D. Selbak Photography

There are not enough words in the world to describe how wonderful Deena is! Her incredible photography skills captured our wedding day flalwlessly, but the most important thing to know about Deena is she will not just take incredible photos - she will go above and beyond to make sure your big day is all you dreamed of. From the moment Deena arrived on-site at the Venue, she scouted out good photo spots, became glued to my side - guiding me through each scheduled event, all while capturing moments that I will cherish forever.
Deena was timely, respectful, involved, affordable and has now become

Deena is truly the best! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier! She has an amazing eye for detail and captured the most precious moments. We received our photos quickly and she was great to work with; professional, respectful and friendly. I definitely recommend her!

Deena was amazing to work with for our wedding! Very quick and responsive, helpful with inspiration for how to get the best photos, and flexible beyond belief in case things don't always go exactly as planned. We really enjoyed getting to work with her and consider her a friend after sharing our special day so close to us - and the photos were excellent too! I would absolutely recommend and will continue to work with her to capture life's important moments (big or small) with her professional photography skills.

My family and I have known Deena for 4+ years now. We met up with her for the first time at a coffee shop to discuss our plans for our wedding, unsure of where to even start. As soon as we met up, we were greeted with the warmest, most welcoming hug. She had a way of listening to us, but really truly hearing us and seeing us for everything we wanted to capture at the wedding. The day went beautifully and so much of that was because of Deena, her professionalism and expertise, as well as her desire to make the day as magical as we hoped it would be. We have had our pictures taken by Deena at least

I simply can't say enough good things about Deena. She's got mad photography skills as well as interpersonal skills. Our rental company, Vintage Meets Modern, has hired her on several occasions to shoot both "headshots" and inventory photos for our branding. I continue to hire Deena because she listens to our needs and takes the time to get all the angles and photos we are looking for as well as so many more creative options. And her editing/ style is so beautiful. I recommend her to both engaged couples and businesses!

Deena is amazing!! If I could give more than 5 stars then I would. She has captured memories that I will cherish forever. She took newborn photos of our baby and has also taken family photos for us the last couple of years. Not only does she take beautiful photos but she makes us feel so comfortable during the photo session. I love the way she captures my son's personality in our photos. Deena is so sweet and such a talented photographer!

Deena was absolutely everything we hoped for as a wedding photographer. The photos she took are breathtaking and are getting rave reviews from our friends and family. We could not be happier with the composition and execution of all the wedding images. Additionally, every part of the process, from planning our event, to our engagement photos, to our big day was handled professionally and cordially. Deena's enthusiasm and demeanor made us feel cared for and her preparation and professionalism allowed us to focus on each other and our families while everything was swirling around us.
We would recommend

Deena is our favorite photographer we’ve worked with, she captures personal authentic moments in the most beautiful way! We *never* take the time to have our photos taken, but we decided we needed to finally give in, and Deena made us feel so at ease! She has a way of transforming what seem like small moments into meaningful portraits that truly bottle up a moment in time. She is just the best!

Deena shot a branding session for my small business, and I loved everything about it! For the first time in my life, I felt comfortable in front of the camera—not only because Deena offered champagne and played the music of my choice, but also because she was so down-to-earth and easy to laugh with. The photos turned out great because of it. I got the photos back super quickly, too, which was awesome. I'll be signing up for another session whenever it's offered again. Highly, highly recommend!

As the owner of Your Perfect Bridesmaid, a wedding planning company located here in Portland, OR, I have had the privilege of working with Deena on a number of occasions. Deena is kind, and warm and easy going. On event day Deena brings a fun, calming spirit that puts everyone at ease. Her organization and prior planning ensures that the picture taking portion of the day is creative, inspired, and pain free.
As a coordinator, I appreciate how she treats our clients. She responds in a very timely manner. She is always available to chat, or attend a meeting so that we can nail down the timeline

D. Selbak Photography is the best experience I've had for pictures! She's amazingly creative, professional, and has an uncanny knack for capturing the moment...

I've recommended her to all my family and friends in Portland!
