The best photographer!

Xiomara from Imago Dei Photography truly made our wedding day unforgettable. From the moment we met her, her energy and professionalism shone through, making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. She expertly guided us, capturing the most beautiful moments effortlessly. What stood out the most was her invaluable expertise with Oregon's coastal scenery, which added a special touch to our photos since we were from out of town.

Not only did Xiomara make us, our wedding party, and guests feel special, but she also ensured everyone had a fantastic time from the wedding party photos to family photos to the reception . Her seamless communication and attention to detail were top-notch, making the whole experience joyful and fun.

We are incredibly grateful for Xiomara's dedication and the stunning photos she provided. Thank you for being the key to our special day!

Absolutely Amazing

There’s not enough words to express how thankful we were to have Xiomara document our wedding day. She made everything run so smoothly with the timeline that she made for us after telling her our wishes. The day was such a wonderful day and she made my entire wedding party and us feel so at ease. Not to mention that our photos are just complete gems! I cannot wait to fill every inch of our house with them and remember this amazing day.

Xiomara is amazing

I could not have picked a better photographer for our day. Xiomara was a huge part of planning our wedding and it would not have been the perfect day that it was without her. I cannot recommend her enough. Hire her. You will have no regrets

A Photographer You Can 100% Trust to Perfectly Capture Your Lifelong Memories

We chose Imago Dei Photography to photograph our wedding and WOW did Xiomara deliver with some captivating photos! Xiomara genuinely loves seeing the joy and happiness in her clients. The passion behind her work is evident in the way she beautifully captures all moments. She's only one woman but you'd think she secretly brought a whole team of photographers the way she doesn't let a single important moment slip by unphotographed! We especially loved the talent Xiomara has for using any surrounding landscape, turning the wedding photos into stunning pieces of art. No repetitive, stiff, or boring pics in sight. We ended up ordering some professional prints and leather-bound photo albums for ourselves and as gifts to our parents through Imago Dei Photography as well - everything turned out very high quality with tons of customizable options. Xiomara is a photographer that's highly skilled and creative, professional, organized, and genuinely fun to work with. She's given us photos to cherish for a lifetime!

Amazing Experience

Xiomara was amazing throughout the entire planning process and day of the wedding. We are so happy with our decision to work with her. She was very professional and was always prepared every time we met. All of our photos turned out so beautifully and she captured all of our special moments without even realizing they were being photographed. As someone who isn't the most comfortable being the center of attention and unsure of what to do in front of the camera, she helped me feel at ease being photographed. She coached us to make sure we got the most natural and romantic photos. I would highly recommend her and would work with her again!

Xiomara was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible to our needs. We felt very relaxed in her capable hands!

Since we had a destination wedding with no relatives, quality pictures were very important to use. Xiomara exceeded our expectations with her photos. She captured the best highlights of our special day!

very professional and made us feel comfortable.

Xiomara booked us kind of last minute after my original photographer had to cancel. We are so grateful for her willingness to take us!! She made our wedding feel so natural and her work truly shows it. She was a joy to work with, and her personality and style brought an amazing spirit to our special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
