FAQs
What services do you offer?
1
We offer Photography, Videography or both.
How long should we plan for photos after the sealing?
2
To be honest it all depends on how the sizes of your families and how big your bridal party is. Family photos can take anywhere from 20-30min depending on the size of your families. Bridal party photos can take another 20-30min. Then we recommend another 30min for Bride & Groom portraits around the temple ground. ( Approx: 1-1.5 at the temple at least)
Can you photograph inside the Portland Oregon Temple?
3
No, photography isn’t allowed inside LDS temples, but we document everything before and after your sealing, including your temple exit and portraits.
Yes, the Portland temple has an Atrium inside that photos are allowed to be taken in. If its raining this is a good option. Flash photography is not allowed in the Atrium.
