About

You deserve damn good photos. Let me help you with that.

I'm Marcela Pulido and I'm a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon that specializes in documentary style storytelling for a fun, stress-free day!

I have a modern approach to capturing timeless images; seamlessly blending easy directional posing, candid moments, and artistric portraiture. My photography style is romantic and nostalgic... with a dash of grit.

Weddings are all about bringing your community together to celebrate. Whether you see that happening as a giant multi-day festival type of event or an intimate backyard wedding or even an outdoorsy elopement with an epic landscape, I'm down for it all. From the sentimental first look to the laughter-filled toasts and everything in between, these are the kind of moments that deserve to be captured. Bellyaching laughter and tear-stained cheeks… this isn't about those super posed, stiff moments, nah. I'm talking about real love. Yeah, I’ll capture that.

In my spare time I'm binge watching bad tv shows, probably playing Mass Effect for the millionth time, and taking my dog Rupert out on lengthy walks around my Portland neighborhood. I like eating Mexican food because it reminds me of home, drinking mezcal, and seeing live music. I do what I can to help support the local BIPOC community as best as I can and strive to be inclusive and diverse in my portfolio. All the couples I show are real, madly in love people ...just like you! Check out the Vendors of Color Directory while you're at it, I made that and I'm pretty dang proud of it!

So here I am. I'm Marcela and I'd love to take your photo.

Incredible

Marcela is the best around! She photographed our pre-wedding and wedding in Maui. We are blown away by the photographs she took. They are beautiful candids with some staged photos (that don’t appear staged). She captured each moment perfectly. Now we are able to re-live our wedding and all the emotions every time we look at them. Thank you Marcela! You are INCREDIBLE!

Marcela is incredible. We waited a bit longer to book a photographer for our wedding and Marcela was recommended to us by a couple of other photographers who were booked for our date. After looking through her portfolio, we knew she was the photographer we wanted. Her pictures are expressive and real and the uniqueness of the pictures stands out. Flipping through her pictures, you can see that they are true to the people and places in them. She has an eye for scenery and positioning, and the way she plays with lighting and shadows is incredible. That is my favorite part of our pictures...hands down! Most importantly, Marcela was incredibly patient, and brought the perfect amount of sternness to help wrangle people, while also being so kind and fun to work with. I am still amazed at all of the angles and perfect moments that she captured, especially working on her own! I'd highly, highly recommend Marcela and smile knowing that she'll always be a part of our wedding memories.
