COAST-LOVING Tacoma PHOTOGRAPHER, MOTHER, & ANTIQUE COLLECTOR
Hi, I'm Lena
There’s something about timeless views, playful reflections of light, and the salty air of the coast that stirs up a part of yourself that can’t help but be drawn to unhurried, intentional days.
I’m Lena, a Tacoma wedding and family photographer who wants you to feel just like that — carving out memories, taking photos with no time limit, and feeling right at home. You’ll miss these moments one day, and I won’t let them pass by.
Meet Lena
I use photography to instill warmth in the lives of others and, in response, I’ve received some of the most heartwarming reviews.

Motherhood
I’ve taken everything into consideration — the time that often seems to run out, the stress of finding outfits and the one question you almost always push to the side — will this be worth it? By taking care of these needs, and more, you’ll not only find yourself settling effortlessly, into the moment, but you’ll also walk away with timeless artwork to display in your home, and pass down as the years go by.
"So patient and so talented! I'm chomping at the bit to see more!"
A big, huge shout out to our official photographer, Lena Porter! So patient and so talented! I'm chomping at the bit to see more! Throughout the wedding she could be seen quietly looking around, choosing the perfect moment to snap and capture... Like a waltz, moving with the rhythm of the party.

Where are you based?
I’m a Tacoma photographer. Home is Olympia, WA and a majority of my work takes place in the Seattle area and throughout the Pacific Northwest. I take on a limited number of destination weddings both nationally and internationally each year. Get in touch to book your date!
When should we book our wedding?
As soon as you have a set date and venue, most couples reach out 12 – 18 months in advance. I take on a very limited number of weddings each year to stay creative and ensure my couples get the attention to detail required to produce the caliber of work seen in my portfolio.
When will we receive our gallery?
After your wedding I will back up your images and hand edit a sneak peek for you to share within 48 hours. Within 8 weeks of your wedding your full gallery will be delivered with your album design proof. Custom artwork and albums will be designed at this time and delivered within 6 weeks.
How many photos will we receive?
As a fine art wedding photographer my focus is alway quality over quantity. My goal is a gallery of curated images that tell the story of your day instead of throwing an overwhelming amount of images at you. Looking through my full galleries is the best way to learn what to expect.
What is your style of photography?
Fine art wedding photography with a focus on documentary coverage and an editorial twist. During your portraits I’ll pose and direct you to ensure you get the most flattering photos but throughout the day you’ll see me quietly documenting moments as they happen.
How much time do we need for photos?
My commision starts at 8 hours of coverage and range from full day to multi-day affairs. I also offer collections a la carte to fit your needs; timelines and coverage are something we will go over during our consultation and also collaborate with your planner on.
