Hi, I'm Jaime. I'm an adventure, brand, elopement and wedding photographer in the Pacific Northwest (and beyond). I'm also an ultra marathoner, mountain lover, and dog wrangler, who needs regular access to tall peaks, old growth forests, rocky coastlines, and everybody-knows-your-name wine bars. All bodies, abilities, cultural backgrounds, and types of love are welcome here.

Jaime was our wedding photographer and WOW what a dream she was to work with. She is a fantastic mix of professional, personal & brilliant creative. I don’t love being in front of a camera and she made it all so easy. The ultimate product she delivered was BEAUTIFUL. Additionally, our friends and family raved about our photos (we received in record time). Don’t hesitate hire her!!!

Hi, I’m Kyle. I’m Northwest born, Portland based, and like to think that I have pines trees sprouting from my skin and sun-soaked glacial runoff coursing through my veins. Aside from photographing weddings, I enjoy strenuous hikes with a view as much as indie flicks, comic books, carving powdery slopes, rock climbing, and Trail Blazers games. I like to share these details because I strongly believe that connecting with the couples I collaborate with is integral to the creative process of photographing a wedding. A strong connection will result in the best images possible.

We've had the honor of sharing clients with Kyle many times over the years and are consistently dazzled by his work. We appreciate his professionalism, he's always been very responsive to communication, and his artistry captures the emotion and the details of the day beautifully.

Kevin (our photographer) and Ben (our videographer) were amazing and so on top of making sure they got all the shots.  We absolutely LOVED the photos. Kevin was able to capture beautiful candid moments and was great at directing us for the couple and family photos. And wow, the video, I have not stopped replaying our wedding video since we received it a couple days ago. Ben did a phenomenal job capturing the essence of our wedding and vows.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Bay City, OR

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + intimate weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people in love have the wedding of their dreams in magical outdoor spaces. When you choose to elope, you’re choosing to get married free of society’s wedding day expectations. So go wild! Spend the entire day in your favorite place, with your favorite person. Wear a fancy outfit, or wear your hiking boots. Invite your dog instead of your mom’s second cousin. Share your first kiss under the stars instead of under an altar. In the great outdoors, you write the wedding rules. And I’m here to help make it an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began looking for a photographer for our micro-wedding, we gravitated towards Nadia’s images over and over again. Not only did they capture raw, intimate moments between couples and families, but they elevated those moments in elegant and natural landscapes of the PNW; everything we wanted. We reached out and set up a consultation call immediately. 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.

I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other.

Wedding photography that's all about you. alyson levy PHOTOGRAPHY specializes in creating gorgeous images that tell your unique love story. I rely on years of experience and an artist's eye to capture crucial moments without drawing focus, creating heirloom quality photographs that sparkle with humor and emotion.

We had been together already for ten years and welcomed our first child ten months prior to the wedding date. We just wanted a big celebration with our friends and family at the coast in a campground. Juggling the party preparations and our son made it nearly impossible to think about many of the flourishes other couples dream up for their days. But we had Alyson, who could draw upon her experience, creativity, confidence and skill to give us ideas before the event and to make great decisions for us on the day. I'm shocked at how many moments she captured when I was totally unaware of her presence. Looking at the images really lets us relive the day. She was prompt with the editing and easy to work with.

Definitely one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. We had Ann Marie do our engagement photos and we loved her from the start and loved how they came out. We were devastated when we found out she was already booked for our wedding date, but she got us set up with one of her associates Elena at a discounted rate. Even though she wasn't going to be there on our big day she still put in so much effort to help us decide the timeline and the shot list. She kept in contact with us the whole time and really made us feel confident about the big day. She will still be doing the editing in her style and we are absolutely thrilled with the sneak peek shots we've gotten so far! She even threw in an extra photographer for us for free which was incredibly kind of her, although unfortunately that photographer was sick on the day of the wedding so we still ended up with just one. But Elena was great and made us feel totally at ease and got every shot on the list. She kept everything running on time despite the timeline having been created for two photographers. Ann Marie and Elena were a dream team to work with and I can't say enough good things about them.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Absolutely effortless, at organically creating magic. You can’t hide talent and that is just what this power team have together. A natural eye for seeing the beauty in all things around them and perfectly capturing and captivating the moment and the story. Be smart and hire someone that can tell your story in the most beautiful way. They stay trending and ahead of the game as well but yet the work is timeless. It’s true art!!!

Through a blend of 35mm film and digital photography, I capture timeless, heartfelt images that reflect the essence of your unique love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I reached out to Stef a couple of days before my last-minute City Hall ceremony scheduled for 9:30am on a Friday. That’s too early and too last-minute for many wedding photographers, but Stef was such a great sport. She took a few posed photos of the group then followed us on a walk up the Bowery and through Chinatown to get to our brunch spot, snapping fantastic documentary-style photos all along the way. We wanted to remember the moment for what it was, without staging shots. The photos were exactly what we hoped for.

There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail. Hi! My name is Anna– I am an elopement and wedding photographer helping adventurous couples say “I do” on their own terms from coast to coast.

Anna is so sweet, caring, and a great communicator. As a wedding planner, it was great to work with her and she captured the beauty of the venue so well. The portraits and couple photos are stunning. Would definitely recommend her!

I am so glad you found your way here! My name is Steph (it's lovely to meet you!). I was born and raised overseas in Sri Lanka and moved to the beautiful PNW for college and decided to stay. The world and the people in it are too beautiful not to be art - so here we are creating art out of the beautiful moments you and your lives bring into being. Besides taking photos, I am a big fan of milk tea, hedgehogs, my kid and husband, sleeping in, summer, curry, and friends to share it with. I would love to hear more about you and your story and how I can help document some of your beautiful moments!

Steph is a treat to be around period, and even more so in a work setting! We’ve worked together on a handful of weddings now and you really couldn’t imagine a better second shooter if you tried. Communicative, warm, supportive, hard working… are just some of the many things that make her an an incredible wedding photographer! She puts everyone at ease while also making whoever is in front of her lens feel like the most fabulous person in the room. She’s wonderfully reliable and I would trust her with my life honestly! Can’t rave about her enough. This industry suites her beautifully!

Hey I'm Liz! I've been in business as a wedding and portrait photographer since 2015, and have had a camera in my hand since the days before digital. After nine years in the industry my brain is absolutely full of specific knowledge I can only use for weddings, so please please use me as a resource. I live outside Portland with my Husband, kids, dog and cat. In my free time you can find me at a Mexican restaurant, a Movie Theater, or in any body of water. As an aging Millennial I've also recently gotten into retirement hobbies like birding and gardening.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liz was so easy to work with. She took our engagement photos and wedding photos. During our wedding planning session as a bride I was all over the place but she was able to help figure out photos that were needed and set a timeline with me. On the day of our wedding, it seemed that time sped up and there was a million things to do. As our timeline didn’t go as planned, most weddings don’t, Liz was able to think on her feet and get a new timeline so we were able to get all of our shots in that we wanted and still be able to enjoy our wedding, dancing, guest and each other. After getting our photos back many of our family and friends mentioned how wonderful Liz was, her attention to detail and how they would love to use her in the future. Whenever we talk about future photo shoots that we want, Liz is always brought up and will be the first to call when we need new photos!

Every individual has a unique tale, and mine is quite the whirlwind! When I was 5, my family left our Michigan home and has been on the move ever since. After living across the globe, I now proudly call Oregon my home sweet home with my wonderful husband, our sweet daughter, and our White German Shepherd! My journey toward becoming a wedding photographer is fueled by my romantic spirit, hope for deep connections, and wandering the world in pursuit of love. The idea of spreading love near and far, and passing on that love through generations puts a smile on my face every day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Lauren as my wedding photographer for my wedding in June of 2024 and truly can't find the words to accurately describe how incredible she was. Capturing the memories of our day was such an important piece of our wedding and we really did not take our photographer selection lightly. My husband and I are also not the most comfortable people around a camera, so I wanted to find someone who was not only a talented and creative photographer, but also someone who would make us feel comfortable. Lauren went above and beyond at doing that. She captured the big moments beautifully, but also captured the small intimate moments. I was amazed looking back at some of the photos, because I hadn't even realized she was there taking them. She was mindful of all the shots we requested, but also came to us with poses and ideas that ended up being some of our favorite photos from the wedding. She was so communicative with planning and I always felt like we were in good hands, not to mention she sent us sneak peek photos before I had even washed my wedding makeup off that night! Her energy was infectious and she melted into our day so effortlessly. I am so beyond happy we chose Lauren and will recommend her to everyone looking for a photographer to capture their most special moments!

I had the pleasure of working with Olivia twice this summer. She is sweet and calm but can also work quickly and efficiently to ensure she is capturing all of the important moments. My favorite moment this summer was supporting her during sunset photos at a vineyard. She was able to guide the couple through some quick cues, but also knew some of their favorite poses they were most comfortable with. It was a perfect balance of both and the photos turned out wonderful! I would absolutely love to work with Olivia again!

My aim is to create a film that you can come back to for years to come. I want it to feel cinematic, but more than anything, I want it to feel sentimental. The shots that excite me the most are the candid moments with family, friends, and your fiancé. A little about me; In 2015, my journey into photography began when I bought a camera from a pawn shop. Now, after eight years, I've captured weddings, music videos, and a diverse array of corporate and social media content across the United States. It's been a journey of learning the art of storytelling through still images and video.

Kyle is wonderful. He has an incredible eye and the photos we received are perfectly edited and quick to land in my inbox. He's fun and easy to talk to and definitely makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera (normally something I'm very uncomfortable with). He has a wealth of ideas and is not afraid to help with poses and making sure you look amazing in each photo. I would HIGHLY recommend!

I shoot mostly film, medium format and 35mm, as well as a little bit of digital, to create timeless imagery that ages gracefully. I am trained as a fine art photographer, studying at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and SFAI. I live in Portland, OR but am happy to travel.

Jess was above our expectations. She was supportive and open minded and she was so natural and down to earth. It was so easy having her around and the photos seemed so authentic and really honored who each of us are as individuals. We knew the day would be fleeting, and we wanted someone to capture all the magic of the day, little moments and big, and she did just that. We are so grateful for her and would choose her again every time.!
