazine. But they should be able to withstand the test of time and fit right in when you look back on them in 20-30 years. That’s what my editing style is; true to tone and rich warm tones.

nos·tal·gia
/nəˈstaljə/
noun

  1. a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

More than anything, I want you to be able to look back on your wedding photos and remember exactly what it felt like.

From ivory to ebony, I want your skin to look DAMN good! That’s why my editing style is warm, rich, and true to tone. It’s what makes every skin tone look flattering as hell.

I absolutely love the raw and gritty aesthetic you get with film photography. You never know what you’re going to get! Whether you’re looking for 35mm, instant, or medium format toy cameras, I gotchu! Seriously, my collection is ridiculous.
