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.

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!

TLDR; Nadia is the best choice for your wedding and engagement photography! Just pick her, you absolutely won’t regret it!

Nadia has been such a perfect fit for our wedding photography. We had four photographers lined up to interview, as we were unsure how to pick such an important partner for our day. We had questions ready to go, expectations on pricing, and goals for getting engagement photos taken sooner rather than later. Nadia was the second photographer we chatted with, and immediately after, we canceled the remaining appointments with the other photographers. She was the perfect fit! She was kind, our values aligned, and we so appreciated her commitment to philanthropy of organizations that were impactful. She asked us all the questions and answered all of ours, really getting to know us and our desires for our big day. She made us feel seen and heard with our preferences. Nadia sent multiple packages to fit our needs, including engagement photos and different lengths of time for shooting our intimate wedding. She also very quickly scheduled engagement photos for us that were absolutely unique! She asked us what we love to do together and was completely on board when we offered thrift shopping, walking in the park with our dog, and getting ice cream! How special and truly unique to us! Nadia was so flexible when the morning of was a bit chaotic for me, due to a last second cancellation of a makeup appointment. She was kind and supportive as we started the session a bit frazzled! The whole day was beautiful and fun, never stressful, and it felt like we were enjoying a day with an old friend!
Nadia sent sneak peeks of the engagement session within the week and allowed us to send out a save-the-date right away. She delivered the rest of the photos very soon after, and we were so impressed with the amount of perfect shots that she captured.

As we prepared for the wedding day, Nadia worked with us to create a timeline that was incredibly helpful. I’m a very planned and organized person, so having this advanced planning and timeline was absolutely essential to a smooth wedding day. She alleviated so much of the stress that I had with developing the plan for the day. Nadia also sent over ideas and chatted with us to ensure that the day went as we hoped, sending us a questionnaire to make sure she got all of the family photos we wanted, had a first look where and when we imagined, and the super special moments towards the end of the day together during golden hour.
On the Wedding day, Nadia was instrumental to this day going as beautifully and smoothly as it did. I seriously cannot imagine the day without her. She helped me make sure my lipstick wasn’t on my teeth, helped me put on my bracelets, gave me calming words and support, and expertly captured every single shot and way more! My husband and I felt so completely relaxed and comfortable with her, as she had become not only our photographer but a friend throughout the process. Nadia transformed our beautiful setting into a magical atmosphere that made our photos shine. She delivered sneak peeks less than a week after our special day, that we had the opportunity to enjoy while still on our honeymoon. That was so special! The sneak peeks alone captured our day so beautifully, we were absolutely shocked that when the remaining photos were delivered a little over a month later, there were even more perfect shots! My husband noted how impressive it was that she seemed to capture multiple moments around the reception seemingly simultaneously! It seemed like she was in four places at once with the incredible footage she took. I cannot rave enough about the experience we shared with Nadia. The photos she captured of our wedding day will be cherished for many years to come. She is thoughtful, helpful, supportive, and a truly special person. I would and have recommended her over and over and will continue to do so. Nadia, thank you a million times over for everything you have done to help us preserve our beautiful day.
