We recently had the pleasure of working with Forest Film - Photo & Video for our wedding and wanted to share our experience, because finding them felt like winning the lottery, and we know how valuable it is to have a team you can fully trust with your memories.

My husband and I are very particular people when it comes to choosing photographers and videographers. We wanted more than pretty pictures — we wanted to feel the moments again when we looked back on them. Forest Film exceeded every expectation.

Maggie and Dutch are not only incredibly talented, but also some of the warmest, most welcoming people you could hope to have behind a camera. From the moment they arrived, they instantly felt like family. They have this rare ability to make everyone comfortable, natural, and genuinely seen. Their direction is thoughtful, never forced, and they have an eye for capturing real emotion in the most effortless way.

They offer a wide range of mediums — digital photo, video, film, Polaroids, Super 8, and more — and they execute every single one beautifully. We even spent an additional day getting to know and shooting with them, and that experience alone was worth its weight in gold. Every part of the process was smooth, supportive, and filled with their creative expertise.

Forest Film will travel, even internationally, and their pricing is truly unmatched for the art, professionalism, and care you receive. Their turnaround time is also incredibly generous; we received preview images within just a few days, and every single person we’ve shared them with has been blown away. Their work is dreamy, emotional, and authentic — it feels like stepping back into the moment.

If you’re looking for a team that combines documentary storytelling with cinematic, artful imagery — a team who brings both talent and heart — I cannot recommend Forest Film enough. Whether it’s for a wedding, a family session, a brand story, travel portraits, an adventure session, or any milestone you want to remember, they will capture it with magic and truth.

We hope to continue to work with Maggie & Dutch and cannot wait to find another reason to have them come back to Oregon soon.
