About

I'm Kim Smith-Miller, a Portland Wedding Photographer. I take pride in my job as not only photographer, but also storyteller, and produce work that is both fun and honest. My style has been described as organic, modern and photojournalistic, with an emphasis on non-intrusive documentary. Your wedding and portrait sessions with me are always non-traditional, non-formulaic and 100% awesome.

You know that feeling when you never want to put down your favorite book? Well, I love a good story -- especially one with lotsof pictures and a happy ending. My photos pull you into their world by focusing on all the little details that tend to get lost in the mad dash to the altar. From the flicker of your dress in the wind, a bashful glance up just before saying "I do," to your killer moves on the dance floor.

It's all an important part of the story.

Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

Kim is absolutely amazing! She is a joy to work with and the images she captured are beautiful. We are able to relive our day through the artistry of her photography, so our memories will last a lifetime.

Kim took my proposal pictures. She helped me coordinate everything to the minute. Kim even went to the place to prep a few days beforehand. I was thoroughly impressed by her communication skills and timeliness.

She was so gracious to seek out the best vantage points in the garden and send them too me for approval.

I was nervous and shaking. My girlfriend and I were getting lost in the gardens, but Kim was patient to wait at our planned location until I finally got down on one knee.

The pictures turned out wonderfully and her song choice for the slideshow was great too. Overall couldn't be happier with her professionalism and creativity.

Well Kim, you're the best, that's all there is to it. First of all, she's so easy to work with, second, she's super cool, and third, her pictures are gorgeous. We knew we picked the right photographer for our elopement because our first Skype conversation with her was so free and easy and she understood our vision for the day as an intimate and fun gathering for our friends and family. All throughout the planning, she was great as far as communication with us and then on the day of the ceremony, she was exactly the kind of wonderful photographer you'd want in capturing all the special moments -- both staged and spontaneous -- you'd want to remember on your wedding day. In fact, we thought she was so awesome we insisted she stick around for our after-party and we loved having her play pinball and shuffleboard with us to close the evening. Kim, you're the best! Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Love, Jade and Christian

Kim was such a joy to work with! She made me feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera, and honestly she caught so many genuine moments that it didn't feel like I was being staged. Spending the whole day with Kim just felt like hanging out with one of my girlfriends--easy to be around and fun! When she was capturing the group and family photos after the wedding ceremony, it still felt light hearted and like we were celebrating (which was great, because of course we were!) . Throughout the whole day she didn't miss a beat. Post-wedding she was quick to get finished photos back to us and the video photo montage she shared to hold us over in the meanwhile was so beautiful! A year later, we still love reliving our wedding day through the moments she captured. We can't recommend Kim enough!

Kim was absolutely amazing to work with and captured so much of the spirit and detail of our wedding. She is so down to earth and approachable which makes coordinating everyone so much easier. Her ability to capture not just the big moments but the sweet small moments was a wonderful surprise. She is reliable, communicative and executes efficiently. I couldn't believe how fast she was able to get through our portraits while coordinating everyone. I would recommend Kim to anyone!

Kim was an utter delight to work with for our wedding! We had a smaller event and she worked with us to make sure we had the right combination of time and photo products to meet our needs and budget. Planning our shoot with her was a great time and when the day came, it was a total blast--she helped us make the most of our time (and weather) and caught so many special moments at the wedding itself. She has a great eye for truly intimate and beautiful photos. Can't recommend her enough!

My husband and I had the pleasure of attending a wedding Kim was shooting in 2015, during our engagement, and then saw the photos. They were amazing, stunning.... completely captured the feel and energy of the wedding. I promptly came home and reviewed Kim's gallery. I noticed immediately how different each wedding was. Weddings are supposed to be unique to the couple and Kim absolutely captured each wedding in it's own way. I was crying before I had finished looking at all the photos and Ben and I knew that we wanted her to shoot our wedding. The photos are exactly what I wanted without even knowing what I wanted.... if that makes sense. I can't even begin to describe how good our photos turned out. They're priceless. I would recommend Kim again and again.... and again.

Work with Kim!

We found a few of Kim's gallery online and were drawn to her photography style. When we had our first conversation with Kim - she was incredibly friendly, laid-back and easy to work with. We are so happy that Kim was our wedding photographer. She was there for all of the important moments. Her presence felt like a special part of our day. There were 180 people at our wedding, and Kim was somehow able to photograph everybody! We can't recommend working with Kim enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
