Hi!! I’m Karmen. Your photographer, memory-keeper, and calm presence on your biggest day. I don’t just take pictures, I preserve what it felt like. Life moves fast, and my mission is to freeze the laughter, tears, and quiet glances into images you’ll treasure forever. My style blends documentary storytelling with editorial artistry. I’ll guide you when needed, then fade into the background to capture the moments you don’t even notice. No stiff posing, just playful, romantic prompts. I’m driven by creating something beautiful and serving others with intention. Your love is sacred, your confidence matters, and your story is your legacy.

From the beginning, KNCAPTURES was a pleasure to work with. Their communication was clear, communicative, friendly, and inviting, putting us at ease throughout the process. On our wedding day, the photographer was incredibly attentive, helping with all the little details to ensure we got the perfect photos to capture our special day. The quality of their work was excellent, with a very good attention to detail that really shines through in the final images. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. KNCAPTURES was an integral part of making our wedding day perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
Going into the wedding planning process, my now husband and I didn’t have a strong vision for what we wanted in terms of photography. We just wanted to have lots of fun and end up with some great candid shots. We chose Original Weddings because we really liked their Instagram photos, and they had pricing options that fit our budget comfortably. Their online platform and regular communication made the process super simple and straightforward. We met with the Original team and our photographer, Eugene, a month or so before the wedding, and gave him pretty much no direction except that we wanted a lot of candid shots. The day of the wedding, he was on point. He got amazing candid shots, but also recommended certain group photos or locations for us to shoot throughout the evening. We are so thrilled with how our photos turned out, and owe it all to Eugene’s guidance, skill, and professionalism.

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.

Our journey with Ann Marie started when we won (after the first winners didn’t need it after all) her engagement photo package at the Portland Venue Crawl. We were beyond grateful and excited to win such a valuable experience and quickly realized that Ann Marie was going to be so fun to work with. She helped us pick an amazing location that required some travel for her, and it was so much fun - we got sun, fog, rain, sunset, and even a rainbow! She was prepared for it all and made it such a fun adventure. We were really nervous and she helped us chill and get a bit more comfy in front of the camera. She delivered our sneak peaks the next day which were so fun to look through and was extremely prompt with getting us the rest of our gallery. Naturally, we hired Ann Marie for our wedding too and cannot imagine having anyone else! She was so helpful through the stressful wedding planning process, sending us vendor recommendations and always being available if we had questions or needed advice. She has an amazing network and her want to help with things not even photography related was so impressive and very appreciated. There was a major health scare in my family, we weren’t even sure if my dad was going to make it to wedding day and Ann Marie was so kind and supportive. She captured moments for my family that carried a lot of weight and she did it with such grace and thoughtfulness. We are all so grateful for her commitment to making wedding day as special as possible, for my husband and I but also our loved ones. We’ve gotten an amazing selection of sneak peaks and should be getting our full gallery soon - we couldn’t be more excited! Ann Marie is impressively prompt and has communicated with us each step of the way so we were never left to wonder “what’s next?” All of our friends and family are also very impressed with Ann Marie as a photographer and as a person. Hoping to stay in touch and work together again in the future!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Helen, a truly exceptional photographer who has beautifully captured every milestone in our lives — from our wedding day to maternity, newborn, and family sessions. From the very beginning, Helen impressed us with her warm personality, professionalism, and an eye for detail that goes far beyond just taking pictures. She doesn’t just shoot photos — she captures moments, emotions, and memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Our wedding photos were beyond stunning — elegant, emotional, and full of joy. She was discreet yet always present, catching the little in-between moments that made the day uniquely ours. We received so many compliments on how natural and heartfelt the photos felt, and it’s all thanks to Helen’s talent and intuition. During our maternity shoot, Helen made us feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease, even in our most vulnerable moments. She found the perfect balance between artistry and authenticity — highlighting the beauty of the experience in such an effortless way. The newborn session was where Helen’s patience and gentle nature really shone. She was incredible with our baby — soothing, calming, and respectful of the pace we needed. The results were absolutely magical, filled with tenderness and love. Most recently, our family session felt like a relaxed afternoon with an old friend — and somehow, amidst the chaos of kids being kids, Helen delivered images full of life, laughter, and connection. Every photo tells a story. What we value most about Helen is her ability to see people — to truly understand what matters to each family or couple, and to bring that to life through her lens. Her style is timeless, her editing is impeccable, and her passion for what she does comes through in every frame. We can’t recommend Helen highly enough. She’s not just our photographer — she’s now part of our family’s story, and we’re so grateful for everything she’s given us.

Lindsay Blair is a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon, known for her clean, natural style and focus on authentic moments. With a background in visual storytelling, Lindsay approaches each wedding with a calm, detail-oriented mindset, helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera while capturing meaningful, candid images.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lindsay for our June 2025 wedding, and I truly can’t imagine our day without her. I first discovered her through a tagged post by Oregon Wedding Day and I immediately fell in love with her work. She was actually the first vendor I booked once we had our venue picked out. Her style captivated me right away, but it wasn’t until we began working together that I realized how truly special she is — Lindsay’s gift isn’t just in how she photographs a moment, but in how she makes you feel during it. From the beginning, Lindsay took such delicate care of every detail. From our engagement photoshoot, to thoughtfully building our wedding day timeline, to seamlessly coordinating with our videographer and planner. Her calm, confident presence was the greatest gift I could have asked for on my wedding day. With so many things happening around me, Lindsay became a kind of security blanket — gently grounding me in the moment so I could be fully present. For the first time in a year and a half of planning, I was able to just relax and enjoy my wedding — and that was entirely because of her. Without a doubt, Lindsay’s talent, experience, and intentional care are what make her the best wedding photographer in the Portland and surrounding area. I was in love with her work from the start but nothing prepared me for how beautifully she would capture the most important day of our lives. Wedding photographs are like a time capsule and I will forever be grateful that we had someone go so far out of their way to make sure every detail of ours was perfect.
