After getting married in 2023, we felt a calling—to use our own love story to honor others through theirs.
As a husband and wife team, we don’t just take photos. We serve.
We believe weddings are sacred ground, and we show up with joy, reverence, and a deep desire to reflect the beauty of genuine love.
To us, every couple is more than a client—you’re someone we genuinely care for.
When you invite us into your day, you’re not just getting photographers.
You’re gaining two friends who are fully in your corner, celebrating, praying, and documenting every moment with intentionality and heart.
Kyle is the lead photographer and owner of Ivory Creek. Outside of photography, you'll likely find him reading a John Mark Comer book with lofi playing in the backround. Dedicated to a Sabbath every Wednesday, he also enjoys slowing down and embracing stillness.
Olivia is the co-owner and photographer, also working as an RN in Portland. She enjoys cozy nights with Kyle, trying new recipes, and painting, puzzles, and gardening. Olivia wears many talented hats, including being a new mom!
Drawn to the relational side of photography and the chance to serve more couples in a team environment, he stepped into the Ivory Creek story—and we couldn’t be more grateful to have him.
He serves as a YoungLife leader at his former high school and is deeply rooted in his faith community at Grace Chapel in Wilsonville.
Balancing being a wedding photographer along with being a full time doctoral student is Katie's every day. She also enjoys playing guitar, hiking, and binging a new Netflix series. Ask her about her Bernese mountain pup, Chef!
What began in 2019 as “Kyle Shawn Photography”—just a guy with a camera and a heart for people—slowly grew into something much bigger.
By 2023, I (Kyle) married Olivia and knew I wanted to bring her into this work we now call ministry. We rebranded as Ivory Creek Photography, a husband and wife team with a shared passion for capturing covenant love with intention and reverence.
Our first fully booked summer in 2024 reminded us that when you walk in obedience, God brings the increase. We can't wait to see what He has in store next.
While Kyle & Olivia take on a limited number of weddings each year, we’re grateful to have an incredible associate team—Katie and Gabe—who are equally gifted in capturing sacred, joy-filled moments.
Every couple who works with them is still fully supported by the Ivory Creek experience: we personally oversee all communication, relationship-building, and editing, so the final gallery reflects the same heart, quality, and intentionality we’re known for.
Your story is in the best hands—with people who care deeply and shoot with purpose.
“From beginning to end, this experience is one I will never forget. Kyle & Olivia paid attention to every detail and made sure that all of the beautiful moments of our special day were captured.”
If they are available, you need to book them now! Kyle & Olivia transformed our special day into an unforgettable experience. They have an incredible talent for capturing genuine moments with such artistry and passion. Trust me, you won't regret it!"
Choosing Ivory Creek was the best decision we made! They have a remarkable talent for capturing genuine, heartfelt moments that truly tell the story of our special day. Their professionalism and creativity exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories they've created for us.
