We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lindsey and Hunter Wickert of The Wickerts' Photography for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience and the stunning photos they captured. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, Lindsey and Hunter demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for their craft. Their ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera was remarkable. As a couple who isn't naturally at ease being photographed, we were initially apprehensive. However, Lindsey and Hunter's warm personalities and easygoing approach quickly put us at ease, allowing them to capture authentic, candid moments that truly reflect our relationship. The quality of their work is outstanding. Our photos are vibrant, emotive, and beautifully composed, perfectly encapsulating the joy and love of our special day. Their unique style—a blend of candid and editorial photography—resulted in a collection of images that feel both timeless and personal. Moreover, their professionalism was evident throughout the entire process. They were punctual, responsive, and attentive to our needs and preferences. Their collaborative approach made us feel valued and heard, and their enthusiasm was infectious, adding an extra layer of joy to our wedding day.

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Columbia City, OR

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + adventure weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people 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.

Love knows no bounds. Every person is deserving of love and deserving of having it captured perfectly. I believe in equality. I believe in living simply and loving deeply. I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

1000/10!!! Bethany did both my husband and I’s engagement and elopement photos and they came out perfect! She had the perfect balance of directing us into poses mixed with sweet candids we didn’t even realize she was taking. Bethany was so easy to work with, going from joking around about crushing beers and making us laugh to providing privacy while capturing intimate vows. Her skills are unmatched and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Forget tradition. Screw the rules. You deserve photos that reflect your life, personality, and style, not some cookie-cutter session that looks like everyone else's. My name is Daniela (she/her). I'm a plus size, super tall queer. I'm detailed and organized, but am laid-back and will pivot quickly to adapt to changing circumstances. I believe in equity and inclusiveness of all loves, body types, and beings.  My favorite movie is Nightmare Before Christmas, I regularly rate dogs' butts, and I believe the highest compliment is being called "scrappy."

Daniela captured our wedding beautifully. She is a wonderful person to work with. We found her both professional and comfortable to work with.

I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for professional photos.

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!

I create joyful authentic & bright imagery- capturing what’s uniquely yours! Rooted in my love of nature, my editing style is true-to-color & true-to-the-moment, with the purpose of bringing you right back to the best day of life, all over again, for years to come!

I do not even know where to begin with how amazing our experience was with Taylor. Our wedding was in May 2024 at the Victorian Belle in Portland, and we chose the venue due to the amazing photo opportunities with the beautiful backdrop it provided. As we began to go through the process of picking our photographer, we continuously hit roadblocks. We couldn’t find someone who shared the vision of what we wanted. Or they would be booked on the day of our wedding. We even more than a few begin connecting with us to discuss details, then completely stopped responding. We were truly stressed about what we were going to do- photos are something you cannot miss on a day like this. Enter Taylor. We had our first meeting and after explaining what we would be looking for in terms of style, editing and shots, we felt so at ease that we had made the right decision. She listened to our input, and asked questions that we didn’t think to ask to clarify exactly what was expected. She even made suggestions to help improve our thoughts on what we had in our mind’s eye for the day. Taylor did a wonderful job and we could not wait to see our full album once she sent a few teaser photos after the event. Everything was stunning and came out even better than we imagined. We will be using Taylor for all of our big photo moments moving forward.

As the Mother of the Bride, i cannot say enough about Helen, our wedding photographer. When my daughter and her husband researched photographers, they were drawn to Helen's photos and her editing skills. And the fact that she was competitively but reasonably priced was a plus. During the planning process she was very accessible, and answered emails with complete and clear information. She is a warm and friendly person, but at the same time very professional. She had several virtual meetings with the bride and groom, and took care of every detail so that by the big day, we knew what to expect. During the wedding and reception, Helen was there to get the best shots without ever being in anyone's way. She emailed some beautiful shots after a few days, and then it only took three weeks to get the entire portfolio sent back to us! The newlyweds are absolutely in love with their photos. These pictures captured feelings and emotions, as well as wonderful visions of a perfect day. The wedding was at TImberline/Mt. Hood, and since Helen is a master of nature photography, the end result was perfect. I cannot recommend Anchor and Pine Collective enough!

Based in the PNW, I'm a seasoned photographer with 17+ years crafting love stories through weddings and portraits. Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do." Immerse yourself in the art of storytelling through my lens, turning your wedding day dreams into timeless memories.

We had booked another photographer whom we were no longer able to get in communication with closer to our wedding and but some luck found Joie who happened to be available on our wedding date! We were so lucky we found her when we did because Joie helped us tie up loose ends on our timeline and gave us ideas on best photo times and scenarios. We were also able to squeeze in a beautiful engagement session in San Francisco. We loved the city but Joie gave us some great insights on where to actually take the photos. On our wedding day, Joie was very thoughtful and made sure to take care of us all day long! We think its amazing that she was able to capture some of the candids that we wouldn't even have thought possible during our ceremony and reception and then gave us some absolutely dreamy sunset portraits! We can't thank Joie enough for the wonderful job that she did capturing our memories but more so than anything, treating us like we were friends and family and making the day feel so natural!

Hey, I'm Emily! A natural light photographer based in Portland Oregon who specializes in true-to-color edits and authentic captures. Like many photogs out there, I picked up a camera really young and haven’t put it down since. I never wanted to forget parts of my childhood and young adulthood, so it became second nature for me to document the things I loved with photographs in a very real and candid way. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t feel luckier that this hobby became a career focused on preserving life’s most precious moments for others. Who will be the girl behind the camera hyping you up while capturing some authentic moments?

We’re Ann and Kevin, the team behind Pastores Photography — a dual photography team based in Wilsonville, Oregon. Since 2009, we’ve been capturing life’s most meaningful moments through timeless portraiture, with a special passion for wedding photography. Our clients often tell us how comfortable and at ease they feel in front of our cameras. We’re known for our fun yet calming presence, our professionalism, and our dedication to capturing the true essence and vision of each couple’s wedding day — all while making you look and feel your absolute best.

We absolutely loved working with Ann and Kevin from Pastores Photography. From our very first meeting, they were fun, easygoing, and incredibly easy to feel comfortable around - which mattered a lot to us. You spend so much of your wedding day with your photographers, so feeling relaxed and able to be yourself is huge. That comfort is what allows those real, genuine “us” moments to shine through, and they created that space effortlessly. Throughout the planning process, they were so helpful. They partnered with our DJ to align on a detailed schedule they built out, helped us think through photos and moments we hadn’t even considered yet, and created a timeline that made everything feel clear and manageable. Their tag-team dynamic worked perfectly, and they helped keep us calm and grounded all day long. Our photos turned out beautiful - colorful, vibrant, and true to what the day actually looked like. We got married outdoors at The Water Oasis in Newberg during the fall, and they captured the changing leaves, greenery, and our moody fall colors exactly the way we hoped. We’re really glad we chose Ann and Kevin. They’re warm, friendly, professional, and genuinely great to have by your side on your wedding day. We’d absolutely recommend Pastores Photography to anyone looking for photographers who make the experience feel natural and enjoyable from start to finish.

Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. To capture a single moment while telling a beautiful love story is something I will cherish forever. I'm a born and raised oregonian. I love the outdoors. Most days you can find me at the local coffee shop, working out, or going thrift shopping. I love trail running, kayaking, and traveling.

From the moment we booked Kara Langley Photography, her communication was easy, fast, and friendly. Kara brings a professional and upbeat presence that helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. Her beautiful and effortless photography captured all of our special moments in a very genuine way (exactly what we were wanting). We had previously worked with Kara for our engagement photos, and are continually impressed by the quality of her work. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

I am a PNW girl, wife of my middle school sweetheart, Logan, and mama to three lazy kitties and a puppy. Most of the time you will catch me reading, taking long scenic drives with Logan, or sitting in watching a rom-com. Being engaged, and now married (still can’t believe it), has given me such a deep perspective of what a being a bride is really like. From day one, my goal is to capture what was real, with nothing forced or too posed. I want to tell stories. I want you to look at my images and feel something.

Sierra did our engagement photos as well as our wedding and she was professional, caring, and supportive the entire way! Not only is her photography amazing, she was also super helpful during both the planning and actual wedding. 1000% recommend Sierra to any wedding couples!!

Hey hey!! SO STOKED you're here! My name's Lennie! I'm based in Portland, OR but have been documenting engagements + tiny weddings all over the country since 2017. I'm a hardcore introverted enneagram 9 and am obsessed with my doggo, my husband, and all things travel!

I had to process what to write for DAYS!! There are no words to express how thankful I am for the photos we received. Not only are they absolutely PERFECT, but they truly embrace how we are as a couple. Lennie is so easy to get along with and made us feel so comfortable!! She’s absolutely AMAZING at what she does. There’s no way by the end of the shoot you won’t be smiling ear to ear!! THANK YOUUUUU.

Hey! I'm Sharlee, an adventure & pet-friendly elopement photographer based in Oregon. I have a background as a vet tech+ I'm an avid lover of hiking, camping, climbing, or anything outside. I am passionate about helping couples feel empowered to “break from tradition and create a wedding of your own” Whether that's exploring a new place together, cuddling in a cabin, or sharing a favorite food - I want your wedding day to feel authentic to YOUR relationship and what makes elopements so special. Being able to provide you with a fun, enjoyable experience & beautiful images that look like your own piece of art is what makes me beam.

We had a wonderful experience with Unleashed Elopements as our adventure elopement photographer. Sharlee was extremely personable and supportive throughout the planning process (and our unexpected changes of plans!), patiently answering all of our questions. On our big day, she captured breathtaking photos that we will treasure forever. The images are true art and perfectly encapsulate the special details and memories of our special day. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and the entire experience. Unleashed Elopements comes highly recommended for any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer to beautifully document your adventure elopement memories.
