NICK BONDAREV - WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Based in Portland, Oregon
Your wedding day should feel effortless, fun, and full of real, unforgettable moments. My photography style is a blend of candid moments with beautifully composed shots to create a natural, timeless collection of your wedding day. My editing style reflects light, natural colors, preserving the warmth and authenticity of every moment.
With a documentary approach, I focus on capturing the genuine emotions and spontaneous interactions that make your day special. While I’ll guide you with poses, ideal backdrops, and the best lighting, my goal is to stay in the background, allowing you to fully enjoy the celebration without feeling staged or interrupted.

I only take on 15 weddings a year. This allows me to maintain a personal approach because every love story is special, and I want to do my best to document yours beautifully.
Its been over 15 years since I shoot my first wedding and with this approach I still enjoy being there for you so much.
