Romantic Weddings

Timeless Love, Captured as Eternal Art

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” —Maya Angelou

Your wedding day is the most important day of your life—the one moment you want frozen in time with breathtaking beauty, genuine emotion, and effortless elegance. In an age where everyone has a camera, hiring a professional wedding photographer isn’t about quantity of photos; it’s about quality that lasts forever—stunning, handcrafted artworks that you’ll cherish, display, and pass down for generations.

While Portland Pin-Ups is renowned for our signature pin-up glamour, our founder Mike Long brings over 25 years of elite portrait experience, having captured more than 200 weddings with the same artistry and care. Today, he intentionally limits himself to just five exclusive wedding commissions per season, ensuring your day receives undivided attention, creativity, and personalization.

Why Choose Mike Long for Your Wedding?

Artistic Mastery — You want stunning portraits that capture the magic, not thousands of snapshots. Mike’s background in advertising and commercial retouching (pre-Photoshop pioneer) delivers gallery-worthy results every time.
Unmatched Experience — Over 200 weddings photographed, professional training, and the wisdom to handle any weather, timeline hiccup, or family dynamic with calm confidence.
Fun & Relaxed Vibe — Bridal parties (especially groomsmen!) actually enjoy the process. Mike’s gentle guidance and warm energy make everyone feel at ease, letting real personalities and joy shine through.
Heirloom Albums, Not Digital Overload — No overwhelming disc of unedited files. Every image is meticulously retouched into polished artworks, beautifully presented in a custom album you’ll proudly display for years.
Exclusive & Personalized — With only five weddings per season, your day gets the full focus it deserves—no rushing, no cookie-cutter approach.

(And yes, the charming English accent is a bonus—Grandma will adore it, even if she doesn’t catch every word!)

Why Not the Cheapest Option?

Weddings are full of one-day splurges—dress, venue, flowers, catering. Photography is the investment that endures. Choose the professional who treats your love story as fine art, not a commodity. Your memories deserve the Ferrari, not the Prius.

Wedding commissions begin at $6000, tailored to your vision.

Your love story is extraordinary. Let’s capture it as the timeless masterpiece it deserves to be.
