About Us
Portland and Bend Wedding, Event and Headshot Photographers
Welcome to Stark Photography!
Stark Photography is a wedding and portrait studio with offices in Portland and Bend, Oregon. We specialize in wedding photography, event photography and professional headshots.
Our story:
We’re Daniel and Lindsay Stark, your friendly photographers on a journey fueled by creativity and a love for storytelling.
It all began in a college photography class many moons ago when fate (or perhaps Daniel’s tardiness) brought us together.
Fast forward to 2008, we said “I do” and swiftly launched Stark Photography.
Since then, we’ve photographed over 300 weddings, events and portraits, spanning from the local charm of Portland, Oregon, to the far reaches of Australia and Greece.
Photography has allowed us to meet fascinating people and capturing beautiful stories worldwide.
We’re always seeking new creative opportunities to learn, push boundaries, and capture incredible moments.
Beyond the lens, we’re explorers at heart. Daniel rides waves and conquers marathons wherever the wind takes him, while Lindsay, a certified yoga teacher and has hiked almost every peak in Central Oregon.
And there’s more to our adventure – we have two amazing kids, Milo (6) and Penelope (8), who infuse even more joy and excitement into our journey. They’re our little explorers, always ready for new adventures.
Now we want to hear about you.
