Hi, it's me, Kiley! I am the proud mama of two young children, a rescued dog and two rescued cats, and I am grateful to be married to my best friend. I love the outdoors, cycling, yoga, strong coffee, cheesy romantic comedies, folk & bluegrass music, and great vegan food.

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.

As a wedding coordinator, working with Kyle is easy. He is communicative, creative, and professional. With his clients, Kyle has a calming personality that puts everyone at ease and he is there to capture every moment and memory. He is always up for a challenge, is adaptable, and produces an amazing product! I absolutely look forward to working with Kyle in the future.

Hey all!! I am so glad you're here! I am a Milestone photographer in Oregon! I shoot anything from engagements, to weddings, to newborns. However, I primarily focus on weddings. I would love to help you capture your big day with whatever vision you have! Let's chat!

Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with! We weren't sure if what kind of photos we wanted but Katie was able to give easy and clear poses that gave us stunning photos. The part I admired the most was her pulling us aside during dinner to capture the only sunlight that peeked from the sky that day, something that was unintentionally so meaningful to my husband because in that moment of sunshine he felt his late brother was there with us. She captured some of my favorite photos during that moment. Thank you Katie!!

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could write a book about Leah; or at least a very detailed blog post but I'll try to keep it shorter! As a fellow professional photographer, I got the opportunity to meet Leah and work with her as her 2nd photographer on a wedding. It took that one amazing experience and absolute blast of a time to know that whenever it was I got married she was THE photographer for me. Fast forward some years later it was finally my turn to tie the knot and my now husband and I chose our date based on when Leah was available, because there was no other option for me! I have gotten to work with dozens of photographers throughout my going on 10 year career, and I'm telling y'all, it doesn't get better than Leah. The photos - amazing! I love her eye for details, the crispness, the colors! Not to mention she is such a beautiful soul with the best personality and energy, with the professionalism to get a gallery worth of beautiful photos with you barely realizing she's there. While going through our gallery, I was stunned and overjoyed so many times to see things I had NO idea happened or even photos of people that I unfortunately didn't get to spend much time with yet seeing that they still enjoyed themselves. In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you can choose for your wedding day. I am so thankful my experience in the wedding industry allowed me to cross paths with Leah because that made a really important decision very easy for me. And I hope my review can help other soonlyweds out there make a hard decision easier. You will not go wrong choosing Leah to photograph your big day!

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Salem, 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.

Hello! I'm Robert. This is me. Let me tell you a bit about who I am and what I do. Love for photography, ​I am very passionate about working with my camera. If I am creating a little photo for myself that is never seen publicly or a project for a client, I put everything I have into making the photography I create as best I possibly can. Every click of the shudder is an opportunity for creating amazing photography. Every photo-shoot has options for photographs waiting to be found. Solving these puzzles with my camera and lighting is a lot of fun for me. I believe you can see that also. That's why you are here looking at my work now.

Robert (Modern Art Photograph) blew it out of the park for us. Before our wedding, he offered to chat with us on our needs/wants, which he listened to really well. At the wedding, he was everywhere! Our guests loved him and thought he was super friendly. He got so many great shots of our guests and did an incredible job with our first look/couple photos . He delivered the photos faster than we expected, and the transfer/downloading was very easy. He was our favorite vendor of the day. We could have asked for a better photographer for our wedding.

Her personality was perfectly balanced between having fun and getting the job done. She captured the feel of the day beautifully. I now have countless "tender moments" captured of my friends and family. Alyson was very attentive during the day always at the right place at the right time. We opted to add the photo booth for our reception which was absolutely priceless. We now have a 5 min stop-motion video of the photo booth. It is full of precious family moments that we will forever cherish. Alyson more than exceeded our expectations and provided us with more memories than I could dream of having.

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.

I have been a professional wedding photographer for 8+ seasons and captured hundreds of weddings from the Rocky Mountains to the West Coast. I am both a storyteller and historian with my camera in hand. I love to incorporate the amazing landscapes with rich colors and natural light. My focus is on my couples feeling comfortable in front of the camera. I like to give some direction and allow for real moments to happen rather than anything being forced. My work has been featured everywhere from ABC (The Bachelor franchise), Green Wedding Shoes, Oregon Wedding Day, BRIDES.

We cannot say enough good things about Ashleigh! To start, the photos she took both for our engagement shoot and wedding are absolutely stunning. We are blown away by the way she was able to capture all the colors and details and happy emotions - looking back at the pictures really makes us feel like we’re reliving the day all over again and we will treasure them forever. Also, we had never had our photos taken professionally before our engagement shoot and Ashleigh was so encouraging and made the shoot feel comfortable and fun! By the second time she took our pictures at our wedding, we felt like pros. Beyond her skill behind the camera, Ashleigh is an incredible person and has been a joy to work with. She is super responsive and was able to answer all our questions, even when we had questions beyond photos, like asking for other vendor recommendations. We will definitely be seeking out Ashleigh for all our photo needs going forward, and you should too!

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.

Hi, I'm Jaime. I'm an elopement and intimate wedding photographer based in the Pacific Northwest (and beyond). I'm also a trail runner, mountain lover, and dog wrangler. You'll find me seeking out 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!!!

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.

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
It is very obvious that Lauren is so passionate about what she does. My husband feels awkward in front of the camera but she did a great job with keeping it fun. You would never be able to tell he was awkward by the way the pictures came out, she did fantastic. Thank you Lauren for capturing such beautiful photos that we will cherish forever!

Color. Laughter. Personality. Three words that I think best sum up my images. I've been shooting weddings for over 15 years and loving every minute of it! From Martha's Vineyard to Puerto Rico, NYC to Portland & all in between, I've documented some amazing events. Big or small, the photos from your wedding day will travel with you throughout your lifetime.

Crystal of Crystal Genes Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding. Her communication style is direct, kind, and informative which made the awkwardness we both feel behind the lens of a camera melt away. The quality and uniqueness of her work is exceptional - she has a true talent for capturing emotional moments with beautiful composition and lighting. On our rainy wedding day, Crystal came prepared with umbrellas and tirelessly worked throughout the event to suggesting backdrops and decor for stunning photos. She is professional, confident, and capable with a passion for her craft that shines through. I wholeheartedly recommend Crystal to any couple looking for a photographer who will help make your wedding memories as special as the day itself.

Artistic storytelling for the fun, kind and adventurous. Hi friend! :) I'm your neighborhood artist, goofy empath, & lover of dogs and human beans. (Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose. 

Awarded Best of Zola
5 stars doesn't seem like nearly enough recognition for Jazmín and her absolutely beautiful work. From day one with us, she was incredibly kind, and sought out to learn more about us as both individuals and as a couple, to better capture the essence of who we are throughout our engagement shoot and wedding alike. She is so very talented and has such an incredible eye for the beauty in her clients, the world around them, and has such a deep perspective on how to blend all of these aspects together to ensure that you have these memories for the rest of your life. The days following our wedding, I felt very melancholy, as I had felt our fun filled day had gone by too fast. Now, with Jazmín's astonishing pictures and her ability to capture raw emotion in every frame, my wife and I have the blissful opportunity to relive our day together over and over and over again. Not to mention, she is an absolute sweetheart and made us feel so very special in so many ways. I PROMISE you needn't look any further when searching for a photographer to help you immortalize your special day with your loved ones.

The quality of their work was excellent, and the value was great considering how quickly we received our beautiful photos after the wedding. We couldn't be happier with Ozan Ulucan Photography and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
