Portrait of the Photos By Orion photographer Orion DavidsonOrion Davidson, M.T.

Born and raised in Salem, OR, Orion has been a photographer since high school. He inherited the love from his father and was already very artistic by the time he graduated in 1997. Throughout college, he continued to upgrade his equipment and hone his photographic skills. In 2002, Orion joined Digital Photography Challenge , an online community of photographers who enter photographs in challenges in order to increase their skills and gain recognition. In 2003, Orion and Kathryn were married and also photographed their first wedding together for some friends of theirs. Both Orion and Kathryn fell in love with the process of wedding photography. Orion enjoys capturing the emotions and natural beauty that is all around him.

Kathryn is the business manager and associate photographer. Also born and raised in Salem, Kathryn began studying photography when she met Orion in high school. He began teaching her the basics and she developed her photographic eye with scenic and product photography.  In 2003, Kathryn and Orion began photographing weddings for their friends and found a new photographic love. They continued to work as a team photographing events, and after Kathryn obtained a Masters of Business Administration degree from Portland State University in 2009, she and Orion decided to take their love of photography from hobby to business. While she still enjoys a nice scenic view, Kathryn's joy now is portraits and photojournalistic photography. She loves capturing special, beautiful moments and the love a family shares.
