WANDER WITH US

We’re a husband and wife storytelling duo based in Portland, Oregon- capturing heartfelt moments, everyday beauty, and the good kind of chaos.

We travel throughout Oregon, Washington, and anywhere your story takes us- from your living room to the forest to the PNW coast.

We’re here to document the moments that matter-the real, the tender, the beautifully imperfect-you barefoot in the backyard with your kids, holding your newborn in the stillness of the morning, wildly in love with your person, and all the stories in between.

For 16 years, we’ve been drawn to the natural light and beauty of the Pacific Northwest, telling stories with authenticity, warmth, and joy.

At Alacrity, we blend the nostalgia of 35mM/120 film with the clarity of digital, creating honest, emotive imagery that's true to color and uniquely yours.

Whether we're in your home or exploring somewhere wild, we follow your rhythm, documenting your life as it unfolds.


Wander with us, wherever your story lives.

Testimonials

Alacrity is patient and great with kids, including my energetic son.


“I just did a mother-son photo shoot with my 3.5-year-old at Jenkins Estate and I'm so happy with the results! Alacrity Photography is incredibly patient and great with kids, helping my son feel relaxed and have fun during the session. We got amazing prints that are truly precious memories for me! Her professional tips on poses made us look our best, and I loved capturing natural moments of us laughing together. All moms know how important it is to have photos with their kids. I highly recommend scheduling a session so you don’t miss out on these wonderful memories!”

Hidden Moments


“Ashley and Bryan are masters of their craft, and really just wonderful people. As seasoned wedding photographers, they were able to go above  and beyond the typical role, offering guidance where we needed it. With them on board, the photography was one item we were able to be  completely worry-free about. What a fantastic experience it was working  with this talented husband and wife duo! Working as a team, they were able to capture many hidden moments just as well as all of the big ones. The end result of their creative process has left us with beautiful, artistic memories which we will enjoy forever.”

Testimonials

Ashley and Bryan did a session for my kids and I.

It was absolutely the best experience we've ever had.


 "My kids and I have been doing family pictures since my first born. So at least 12 years worth of pictures. When they did our pictures it was our first year in Oregon.
We are originally from Louisiana, so we were scared of trying a new photographer. Our first photo shoot here by another photographer was okay. I never really cared for poses. I prefer candid pictures. Ashley and Bryan was following all three kids and our pup around for few hours just snapping at EVERYTHING. We got to explore and enjoy the coast naturally without having to feel like we stopped for pictures. My kids enjoyed them so much and they said that was best photo shoot they've had.
Ashley and Bryan will for sure be our go to photographers for all events from here on out. If you truly want a true experience of having pictures taken without feeling pressure, definitely choose them!!!”
