Portland Photographer - couples, elopements & beyond
Welcome to Wild + Tame Photo — a Portland photographer and studio for couples, creatives, and brands who want photos with personality. From intimate elopements around the PNW to bold studio portraits at our North Portland space, I capture the real, the wild, and the wonderfully weird. If you’re looking for a Portland photographer who keeps things fun and stress-free, you’re in the right place.
I'm Katie - your too cool for school Portland photographer who believes the best photos happen when you're having a good time! No stiff poses, no awkward "what do I do with my hands?" energy. Just easy direction, genuine moments, and photos that feel alive.
Based in my North Portland studio I shoot everything from creative portraits to couples sessions, elopements and brand content. Available worldwide, I've photographed weddings and elopements in some dope places like Italy, Scotland, Mexico, and Ireland - and am so grateful for those amazing opportunities!

A little bit about me
I believe in the small moments being just as important as the big ones. The little moments in between. The grandma whispering a wish into your ear, mom goofing off while walking down the aisle, dad being dad, your friend holding your hand while you get ready to see your partner... those are my favorite. It's the little, probably imperfect moments that make my heart melt and I think they'll be the ones you want in that photo album to look through years from now. If you're not into that, I'm probably not for you and that's a-ok!
I have photographed intimate weddings and elopements all over the world. From California, to Colorado, to Ireland, and Italy. No place is too far and no celebration too small. I've lived in some dope places too, Ireland was my favorite! Let's adventure together, and yes... a tiny court house wedding is as much an adventure as that insane mountain elopement is.
"Katie is the BEST!! My wife and I did a couples shoot with her prior to our wedding day shoot and she's got some awesome range as a photographer: both casual and intimate shoots. She brings the best out of a photography session: the laughs and love. Typically people feel as though working with a photographer is something like high school picture day (awkward and stale) but that is far from the truth when working with Katie. You ever meet someone and it feels like you're reconnecting with an old friend that you didn't know how much you missed dearly? That's what it feels like every time we are lucky enough to work with her. I will be recommending her to ALL of my friends and family because she's part of it!" - Vince H.
