About
On WeddingWire since 2019
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!
I am based in Salem, Oregon, but work predominately in Portland and the coast, and other destination areas in Oregon. I specialize in intimate weddings and elopements, but am happy to do bigger weddings as well.
My style is emotive, candid and romantic. I am committed to working with clients who are madly in love and want to capture those feelings! I work to create a genuine, welcoming and comfortable environment where you can be yourselves, and your connection can be captured. I truly believe that each couples love story is beautiful.
Most days you’ll find me at home with my daughter Lola, building forts for dinosaurs, or hiking or at the beach. I love super strong coffee, and making new cocktails! I look forward to meeting you and fully celebrating your wedding day with you!

Taylor B. Married on 12/21/2021Wonderful to Work With!
Mary originally did our engagement photos back in 2018, and we loved her so much, she was our first choice for wedding photographer! She is easy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I love all the photos she's taken of us and am so thankful we chose her to capture our memories.
Mary is easy to get ahold of, more than reasonably priced, and she delivers photos timely (she had our preview photos the next day!).Mary Berrien Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Taylor! It was amazing to be a part of your gorgeous winter wedding at one of my favorite places. You and David are definitely meant to be! I love your mysterious foggy pictures so much 😍😍😍 -

Emily Married on 08/21/2021
So happy we went with Mary for our wedding!!
Mary shot our wedding August 21, 2021, and if we could go back in time, we'd hire her again every single time! She went way beyond our expectations both in her craft and her amiability. She was professional and clearly knew her stuff, but was also so approachable and fun to hang out with. She was a seamless extension to our special day. Oh! And she sent us sneak peaks THE VERY NEXT DAY which is huge, and the photos we've seen so far are just pure magic. She didn't just capture the events of the day, she captured the feelings of the day, and that's exactly what we hoped for. Plus she convinced us to do the first look and that was a great addition and we're so glad we did it. 10/10 would recommend Mary!-

Mariah K. Married on 07/17/2021Awesome Experience!
Logan and I had a really great experience working with Mary! Our wedding was quite a bit bigger than her norm, but she was willing to work with us and did such a beautiful job. She was very enjoyable to work with and super helpful with the process leading up to the wedding. We could not be happier with the photos!! Highly recommend Mary Berrien Photography!-

Jessica E. Married on 05/15/2021Outstandingly helpful and great quality
My now husband and I are extremely awkward. We don’t do well with staged pictures. Mary took both of engagement and wedding photos. Starting with the engagement photos she found a location that was not only a place my husband and I love but a place that photographs well. She made the process go well, playing fun music and having us relax and act natural. The pictures came out great! We stayed in touch she helped me craft a timeline for day of. She send an adorable email the day before calming my nerves. We’ve not received all of our wedding photos yet, but the ones we do have are amazing! She did a great job capturing us and our guests.
I highly recommend her for all of your photography needs. I can’t imagine anyone else for our big moments.Mary Berrien Photography's reply:
😭😭😍😍
Jessica! Thank you so so much for this! It means the world to me that I was able to be what you hoped for in a photographer! I had such a fun time with you guys, and I’m in love with your photos! Can’t wait to deliver your gallery!!! -

Annie C. Married on 05/14/2021Wonderful experience!
Mary is amazing to work with and she is so talented. Our pictures turned out beautiful and she was great working around our large wedding party and even larger families.
I was lucky to be able to experience her work in advance with my sister-in-law's wedding and his family's photoshoot. She was great then and she was great for our wedding too.
You absolutely should choose Mary! She is incredible!Mary Berrien Photography's reply:

Brian D. Married on 07/03/2020Simply the Best
I don't even know where to begin!
Mary Berrien went above and beyond the call of duty to capture our wedding.
The wedding we had originally planned pre Covid was a 300 person affair with guests traveling from all over the world; but when a global pandemic changes your plans you have to adapt. It turned into a backyard event with 15 guests and countless others on zoom - Mary was there to capture every wonderful moment for us.
Mary came highly recommended from an old friend who really helped us out in our hour of need. When plans continued to evolve due to the changing tides of the restrictions Mary rolled with the punches and continued to be a fantastic person to work with. Changing locations back and forth and back again didn't phase her in the slightest.
She was a joy to work with and took a couple who usually doesn't take great pictures together and gave us some amazing memories we'll cherish forever.
Whenever we are able to celebrate how we originally planned, Mary Berrien will be there again to capture those moments as well.
Mary Berrien Photography's reply:
Brian!!
You’re killing me 😭😭
It was SO fun to work with you and Leah. You were genuinely one of the kindest, most easy to work with couples ever.
I can’t wait to see you for your big party when we can! -

We are so happy we chose Mary to do our elopement pictures. She was very accommodating and kind. She made two people who feel awkward in front of the camera feel comfortable and she got so many amazing pictures. She caught so many moments in the day that we’re glad to be able to look back on forever.Mary Berrien Photography's reply:

Hi!
I'm so happy you're here!
I'm Mary, and I think I have the best job in the world. I get to see people on the happiest day of their lives! I get to capture all your emotion and love and connection and it's so amazing to experience.
i've been a photographer since the days of film cameras (yikes- that definitely dates me). But I've always loved the art of it- how you can capture one fleeting expression, maybe that you wouldn't even notice in real life, but now that expression is there forever. And in that moment you see how much love exists.
I'm a mama to one sweet 4 year old, Lola. We have a gray and white kitten named Kiwi. We love going to the beach (not Kiwi) even on cold days and experiecing the rugged beauty of this Oregon Coast. I also do floral design (I've made a ton of bridal bouquets!) and my good friend lets me help her on her flower farm. We love Hawaii, and can't ever wait to get back. I love yoga, pottery, reading, road trips, and travel in general.
I pour my heart and soul into each wedding, so I love when we can mutually appreciate each other. It really shows in the photos. It's an honor each time someone chooses me.
My favorites are elopements and intimate weddings. To me, there's an extra layer of sentimentality in those, because they are so couple focused, rather than guest focused. All wedddings are special, but those really have my heart. I've also had the best time of my life at some of the biggest Mexican weddings- so full of dancing and laughter and tradition.
I'm always looking for new experiences, so please reach out if you have any questions.
