because I love people and I love THE PLANET
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.
To my kindred adventurous souls, to the BIPOC
community, to the disabled, to my fellow members of
the LGBTQ+ community — I’m here, welcoming you
with open arms.
You deserve a wedding experience you’ll never
forget, regardless of what you look like, how old you
are, or who you love. And I’m going to make sure you
get it. Read my diversity and inclusion policy.

I’ve always felt a deeper, more spiritual connection to the Earth. And it’s
easy to see why, living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. But even
outside the region — like in Idaho where I grew up, western Montana
where I’ve vacationed, or northern California where I’ve hiked —
Mother Nature’s gifts are everywhere.
Now, it’s my turn to pay back some of the joy our planet has given me.
I’ve invested in becoming a Leave No Trace aware photographer,
conserving energy through my personal and business choices, and
continuing to lean into environmental activism.

So we can protect these keystone predators and their natural habitats.
So we can ensure trails remain accessible to everyone for generations to come.
So we can encourage, support and celebrate the positive diversity of the LGBTQ+ community.
So we can give students the chance to learn at inclusive and accessible Outdoor School programs.
Your love story. My photography skills. Our collective love for adventure, nature,
social justice, and the Pacific Northwest. Sounds like a match made in heaven, no?

Her photography style is grounded, emotionally rich, and documentary in nature. We didn’t want anything overly staged or stiff. We wanted to feel like ourselves, to laugh, explore, and be present. Nadia created the space for exactly that.
Both my husband and I are naturally shy and not super comfortable being the center of attention, so having a photographer we could genuinely relax around was incredibly important. From our very first conversation, Nadia felt like a calming, supportive guide, down-to-earth, thoughtful, and completely attuned to our energy. She didn’t just capture the events of the day, she told our story.

Working with/through Venture Ever After was a great experience, from start to finish.

[Nadia] 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.
She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details.
She has a knack for keeping wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW.

When my partner and I decided to elope in Olympic National Park, we knew finding a great photographer was the most important thing on our list.
She went above and beyond in so many ways; including securing our florals and bringing them to us the day of, AND, we had a small table delivered to her home for our private dinner that she brought to us as well. Her customer service is outstanding!
She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and she helped make our day incredible! You can tell that she really loves her job and cares for her clients deeply!

On a day that could have felt stressful, she made us feel completely safe in her hands. We always knew what was coming next, never felt rushed, and never felt like we were “performing” for the camera - we were simply living our day.
What stood out the most was how genuine the entire day felt. The laughs, the conversation, the way she drew real emotion out of us - nothing felt forced or staged. Feeling natural was so important to us, and her style absolutely delivered. The day stayed exactly what we wanted it to be: easy, intimate, and centered on love.
We truly cannot recommend Nadia enough. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented, but also grounding, thoughtful, and a joy to be around - she is your person.
