The man's perspective on wedding photographers.......snap a few family photos's, make the bride…read morehappy, hope the photographer enjoy's a slice of cake. At least those were my initial thoughts going into the big day. Reality, the photographer will make your big day seemless, amazing, and fun! Until you actually get married, it is hard to grasp how fast a wedding goes by. Ashley was phenomenal at capturing the candid moments of all of our guests. Her pictures leave you with a sense that you were at the event showcasing all the effort that was put into our wedding. Thanks to her, she helps us fill in the pieces that we would have missed. Lastly, the portrait shots that Ashley did for my bride and I were unbelievable. She did not do the typical wedding poses and group shots, she really went outside the box and put an artist's touch into each shot. She is the top wedding photographer in the business, bar none.

We're very pleased with Ashley's work. We hired her to shoot our wedding in mid-August in…read moreBeaverton. During our initial meeting, we found that she was professional, informative, personable and agreeable. We were very impressed by her portfolio so we signed the contract immediately. On the day of the event, she was quick, unobtrusive, friendly and commanding when necessary. She ended up getting some great shots that we're very happy with. I'd highly recommend working with Ashley for any wedding.

Best Photographer in PDX…read more I have been using White Glove Photography since I got married in 2007. Sandee really took the time to get to know me and what we were looking for in our pictures. She offered many options to choose from and on the day of the wedding was punctual and professional. My wedding pictures are amazing. Unfortunately there were some circumstances that cause us to separate 2 weeks after my daughter was born. Sandee was so kind and sent me an email to tell me that she wanted to make sure I got pictures done of my daughter. She insisted that I do it even though I was going through a difficult time and for this I will forever be grateful. I have since brought my children to have their photos done more regularly with Sandee and they have turned out perfect. She has the ability to snap the photos at just the perfect time so that they reflect their personalities. I would recommend Sandee to anyone that asks and I would never have a doubt that they would not be satisfied.

RUDE! I won a free…read moresitting from WGP. My contact person was Sandra. From the beginning, emails conversations was tense. She was less than thrilled she was doing a give away. The way I see it, is that the give away in the hope that this new (free) customer is going to fall in love with your work and want to hire you for other jobs. So it's in your best interests to play nice and give good customer service. When I explain the shots were for my small children and one teenager and they were for Easter. She wasn't so thrilled. She wanted these shots done during the day on a week day. Which would be fine if they were infants. But they are in preschool and first grade. So taking them out of school wasn't an option. Was told that we had to meet at Alpenrose Dairy farm/campus. And if I was a little bit late, she would leave. Well we showed up early only to discover that campus is HUGE! We had no idea where to meet her. So I called her. She wasn't happy about that. Told us to meet her at the gazebo. She knew that we would have 3 kids with us. We stood out in the cold waiting for her to show up. When she did she walked right past us! Mind you we are the only ones out in this HUGE yard and only one gazebo. She wandered around and then came back and walked pasted us again! Then turned around and asked if we were her party. My husband had brought his camera because we usually take a camera with us places. We were taking pictures of the flowers and trees and such. When she came up to us, the first thing she said was "What do you think this is some sort of camera workshop?" I couldn't believe what she said! I said "Excuse me?" She was rude to my kids. Keep on calling my teenager "little boy". The kids were uncomfortable with her. She took only a few shoots and then said, "that's it" and turn around and left. No goodbye. No email the next day saying we are processing your shoots. Zero communication. So I emailed her wanting to know where the Easter proofs were so I could have them in time for Easter. Only to get an email from her stating they were closed from Thursday - Tuesday. 6 days, really! So needless to say, I didn't get my shots in time for Easter. So the following week we I get an email with a link for the proofs. There were only 4 shots to choose from. That was it. And they were not good. She touched up one of the photos so much they didn't even look like my kids. Thinking the other shots may look better without the ink stamp on it, I selected one. At check out there was a fee. I email her and told her I had selected my free photo. Never did hear back from her. The whole thing was a waste of our time. I'm so grateful that I didn't spend any money on this company. Lucky for us we did get some shots of the kids with our camera and they turned out great. So it was be a NO hire this company. The photography is bad but worst of all the rudeness from Sandra was over the top. NEVER IN THE MILLION YEARS WOULD I HIRE HER.

From the moment I contacted her as a possible photographer for my wedding I knew this was who I wanted, and trusted for my big day. Her style is what I would describe as whimsical and magical, somehow finding the perfect of incorporating natural surroundings and the people who are in the shot--making everything seem like something straight out on a PNW fairytale. Before we officially booked with Ellie my fiance and I met her for coffee. We had a nice chat about what we thought was important to capture for our wedding. She completely understood what we wanted to focus on, and her vibe was one that put us at ease. Immediately we knew that if we booked with Ellie we wouldn't have to worry about anything. Business-wise Ellie is very responsive. She got back to me right away every time I had a question about anything. For engagement photos she sent me a email that had helpful suggestions and hints in terms of ideas to wear, and what to expect for day. She also walked the venue with us and got the input of a few different locations that we would like to have pictures taken at. Working with both Ellie and Will have been fantastic and I can honestly refer them to anyone needing photography of any kind.

Her guidance made me feel so much more comfortable with my camera and helped me understand how to make the photos I captured the best they could be during the editing process. Investing in Alonya's help is one of the best things I've done for myself in years, and I would encourage anyone who loves their camera but feels a bit nervous, hesitant, or confused to just reach out to Alonya already! Since completing our mentorship sessions, I have had the confidence to offer photoshoots to complete strangers! I walked up to a mother and her baby in the park and offered to take photos on the spot. She said yes and loved the pictures I sent her later. And just the other day, I did a photoshoot for a woman and her elderly dog, and she was so appreciative of the experience and the captured memories. Now, I feel more confident than ever about my ability to make a positive impact with my photography. Thank you, Alonya, for all your wisdom and support.

All of this was extremely helpful given that we were unfamiliar with the area and did not have experience doing a photography session before.
