Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I’m Nadia (she/her)!

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, 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

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.

If you’re looking for an elopement photographer in the PNW, Nadia is simply the best! (Take it from me because I’m actually an elopement photographer on the east coast!) When my partner and I decided to elope in Olympic National Park, we knew finding a great photographer was the most important thing on our list. Additionally, it was equally important to us to find someone inclusive, and someone we could really gel with!

When I came across Nadia, I could tell right away that she would fit the bill. After our first Zoom meeting, we knew she was the photographer for us!

She has been so attentive and helpful while we were trying to plan a magical elopement from across the country. She went above and beyond in so many ways; including securing our florals and bringing a them to us the day of, AND, we had a small table delivered to her home for our private dinner that she brought to us as well. Her customer service is outstanding!

She has truly become a friend to us during this whole process, and the day of our elopement it felt like we were hiking with an old friend. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and she helped make our day incredible! You can tell that she really loves her job and cares for her clients deeply!

Nadia is nothing less than incredible to work with. I couldn't imagine my wedding day to be anything other than what it was, and so much of that is credited to Nadia's expertise in the market. Working with/through Venture Ever After was a great experience, from start to finish.

She is so generous with the amount of research she does for you, and the resources she also provides a physical copy of. She helped make the whole process easy--and we live across the country. My husband and I imagined a wedding with only our immediate families, and something with mountains. Nadia helped us plan a 2-day elopement, with a beautiful wedding at Rattlesnake Lake, and a hike through Mt. Rainier's Skyline and Golden Gate trail the following day.

Nadia is the nicest person you'll ever meet, and really cares about capturing the authenticity of the moments of your wedding/elopement day. The pictures are breathtaking, and really are everything I wanted and more.

Nadia, thank you so much for your generosity, knowledge, patience, flexibility, kindness, craft, and love. You will be my highest recommendation for the rest of my life.

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.

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!

Natalie S

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.

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.
