Choosing a photographer to capture one of the most intimate days of you and your partner’s lives is no small feat. I'm here to loudly love on ALL my couples. These are images you’ll hold onto forever and pass down for generations to come, so trust is essential. With two decades of travel experience, I’m not only comfortable navigating the intricacies of international travel but also thrive on the excitement of exploring new destinations. Whether you choose to elope with only the mountains as your witness, or have the big white wedding of your dreams, I can’t wait to celebrate your love.

Julia was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first spoke with Julia, her communication style was clear, fun, and energetic - she made the entire process so exciting. The quality of her work is truly beautiful, detail-oriented, creative, timeless, and colorful. Julia went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, even flying to Denver to help plan and shoot the proposal for my fiancée and I. She communicated clearly, made every moment so special, and helped us find the perfect proposal spot. We've used her incredible photos for our invitations, wedding website, and have them framed at home. Julia is an incredible photographer who we cannot recommend highly enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

Hi! We’re Jack and Kaitlyn, a married creative team specializing in wedding photo and video. We blend our skillsets to give couples timeless imagery, smooth communication, and an stress-free experience from booking to gallery delivery.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Kaitlyn & Jack on their TikTok and knew they were the ones that we wanted for our wedding day. They were easy to book, quick to communicate and answer any questions we had, and beyond helpful on our wedding day. We attempted to have everything together for them, but with them being the only professionals at our backyard wedding, there was a lot we missed. This didn’t stop them from capturing every moment and going above and beyond helping us correctly fill out the marriage certificate and directing us to get family pictures that we had totally forgotten to include in our itinerary with everything else going on. They are kind and talented! We downloaded the pictures from Kaitlyn’s gallery and now have 35 (!!) of them hanging on walls in our home. Jack’s video allowed us to have our private vows and still share bits of them with our family. If you are looking for a pair who will fit right in and make the stress of capturing your day easier, we highly suggest JK Media.

I'm an Oregon based freelance photographer, specializing in photojournalistic styled and candid portraits. I’ve acquired my knowledge through personal experience, educational courses, and working under a wedding photographer as an editor. When I’m not running around with camera gear- I am working in my garden, crabbing on the coast, or traveling near and far in search of new adventures. Whatever I do, I want to live fully and creatively. I am dedicated to creating a comfortable experience, capturing raw emotions, and working closely with my couples to make sure their vision is cherished for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was on the hunt for a LGBTQ friendly photographer for my engagement photos and wedding, and I was so fortunate to find Sara and her partner, Trinity. Sara and Trinity are beyond incredible both as humans and photographers. When you book these two, you are not only getting incredible, professional photos, you are also getting a duo that will make you feel so comfortable (Sara had to help me put my dress on!). Sara and Trinity will make you laugh, capture your beautiful moments, and they will feel like your best friends. Sara was great about directing us for photos that were more posed, and on the flip side, caught the most beautiful candid/editorial style photos effortlessly. These two are some of the kindest people I have ever met and will capture moments you will hold onto forever. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Hi! I'm Rachel! I'm an Oregon based photographer who combines my love of nature and capturing your love. My photographs are meant to evoke emotion and carry memories across decades to come. RM Snapshots is photography for the adventurous soul.

Rachel did our engagement photos and was the photographer at our wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. My partner and I are very quiet/introverted and NEVER take any photos together. We are very outdoorsy and do not like to get all dressed up. Rachel did a fantastic job of making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She suggested different ideas to get us into our comfort zone, like bringing a picnic and doing one of our favorite activities, paddleboarding. At the wedding, Rachel did not try to pressure us into taking photos that were trendy or over posed. The entire process, Rachel clearly communicated deadlines and even helped us through the planning of the wedding. She returns sneak peeks really quickly, and when she left our wedding, she left us a book of polaroids. She is the BEST!

Hi, I'm Niki. Thanks for being here! I am a 29-year-old collector of hobbies, tattoos, and cats. I photograph weddings, elopements, and boudoir in the PNW and beyond. A 2023 bride said this: "Niki was the absolute best choice as our elopement photographer! She asked all of the right questions and helped capture the most important day for us with perfect photos and an unmatched way of keeping the day fun and stress free. Niki is truly one of a kind, her photography skills are hands down amazing and after the experience of working with her we consider her a friend too! "

We can't say enough good things about Niki! Working with her was a phenomenal experience. Her communication is great, and her flexibility and willingness to meet us wherever was so appreciated. At our engagement shoot she immediately put us at ease and we felt so taken care of, and the results were fabulous. At our wedding she was able to take charge when we needed her to and blend into the background when we were living in the moment. She is so talented and so easy to work with, we cannot recommend Niki highly enough!

My name is Edith after my great grandmother. My biggest loves in my life are Jesus Christ and being a mama to two very wild boys who keep me on my toes.   I absolutely love the bold, rich colors that are the most visual part of my style. We will work together to create a wonderful timeline and friendship so that on your big day, the only thing you should be focused on is looking into the eyes of your love. Wedding photography is so precious to couples because when all has faded away, in one hand you’ll hold your love, in the other you’ll hold a photograph and in your heart you’ll hold the memories that come from both. Blessings to you!

Edith was AMAZING! She took absolutely stunning pictures but also was the sweetest person. All of our guests at our wedding adored her and were so impressed by her pictures. She was so organized and help to organize the timing of certain things like when we should do the sparkler exit or when we should do the best sunset pics. She also did stunning engagement pictures. She helped guide us through the poses but made us feel so comfortable. I absolutely loved her and her work. She is so talented and I am so happy that she was apart of our special day capturing the best pictures and making everyone feel so comfortable. She also helped tie a bow tie which was a definite bonus!

Working with Sound Originals for photography and videography was a great experience! We had two photographers and a videographer, Kevin was the lead photographer, Jennifer was the secondary photographer, and Ben was the videographer. They showed up on time and got right into detail shots, and then were very efficient and knowledgeable for first looks, bridal party, and family photos. Throughout the night I hardly noticed they were there and they got many super fun photos of the reception! We got almost 1600 pictures back and anxiously await our highlight video! We chose to get our photos in all three editing styles, but timeless was ultimately our favorite! Very happy with our experience and with the final product we got back! -Cassidy and Michael

It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

From the first email inquiring about her services, I knew Calea was going to be wonderful to work with! She had a very quick response time and worked with me to figure out the best package for our special day. Leading up to the wedding, Calea was readily available to answer any questions I had and even helped me with a timeline for the day. On the day of our wedding, Calea drove to a neighboring county from our venue for us to be able to get some first look and family photos done before the ceremony. I was worried about what types of poses we'd do but this worry quickly went away as Calea makes you feel completely comfortable and fully guided us through all the photos, making it an enjoyable experience rather than a stressful or uncomfortable one. She captured every single detail beautifully. Venue, decor, detail shots, vendors, cake & dessert, various views during the ceremony, guests, dancing, special moments, etc. She stayed beyond the agreed upon contract time just for us to be able to get the perfect sunset shots in the vineyard. This really showed her dedication to her work and to her clients. I love the sneak peek photos she sends and the turn around time for all the entire album was very quick and they sure did NOT disappoint. I was overwhelmed with how beautiful all the photos came out. She is truly talented and it shows in her work. My husband and I are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Calea and love looking back on our special day that she captured so perfectly! Thank you Calea!!

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

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.

Definitely one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. We had Ann Marie do our engagement photos and we loved her from the start and loved how they came out. We were devastated when we found out she was already booked for our wedding date, but she got us set up with one of her associates Elena at a discounted rate. Even though she wasn't going to be there on our big day she still put in so much effort to help us decide the timeline and the shot list. She kept in contact with us the whole time and really made us feel confident about the big day. She will still be doing the editing in her style and we are absolutely thrilled with the sneak peek shots we've gotten so far! She even threw in an extra photographer for us for free which was incredibly kind of her, although unfortunately that photographer was sick on the day of the wedding so we still ended up with just one. But Elena was great and made us feel totally at ease and got every shot on the list. She kept everything running on time despite the timeline having been created for two photographers. Ann Marie and Elena were a dream team to work with and I can't say enough good things about them.

Maria is INCREDIBLE, and we are so glad we chose her for our wedding photos. 1. She is super professional and prompt, but is also just a really cool person who did SO MUCH to calm our nerves leading up to the wedding. 2. Her photos are gorgeous. She has such good attention to detail, lighting, editing, and you can really really tell in the finished product. 3. She just takes photos of you whenever she is around, and got tons of great candids. 4. We had gorgeous sneak peeks within like 48 hours of the wedding - it was truly insane turnaround but was amazing for us to get hype and very quickly see high-quality photos of the day. 5. The system she uses to deliver your photos is great - we got a lot of compliments on it from our friends and family! 6. She goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you need - we filled out a survey a few weeks out listing our priorities, existing schedule, who needed to be in family photos, etc, and she sent back a really nice photo schedule document. It was fantastic to front-load this work and get it out of the way, and it made the day go so smoothly! 7. Overall she just really incredibly & beautifully captured the joy of the day - the personalities of my partner and I, our friends and family, the vibe of the venue and the party, and the sweetness of the sweet moments. We got tons of photos we will cherish forever and are so so thankful she was the one to capture the day!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mae and her team captured us so gracefully on our special day!!! As a queer couple, we had such a fun time getting to know Mae and her team, and felt so comfortable being captured by them. We loved having them there to memorialize us not only on camera but in polaroid and super8 as well. Mae is so skilled at capturing their client in the moment to create beautiful and unique photographs that will be cherished forever. We are still waiting on our full gallery, but are so satisfied on what we’ve received already!!!
