CARRIE SCHLECHT

My name is Carrie
CANDID COUPLES & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
I believe the best photographs aren’t the perfectly posed ones. They’re the ones that instantly take you back to how it all felt. The way you looked at each other when you thought I wasn’t shooting. The ridiculous laughing. The quiet in-between moments. The wind, the movement, and all the little pieces of the two of you that can’t be staged.
Whether we’re wandering Cannon Beach, exploring the Columbia River Gorge, or chasing beautiful light somewhere around Portland or Southwest Washington, your session should feel more like an adventure together than a photoshoot.
I’ll give you direction when you need it, but I’m never going to spend an hour forcing you into stiff poses. My job is to create space for you to actually be yourselves and photograph what happens in between.
Whether these are simply photographs of this season of your life or the beginning of your wedding story, I want you to walk away with images that feel unmistakably like you.
PORTLAND & COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS BECOME THE HEIRLOOMS THAT OUTLIVE THE DAY
Your engagement deserves more than beautiful photographs — it deserves to be remembered exactly how it felt. I create candid, cinematic engagement photography for couples throughout Portland, the Columbia River Gorge, Cannon Beach, and Southwest Washington, preserving the laughter, movement, quiet moments, and connection that make your story yours.
Feel the love through the stories I’ve had the honor of documenting.

"This was my first time at The Griffin House and to Hood River and it left such a lasting impression. This place is pure magic, a true hidden gem. It even has a little wooden swing hung from one of the beautiful trees. This place is described by many as a unique, breathtaking, expansive and yet intimate setting. It is unlike any other venue in the area with its charm and versatility."
