About Venture Ever After

Venture Ever After

Owner

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.

I do this work for two reasons: Because I love people and I love the planet. People -   I love all types of people, and yet all types of people are not always celebrated in the wedding industry, or in outdoor spaces.   F that.   You deserve a wedding experience you’ll never forget, regardless of what you look like, how old you are, or who you love. Planet - I’m a Leave No Trace aware photographer, conserving energy through my personal and business choices, and continuing to lean into environmental activism. Giving Back - I donate $200 to an organization of your choice when you book with me.

VEA is a Must for Weddings/Elopements in the PNW
•Verified review
•Morgan D.•May 31, 2024
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.

Morgan! My goodness, I could never write down all the happy emotions I have over knowing that you two trusted *me* to help you plan, execute, and document such an incredible day. I still think about your elopement almost daily (truly!), and it absolutely made a huge impact on me in really meaningful ways. It means so much to me to know that I was able to help you two have a celebration that was true-to-you and where you could be present with one another in really genuine ways. I sooo wish you two lived closer; I truly would love to see you again. Please don't hesitate to reach out the next time you're in the PNW! Thank you so much again for your trust and the honor of being a part of your wedding day.

Nadia is by far one of the most amazing individuals we have ever worked with. From the very start she was attentive, caring, professional and really created an experience we didn't even know we wanted!!! The questions she asked to help us dream about our perfect engagement photo shoot and wedding day literally came to life. We didn't even know we wanted an engagement photoshoot and now this is one of our most cherished memories. We felt incredibly comfortable and connected the entire time along with precious moments I didn't even know could be captured. On our wedding day, she was so incredibly organized, she kept us moving without feeling rushed and we even got the little moments away from all of the activity to be together and really soak up our day. The photos are stunning, as we looked over them we could feel the emotion we were feeling on our wedding day, you can't make that up. We cannot recommend her more - if you don't book with her, you're missing out not only on beautiful memories but also getting to meet one of the most kind individuals to walk this planet!

Oh, Kellie, you know how much I love you and Josh! Thank you so much for trusting me with so many important and once-in-a-lifetime memories. I'll never be able to fully express to you how much it means to me to have gotten to be a part of your wedding experience. You two deserve all the best things in life, and it makes me so happy to know that I was able to have such a positive impact on such a milestone in your lives together. Adore you to pieces!
Best photographer ever!

Nadia was a joy to work with! Out of all our vendors, she was the most consistent with communication and the most helpful with referrals for anything we needed. She checked in with us even when there wasn't a deadline looming. She was super friendly, relatable and an AMAZING photographer. We are not very comfortable taking pictures and she made it very easy for us to be in the moment. We 100% recommend her for your special day or any event you have.

Thank you so so much, Tara! You two were truly an absolute joy to work with. I loved your day, and more than anything I loved getting to know you two. It means so much to me that you chose me to document and be a part of something so important. It's not lost on me the amount of trust you put into me, and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you both; I'll never forget your wedding day!

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.

Thank you so so much for trusting me to help you two have the most memorable and beautiful elopement day, Tayler! I still think about your elopement ALL the time. It truly was so unforgettable. I took it very much to heart how much trust you two put in me, especially traveling from far away. And I'm so grateful that I got to do the adventure that was your elopement day with you. I'm really never ever going to forget that day. My only wish is that you lived closer so I could see you two more in person!

While I fully believe that folks should celebrate exactly how they really want to (and sometimes that means a big, traditional wedding!), I specialize in small, intimate weddings and elopements of 30 people or less. This is largely because I often work with folks looking to get married in nature, and many public land spaces simply can't support a bigger crowd. That said, I take a limited number of larger weddings each year. So, if you are planning something with a bigger guest list and a dedicated venue, and you connect with me/my work, please don't hesitate to reach out!

This varies depending on the location, number of guests, and your overall vision for your day. I've typically seen that eloping couples tend to book me about 4-8 months before their wedding date, while folks planning something like an intimate wedding that maybe has a booked intimate venue with a small guest list might book me a little further out, at 6-12 months. There's no set rule for how far out to book, but keep in mind that if you're getting married in the outdoors, we'll need time to apply for permits and other logistics, so giving yourself *at least* 1-2 months is best.

My packages are focused on photography-related services, and I don't personally offer videography. That said, I have a curated list of AMAZING videographers that I've worked with in the past and would highly recommend, and I'm happy to share those names and contact info with my clients. These folks are not only talented, but because we've worked together before, you also get the benefit of a cohesive team who will work seamlessly with each other to deliver not only an excellent end product for you, but more importantly, an exceptional experience.

I always aim to deliver a handful of sneak previews to you within a week and a half of your wedding or session date. Full galleries are delivered within 8 weeks, though often sooner during slower seasons (e.g. winter).

Venture Ever After is made up of two photographers: Nadia (hi, that's me!) is the primary photographer and owner. Cassidy is an official associate photographer and member of the Venture Ever After team. We have a combined 25+ years of experience in the wedding industry, and we've spent the last 4 years working closely together. Cassidy became an official part of the Venture Ever After team in late 2023, and we're so excited to be able to work with even more folks now, helping them have a personalized and intentional PNW elopement experience.
