Hello! I’m Stephen, a photojournalist wedding photographer with a thousand weddings under my belt. Sometimes I feel as much a sociologist as a photographer, because I’ve seen just about every style and culture of wedding you can imagine.

I pride myself on being a keen observer of people and weddings, and knowing when an emotional, funny, or memorable moment might be coming, so we can have the camera to our eye when the moment happens, and then is gone in a blink of an eye. Photojournalistic wedding photography is all about the ability to anticipate moments before they happen…. often the best memories and moments at a wedding are unplanned, and only happen for a split second and then they are gone. In wedding photography, timing is everything!

Located in inner SE Portland, I travel all over Oregon, Washington, and offer Destination Weddings.

I'd love to hear about your Wedding Story!

-Stephen

Make One Easy Decision and Pick This Photographer

My wife Alex and I planned the wedding day without realizing that it was a nightmare for a photographer. We had indoor/outdoor locations. A party bus as transportation. A bright sun lit vineyard as the ceremony location. So basically 4 completely different environments all with many moving targets and Stephen did an outstanding job. I could not have asked for better service from start to finish. Onetime, positive outlook and environment, flexible yet made sure we got the shots we wanted, worked with our guests to make them feel special (those that wanted to be diva for the day, and those that are nervous in front of the lens). Bottom line is I can't say enough about the service from start to finish and couldn't recommend him more. Made a special day all that better. - Thanks from Chris and Alex

Great Experience

Stephen was recommended by Lakeside Gardens for our wedding. Despite of the cloudy and rainy weather on our wedding day, Stephen did a fantastic job making our pictures as "Picture Perfect"! He captured every moment that can relived this special day for me and my husband. Definittely will hire him again and recommended 110%!

Great experience!

Stephen made the whole process of photo shoot so smooth and easy for us, even though that was our first photo shoot ever. He was so flexible with our schedule and so responsible. We couldn't be any luckier! As a result we have gorgeous pictures and wonderful memories about our special day.

Weber Wedding

Stephen is amazing to work with! He photographed our wedding 10/14 and he was so easy going and calm. We had a great time and appreciated all of his helpful insight and advice. Can’t wait to see our photos!

Thank you so much Stephen for everything!

Best,

Mr. & Mrs. Weber

Remembrance Photography

Stephen was very responsive, professional and well experienced. We had a big wedding planned but due to Covid we had to change our plans. He was very accomodating and patient with us as we figured it out. We are very happy with our photos. During a wedding show, last year we picked him out of other photographers due to his ability to capture the feelings of the people in the photos. He takes your normal posed pics but he also takes spur of the moment pics which are sometimes better. We highly recommend him!

We loved working with Stephen Hamilton last summer for our August wedding at Laurelhurst Park. He captured several gorgeous shots of us starting with a "first look" in the park and then documented everything after that as the day unfolded. If you're looking for a reliable, creative and kind photographer, we highly recommend Remembrance Photography.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
