About Altura Studio

Altura Studio

People say to me all the time: “You're so lucky. You get to go to weddings all the time." They're right. We are lucky. We get to be among people having a great time, looking and feeling their best and participating in what is often the most important day in someone's life.

Here’s the other thing we are lucky to see: the terrific style and creativity that our clients bring to their celebrations. If there is one thing we’ve learned while photographing weddings, it is that a wedding doesn’t have to be expensive to be lovely. We dedicate our blog to sharing the terrific ideas that we’ve seen before and will see this coming season, with a focus on ideas that are simple, elegant and stylish.

Every image in this blog is shot by us at events we've photographed. So, we say "thank you" to our clients who have shared their warmth and happiness with us.

Our studio is centrally located but a little tricky to find. We’re sandwiched in a tiny triangle literally just west of I-5, north of the Rose Quarter Stadium and east of the giant Portland Schools maintenance facility. The studio is located in an unmarked tan building with black metal gate and door. Look for the big, black, “265” over the door. During business hours the door is unlocked, come on inside.
