Couples Photography in Oregon & Beyond

For Couples Drunk in Love

with no desire to get sober

Based in Oregon, I photograph couples in Portland, along the Oregon Coast, in the forests of Hood River, and around US and world.

What if Your Love Deserved a Celebration & a Canvas

Welcome to Celebrate Again, where couples photography meets epic dates and tantalizing embodied experiences.

Your love story made into a masterpiece for lovers who want to get high on their passion and never forget the gift of having arms that feel like home.

arms that feel like home

This is couples photography, yes. 
But it’s also an experience designed to help you build

a legacy of your love story.

Oregon Coast Couples Photography

Let's make art with your love story

Some couples want to stay in the romance they first felt when they met.

The kind of romance that makes the world feel electric.

The kind that lives in small glances, slow mornings, and inside jokes no one else understands.

And then… life happens. Schedules. Stress. Laundry. Phones. Logistics. Love becomes real — but the spark gets buried under the noise.

So this is your invitation to mark what matters.

Not to fix anything. Not to “work on your relationship.” But to return to the magic your connection actually lives:

in your bodies.
in your laughter.
in your eyes.
in your celebrations together.

in the way you move toward each other when no one is watching.

Welcome to romantic couples photography experiences with Celebrate Again — a curated connection + photography experience where a curated candid moment amplifies your love and your story becomes a living gallery you can revisit, even on days that feel like natural disasters.

Hi, Lover, I’m Lumalia

Experience maker & connection couples photographer

Hi Darlin’, I’m Lumalia, founder of Celebrate Again and a hard-core romantic. I believe your story is worthy of celebrating again and again. True story, Celebrate Again actually began for this purpose alone, to pause the years and cherish the sweet moments that make life worth living, celebrated and documented. 

With 17 years under my belt as an experience maker from weddings, elopements, somatic journies, archtypal retreats, and I am here to help design not just a couple’s photography session but a gallery of photos that help you remember why you devoted so much of your life to this magical human you call partner/spouse. 

Life’s given me a wild ride, and I’m so thankful I began as a wedding photographer, detoured into a wellness practitioner, published a memoir, and am now returning to my first love: celebrating love. 

I cannot hear your story. I’m first and foremost a poet, so give me the juicy details, and let’s make your relationship celebrated like it gets its own movie script. I’m honored to be your creative director.  

Celebrating love, isn’t that the real revolution?

Anniversary & Lovers Retreat Sessions

Let’s be frivolous

(what is this magical couples pphotography experience)

couple snuggling close with golden light on them during a couples photography session

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: 

romantic mountain top at sunset with a picnic,

exploring wildflowers on the Columbia Gorge,

gushing waterfalls behind you,

frolicking in golden light near Oregon coast sea stacks,

inside your favorite coffee shop during off hours,


Portland’s signature naked-bike ride,


or rock climbing at Rocky Butte.

You won’t be asked to be posed, you’ll be invited to: play, flirt, laugh, wander, kiss like no one’s watching, and touch like this is your favorite lover, being witness in the kind of love you don’t get to see because you’ve been too busy experiencing it. I’ll be there, camera in hand, capturing your love as the most incredible master piece that it is.

Because your relationship deserves to be documented as if you’re living inside an epic romance, because you are, and it’s easy to forget.

documented like you really are living inside an epic romance

Photographs are our gateway back to our most cherished sensations. They help us press “pause” on time — and remember what our bodies already knew, even when our minds forgot.

Your photo gallery becomes something you can revisit when life feels heavy.
A memory you can return to without effort.
A reminder of your tenderness, how you lavish each other and life you’ve built together. 

Because someday you’ll look back and have proof, you really did love each other wildly.

you really did love each other wildly.

A Whole-Body Intimacy:
Celebrating the Sensation of Together

This isn’t just couples photography,

As Couple Photographers we believe

intimacy isn’t something you talk yourself into

it’s a connection that lives deeper.

In the way you:

  • reach for each other when you notice that look in your partner’s eyes
  • the way you laugh when it’s only the two of you
  • the way your body melts into each other’s after a long day
  • the way you look across the room at each other when no one is watching

This experience is designed to bring you back to that closeness that feels like home is whenever you’re together.

Home is wherever you’re together.

Drunk in love, with no desire to get sober.

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?
    1. Book & suggest a date. Once we pick a date and have you booked, Lumalia will work with you to curate a unique couples photography experience by.
    2. Help you decide on an activity you all love, so it feels like an epic date.
    3. Give you location recommendations so you’ll be at a stunning spot at the ideal time of day for breathtaking photos.
    4. During our time together, you’ll follow Lumalia’s signature couples’ connection guidance and find yourself wishing you could stay in this magic forever as she takes photos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. 
    5. After the session, you’ll get photos back in an online gallery within 4 weeks where you can share them with family and friends, download them to your devices, and order prints or an album.
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 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 Oregon?

Yes! I’ll gladly do couples photography anywhere in the world! We love anywhere in  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 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.
