I'm Nick Bondarev, your wedding photographer and proud dog dad, based in the enchanting city of Portland, Oregon, and available worldwide. You’ll mostly find me exploring the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest with my pup, Alaska, who is the center of my universe. I have a passion for preserving life’s most meaningful moments and turning them into timeless memories.

As a hopeless romantic, I fell in love with candid wedding photography because it allows me to document the purest form of human connection—the love between two people. Every love story is unique and adventurous, and I consider it an absolute privilege to be a part of your special day. I'm here to capture all the genuine emotions—the laughter, the tears, and those unforgettable moments that will tell your love story for generations to come.

I started my career over 15 years ago and spent a big part of it working as a documentary photographer and filmmaker, creating stories all over the world—from Antarctica to the North Pole. With this experience, I can guarantee that no moment of your special day will be missed. :)
