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.

YOUR STORY.

Kim is amazing!

Kim was such a delight to work with for photographing our wedding. From the beginning, she was prompt and straightforward in communications. We appreciated her giving input when we were creating our day-of timeline. She was such a delight to have at our wedding and it was so easy to trust her. She told us exactly what to expect regarding timing of photo delivery and she was right on time for both the sneak peak and the full album. And I guess the part that matters the most... we LOVE our photos. The shots and the editing were exactly what we'd hope for. We cannot recommend Kim enough!!

The Perfect Photographer with a Great Eye and Warm Personality!

Kim is amazing! She has such a great eye and somehow manages to be everywhere capturing the best moments while staying completely in the background. She’s never intrusive, just quietly works her magic.

She’s also a super fun, kind person with a great sense of humor. Kim has this wonderful ability to put you at ease, make you laugh, and capture the most natural, joyful moments. She loves surprises and spontaneity, which makes her photos feel so genuine and full of life.

We absolutely loved working with Kim and couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s everything you want in a photographer!

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.

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!

I think the word that best describes Kim's work is "magical." And the beauty of it is nothing is contrived, she finds magic in real life. Every single photo Kim gave us glows with the magic of sincere moments -- interactions shared, emotions expressed, and spontaneous happenings. From a practical standpoint, Kim is the unobtrusive ninja, capturing every moment without disturbing the organic flow of things. But from an artistic standpoint, Kim's work is above and beyond the average wedding photographer. She knows composition, light, color, she knows how to edit, and she has eye that is so remarkable! Each photo is so rich, it can stand alone as it's own piece. In the end, what Kim does is capture the beauty of what it means to get married.

When making vendor decisions, I hesitated to hire on out-of-state photographer, but in the end it was on of the best decisions I made. Kim truly captured the essence of our wedding day, and that to me was priceless.

As father of the bride I can only thank Kim for the wonderful job she did. I know my daughter is extremely happy about the creativity Kim brought to the process. I was very impressed with her hard work as she was everywhere taking shots for hours. She utilized Camp Namanu's scenery extremely well. Her preliminary slide show is amazing and evidence of her quality work! Thank you Kim. Lara's dad
