Hey there, it's Kimberly, your behind-the-lens cheerleader, reveling in all things outdoors! After three decades of sunshine, my hubby and I traded Florida beaches for the Pacific Northwest's wild charm - hello Lincoln City, Oregon! This enchanting corner of the world - with its rugged mountains and sweeping coastlines - is the ultimate stage for unforgettable elopements. Because love, in all its forms, is magical. It stretches, it soothes, it heals. From heart-tugging proposals and starry-eyed engagements to secret elopements and joyous weddings, I live to frame these moments that make hearts flutter.

Working with Kim was a complete delight. We wanted a photographer with lots of experience and ideas who would boss us around so that it was one less thing for us to worry about. Kim was fun to work with, and made it so easy by coming prepared with lots of shot ideas and direction. We're in love with our photos, and will absolutely hire her again!

Venture Ever After

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Bay City, OR

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + intimate weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people in love 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.

We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him.

Shooting with them literally feels like hanging with your best friends. They were an absolute joy from start to finish, but it was Sharayah’s attention to detail and artistic eye that impressed me above all else. It was inspiring to feel like we were all creating art together, and the photos don’t lie! Our engagement shoot went viral on Instagram, and we got hundreds of comments saying, “these are literally the best engagement photos I’ve ever seen.” I too, agree with that sentiment, but I have to give credit to Hereafter’s vision and execution because they NAILED it. As a team, they’re both extremely communicative and organized, professional yet relaxed in the way they interacted with us and our guests. No one has ever made me feel so comfortable in front of a camera. Additionally, their digital color grading is meticulously adjusted to match 35mm film with incredibly accuracy. They perfectly captured the magic of our special day. We booked them for the whole package - engagement shoot, wedding photos, and wedding video with super 8 film. Their understanding of my vision was remarkable…Hereafter managed to romanticize every single detail in a profound way. The photos are so special to us because each one feels like a standalone piece of art. They went above and beyond for us in every capacity, even going so far as to drive me to the venue on my wedding day when things ran late! We cannot recommend Hereafter Films highly enough. Book them immediately! I promise you, they are worth every single penny and more.

Hi, I’m Kyle. I’m Northwest born, Portland based, and like to think that I have pines trees sprouting from my skin and sun-soaked glacial runoff coursing through my veins. Aside from photographing weddings, I enjoy strenuous hikes with a view as much as indie flicks, comic books, carving powdery slopes, rock climbing, and Trail Blazers games. I like to share these details because I strongly believe that connecting with the couples I collaborate with is integral to the creative process of photographing a wedding. A strong connection will result in the best images possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kyle captured our celebration of marriage with professionalism, compassion and attention to detail. The time he spent in preparing for our first look photos, that were done at a location other than where our wedding took place, was amazing. He scouted the location for us, contacted the park and took time to assure that all of our photos we wanted could be done seamlessly. Kyle was flexible and made our wedding day go smoothly. We felt like he was one of our guests and not just our photographer by the way he melded into our family and friends. When we got our photos we were so excited and thrilled by how they turned out. He captured all of the important moments and documented our day beautifully. We highly recommend Kyle!

Wedding photography that's all about you. alyson levy PHOTOGRAPHY specializes in creating gorgeous images that tell your unique love story. I rely on years of experience and an artist's eye to capture crucial moments without drawing focus, creating heirloom quality photographs that sparkle with humor and emotion.

Alyson was so lovely to work with. From the beginning, she offered suggested shot lists, encouraged us to look at other wedding photos in order to get an idea of things we wanted to capture, and overall had a comprehensive organized approach to our wedding. Alyson delivered on all of her photography promises - I had spotted a photo from a past wedding she shot that I loved - it was a black and white photo of the bride and groom walking down the aisle. Alyson captured their happiness and love in the shot and I just adored the photo - I asked if she could try to capture a similar moment in our wedding and she did. I love looking back to that photo, she caught one of the happiest moments of my life. On the day of our wedding, Alyson fit in seamlessly with the day, she was there to take photos around us, without making the day about her or her shots. Because of her organization, she caught the posed photos we asked for (including being able to round up my very large family) and all of the candids I love looking back on. Our wedding was in 2010, but since, she has also shot our maternity and newborn photos, as well as being the photographer at one of my best friends weddings (who loved my wedding photos so much she hired Alyson, too). Alyson is really able to capture moments and the people going on in the day - she's a fantastic photographer.

**TO CONTACT: VISIT MY WEBSITE. I AM NOT ACTIVE ON ZOLA.** Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

As someone who hated having pictures taken, I was very nervous about being in front of the camera!!! She is able to work her magic ensuring that everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera. I cannot stress enough how amazing her work is! From the colors, lighting, her humor to make everyone comfortable, the time she invests in ensuring your vision comes to life, and her attention to detail are amazing!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love.

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!

We are blown away by our photos! Ali is so amazing to work with we got everything we wanted on our special day! She always made sure to check in with us and especially me the bride and I appreciated that because wedding days can be so crazy! The meeting we had with her really helped her figure us out as a couple and what we were comfortable with. She had great direction when we felt awkward posing but she would make us feel comfortable to let go and really take in the moment. We noticed her talents through yellow paddle photography and through them I was able to pick out who fit best as well as style in photography and we are so happy to have found her. We wanted some different styles for our wedding shoot so we asked for different lens such as the kaleidoscope effect and others and those are our favorite ones! Thank you soo much Ali you’re the best!! Book her like yesterday!
