Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I’m Nadia (she/her)!

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and currently based in Oregon, I have an endless love for this region’s landscapes and the adventurous couples drawn to them. Creating unique, awe-inspiring elopement experiences is my passion, and I’d be honored to capture yours.


My Core Values

This work is driven by two things: a love for people and a deep respect for the planet.

Celebrating All Love

The wedding and outdoor industries don’t always make space for everyone. That’s a problem, and I’m dedicated to fighting against it.

🌿 BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and all adventurous spirits—you belong here.
🌿 Your elopement should reflect who you are—your love story deserves to be honored in all its uniqueness.
🌿 No matter your background, identity, or love story, I’m here to ensure your day is nothing short of incredible.

Protecting the Wild Places We Love

Nature gives us the most incredible backdrops for love stories—let’s take care of it in return.

🌎 Leave No Trace Certified—ensuring every adventure is low-impact
🌎 Dedicated to eco-conscious choices in both business and life
🌎 Passionate about preserving the outdoors for future explorers

Let’s create a wedding experience that’s authentic, adventurous, and environmentally responsible. All while you spend one of the best days of your lives together.

When my husband and I started out the wedding planning experience we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Not only were we doing an elopement but we were traveling over 1,000 miles to do so. We looked at many photography sites on google and Venture Ever after stood out to us. We like the vibes of the pictures and the give back part of the packages. We had our first phone meeting with Nadia in the early stages of planning and she made us both feel so comfortable about our visions and expectations. She did so much scouting at our dream location which as helpful because we weren’t going to be able to see it before the wedding. Nadia is so warm and makes you feel like you have been life long best friends. She is also extremely professional and exceptional at her craft. Our wedding day had an unexpected guest, Mother Nature, but she took it in strides. She braved the freezing cold on top of a mountain with us. She brought gloves with warmers for me and even extra blankets. She is so thoughtful. She really saved the day and came up with great ideas for new plans since the weather did not cooperate. I would and have recommended her to all of my friends.

Holy wow we have nothing but incredible things to say about Nadia and Venture Ever After. Her photos are phenomenal, but more amazing is the experience of working with her. From the beginning she made the experience personal to us as a couple and made a genuine connection with us. Nadia is your wilderness and adventure guide, a jokester when you're feeling camera shy, and someone you can put your trust in to capture memories that you'll have for a lifetime. We would recommend her to anyone who wants to make their day about spending quality time together making new memories outdoors!

Having gorgeous outdoor photos that captured the beautiful scenery of our wedding ceremony was the most important thing to me for my big day and I as I started my search for a micro-wedding photographer who specialized in outdoor adventure photography, I was quickly overwhelmed but set at ease when I came across Nadia. From the initial video consultation, I knew Nadia’s personality, structured organization and kindness was a perfect match for me and my husband. We are both shy people who do not like to be the center of attention, let alone enjoy people taking our photos, so having a photographer we were comfortable with was extremely important...Our day was what it was thanks to Nadia and I know she will be our go-to photographer for every occasion moving forward. Overall, if you are thinking about hiring Nadia - DO IT! You will not regret it. I could not speak more highly of her professionalism, kindness, organization, familiarity, and of course, her talent!

We were initially nervous and felt very unprepared to speak with photographers because we had zero ideas for what our special day would look like, but after our call with Nadia we were confident that Venture Ever After was the right choice for us. She was so knowledgeable and did a TON of legwork planning our timeline to best capture the moments we wanted in the lighting we needed, recommending a variety of locations for some private moments as a couple and group activities with our family, and keeping us grounded and calm throughout the entire process.

On our wedding day, Nadia took the reigns and gently guided us through the day with compassion and grace. She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details. She even conquered some pretty crazy heights armed with multiple cameras and a walky-talky to capture some dramatic and beautiful couple’s portraits.

Beyond being an incredible photographer, Nadia is one of the most genuine and kind people I’ve met. She has a knack for keeping elopement/wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. My partner and I truly felt like models. I feel so blessed to have our wedding photographed by her and, above all, be able to call her a friend.

I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW. In fact, I hope to be able to visit her and capture anniversaries and momentous occasions for our family long into the future.

We would 100% recommend Nadia, Cassidy, and Venture Ever After for anyone looking to get married in the PNW. In finding a photographer we needed someone to help us figure out where to get started, what to look forward to, and to guide us along the way. We wanted something simple and easy, but even that came with some stressors. Nadia and Cassidy provided us with a detailed itinerary for the day and constant communication. On my elopement day we were so at ease. The photos were beautiful and everything we ever wanted. I appreciate being able to share those memories with the friends and family who could not come. Although Nadia and Cassidy were hired for photos and to officiate the ceremony, they helped with so much more. From flower shop recommendations, hotel stay suggestions, restaurants, even ceremony ideas. We are forever grateful!

Nadia is nothing less than exceptional! If you do not use her for your wedding, you will come to regret it! I have worked with numerous photographers through my job--all of whom were great; however, Nadia was the best photographer I have ever hired. From our initial call with her to post-wedding, she has gone above and beyond. She is an excellent communicator, logistical wiz, incredibly talented, and the warmest, kindest person to work with. There just are not enough words to possibly describe how amazing every photo that Nadia snapped. She has mastered her craft. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting, and captured moments that my husband and I will treasure forever.

Going into a small and intimate wedding, we knew our photographer was going to be one of the most important choices we made, and choosing Nadia ended up being the BEST decision we made. She made the entire process effortless and fun, and she was there for us every step of the way.

This was a destination wedding for us, so Nadia’s experience and expertise in photographing couples in the PNW was even more valuable to us. We would be in the midst of planning and would think, “Huh I wonder about *insert any wedding question or issue here*” and we would wake up the next morning to an email from Nadia covering all of the topics we had discussed privately and hadn’t even asked her yet. She is just that on top of things and is always one step ahead of her clients throughout the entire process. She is THAT GOOD.

From an amazing engagement photo shoot that took up her entire Sunday, which yielded the most stunning photos that brought tears to our eyes, to the most memorable wedding day spent with her prioritizing our wishes as a couple, we could not recommend Nadia enough. She made us both feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera and did an amazing job highlighting our love.
