Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Two Hearts different from other Portland wedding photographers?
Two Hearts blends editorial artistry with real, unscripted emotion. We don’t just take photos—we tell stories through cinematic lighting, natural direction, and the tiny moments that feel like you. Our team has photographed weddings across Oregon and beyond, from the vineyards of Willamette Valley to destination celebrations under the Italian sun.
How do I choose between the Together, Forever, and Forever Forever packages?
Think of our packages as chapters in your story:
Together ($399) captures the now—perfect for engagements or anniversary portraits.
Forever ($3,200) documents your entire wedding day in timeless detail.
Forever Forever ($5,500) gives you the full experience, from engagement to sparkler exit (and maybe a brunch session the next morning).
Not sure which fits? Two Hearts will help you find the perfect match based on your timeline, coverage, and creative goals.
Does Two Hearts offer wedding videography too?
Yes! Two Hearts offers cinematic wedding films as an optional add-on to any photography package. Each film is edited into a 3–5 minute highlight reel that captures the movement, laughter, and sound of your day—the perfect companion to your photos.
Can I add video to the Forever or Forever Forever packages later?
Absolutely. If you fall in love with the idea after booking, Two Hearts can add a videographer to your package anytime before your wedding date. We’ll handle everything—from coordination to editing—so your video and photos feel cohesive and cinematic.

We’re planning a destination wedding. Do you travel?
Yes—passport ready. Two Hearts loves destination weddings, whether it’s the Oregon Coast, Yosemite, or a villa in Tuscany. Travel fees vary depending on distance and logistics, but we keep things simple and transparent. If you book Forever Forever, your travel consultation is included.
How far in advance should we book Two Hearts?
For peak season in Portland (May through October), we recommend reserving your date 9–12 months in advance. Destination weddings may need even more lead time. Smaller sessions like Together can often be booked within a few weeks.
What’s included in the Together session?
Together is our signature 90-minute portrait experience—crafted for couples, families, and future brides and grooms. You’ll get expert guidance on lighting, posing, and wardrobe, plus a private online gallery. Best part? You’ll receive exclusive savings when you later book a wedding collection.
How long will it take to receive our wedding photos?
Your private online gallery will be ready within 6–8 weeks of your wedding day. Together session galleries arrive faster—usually within 2 weeks. Each image is hand-edited by the Two Hearts team to ensure your story is beautifully cohesive.
Do you shoot film photography?
Yes, film is available as a luxury add-on for couples who want that nostalgic depth only analog can give. Two Hearts uses professional medium-format film, processed and scanned by top U.S. labs. It’s an art form—and a beautiful complement to your digital gallery.
Can we meet before booking?
Definitely. Two Hearts offers virtual consultations for Portland locals and destination couples alike. It’s a chance to share your story, talk through vision boards, and see if our personalities align (spoiler: they usually do).How long will it take to receive our wedding photos?
