Venture Ever After

We loved our session with Nadia! She is a professional at what she does and made us both feel so comfortable. I was a little nervous going in but her warm personality, enthusiasm for her work and confidence made me feel at ease. She gave us pointers to better position ourselves at times, as well as some prompts on what we could do and all of our photos turned out great. I can’t recommend her enough.

Nadia exceeded my expectations. Her professionalism and talent went above and beyond and we couldn’t have asked for more. Our plans had changed a few times as a result of the pandemic, but Nadia was always there from start to finish to clearly and promptly communicate that she had everything handled on her end. Nadia was also super accommodating including traveling outside of the city. We appreciated her photographic knowledge too, helping us perfectly capture the day. I would definitely recommend Nadia to those interested.

Nadia was just perfect. Her professionalism, her equipment, her raw talent, her kindness, and above all, how comfortable and fun she made everything. We had a very small wedding, and her skills for capturing the intimate candid moments without a doubt made the day way more special. We were not sure we even wanted a photographer, but our friends told us it was their biggest regret, so we decided to get the best. She captured the special moments perfectly and with subtlety . I cannot recommend Nadia enough, and you will thank yourself (and Nadia) after the wedding. 🙂

Nadia was abosultely amazing to work with. The photos she took of our impromptu wedding day during an epic rain storm on the Oregon Coast were breathtaking!! She was nothing but professional, kind, funny, talented and thoughtful! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. You will NOT be disappointed:)! Thanks Nadia!

Nadia did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We chose Nadia based on the absolutely gorgeous photos that she took for our friend’s elopement. Nadia did an absolutely phenomenal job! Our photos turned out perfect and she really went above and beyond. Nadia thinks of everything and is there, helping you our through every step of the way. Neither of us are “center of attention” type people, and we really struggling to even consider how we wanted the wedding day to go, but Nadia’s questions and support helped guide us to create the perfect ceremony and photos. She is also incredibly helpful and supportive, and sent us lots of delicious goodies and nice cards along the way. Thanks, Nadia!

Nadia was incredible. From our very first phone call with her, she was personable, professional, and incredibly attentive. She is organized and really makes you feel taken care of. Out of all of our vendors, Nadia made us feel the most at ease, we knew she was thinking ahead about all the little details that sneak up on you as you approach the big day. She asked all the right questions, gave us the best advice, and was so genuinely excited about our wedding and getting great pictures. She even had all kinds of prompts for our photos that created really cute and candid shots, which was perfect for me as a camera shy person!

If you want a photographer who really cares, is a great communicator and takes amazing pictures, Nadia is the one for you! I cannot recommend her enough!

Working with Nadia was an absolute dream. She is such a kind and gentle presence while still managing to command a room and get people to not only follow instructions for the best photos, but to enjoy the experience and have fun with it. There was not a single moment our special day that was not documented, and her editing style in incomparable is quality. We received email updates, gifts and so much support that made us confident we were in good hands from day one. Her website and email notifications are beautiful and easy to navigate, and most of all, Nadia has a real skill when it comes to communicating and collaborating with other vendors. If you are looking for a high-quality photographer worth every penny to ensure your day lives on forever in your photos, you do not have to look any further.

Nadia is AMAZING! She captured the essence of our wedding and made the awkward moments fun and enjoyable. Nadia is incredibly responsive and professional. If you are lucky enough that she is available for your special day, take advantage of it and book her.

Nadia was a joy to work with and she captured every single moment so beautifully! We couldn’t have asked for more. She was incredibly responsive to all of our needs and questions and did a remarkable job day-of. She was a pleasure to be around, but also moved about discretely so that some of our guests had to be reminded we had a photographer there (even though she darted in and out of the dance floor to capture amazing photos of the fun!!). She really got it all- we feel so lucky we found Nadia to photograph our wedding!

My fiancé and I live in separate states and are getting married later in life so we were very out of touch when it came to selecting and finding a photographer to capture our engagement time. Nadia came highly recommended by fellow photographers in the PNW area. I contacted her and she replied promptly. It  was so refreshing that we were able to chat with Nadia over the phone to talk about our options for the engagement photo session. Nadia sent us a questionnaire to get to know us and understand our vision, passions, and our story as a couple. She gave us options and kept in contact leading up to our session with her. Nadia  sent us a “care package” to help us prepare for our session (so Sweet). Nadia ensured the location for our photo session was doable ahead of time and sent us a list of alternate locations. My fiance is not a photo type person but our session with her was so fun. It felt like we were all hanging out with an old friend. We felt totally at ease during our session. Nadia helped us realize our vision for our engagement photos and the results were amazing. Our photos were amazing thanks to Nadia. Even after our session we received such a thoughtful gift from her. I can’t thank her enough for our experience and her expertise. She just transitioned and added more services to her business… i can’t recommend anyone better to capture your special moments than Nadia!!!

Nadia was the first and absolute best vendor we booked for our wedding. From our first inquiry phone call we felt so good about working with her and knew she had our backs. Wedding planning is so incredibly stressful but we never once stressed about our photos thanks to her attention to detail, thorough planning and constant communication. Not only is Nadia a great planner and communicator, but she is so incredibly talented behind the lens! We absolutely loved how our photos turned out. They really captured our authentic selves and genuine moments throughout the day. People we didn’t even know have looked at the photos and said they’d “never seen such genuine joy construed through wedding photos.” Every moment was captured beautifully and we’ll be obsessing over these photos and the smooth sailing day for the rest of our lives.

We loved working with Nadia at Venture Ever After! Not only did we bond fast over shared interest and venturing around Snoqualmie in the snow for our engagement shoot, she was super intentional with finding out what was most important and significant to us on our wedding day, and how we wanted it captured. One of our big things was we wanted to feel like we got to be at our wedding, playing, and adventuring around. We also tend to love candid shots over anything else, and Nadia DELIVERED. We had so much fun with friends and family, and Nadia herself! Venture Ever After is the best of the best!

Going into a small and intimate wedding, we knew our photographer was going to be one of the most important choices we made, and choosing Nadia ended up being the BEST decision we made. She made the entire process effortless and fun, and she was there for us every step of the way. As an LGBTQ+ couple, her clear display of support for all love made her stand out to us immediately, and the way she treated us from the day we first emailed her until now makes it clear that she is the #1 ally we have ever met.

This was a destination wedding for us, so Nadia’s experience and expertise in photographing couples in the PNW was even more valuable to us. We would be in the midst of planning and would think, “Huh I wonder about *insert any wedding question or issue here*” and we would wake up the next morning to an email from Nadia covering all of the topics we had discussed privately and hadn’t even asked her yet. She is just that on top of things and is always one step ahead of her clients throughout the entire process. She is THAT GOOD. All jokes aside, any time we did have questions or need advice, she would get back to us quickly with such thorough and thoughtful answers that really proved we were more than just clients to her. She cares like a friend and her attention to detail is astonishing.

From an amazing engagement photo shoot that took up her entire Sunday, which yielded the most stunning photos that brought tears to our eyes, to the most memorable wedding day spent with her prioritizing our wishes as a couple, we could not recommend Nadia enough. She made us both feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera and did an amazing job highlighting our love.

For anybody who is looking into hiring Nadia to capture your special day, this is your sign to DO IT!! You will not find anybody better. She goes above and beyond in every way and truly made our experience the most memorable. We are not from the PNW, but Nadia was so amazing that we now joke we will fly her to us any time we need photos taken in the future.

Where does one begin, when you reflect back on the happiest, most important day of your life and the key ingredient that captures every single moment, your photographer! Your photographer not only needs to be skilled, they need to be the right fit for YOU, and what your heart desires for your day. I challenge you to feel anything but blown away after your first conversation with Nadia and her process.
Nadia, from the bottom of our hearts to yours, Rob and I are so forever grateful for you. Your professionalism, your genuine kindness, your passion, your calmness, your love, and most importantly your tremendous gift is beyond incredible. We could not imagine our special day without you. You took our small intimate fairytale wedding, and captured every single detail. We planned our wedding from a different state and had never met you, and our first zoom with you it was an immediate connection and bond. Like stepping into a conversation with a lifelong friend. Rob and I both looked at each other after that first chat and said “is it possible that this was meant to be, that we know we need to pick Nadia after just speaking with her? We’d be foolish if we didn’t select her.” Not only did we gain professional photos that are exactly what I had dreamed of for wedding photos, you captured those moments that were most important to us, that were years in the planning and dreaming. You text us at all different times of the day even on your days off if we had questions, or if I had updates to share with you, we always knew you had it all under control. You made us feel that this was not just a job for you, but that you were counting down the days of excitement with us. Thank you, Nadia.
Thank you for who you are, don’t ever stop being who you are, for you are a gift to those lives and hearts you touch. Ours included. You have our gratitude and support, and you have our friendship, always.
Every time I look at our wedding photos I feel like I’m taking a step back into that perfect day, and reliving each moment, and time has just stood still. We love you Nadia! Thank you!
