I’m Mylyn

a Portland, Oregon based wedding photographer.

I believe in MORE than just pretty photos

There's a reason I still read actual books.

I love the thrill of physically turning each page, seeing my progress through the story and smelling the paper and ink. It's real, it's tangible and it makes me FEEL something.

Our world these days is so fast paced. We scroll through photos and quickly double tap to like a photo that you just LOVE and yet only moments later it's already forgotten.

Your memories deserve more than that.

They deserve to be remembered. To be felt. To be noticed.

To live.

Making your memories tangible is the single greatest gift I could ever give. I specialize in creating that gift so that the photo itself keeps on giving.

Film photography as an art medium is an intentional choice. There's a magic to film. The pastel colors, it's creamy texture——

it looks and feels like a real memory.

Those soft, faded, romantic memories we paint in our minds of the times that are special to us.

IN THE END, IT’S NOT ABOUT THE PICTURES

In order to build the artful, meaningful work I produce, it’s important for me to KNOW you. Working with me means I learn all about the funny inside jokes you have, the way he calms you just by being in the room, her favorite flowers to come home to—-all the nuances that make creating your photos significant.

Throughout our time working together, you’ll never need to question which way to stand, when your photos will be delivered, or if a sentimental moment or item is noticed. I walk you through it all, from start to finish, sprinkling dad jokes here and there while making sure every box is checked. This process you will allow you to feel seen, understood, comfortable and confident. I give you the ability to be fully in the moment on your wedding day, all the hype girl energy you need, and the comfort and confidence of having a well trained professional on your team.

its about the experience

PHOTOS ARE

JUST PIECES OF PAPER

until the artist

transforms it.

the paper just stays

paper.

YOU CAN BLAME MY DAD for my love of film

He traveled the world in his twenties and I devoted hours to staring at the slides from his adventures. I remember, even then, being enthralled with the details. The colors of the film, the wind blowing through his dusty hair, the textures of the fields and the stark, authentic emotions in every face.

Years later I've made it my mission to keep remembering. I want you to remember not just the look of elation on his face when you round the corner but the way your heart overflowed with passion and adoration. I want you to feel your photos, not just see them. Because life's always best when you feel alive.
