About

I've been a photographer in some way or another since I was 15 years old. After the birth of my first child in 2007 I began focusing on my skills again and guest photographed a few friends' weddings. The positive responses I received convinced me to start Sky Blue Iris as a side business and I began looking for clients who wanted a talented and creative photographer who can meet them at or below their budget. I've been working in the wedding business as a photographer since 2009 and after all these years and almost 100 weddings I still believe that photography doesn't have to be a majority of your wedding budget.

I take a simple approach to wedding photography: deliver fun, creative, memorable photography for a price you can live with. My clients receive high resolution digital copies and full printing rights so you can make enlargements, albums and all the copies you want; after all, they're YOUR wedding photos, what am going to do with them? I love to take that extra artistic step to turn the photos from snapshots to works of art. It's with this in mind that I'm striving to be different from your typical wedding photographer.

Please contact me for additional information via email justin@skyblueiris.com or via phone (503) 267-2816

I hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,

Justin Koeppen

    Justin was more then willing to do what we wanted. The pictures he took looked far more amazing then I thought could happen. I would use him again for all our picture needs in the future!

    Working with Justin was the easiest part of our wedding. His service is incredibly affordable; we loved the fact that we got to keep all of our photos at the end without additional costs!! On the day of the wedding, he was a nice, calm presence and had great ideas for beautiful shots. He wasn't overly instructive and allowed us to be ourselves. I personally enjoyed the many angles taken of the ceremony. He was especially a good sport when we requested to have group photos with all of our guests (40 guests in total). After the wedding, the photos came back on a convenient USB drive and were beautifully edited. I would highly recommend SkyBlueIris to anyone needing photos in the Portland area.

    Justin was a great photographer. He did an amazing job with all of the pictures. When looking for a photographer for our wedding, I wanted someone that had an artistic view at a decent price. Justin was the perfect pick for us and I couldn't be happier.

    Justin was wonderful. He's a nice, laid-back guy who is professional and knows what he's doing. He'll ask you questions about how to take your photos that you might not have even thought about yet. Our pictures were beautiful, and he went above and beyond before, during, and after the wedding. I couldn't have picked a better photographer for our big day.

    We can't say enough about how happy we are with Justin! Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely perfect! When we started our search for a photographer we were concerned about finding someone who was easy to get along with, took high quality photos, and was affordable. We were so lucky to have found Justin and Sky Blue Iris Photography!! We highly recommend Justin! He even drove all the way out to the coast to take our engagement photos! Take it from us there is enough to stress about during the wedding planning, so do yourself a favor and book Sky Blue Iris!

    I only wish I could give 10 stars because that is how we felt about Justin. He is fun, professional, and a true artist. He set us at ease on our wedding day, so even the "posed" photos look totally natural. He took total advantage of natural light and color, and captured our best sides - all while we were enjoying our wedding day.

    Justin was amazing to have as a wedding photographer. When I contacted him, he was quick to respond and I remember that he wasnt avalible on my wedding day, but he referred me to someone else and while their portfolio was fine, I just adored Justin's. When I told him this, he was so flexible that he made himself avalible on my special day! He really went the extra mile! When he photographed our engagement session, he was patient with our daughter and even went to multiple locations! On the speical day, he took care to capture the details as well as the big picture. Not a moment was missed! I will forever treasure the pictures he took that day. Two years later and I still get compliments on my pictures! Such a great guy and such a pleasure to work with!

    Justin did an amazing job! He was everywhere at our wedding and I didn't even notice him and it made for the best pictures. He delivered over 400 prints to my house and provided a disk with all the pictures and I am more than pleased with all of it. I highly recommened him for your wedding or any event.

    Justin was awesome! He captured parts of our wedding and receptions that we didn't know had happened! You cannot find a more reasonable, unassuming person, who really saw our wedding and brought out our personalities with ease. He was great to work with, and we got a cd of all our images, as well as prints; folks just don't do that anymore. We are so glad we found Justin, particularly since we planned the wedding long-distance. I could not recommend a vendor more. Great price, and priceless photos of our special day.

    Justin did a wonderful job for us as a photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding. We couldn't be happier with the quality of the photos we received and his prices are amazing!
    We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and I would recommend Justin to any of my friends. He is very easy to work with and 'behind the scenes' - he got some amazing shots without us even knowing he was there. Highly recommended!

    Provided key shots of our wedding that we wanted photos of. Justin did a great job. No one at the wedding even knew I had a professional photographer there during the wedding day. Regret not taking time to get close ups of me and my husband to frame. But our concern was mostly getting the key shots of our cultural ceremonies that day which Justin captured beautifully. Would recommend to every soon to be couple. =)

    Justin was great to work with. He took amazing pictures and offered more services for less money than anyone else I could find. He got the pictures back to me in the time frame given and they looked wonderful! Thanks Justin!

Justin was an amazing photographer to work with. He really cares about capturing those special moments of the wedding and is willing to go to any length to get that perfect picture. He is one of the most affordable photographers in the area, but his work quality is far superior to others I've seen in the same price category. Just check out his portfolio!
