Oregon Wedding Photography & Videography Duo
We're The Schwabs
We’re Annika & Marcus Schwab, a Portland-based husband-and-wife photo and video team capturing weddings across Oregon and beyond. We were best friends for nearly a decade before falling in love and building Schwab Creative together—what started as a dream (and a few jokes) turned into the most meaningful work we could imagine: documenting love stories.
Our approach to wedding photography and videography is relaxed, people-first, and rooted in connection. We’re here to guide you through the planning process, offer support when you need it, and document your day as it genuinely unfolds—not overly posed, not overly styled, just real.
We believe your wedding isn’t a photoshoot—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and we’re honored to tell your story in a way that feels true to you.
KIND WORDS FROM PAST CLIENTS
"Marcus and Annika agreed to film our wedding ONE WEEK before the actual day! I had been regretting not having video and my friend pushed me to reach out to them. Well thank goodness I did because not only will we have our gorgeous video forever, but Marcus and Annika’s energy and encouragement brought such joy to our day. We can’t thank them both for really showing up for us and for creating beautiful art that we get to cherish for years to come"

KIND WORDS FROM PAST CLIENTS
"Any expectations you have for capturing your special day, Annika & Marcus will far surpass. They are so phenomenal at what they do, it completely blew us away. They documented our wedding in a way we will cherish forever. I didn't realize we had been smiling so much, or notice the details of the day, so it was heart-warming to see. Being able to see our guests reactions and re-live the day in this way, is priceless. Annika and Marcus are genuinely such kind and pleasant people to be around. We are so grateful to them for documenting the best day of our lives, in such a beautiful way."

"Annika and Marcus were my emotional support blanket on my wedding day. With them around I knew I was taken care of that nothing could go truly wrong. Not only was their presence a comfort, their photography style captured the authentic joy and experience of our wedding day. Whether it be them going above and beyond recording all material from the weekend, their energy they brought to the dance floor, their comfort and support to get us moments alone, or their true dedication to getting the best shot they go above and beyond for their clients.

KIND WORDS FROM PAST CLIENTS
"We had the pleasure of having Annika and Marcus spend time with us and capture many, memorable moments throughout our wedding weekend. They were thoughtful and professional during the process of planning the shots we wanted. One of our hopes was to get candid moments - and they didn’t disappoint! From our dinner meeting for planning, to the rehearsal, and then finishing with the wedding, their creativeness was felt and they captured everything and more! The Schwabs are incredibly fun to work with and we are so happy to have chosen them for such an important moment in our lives. *Our favorite, personal touch was the gifted Polaroids at the end of the night!"
