My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer/videographer! From the moment we booked, they were professional, kind, and truly invested in capturing our story. On our wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable and managed to capture every moment beautifully—both the big emotions and the quiet in-between ones. We even had some issues with the venue trying to rush us to keep on schedule and our photographer stood up for us stating that it is my day and they are going to ensure I get all the photos I wanted! Overall, everything was absolutely stunning and brought us right back to the joy of the day. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend them to anyone looking for timeless, heartfelt images.

Hi, I’m Nikki — the photographer behind Nikki Hardgrave Photography 🤍 I’m an Oregon-based photographer with a candid, warm approach to documenting wedding days. My goal isn’t just to take beautiful photos — it’s to help you feel supported, comfortable, & genuinely present throughout your day. Weddings can be chaotic. Timelines fall behind, emotions run high, dresses break, veils fall out, and somehow there’s always a bustle held together by safety pins 😂

Nikki did our engagement photos and is booked for our wedding photos. We are extremely happy with the photos and editing she did. They look incredible.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be happier with our wedding photos and experience working with the Wickerts. From the start, they were incredibly inviting, fun, and easy to work with, which made everything feel relaxed and enjoyable. We took engagement photos in the Spring and Wed in September. Both my bride and I can feel awkward in front of a camera, but Lindsey and Hunter did great making us feel comfortable and natural. Nothing felt forced, and that really shows in the photos.They have a great eye for choosing beautiful backdrops and moments without overdoing anything. Having two shooters was a huge plus! They captured both of us getting ready before the ceremony, and during our engagement shoot, it was great having an extra set of hands to help with lighting and setup. We received our digital images surprisingly fast and shared them easily with friends and family. We’re so grateful for our photos and really cool collection pieces we'll cherish for life. We highly recommend the Wickerts' to anyone looking for talented photographers and genuinely fun people to be around.

Venture Ever After 
Rating: 5.0 (20 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Milwaukie, 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.

Just here to show off Myrtle Creative Co. Photography with Ann Marie! We recently got our sneak peaks back from our wedding July 2024. We had a multi-day event in and near North Cascades. (both elopement and wedding, so we have best of both of what Ann offers) We were looking for a down to earth photographer (to make us comfy) and one who traveled, but ended up with that and more! We had met up virtually with many other photographers before picking her! She was very helpful throughout the planning process, helped with advice on my indecisiveness and helped think of things no one else did day of and during the planning.

My approach is relaxed, low-pressure, and focused on helping you actually enjoy your wedding day instead of feeling like you’re stuck in a photoshoot. I’m there for the happy tears, crooked boutonnières, champagne spills, big hugs, terrible dance moves, and all the little moments that end up meaning the most. Most of my couples don’t want their wedding to feel overly staged or like one long photo shoot. They just want beautiful photos, a fun day with their favorite people, and someone who makes them feel comfortable being themselves - and that’s exactly how I work.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish Katie was amazing! When my wife and I started wedding planning we specifically looked for LGBTQ friendly vendors and Katie stood out. Her photography and editing is gorgeous and we knew we had to choose her! We took our engagement photos only a month before our wedding and Katie made sure we got our photos in time to be able to use them at our wedding. From planning to the actual day Katie made everything smooth, fun and easy. Our photos turned out amazing and we got sneak peaks less than a week after our wedding. I cannot thank her enough for capturing our special day so perfectly!! Highly recommend

Hi friend!! I'm Karmen. I believe love deserves to be documented with intention, honesty, and care. The kind that feels cinematic but real. Elevated but effortless. I believe your wedding day should feel like you, not a production performed for the camera. The most meaningful images live in the in between. Quiet nerves before the ceremony, hands finding each other without thinking, laughter that spills out when the timeline pauses. Your photos are never about perfection. They are about presence. Thoughtfully guided when needed, and quietly observed when the moment belongs to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation with Karmen, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her communication style was open, easy, and friendly, putting us at ease right away. The quality of her work is amazing - she has an incredibly thoughtful and intentional approach that shines through in every photo. Even when she was feeling under the weather, she still made it to our engagement session and was so fun and helpful throughout the process. We have only taken our engagement photos with Karmen so far, but we are so excited for her to capture our wedding day as well. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

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).

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!
