Naomi Levit Photography - Portland, Oregon

Janelle B.

When I came across Naomi's stunning wedding photography from previous elopements the pictures seemed so magical yet intimate and I knew it was exactly what I wanted. I reached out only three months before our proposed wedding date and Naomi was excited to make it happen! She has connections with many vendors and sent plenty of recommendations for us. During our planning session she truly tried to understand what we needed to make our day special and unique for us. She had many great ideas for fun shots but we ultimately kept it very simple with no big plans in mind and just went with the flow! We took a spontaneous trip to a coffee shop during our session which was so fun! We were so thrilled with all of our photos from our elopement; they captured our day perfectly. Not only does Naomi do stunning photography but she is great at directing us and everything felt so natural the entire session. Naomi is so enthusiastic yet makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. We could not have asked for a better day. Everything was perfect and we will always cherish the memories of that day she captured in our photos. Thank you!!!

Naomi is spectacular at what she does. She is meant to photograph elopements and make people feel so special and good about themselves! She is so organized, communicative, responsive, supportive, endearing, and inclusive. When we met Naomi for our elopement, it felt like we were hanging out with a friend taking photos. She was genuinely so enjoyable and easy to be around. Those planning to elope have a big expectation for photographers since you pay so much money and it’s your one special day. Naomi absolutely exceeded everything and was truly amazing. She is so easy and comfortable to talk to and work with. When we were taking photos, it felt so comfortable and we really got to focus on being with each other, enjoying our special day.

My partner and I searched for travel elopement photographers and wanted to find someone who had experience with Alaska climate, shooting in the rain, weather changes, etc. Naomi surely did which made us feel like we were in good hands. She has such an expansive experience of shooting in different locations.

3 days before our elopement, our plans had to change due to pouring rain happening on the day of our elopement when we had a helicopter and private boat planned. Naomi had her eye on the weather ahead of time and reached out to see if we could be flexible with moving our elopement plans around to day before. She had already reached out to the boat charter vendors to see their schedule/flexibility which was extremely helpful during a stressful moment of changing plans right before our planned day. Naomi was so supportive and gave a neutral opinion on how we should proceed. But we wanted her expertise and she was so comforting and encouraging, we fully trusted her advice and experience as a seasoned elopement photographer.

If there is advice we can give to people who are eloping, be flexible and go with the flow if you can, because things can change pretty quickly. And it will be ok<3 Our one day 8 hour elopement plan changed into a 2 day elopement with 4 hours the first day- a boat ride through Kenai Fjords NP where we wore fun white outfits and the next day we did our helicopter ride in our dresses and makeup done and exchanged vows near glaciers and took photos afterward which in total took 4 hours. It was actually so nice to have the day be split up inadvertently and made the elopement fun last 2 days!!! At first we thought we’d be bummed to not have everything in the same day because that’s what you picture for so long while planning your elopement and leading up to going. But, we were actually so happy how it worked out. It was a nice way to break up a full 8 hour day of photos and it all worked out so well to have sun in Seward, Alaska for our elopement- something so special we’ll always remember. Naomi even sends sneak peaks a week after your elopement day and it’s so exciting to see her favorite photos she got. All of our photos came back recently and they came out SO beautifully. We are so happy with them and keep looking at them!!!! It’s so nice to have these amazing photos to remember this adventurous day. Naomi, truly thank you so much for making our elopement incredibly special and now we have the photos to smile at forever. You are so good at what you do!! We really appreciate you and being able to work with you for our elopement <3

We laughed the entire afternoon and felt so comfortable with Naomi during our elopement. She even put up with a last minute change up without missing a beat. Now we have breathtaking photographs that allow us to relive our special day. We hope to see you again in the future Naomi. Biggest hugs and thanks again for everything!!

Much love,

The Proells

Naomi was absolutely wonderful! She not only captured our special day with such detail, but she was attentive to what we wanted. Through out the whole process Naomi stayed in touch. I tend to be camera shy, but I was comfortable the entire time and able to be myself. I highly recommend her!!! It has been a month now and I still talk about how amazing everything went. We had a small ceremony in the Redwoods, took family photos, then us three went to a separate location for more photos, and ended the day with photos at the Oregon coast with our pup. Also, the turn around time was very efficient!

Naomi was absolutely AMAZING to work with! We contacted her for a last-minute elopement (less than 2 weeks!) and she was instrumental in helping make the elopement happen. She helped us select locations (we chose Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in California and Secret Beach in Oregon) during our 4-hour elopement. Naomi made everything easy- we’re not usually in front of the camera, but Naomi was so wonderful and we felt comfortable with her immediately.

We received the photos and oh my goodness she captured the essence of the day so incredibly! These are photos and memories we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you so much, Naomi, for these amazing photos, for being onboard with our whirlwind wedding, and for your role in helping the stars align.

So grateful I found Naomi while researching how to elope in the Redwoods! I went through her blogs and loved all the images she captured. I knew we needed to have her for our day! She did not disappoint. She answered all questions we had while planning, made it really easy and fun, and it was so nice to meet her. We felt super comfortable with her guidance throughout the picture taking process. We had the best day and the images she captured of it are priceless. I’m so grateful to have these moments forever. We also got beautiful pictures with the family members we had there. She was so nice, helpful, and patient. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you for everything Naomi, you’re the best!

Our elopement was made perfect by Naomi! She was extremely helpful leading up to our wedding and especially during! We are so thankful for her kindness and talent in highlighting us in such a magical place that she picked out at the Redwood National Park.

The pictures are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for capturing such timeless, beautiful moments.

If you are looking for something original, magical, and memorable, this lovely woman can supply that. Thank you!

It's so difficult to even pick a few favorite photos to add to this review. I wish I could share them all! Every photo is so unique and beautiful. Noami truly captured how fun and absolutely stunning our Hawaii elopement was.

But not only that – she also helped me every step of the way during our planning process, and almost all of my vendors came from her recommendation. She's the reason why our day went so smoothly.

Naomi is fun and energetic and an amazing photographer. I'm so, so happy we chose her to capture our day. I love every single photo so much, and I will totally be the person who shows people her wedding photos all the time for years to come!
