Hi! We're The Firmans -
In June of 2024, we eloped on the beautiful Oregon Coast, where we call home. Now, we hope to help memorialize your special day here, or elsewhere.
Together, we have a combined 30 years creating images for local & global brands, wineries, and couples.
Most importantly, we're a GOOD HANG. We leave our shoots with more than just beautiful photos, we leave with new friends.
Let's connect and create.
Let's get cinematic
Meet Our Team
Shelby
A photographer and brand manager passionate about capturing love, life, and families through cinematic stills. She started her photography journey 15 years ago on dive boats. Over time, she combined this with her experience in brand management and the wine industry—creating images for brands, couples, and families.
Shelby excels at connecting with people—helping them feel comfortable in front of the camera, and bringing out their natural personalities.
Matt
Matt’s photography has gained recognition across platforms like Tumblr and Pinterest for his Pacific Northwest lifestyle photos—which have now spread far and wide across the internet. He also spent years photographinh and directing photo shoots for brands like Nike, Ural Motorcycles, Division Winery, and Slingshot Sports. He spent 10 years at the global creative agency AKQA as a Designer, Art Director, and Creative Director working with brands like Fender, Dell, NRG, and Amazon.
His approach is thoughtful and intentional, taking care to capture purpose and story with each frame.
OUR VALUES
I.
Our business is built on photographing love, connection, joy, adventure, meaning, laughter, and a little bit of chaos. We believe weddings, elopements and portraits should reflect the people at the center of them.
II.
We welcome and respect people of all faiths, races, ages, sexualities, identities, backgrounds, and beliefs. Every couple deserves to feel seen, supported, and fully themselves during a session.
III.
Our number one priority on your wedding day is helping you have the best damn day of your life, while preserving it honestly. We laugh with you, cry during your vows, crack jokes with your grandma, and always bring good energy. We want you fully present with your family, friends, and each other. While you're living it, we'll be making art from it.
IV.
The photographs we create are meant to last. Long after the flowers are gone and the cake is eaten, your images will remain. Our goal is to create work that feels honest, beautiful, and deeply personal. The kind of photographs that, years from now, will take you back to that moment. Photos that you'll be proud to share with your children and grandchildren someday.
