OREGON WEDDING AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
FOR SENTIMENTAL PEOPLE & FAMILY STORIES
THAT SPAN GENERATIONS
Oregon wedding and family photographer based in the Willamette Valley, documenting weddings and everyday family life across Portland, the Oregon Coast, and the Pacific Northwest on digital, 35mm film, and Super 8.
Meet Amanda Jae
Based in Oregon, Amanda Jae is a wedding and family photographer working throughout Portland, the Willamette Valley, and the Oregon Coast.
Her work is rooted in observation. Rather than directing every moment, she photographs quietly as things unfold, paying attention to how people settle into a place and into each other over the course of a day.
Working in both digital and 35mm film, her photographs lean slightly nostalgic and a little unpolished, prioritizing presence and atmosphere over polish.
Oregon Wedding and Family Photographer | Super 8 Films
Amanda Jae is an Oregon wedding and family photographer documenting weddings and everyday family life throughout Portland, the Willamette Valley, and the Pacific Northwest.
Documentary-style wedding photography
I have a calm, observant approach that allows the day to unfold naturally. My focus stays on the people, the atmosphere, and the relationships that make the day meaningful.
I’m drawn to intimate weddings, backyard celebrations, elopements, and gatherings centered around the people and relationships that mean the most.
Family photography centered on real life.
I focus family sessions on the rhythms of real family life rather than perfect posing. I see the closeness, the routines, and the ways people naturally interact that make every family unique.
Photographs are made slowly and naturally, often at home, in meaningful or familiar places.
Super 8 films for weddings and family life
Super 8 is an analog motion picture film format that has been used for home movies since the 1960s. The natural grain, movement, and subtle imperfections give the footage a distinct character.
The finished film becomes a small moving record of a moment in time.
“She is so easy to talk to and work with, which is so important when you have never been in front of a camera like that before.”
-Abigail Z.
I work with a mix of digital photography, 35mm film, and Super 8 motion picture film.
Each format has a different personality.
Digital is immediate and versatile.
Film slows things down and adds texture.
Super 8 brings movement and atmosphere that photographs alone can’t quite hold.
Together, they create a record that’s layered and alive
