Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I’m Nadia (she/her)!

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I have an endless love for its 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.

Choose Nadia! Just do it - she's the best. Nadia photographed our micro wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic, so she was one of only four other adults at our ceremony - and the single person we spent the most time with on our wedding day. She is a wonderful human who has an incredible knack for capturing all the special moments while staying out of the way of them. Some photographers don't understand that it's not about them - Nadia is the complete opposite. She added to the fun on our wedding day by just being her, and her time management and planning support were a huge stress reliever. And wow - her photos are AMAZING. My husband and I are both perfectionistic designers with a combined 30 years of experience between us - we don't hand out aesthetic compliments unless they're well deserved. Nadia also provides super responsive customer service. I seriously don't know where she finds the time to do all she does and do it so well. All I know is how grateful we are that we chose her (and we say that to each other and our friends/family frequently!). Choose Nadia.

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!

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.

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.

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.
