Playful, Colorful, and Timeless Wedding Photography That Captures The Real You.

Based in Portland, OR - Serving the Pacific Northwest

Kai Hayashi Photography

 

Your wedding day is a milestone in your love story that you get to share with people who’ve supported you along the way. It’s a day that your friends, family, and community all come together for one special reason: To celebrate you. As a wedding photographer and visual storyteller, it’s my job to capture every facet of it.

From the quiet, candid moments happening all around you, to the spotlight ones like your first kiss as a married couple, my photos will bring each of these memories to life and let you relive the day every time you look at them.

 

Your love story is unique.
Why should your wedding photos be any different?

Meet Your Portland Wedding Photographer

I’m Kai Hayashi, a Japanese-American wedding and engagement photographer with big Aries energy who’s ready to wholeheartedly celebrate you like the extroverted, hopeless romantic I am.

I believe photos should tell meaningful, impactful stories that reflect the nuances of a couple’s relationship. I want to shoot the whole love story—the one that includes your family, friends, culture, and community.

Based out of Portland, Oregon, I also specialize in capturing the rich, rural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. I’ll happily help you find a gorgeous, natural backdrop for your engagement, wedding or elopement photos.

Testimonials

  • Shara & Jason

    “Kai is AMAZING at what he does. Everyone from our wedding was in awe with how beautiful all the photos turned out. Kai was very thoughtful about capturing those special moments that mattered the most to us. It is so very evident that he is passionate about what he does. Kai is very kind and I love that he represents diverse couples in his portfolio. My husband and I (and our guests) highly recommend him! :)”

  • Savannah & Lillian

    “Kai captured our small elopement perfectly. It is abundantly clear that he has an amazing eye for photography. Our ceremony only included 3 people besides my partner and I and Kai fit into our day seamlessly, my family loved having him there and he truly felt like part of the day instead of someone looking from the outside in.”

  • Mallory & Cameron

    “It was such an honor to work with Kai Hayashi! All the communication was very clear and I knew exactly what to expect. Both my husband and I are on the shy side when it comes to photos and he did a good job drawing us out and getting our personalities to come out in the photos. I'm excited to look back at these photos for years to come. You won't regret hiring Kai.”
