Venture Ever After 

4.9

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Ilwaco, WA
  • Offer

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 am so glad you found your way here! My name is Steph (it's lovely to meet you!). I was born and raised overseas in Sri Lanka and moved to the beautiful PNW for college and decided to stay. The world and the people in it are too beautiful not to be art - so here we are creating art out of the beautiful moments you and your lives bring into being. Besides taking photos, I am a big fan of milk tea, hedgehogs, my kid and husband, sleeping in, summer, curry, and friends to share it with. I would love to hear more about you and your story and how I can help document some of your beautiful moments!

Steph is a treat to be around period, and even more so in a work setting! We’ve worked together on a handful of weddings now and you really couldn’t imagine a better second shooter if you tried. Communicative, warm, supportive, hard working… are just some of the many things that make her an an incredible wedding photographer! She puts everyone at ease while also making whoever is in front of her lens feel like the most fabulous person in the room. She’s wonderfully reliable and I would trust her with my life honestly! Can’t rave about her enough. This industry suites her beautifully!

Annaliesa (and mark) went above and beyond. They helped us set up and break down. Anna was determined to get things done to the point we had to actually make her stop and eat. She cleared out chair to make a dance floor. She even helped with our kids while we were running around and getting ready. Mark even made me a plate of food and made me sit down to eat in the middle of all the chaos. Which I really appreciated. They were on top of everything! And she got all of our pics back to us in less than 24 hours!! We love all our pics and are so thankful we have these memories captured.

Lemonade Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Ilwaco, WA

I never meant to be a wedding photographer - but somehow, here I am. I started my career as a newspaper reporter, and left that to be a writer and photographer for a public university. Almost 10 years into my second career, I was laid off - so I turned some pretty sour lemons into Lemonade Photography. I'm a lifelong Northwesterner, a mom to two boys, a nature lover, a proud geek and quite possibly the biggest Harry Potter fan you'll ever meet (don't challenge me to a Potter trivia contest; you WILL lose). I love to laugh, and I love to make my clients laugh along with me.

Highly recommend working with Lemonade Photography! Our wedding was 5 years ago and we still have fond memories of working with Jill. She was great at capturing the feel we wanted, is super friendly, and easy to work with. Her communication is excellent, and you will feel very taken care of.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with JL Thomas Photography! From our first meeting to the final delivery of our photos, they were nothing short of exceptional. Their professionalism, creativity, and passion for photography truly shine through in every shot. On the big day, Jennifer was a calming presence, she captured every moment without being intrusive.

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WILL FIND! We’ve used Carly for many family sessions, our engagement session (in Red Rock, NV), and of course our wedding, and I plan to stay in contact and use her for family sessions in the future! We got married during COVID and she was so helpful with being accommodating to our small ceremony, and booking us for our reception next year. Not to mention, she helped us find an officiant, and has been able to answer every question I had about weddings in general. Her knowledge in the industry goes far beyond photography/videography. Carly radiates joy and love to every single couple that she is with. My husband is not a fan of pictures, but he leaves sessions with the Drzazgas in a great mood, Carly is so good at making us laugh! All of our photos turn out GORGEOUS!!! Pictures are something I truly cherish and she always does the most perfect job at capturing all of our special moments that we will be able to look at forever. She is incredibly talented at what she does, but she is also an incredible person who would be the perfect choice for your special day. Not only do I feel like we had the best photographer and photos, but I also feel like Carly became a friend throughout our process and knows our story so well. I could not recommend her more.

We are so very pleased – thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

Not only were we drawn to his work, but we loved his fun personality, his professionalism, and his kindness of wanting to know us! Jonathan asked about our story, got to know us as individuals and as a couple, and made sure to tell our story through our photos. He even went overtime to help us with our timeline! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the lens and calmed us when we felt we were not on schedule on the day of the wedding. We love our engagement photos and wedding photos.

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma was was absolutely awesome to work with! She made my now husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and loved how natural the photos look!

I'm a wedding photographer who cares just as much about how it felt as how it looked. I’m drawn to real connection, quiet in-between moments, and all the chaos and joy in between. I bring a calm, grounded energy that helps people relax, whether I’m goofing off with your wedding party or hanging back to document the magic as it unfolds. My style is part documentary, part editorial, and all heart.

Lindsey is amazing! We worked with her for our engagement photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier. She listened to all our wish list items for location and came up with several ideas. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoot since we had never gotten professional photos before. Plus - our location was pretty far away from Seattle and we had a blast getting to know each other in the car ride to and from the location. Highly recommended!

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.

Angela was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! Her communication was prompt, easy, and professional throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was stunning - the photos are light, clean, and captured all the special moments of our day perfectly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Morgan is an exceptional photographer with so much talent and care for her craft. From day one, she was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and organized. Working with her was so easy and straightforward. She told us exactly what she needed from us, and she was always prompt with her communication. We loved working with Morgan for so many reasons, but her thoughtfulness, sincerity, and flexibility are particular memorable. Especially with all the chaos that comes with the wedding, it was refreshing to have Morgan be in charge of our photos, because she kept a cool demeanor and was easy going, but prescriptive. Beyond her professionalism and personality, my family, friends, and I are absolutely stunned by how beautiful our photos came out. The photos were creative while maintaining timeless elegance. Morgan's expertise with outdoor photography was perfect for our venue because we had a lot of natural sunlight come through our space since we had a lot of windows. I truly cannot express how thankful I am that Morgan was our photographer. I wish we could have another vent just to have her do more photography for us! Her turn around time was extremely reasonable as well!
