Imagine Elopements Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Independence, OR

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

“I spent quite a few weeks researching photographers for our wedding because I knew that our photos would be something we’d treasure and look back on with pride. Mia is probably one of my top three favorite things from my wedding that I truly was excited about. Her personality is super bubbly, kind and humble. My husband and I are incredibly awkward people in front of a camera and she works with it completely and makes your pictures look amazing. Our family and friends absolutely love our pictures and the work Mia has produced. She had wonderful recommendations on places to take wedding pictures due to her experience. We LOVE our wedding album as well. The quality of it is exceptional! Mia is worth every penny. We HIGHLY recommend her!”

Venture Ever After

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Independence, 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.

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and documentary style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

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!!

Delaney did such an amazing job running the show at my wedding! We had a lot of set-up that she executed for us perfectly, and some quirky timeline/vendor things that she managed really seamlessly. We had rain, which was a little stressful, but she helped keep us calm and deal with the changes in the timeline/plan that occurred as a result. She was right there when we needed her, all night, with a smile on her face. She was the perfect balance of "going with the flow" when things came up but also getting things done in an efficient and organized way.

This review is way overdue. My wife and I got married in December, and after our honeymoon and getting back into the swing of our busy lives filled with travel and work, I’m finally getting around to writing this. Honestly, choosing KND Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding. From our first chat, both Kinjo and Dawa dai were so attentive to what we wanted in our photos and really understood our style. On the wedding day and during the reception, they made us feel so comfortable and confident. They assured us through their gestures and communication that everything was under control, letting us truly enjoy our day without any worries. Everything did go as smoothly as they promised. We had been worried we wouldn’t have any frame-worthy shots based on past experiences with other photographers. But with KND, we ended up with too many favorites to choose from! It’s the best problem we could have had. I’m forever grateful to KND for capturing our special day. Thank you!

I am a firm believer that friendship comes from learning the weird and quirky about a person, and still wanting to hang out with them after. And, since you will literally spend more time with your photographer than most anyone else on your wedding day, I want to be friends. We NEED to be friends. Like, I’ll-probably-end-up-holding-your-dress-up-while-you-pee type friends. That’s practically BFF status. I’m not only in the business of capturing your epically rad and emotional moments, I am also in the business of making lasting friendships, both of which I’m really awesome at.

D (Dionne) was our wedding and engagement photographer. We booked her based on strong recommendations from two of our other friends. We're very pleased and we feel great about supporting her. She's professional and fun but most importantly does top-notch, quality work. She's also up for whatever dramatic schemes you've cooked up for the shoot or she can even recommend some of her own given her own experiences and creativity! 5 stars

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!!

Hi, I’m Heather! (that's me on the left) I'm a wedding photographer with a deep passion for capturing the genuine moments and raw emotions that make each wedding day so special. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling through photography, and over the years, I’ve developed a style that combines artistry with authenticity. My goal is to not just take pictures, but to tell the unique love story of each couple I work with, from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate details. My husband is a wedding videographer. So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

Our wedding planner highly recommended HEARTS in FOCUS, and we're so glad we went with them as our photographers. My wife and I are very pleased with our experience - they were professional, responsive, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, they captured all the special moments seamlessly and provided us with beautiful, high-quality photos that we'll cherish forever. We couldn't be happier with the results and would absolutely recommend HEARTS in FOCUS to any couple looking for talented, reliable wedding photographers.

Mailee at Noble Beginnings was an absolute angel. We hired her as a day-of coordinator and her help pre-wedding and day-of was immensely helpful. We don’t know what we would’ve done without her! She offered support prior to the day of to make sure I had things in order. She was on top of everything from start to finish. On the day of, she helped me execute my wedding vision while keeping me calm (and fed!). As everyone always says, something is bound to go wrong on the day of the wedding, but with Mailee everything felt okay. Her support helped ease my and my family’s stress, ensuring all of my loved ones had a great time. I will recommend her to anyone I know looking for wedding planning support.

Skylar Coonan Photography

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about how happy we are with Skylar...my partner and I agreed hiring her was the best money we spent on our wedding. Photos mean so much to us, and I couldn't be happier that we trusted her for our wedding and engagement photos. She is communicative, friendly, responsive, and punctual. She has amazing instincts and did an incredible job of making us feel relaxed on both of our shoot days. She captures a perfect balance of staged and candid photos with perfect composition. Sneak peeks were provided for our photos and the full libraries were delivered on time in an easy to access format. I appreciated the surveys she sends out to get to know you better before shooting. I genuinely could keep going and going! We chose Skylar because of her offered packages and photographic style and it was absolutely one of the best choices we made throughout the entire process. She is the first recommendation I will give to friends and family; we have received so many compliments on the gorgeous pictures. I am so happy that the precious, priceless memories of our wedding day are captured in such beauty forever! Thank you!!!!!!
