    The best photographer!

    Xiomara from Imago Dei Photography truly made our wedding day unforgettable. From the moment we met her, her energy and professionalism shone through, making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. She expertly guided us, capturing the most beautiful moments effortlessly. What stood out the most was her invaluable expertise with Oregon's coastal scenery, which added a special touch to our photos since we were from out of town.

    Not only did Xiomara make us, our wedding party, and guests feel special, but she also ensured everyone had a fantastic time from the wedding party photos to family photos to the reception . Her seamless communication and attention to detail were top-notch, making the whole experience joyful and fun.

    We are incredibly grateful for Xiomara's dedication and the stunning photos she provided. Thank you for being the key to our special day!

    Absolutely Amazing

    There’s not enough words to express how thankful we were to have Xiomara document our wedding day. She made everything run so smoothly with the timeline that she made for us after telling her our wishes. The day was such a wonderful day and she made my entire wedding party and us feel so at ease. Not to mention that our photos are just complete gems! I cannot wait to fill every inch of our house with them and remember this amazing day.

    Xiomara is amazing

    I could not have picked a better photographer for our day. Xiomara was a huge part of planning our wedding and it would not have been the perfect day that it was without her. I cannot recommend her enough. Hire her. You will have no regrets

    A Photographer You Can 100% Trust to Perfectly Capture Your Lifelong Memories

    We chose Imago Dei Photography to photograph our wedding and WOW did Xiomara deliver with some captivating photos! Xiomara genuinely loves seeing the joy and happiness in her clients. The passion behind her work is evident in the way she beautifully captures all moments. She's only one woman but you'd think she secretly brought a whole team of photographers the way she doesn't let a single important moment slip by unphotographed! We especially loved the talent Xiomara has for using any surrounding landscape, turning the wedding photos into stunning pieces of art. No repetitive, stiff, or boring pics in sight. We ended up ordering some professional prints and leather-bound photo albums for ourselves and as gifts to our parents through Imago Dei Photography as well - everything turned out very high quality with tons of customizable options. Xiomara is a photographer that's highly skilled and creative, professional, organized, and genuinely fun to work with. She's given us photos to cherish for a lifetime!

    Amazing Experience

    Xiomara was amazing throughout the entire planning process and day of the wedding. We are so happy with our decision to work with her. She was very professional and was always prepared every time we met. All of our photos turned out so beautifully and she captured all of our special moments without even realizing they were being photographed. As someone who isn't the most comfortable being the center of attention and unsure of what to do in front of the camera, she helped me feel at ease being photographed. She coached us to make sure we got the most natural and romantic photos. I would highly recommend her and would work with her again!

    Since we had a destination wedding with no relatives, quality pictures were very important to use. Xiomara exceeded our expectations with her photos. She captured the best highlights of our special day!

    very professional and made us feel comfortable.

    Xiomara booked us kind of last minute after my original photographer had to cancel. We are so grateful for her willingness to take us!! She made our wedding feel so natural and her work truly shows it. She was a joy to work with, and her personality and style brought an amazing spirit to our special day.

    Imaginative, Intuitive, and Professional

    Imago Dei Photography is professional, intuitive, and imaginative with her wedding photography. We asked for a few special photos, then she took the reign and arranged beautiful backgrounds and meaningful poses and unposed photos that turned out way beyond anything we could have dreamed or imagined. We highly recommend her for your special occasion.

    Amazing!

    Xiomara was phenomenal - she was beyond accommodating of us running a bit late, being unfamiliar with the area, and our two little dogs. I look at our pictures at least once a week - they’re just that good!!!

    Amazing experience and beautiful pictures!

    We found Xiomara online for our VERY last minute elopement (about 5 hours of notice) and she was willing and able to move her plans around to help us! Not only was she fun, bubbly, and professional but she went out of her way to surprise me with a beautiful bouquet and my husband a boutonnière. She went out of her way to make us feel at ease and made our special day run as smoothly as possible. Not only was our experience with her amazing but she kept in contact to let us know the progress of the pictures and we were NOT disappointed when they were complete. They turned out absolutely beautiful and she truly captured the love and happiness of the moment.

    Magic on The Oregon Coast

    Xiomara captured our love in the most magical and intimate of ways. She is extremely friendly and personable, immediately a calming presence who obviously loves what she does. She was so supportive and encouraging that even people who are nervous being photographed will feel comfortable, and her intuition meant that our visions aligned in the loveliest of ways. Xiomara helped make a beautiful memory magical and I woukd recommend her to anyone looking for someone to capture a moment in their life.

    Amazing! We had a blast taking our wedding photos with Xiomara and we are so in love with our photos.

    Xiomara is absolutely amazing at what she does. The beauty she creates and captures is pure magic. We were thankful to have been referred to her to photograph our Wedding in September 2018. Our photos turned out simply stunning, all of our friends and family agreed it would be so difficult to choose which pictures to display in our house as they all turned out to be so gorgeous. Not only is she extremely talented but also very professional and fun loving. She emphasized capturing real time, real life moments, no stoic awkward overly posed pictures which we very much appreciated!! As we recently reflected on our 1 year anniversary and look back on pictures from this amazing day, we felt sincerely blessed to have found Imago Dei Photography! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer to capture any special moment in your life as you'll will be in excellent hands!!

    Destination Wedding

    WOW I don’t even know where to begin. Xiomara is simply AMAZING. She really is more than a photographer. From the beginning through to the end she offered endless supper, advice, and guidance. My husband and I decided to do a destination wedding so it made things a little more difficult when it came to planning. Anytime I had a question she was so quick to reply and help out in any way that she could. On the day itself it was like having a friend there with you. She made us feel so comfortable and made the day go so smooth. I’m seriously so happy with outcome, my photos are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I feel blessed that she was there to capture the BEST DAY of my life. I highly recommend Xiomara. She’s incredibly talented and she won’t disappoint you.

    Anna's Wedding

    Xiomara is amazing! She's patient, organized and very good at encouraging her subjects to pose perfectly. She takes both wonderful set shots and beautiful candid photos. All the photos she took of our daughter's wedding are beautiful. We could not have found a better photographer!

    Gorgeous Photos!!

    Our wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful!! Xiomara did an amazing job capturing special and intimate moments—I know we will love looking back at these photos for many years to come. She was easy to work with—we had some last minute changes to our wedding day timeline and she was super flexible. She helped us figure out all the portrait shots we wanted ahead of time so that on our wedding day we didn’t have to worry about any of that and could just leave things up to her. Overall, I would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!!

    Professional, comfortable and creative!

    When we got engaged, Xiomara was the first vendor we booked. I was familiar with her work, and I knew I wanted to invest in her work for our wedding memories. She exceeded our expectations all along the way. We had a wonderful destination engagement session, where it tried to rain on us and she took great precautions to make our photos amazing. My husband and I were so comfortable with her and knew the way she posed us is photos would produce amazing photos. Communication through our wedding planning process was very timely and professional. Our wedding was at our family horse barn, and she got so creative incorporating the details of our barn wedding. I am so grateful for her vision in capturing all the details and emotions of our special day.

    Captured our love perfectly

    Xiomara captured our wedding day perfectly. The pictures of our day are by far the most beautiful wedding photographs I have ever seen, and I’m not just saying that because they are my wedding pictures, they literally ARE the most gorgeous pictures ever. Xiomara was in constant communication with us throughout our planning process and she was so quick to respond to questions. My husband and I were a bit nervous about posing for our photographs and worried about them looking natural and not super pose-y but Xiomara made us so comfortable and made us laugh and our pictures looked so candid and perfect. Xiomara is awesome, do yourself a huge favor and book her!

    She is more than a photographer!

    Words are not enough! Beyond happy with our choice to go with Xiomara as our wedding photographer. Fom the moment I met Xiomara she was warm and welcoming. She was professional but in a laid-back relaxing way. She recognized when I needed a calming word, and even help get me ready. We were blown away at her creative eye and how amazing the photos came out. Absolutely the best choice to help keep our dream wedding memories!

    Great photographer and person

    Xiomara created for us wonderful wedding photos. In a couple of hours, she led us to the wood and the beaches to take our photos. She really knew where, when and how to capture our moments. She shared with us her experiences and stories which not only helped us in the pictures but also feel relax and laugh a lot. I’m grateful to find such a skilled photographer for our wedding event.

    From the very first phone call to the hug at the end, it was the best experience we have ever had. Not one thing went wrong, The process was so easy, and working with Xiomara was even easier. We had a couple of other people in mind, but after our first consultation we knew Xiomara was a perfect fit for us. I can't say enough good things about her! She is definitely a PROFESSIONAL at her craft. You would be missing out BIG TIME if you choose someone else!

    What an amazing experience! Imago Dei helped me set up a surprise proposal for my sweetheart under the guise of just doing some family photos. She was so surprised, it was an amazing moment, and Xiomara provided some utterly amazing shots that we will cherish forever. We cannot say thank you enough to Imago Dei and Xiomara!

    Xiomara was wonderful! We went over dunes, went over rocks to get to tide pools, and had sunset photos. And from the looks of our previews our photos are going to be amazing!!! She is totally worth the money and investment for your day. Even my wedding party commented on how amazing she is and how kind she is. I wish i could give her more than a five star rating!

    Imagi Dei Photoraphy has some of the most exquisite photographs I have ever seen. I happened across Xiomara's work by chance when I was researching for my destination wedding in Newport, Oregon. Her work took my breath away! Xiomara is so upbeat and energetic, she has a passion for what she does and it can't help but spill out of her! You will fall her in love with not only her amazing work, but her uplifting spirit.

    Xiomara is absolutely amazing! She is so talented at what she does. She captured our wedding perfectly. You can see the love and happiness in every photo. She is extremely creative with her shots and also very considerate on your wants and needs. She creates a very comfortable atmosphere that makes getting your picture taken fun. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I plan to use her to capture all of our important moments in our future!

    We strongly recommend Xiomara of Imago Dei Photography. She has an amazing eye for capturing every detail. She was very flexible and truly listens to your needs and ideas. We mostly love how she captures the personalities of the Bride and Groom. We are so fortunate to have found her!

    We were so impressed with the photography experience and the finished products we received. Xiomara helped us organize and plan our day, was respectful and patient with us and our entire family, got us back on schedule when things went wrong (all without complaining or making our day any less enjoyable), and was flexible enough to handle last minute photo additions. Her professionalism and organization are phenomenal. We hired a second photographer at the last minute to ensure we got all the photo coverage we wanted and she brought in an awesome second photographer for a very reasonable additional cost. Jessica took beautiful photos and was friendly, helpful, and professional. She even helped me out with some sunscreen when I was brining after our outdoor ceremony. Overall, we were extremely pleased with this vendor choice for our wedding and we will cherish our wedding photos for years to come. Thank you, Xiomara!

    When we seeking out a photographer for our day, we knew we wanted quality. We knew we wanted someone who was easy to work with. And we absolutely knew we wanted someone who has vision.

    Xiomara is just all of those things and more.

    Our engagement session was our first "taste" of the experience she provides. We had so much fun! She made us feel right at home and so comfortable the whole time. Simple instructions and let us be "us" which was also very important to us both. She had a vision right away when we walked on-site which was so helpful and made the time go by quickly.

    Onto the wedding...the best day. She was so fun, so light and organized. There was never any pressure to be/do anything unexpected. She provided timelines for all photographed parties which was extremely helpful!

    She shared in all of our moments, laughed with us and knew when a good moment was happening and captured the essence of each one perfectly. The sun didn't cooperate with the sunset photos, but we still have some incredible shots during that time.

    Xiomara made our day beautiful. Even more than it already was on its own, but now we have those memories to go back and look at. She is just incredible to work with.

    I highly recommend contacting her and utilizing her amazing abilities. The memories she captured could not be more perfect for our ideal outcome.

    Xiomara is absolutely amazing, as a person and as a photographer. Even though she has other clients, she devotes so much time and energy into making you feel like you are the only one she is working with! My husband and I don't particularly love to be in the spotlight, but Xiomara made both our engagement and wedding sessions feel so comfortable and natural. The images she captured were stunning and went above and beyond my expectations. With the quality of her services and genuine care for her work and the people she works with, we hope to have her photograph us again with a future family someday. If you are looking for a photographer, don't hesitate to choose Xiomara! :)

    We booked Xiomara four years ago for our wedding and loved her work so much we have used her for everything since. Her work never ceases to amazing me. I could not be happier that we chose her to document not only the the day we started of our life together, but how we have grown as a family since then.

    Xiomara is without a doubt the best investment we made on our Wedding Day! It has been two weeks since we got married, and our friends and family are still raving about her services and the absolute beauty in the two sneak photos Xiomara had shown our family and friends! Xiomara has an amazing ability to make everyone feel at ease which allows her to capture intimate, beautiful moments. Today we received sneak peak photos from out wedding, and each and every one of them looks like they could be out of a bridal magazine.

    I cannot wait to use her again in the future! Anyone who has the opportunity to invest in her talent should, absolutely without hesitation.

    Xiomara is GREAT! I knew from the minute that I got engaged that I wanted Imago Dei Photography to capture my day! Xiomara not only takes amazing photos but she is so organized and friendly! I felt completely at ease with Xiomara and honestly couldn't have planned my wedding without her! She was so helpful and was by far more than a photographer!

    If I could give Xiomara / Imago Dei Photography 10 stars, I would. They are THAT good. When I started planning my wedding and was looking for a photographer, Xiomara's name came up multiple times. A few minutes into my first meeting, I easily understood why she came so highly recommended.

    Xiomara's photo samples were gorgeous. Each album told a story and the photos captured wonderful, unscripted moments as well as traditional shots that still allowed each bride's personality to shine through. But that isn't what most impressed me. Throughout the meeting, Xiomara focused less on her capabilities and work, instead spending time getting to know me, more about my fiancé, our relationship and our lives in general. It was like having coffee with a dear friend, an element that was present throughout the rest of the process.

    Xiomara was patient and quick to respond to my questions and proactively shared articles and suggestions as we planned our engagement session, wedding shots and the wedding in general. My fiancé and I lived in Boston and Xiomara worked with us to plan out a fun engagement shoot that captured all of the things we loved about the Oregon Coast and missed after having moved away.

    And the wedding itself. Where to begin?! Xiomara captured everything we wanted and more. We were married at Jenkins Estate in Oregon, which offered dozens of great photo locations. Xiomara had previously scouted locations, which streamlined the day-of process. It was important to my fiancé and me that we captured as many family photos as possible throughout the day. About a month ago, one of my grandfathers passed away. It has been a blessing to go back through our wedding photos and see so many shots of my grandparents, including my grandfather.

    Xiomara is gracious, genuine and a dream to work with. Her attention to detail and desire for perfection made for beautiful wedding memories. I highly encourage you to put your trust in Xiomara—you won’t be disappointed!

    I absolutely love my wedding pictures. Every. Single. One. I have them set up as a screen saver on my computer at work and I often finding myself awed when a new picture pops up. The quality and dedication that we received from Xiomara was outstanding. We put a great amount of time in the details of our wedding and she captured all of them. She took the extra effort to make my husband comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. It was the best investment we made. I would recommend Xiomara and her team in a heart beat!!

    Xiomara was a real pleasure to work with. She made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. And the turn around time was amazing. I had my wedding photos back much sooner than a family member who was married months before (a different photographer). I would suggest her to any bride- especially one with a lot on her plate. I was able to talk with Xiomara about my vision and did not have to worry about it again- she took care of everything!

    Xiomara was such a pleasure to work with. She has a true passion for what she does and is so talented. She is the best at capturing your love story and all of the little details of your special day. She is such a sweetheart, very fun and easy to work with. Our whole family and wedding party enjoyed her so much.

    She had a quick response time to our inquiry of booking her for our photographer. She goes over every detail with you and will make certain that she gets all of the shots you want! She is professional, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and gave us a variety of amazing photos. There's not a chance you'll have a favorite, because they're all so beautiful.

    After the wedding, we received our photos very quickly and were blown away. Her services were worth every penny. She will be our go to photographer from now on. I couldn't recommend her more! Book her for your wedding, today!

    I met Xiomara about two years ago. The first shoot she did was my daughters newborn pictures...after this shoot i was hooked. She is such a caring person and pays so much attention to detail. Of course this shoot was followed with our engagement and a few more and i asked her if she would be my wedding photographer and was thrilled that everything worked out and she was able too. My one wish was that i would have an amazing photographer that would capture all the unforgettable moments and all the little details i'd worked so hard on. She did all of this and more. I can truly say that hiring her as my photographer was the best choice. They say you pay for what you get....Well if thats true, i feel like i got a great deal because she went above and beyond what she was hired to do. If you are looking for someone to capture the preious moments of your life, such as engagement, wedding, babies, kids, she is the best around. Not only will you have a beautiful memory for years to come, but you will also gain a wonderful friend. So come on people, Join the Imago Dei Family today=)!

    " Xiomara did an amazing job capturing our engagement pictures and wedding day!! We couldn't have asked for anyone better:) She had such a fun and laid back personality to work with that most of the time we didn't even realize she was taking pictures! She was very much about us being ourselves and enjoying the day. Her attention to detail captured every little part of our day....and moments that we will have to look back on for the rest of our lives! We couldn't be more happy with the service and products we got from Imago Dei! We can't wait to use Xio again in the near future:)

    Having Imago Dei Photography capture all the moments at our wedding was the best decision we could make! Xiomara was so helpful with any and all questions I asked. Prior to the wedding she went through all the details of what we wanted making the day of the wedding easy, enjoyable, and even more special. I was amazed at her ability to capture candid moments, special moments, and the way all the pre wedding group shots came out. I could t recommend her more!!

    Low stress photographer

    We chose Xiamara (Imago Dei) for our New Year's Eve small beach wedding. She worked with us to accommodate our indoor backup plan (December in Oregon), desire to record a video of the wedding, and needs to protect our privacy online. She took the time to understand what was meaningful to us at our wedding, like my great grandmother's teacup collection. We had the ceremony outdoors, and she took beautiful pictures despite the need to constantly change lenses in the rain. When a stranger stopped to take pictures she politely shooed him away, so he appeared in very few of our photos and we did not even notice the disruption. She also gave our guests directions to the wedding site, as she knows the area and where people will lose cell phone coverage.
    I have always heard weddings are very stressful, but with Xiomara as a photographer it might have been even less stressful than had we had no photographer at all! She put in effort above and beyond that of taking photos to help us have a happy day.

    Doing the Wedding in October was a risky take however it turned out for the BEST!! Weather turned out fabulous and our guest enjoyed every moment. Big thanks to Xiomara, she helped guide us through our wedding which was a plus. We live in Canada and our wedding was in the Oregon coast. I would not know how our wedding would turn out without her. She was professional all the way with great personality. After the first dance, we had forgot about the wishing lantern. So kind of Xiomara to reminded us and now it is captured on camera. Xiomara is an amazing photographer and we see it in her work and in person.

    We contacted Xiomara right after the engagement because we knew she was extremely popular and we knew we wanted her. She has been capturing my family since I was in high school. She was the first one we consulted before picking a date because we wanted to make sure she could be there (how many couples can say they would pick their date based on their photographer?-- that's how amazing she is!)

    The great thing about Xiomara is you get the whole package. Some are intimidated with prices, or hope for only an engagement or wedding session. Here are the reasons to resolve those "issues" you may have:

    1. The price gives you ALL the digital files and I mean tons of files. No one walks away feeling like they didn't get enough. She also is not just a talent with her camera but also talented at making YOU a model. Who knew my husband was going to be better at it then me?! But Xiomara knows how to bring out your natural love and expression. No nervousness in front of the camera and no awkward staged photos. It's a moving picture of your love and she captures it wonderfully.

    2. Xiomara's packages come only including both the wedding and engagement sessions. That's great because the price includes all picture files for BOTH sessions. Wow! As I also said before, the engagement session works out all your nervousness in front of the camera but also makes the wedding day that much easier. You know your photographer, your photographer knows you. You don't realize how that can affect having ordinary to excellent photos. Think of who might capture you best? Your best friend will know what makes you laugh or the eyes you get when you think something is cute. A stranger can't and won't be able to see that.

    Give someone that will become your best friend the ability to capture your love story. Oh, and did I say we got our pictures back within a month? Beat that!
