Portland, Oregon Couples Photographer (and the wild places)
For Couples Drunk in Love
with no desire to get sober
Based in Portland, Oregon, I photograph couples in Forest Park, the Willamette River, in local gardens and throughout Oregon.
What if Your Love Story Received a Celebration & a Canvas
Welcome to Celebrate Again, where couples photography meets stunning dates and passion inducing romance.
Your romance turned into a cinematic artifact for lovers who want to celebrate their magic together and never forget the treasure of having a place in another that feels like home.
arms that feel like home
This is Portland couples photography, yes. But it’s also a
love ritual disguised as a photoshoot
an experience designed to pull you out of logistics and back into the part of your relationship that still knows how to play.

Let's make art with your love story
Some couples want to stay inside the original electricity
he kind that lives in side glances, slow mornings, and jokes no one else understands.
And then… life gets loud.
Calendars. Work. Laundry. Kids. Phones.
Love becomes real, and the spark can get buried in coexistence.
So this is your invitation back.
Not to fix anything. Not to “work on your relationship.” But to return to the place where your connection actually lives:
in your bodies.
in your laughter.
in your eyes.
in your memory.
in the way you reach for each other when no one’s watching.
Welcome to Portland couples photography experiences with Celebrate Again: a curated connection + photography experience for modern romantics who want their love documented like art, not staged like content.

Hi, Lover, I’m Lumalia
Portland couples photographer + experience maker
Hi Darlin’, I’m Lumalia, founder of Celebrate Again and a hard-core romantic with a camera and a bias toward wonder.
Celebrate Again began for one reason: to pause the years and to make sure the sweetest parts of life don’t disappear unrecorded.
I’ve spent 17 years photographing devotion (weddings, elopements, anniversaries), building embodied experiences, and studying what helps people soften back into themselves. Now I’m back where I started: celebrating love — with a signature style that feels cinematic, intimate, and alive.
Life has taken me on an incredible journey. I’m grateful to have started as a wedding photographer, then explored wellness practice, published a memoir, and now I’m returning to my original passion: celebrating love.
Tell me the juicy details. I’m a poet first.
And I would love to make your relationship feel like it gets its own film.
Celebrating love, isn’t that the real revolution?

Let’s be frivolous
(What this Portland couples photography experience actually is)
In this curated experience designed to feel like an epic date night or weekend of celebration, we’ll choose a location(s) and activities that feel like your love placed in a scene of a movie:
You won’t be asked to perform or “pose.”
You’ll be guided into small prompts that feel natural: touch, flirt, laugh, move closer, follow the chemistry.
And I’ll be there, camera in hand, capturing the kind of intimacy you don’t get to watch in real time because you’ve been too busy living it.

playing together
A love story you can taste again
(What you’ll walk away with)
This won’t just be a gallery. It’ll be a memory your nervous system recognizes.

Someday you’ll look back and feel it all again.
you really did love each other wildly.

Full-Body Intimacy:
Celebrating the Sensation of Together
This isn’t just Portland couples photography,
- Flirt
- Laugh
- Remember
As Portland Engagement, Couple, and Anniversary Photographers, we believe
intimacy isn’t something you think yourself into
It’s something you remember through your body.
- In the way you reach for each other.
- In the way you laugh when it’s only the two of you.
- In the way your shoulders drop when you finally get to be close again.
This experience is designed to bring you back to that.
Home is wherever you’re together.
Home is wherever you’re together.
Drunk in love, with no desire to get sober.
Ready to Create Your Love Artifact?
If you’ve been longing for a reason to dress up, explore a stunning place, embrace each other like you’re holding someone precious, and capture this moment before it slips away, I would be honored to be a part of it with you.

Portland Couples Photography F.A.Q.
How do you book?
Fill out our booking request below.
Once approved and a date scheduled with Lumalia or one of our couples photographers you’ll pay a $100 non-refundable retainer fee for your selected date and $300 service fee. These are NOT extra costs, just portions of the packages paid up front.
The total $400 will go towards your final booking package.
After your photo session your remaining balance will be due.
How Does Couples Photography Experience with Celebrate Again Work?
- You request a date.
- I help you choose a “date-shaped” activity.
- I recommend locations, vendors, and timing for cinematic light.
- You show up and get to be lovers again while I guide + photograph.
- You receive sneak peeks and then your full gallery with professional print credits.
We’re not confident that we can look as good as the couples in your portfolio in front of the camera.
YES!!! All of the couples on every page of our website are real, normal people, and most even asked us what to do with their hands! 😉
(Trust me, we’ve been asked if everyone here is a model. Nope. Normal, adorable humans loving each other.)
It’s our job to help you stay connected, having fun, and enjoying each other more than “posing” in some silly shape Instagram told you to try out. This is always reflected in the candid, authentic, and cinematic quality of all the photographs you see on our website.
Do you offer Engagement Photos, Proposals, Anniversaries, or help with Vow Renewals?
Yes! No matter if you’re looking for Portland engagement photos, celebrating your anniversaries, or planning a vow renewal ceremony or even party, we’re available!
If you’d like help planning a vow renewal experience, mention that in your booking request, and we’ll create a package that includes our expertise in helping couples plan romantic experiences similar to our Oregon elopement photography.
We have nearly two decades of experience helping couples have an epic experience together, and we’d be honored to help you find where to go, connect with vendors, understand the permitting process, curate a guest or small guest timeline, and document this beautiful chapter in your story.
Do you offer couples Photography outside of Portland, Oregon?
Yes! I’ll gladly do couples photography in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, in Hawaii, in Denver, or anywhere you want to send me to find your landscape muse!
How many photos can I expect to receive from a 1-hour couples photo shoot?
We deliver at least 30 photos per hour, averaging about one photo every 2 minutes.
How do we pick a location or create a date?
Lumalia will work with you to find the ideal location and activity for your curated experience. You’ll then be given a few for you to choose from.
Some locations will require rental fees or permits for us to take photos, which will add to the cost of your packages.
If you have a specific location in mind, we can research taking photos there, but we will only take photos in locations where we can be legally.
Can we do this for an anniversary photo shoot?
Yes! If you want a more curated experience, like renewing your vows or a mini-elopement style session where I can help you curate a full day experience, make note of that on the form below, and we can make ALL your anniversary dreams come to life!
Do you offer Portland Couples Boudoir Photography?
Yes! We can do a couple’s boudoir session. We can get as steamy as you desire. For couples who want to experience both, we recommend our two-hour experience.
How long does it take to get photos back?
You’ll receive five sneak peeks within one week, and your full gallery within four weeks (often sooner).
How are photos delivered?
Through a private online gallery with full-res + web-size downloads. Please download promptly, galleries are only live for a few months before they are archived.
How many outfits or outfits can I wear?
Usually, two per hour. However, if you have simple layers, we can play with more.
How much is a typical Portland couples photoshoot?
Our couples’ photo experiences begin at $1,000. Most of our couples, however, love treating their session as a curated date rather than simply “posing for photos,” and use it to celebrate a special season in their lives. On average, couples invest $1,500+ in their experience with us.
Do you have payment plans?
Yes, financing is available (4% interest rate through a partner).
Will you make me look skinny or make my cellulite go away?
As an artist and couples photographer, I will guide you through movements that help you feel good rather than forcing you into a shape deemed flattering by the patriarchal gaze that objectifies women.
My goal is to foster a movement of compassion towards our bodies and embrace their current shapes and textures without judgment, cellulite included. For this reason, I do not offer skin smoothing, wrinkle removals, or retouching.
However, if you have a random pimple, cut, or burn on that day, please let me know, and I’ll retouch those.
Schedule your call now, Lumalia only books a limited amount of couples photography sessions per month.
