Hello, I’m Jay Cid
I’m a Portland, Oregon wedding photographer who travels anywhere, but what matters most to me isn’t just how your wedding looks. It’s about having an experience that you’ll always remember.
Every couple I work with brings something different into their day. Their own emotions, their own reactions, their own version of love, and none of it happens quite the same way twice.
I never want your wedding day to feel staged. I make sure I stay present, I stay quiet when I need to, and I let your day unfold the way it actually happens, not the way it’s “supposed” to. And from that approach, you’re not thinking about where to stand or how to pose.
You’re just living it. Laughing, crying, being fully in it. And the photos hold onto that.
Couples tell me how it felt working together, they felt comfortable instead of self conscious, forgetting the camera was even there, and by the end of the day, feeling like they got to just be present in their own wedding. That’s the whole point.
If you’re planning a wedding or elopement, here in the Pacific Northwest, in Hawaii, or anywhere else your story takes you, and you want a photographer focused on capturing what’s real, I’d love to connect.
I'm excited to help capture your cherished moments
