We are a couple of small town gals who adore telling your love story through our lenses. We live in a pretty rural part of Eastern Oregon where it makes traveling fun, we love to go all over and capture the beauty! What started out as a dream and has finally became our reality and we are just truly thankful to be doing what we love.

These girls seriously made my whole day! They took all of my ideas and made sure we got them all! My husband wasn't as cooperative as i would have liked and they where champs about it, they helped make him comfortable and where extremely respectful. They also stayed and got some awesome photos of the whole entire wedding crew. This day was very special to us and they made sure that it was documented. We have done family photos and fun pop up photos as well since and they are just as fun and amazing quality as the wedding! So glad to have an awesome local photographer. Thank you Yellow Sage.

The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

I hired Vic to photograph my bridal shower based on some recommendations on FaceBook! I took one look at her portfolio and knew that she was talented. She made the booking process super easy and was reachable via Email and Text. She formalized the agreement via contract which was very professional and helped me guarantee that she would be committed to my event. On the day of the event, she went above and beyond. She helped calm me as we were running a bit late but she kept things moving the whole event. She captured photos of me, my guests, and got detailed shots of all our decorations. Our guests loved that she offered pointers on how to pose and stand. Not to mention she took several photos of every shot - I’ve worked with photographers in the past who will only take 1 shot, but not Vic! After the event, she gave me all the unedited photos within 48 hours which was a HUGE win! She captured around 700 photos of my 2 hour event - I was stunned in the best way. Overall, working with her was a dream and I cannot wait to hire her for my next event.

Hiring Calea as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

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.

Imagine Elopements Photography

  • Serves Athena, OR

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

I don't know where to begin. So I suppose at the beginning! Mia was so professional, took incredible and creative shots, had unparalleled attention to detail, and was just so dang friendly and awesome to work with! That being said, Mia was WAY more than 'just' a photographer. I'm from Oregon, but we live in NYC, so our wedding was a destination wedding for most. Mia had not only been to Crater Lake countless times, but she scouted out specific areas for me, sent me loom videos, and even woke herself up at the crack of dawn to scout out where a sunrise photoshoot would be best. Seriously - above and beyond! Oh, then she created this beautiful pdf of everything you need to know/prepare before the event. I mean, the details and even the aesthetic of the doc was fantastic. Another example - I had SO many issues in finding a hairdresser and I had vented to Mia about it. In no way did I think she'd respond the way she did. Her response was "oh no, that's not right. Let's start over." She then quickly got me several hair referrals and I did go with one of them (who was also excellent). Now - the micro ceremony, photoshoot, and then the reception the following day (i know, we were a lot!) ... I mean - she was AWESOME. She was the patient ringleader we all needed in corralling all of our family members in the right direction and orchestrating where we should go / what we should do and when the day of (again, MORE than 'just' a photographer). It was all crazy, fun, and chaotic, but then it came down to our First Look. She told me to ignore her, and just be in the moment and that this was a very special private time with just me and him - and to really enjoy it (I'm butchering this)- that's when I lost it and my waterworks started. It was what a caring friend would say - it was so kind, soft, genuine, and exactly what I needed to hear at the exact time I needed to hear it. Needless to say, all of the shots we had for the micro ceremony, sunset photoshoot (we nixed sunrise bc we wanted to sleep in the day after haha), family portraits, and dinner were done flawlessly... and not just flawlessly, but Mia just brought the best positive energy and made it so memorable! She brought tons of lenses, and even props and bug-spray for us (I definitely didn't think that). None of the poses were or felt cheesy - and I know that's not always the case. Because you're having fun, it becomes natural and organic. Now post wedding, etc, she gave us access to the website with all of our photos. First, it was organized in a very logical way (thank god!!) with Previews, First Look, Ceremony, etc etc. All in sequential order. We had another reception over here on the East Coast and I can confidently say that not everyone organizes their photos this way - or is anything like Mia. It made it very easy to show them to everyone, and create albums, and Christmas gifts. These are photos of a lifetime that we will always be able to look back on and remember as the best day of our lives. She was able to capture it all perfectly. Truly. These are just a few examples (yes, there are more), but as you can see, Mia was WAY more than 'just' a photographer. She really made it all happen and it would not have gone off without a hitch without her. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! You really won't find anyone like Mia. She blows any bar out of the water.

Luxurious Memories was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, their communication style was charming, direct and informative - putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, they kept me relaxed and helped guide us through natural, beautiful poses that resulted in exceptional photos we will cherish forever. The quality of their work is simply stunning, and their services were truly worthwhile for capturing the special moments of our big day.

We loved working with Carly! She always answered questions promptly and was easygoing to work with. The day of the wedding, we were running a bit late, but Carly was super accommodating and went with the flow of things. Her photos are exquisite and beautiful. She captured the day wonderfully and even the expressions of the guests. The quality of her photos was absolutely worth the investment. I totally recommend Carly! You will not be disappointed.

Hello! My name is Dana (pronounced 'Donna') and I was born and raised in Mexico, and now I currently reside in Vancouver, WA with my husband and three fur babies. I love to travel and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and beyond! I am so grateful to be able to photograph couples and families displaying so much fun and love. I primarily shoot couples, maternity & destination weddings, and elopements. When I'm not working behind the camera, you can find me hiking, doing pottery, painting, practicing yoga, playing music, or finding new places to eat.

Dana went above and beyond with our engagement shoot. She took care of us in every way imaginable, and made the shoot comfy, fun and playful, which was exactly the vibe I was hoping to capture with my fiancé. She made sure that we got the poses I had showed her on my inspo board, but also suggested some that were absolutely perfect for the setting. The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined. I am historically a bit uncomfy in front of the camera and often don't enjoy pics of myself, but I can't stop looking at the stunning photos in our gallery, as they look like something out of fairytale. I know we'll be enjoying them for many years to come, and I can't wait to show them to our kids and our grandkids. Thanks from the bottoms of our hearts, Dana. 3

Hi, I’m Lalin—the photographer behind Lalin Camera. I’m passionate about capturing love in its most honest form: the nervous laughter, soft glances, and in-between moments that often go unnoticed. My approach is natural and heartfelt, focusing on real emotion and timeless storytelling.

Awarded Best of Zola
The only time I ever write reviews for someone is when they are really just the BEST. I could say so many things about Lalin. She did my wedding photoshoot, and family photoshoot after I had my first baby. We plan on getting pregnant again and you best believe Lalin will be our photographer for the announcement pics, newborn pics and EVERY photoshoot we need. Here are some excellent perks about Lalin: 1. Lalin has a HUGE heart and wants the best for everyone. Because of this, she will memorize your inspo pics like the back of her hand, and make them look even better than the inspo pics you showed her. 2. She knows all the best angles, ladies. She makes you feel good and confident in your skin. When I’ve done shoots in the last, I always got my picture back and felt super self conscious. She made me look beautiful and knew the best angles for myself. 3. Her quality/lighting of pictures are the best!! She brings your special day to life, and brings joy to each picture 4. Everybody raves about her. All my bridesmaids loved Lalin and were OBSSESSED with the pics when they came back 5. I cried both times I got my wedding pic and family photoshoot pics back. They are always better than I ever could have imagined. Whoever gets the opportunity to have Lalin do their photo shoot is truly blessed. She is such a sweetheart and truly does an amazing job.

Hi, I’m Dawa. With a background in fine arts and over 200 celebrations captured, I view your wedding day as a living story. My approach blends journalistic honesty with a refined editorial touch, creating a relaxed experience that lets you stay present. I’m a big believer in being flexible and keeping the energy light because when you’re having fun and feeling at ease, that’s when the most effortless, timeless moments happen. While I focus on capturing moments as they naturally unfold, I’ll also gently guide you with poses and direction when needed, so you never feel awkward or unsure in front of the camera.

We had such a great time working with KND. They are the best in the business. They made us feel very comfortable and the whole shoot was easy. We would definitely work with them in future for any photography projects.
