Private wet-plate wedding portraits
Sit for a handmade silver-on-metal portrait, not an instant photo booth.
Alchemy Tintype / Ashley Jennings Photography
Ashley Jennings offers private engagement, elopement and wedding tintype sessions through Alchemy Tintype. The wet-plate process creates individual photographs on metal, with couples or selected guests photographed in the studio, at home or at an agreed venue. Her wedding photography and Alchemy studio are one operator, not separate bookings businesses.
Current location note / listed area: Portland, Oregon; studio and drivable on-location sessions by inquiry
This is a slow portrait process, not a high-throughput photo booth or replacement for all-day photography. Bright natural light, temperature, multi-second stillness and location constraints apply; confirm guest count, timing, accessibility and the exact drive-to service area. Finished plates require several days of processing rather than immediate take-home delivery. The second-floor Portland studio has stairs and no elevator; alternative accessible locations are by inquiry. Appointment slots release monthly and specific availability must be confirmed. No chemistry handling by guests or archival-longevity guarantee is implied.
