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!

JK Media was the perfect choice for our engagement and wedding photos! From our first interaction with them online, their communication was friendly and efficient! We shared inspiration pics, and they took some beautiful engagement pictures that captured our personality and were exactly what we were looking for. For the wedding, they were right on time, and made sure to capture all the "must-haves" on our list of desired pictures. They were friendly, professional and such a pleasure to work with.

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!

We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Wedding planning is sooooo stressful, and Lacie and her team made the photography part such a breeze!!! I told my fiance that I was nervous about choosing a photographer because our pictures would last forever, but with Lacie all of that anxiety was gone!! I love how she doesn’t have just one specific style, but she takes the kind of pictures that YOU want. She was great at helping my husband and I with poses and she was even more amazing helping us at our wedding!! If I had to do it all over again I would still pick her to shoot our wedding. She did amazing!!!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Salem, 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.

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.
