Really, it's pretty simple: Hire Nadia. Beyond being a very talented photographer, she's also a good human being. I know this because I've worked with Nadia both as a wedding planner and as a wedding industry professional trying to change our industry. We first met in a class about inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in the wedding industry. We continued to cross paths with that work over the course of two years until, in May 2022, we finally got a chance to work together in-person at a wedding. This wedding wasn't easy. It was torrential downpours and fully outdoors save a few tents. And you know where Nadia was the whole time? Right out there alongside me in the pouring rain, showing up for the couple, their guests, and our fellow vendors. Throughout, she centered the couple and their joy, giving them time and space to feel all of the wonderful feels while also making sure they got what they hoped for in terms of photos. This care and professionalism is rare and it is special so again: Hire Nadia. read more

I mean this with 100% certainty: our micro-wedding wouldn't have been a fraction of the success it was without Nadia at Venture Ever After. She helped us plan the perfect timeline for our wants and needs, provided custom recommendations for private vow locations and other vendors, and guided us with grace throughout the entire process. She invested so much time and energy from start to finish and I'm so incredibly happy with the outcome. If you want to capture beautiful, intimate moments in the PNW with the highest quality and most professional service, you want to work with Venture Ever After. read more

First of all, I can't say enough! 1. Wonderful communication 2. So easy and stress-free to make payments 3. Warm and engaging style 4. Professional demeanor 5. Worked amazing with our four legged fur-child We hired Nadia Joyce Photography for our engagement and wedding photos and she did not disappoint! For our engagement photos we traveled up to Trillium Lake where my spouse proposed. She was very eager and extremely creative. She even made my reluctant fiance (at the time) blossom under the camera and got him to genuinely smile. She was warm, friendly, and made both of us at ease (not to mention our German Shepherd!). For our wedding she met and surpassed every expectation. She was engaging with all of our guests and worked amazing with our four legged fur child. She captured moments I never even thought to request. It's been a year and our wedding pictures now scroll across my desktop background and still bring tears of joy and happiness to my eyes. We will being using Nadia Joyce for all our future photography needs! read more

I would hire Nadia over and over as my photographer of choice for any event or family portrait session. She is great with animals, and the pet photos I have from her are beautiful; she has a knack for capturing those great characteristic expressions. She is great to work with - very friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. She is great at providing helpful suggestions for the creative side of things, but making sure that her clients get what they are looking for. She personally edits the photos she takes and provides you with digital copies in a very timely manner. I even have some prints of her artistic works, which are also beautiful. I highly recommend Nadia if you're in need of a conscientious, artistic photographer! read more

Nadia is simply amazing. Her creativity and talent is immediately evident through her gorgeous portfolio. Then you find out that she is incredibly warm, professional and has a genuine love for what she does and each of her clients. We had made plans pre-COVID for our maternity and newborn photoshoot, and after everything shutdown, she was there being patient, understanding and extremely cautious while we figured out a new schedule around the changing restrictions. She went above and beyond to ensure our concerns and local guidelines were met. Our maternity shoot at the coast was everything we had hoped for! I am extremely anxious with professional photos due to a past experience, and Nadia took the time to listen and reassure me leading up to our event. Her enthusiasm and positivity during the shoot helped me relax. I ended up having a great time, something I didn't even think was possible! Thanks to her, we now have absolutely beautiful images that we will forever treasure. She is worth every penny and we cannot wait to work with her again. read more

Working with Nadia was such a wonderful experience! Not only is she an amazingly talented photographer, but a true artist. You can tell that she absolutely loves what she does and that love shines through the photos she takes. She puts her heart and soul into every photo! We had so much fun working with her. She is engaging and encouraging, especially if you're not great in front of the camera. She makes all your insecurities melt away and feel at ease. Her exuberance while she's taking photos is infectious and you will be beaming after spending time with her. She is extremely professional, organized and straight forward about everything you should expect from her. I cannot say enough about her. Our experience was completely perfect and I will cherish the photos forever. I plan to hire her every time I need a photographer. Do yourself a favor and hire her! You will not be sorry. read more

Had an amazing time with Nadia as my wedding photographer! She and her second shooter were both lovely to work with, and made my wedding day much more smooth and stress-free. She had to work in pretty cramped and crowded conditions with our pre-wedding 'getting ready' shots, and then we had to do a last-minute change of plans for our first look when our location was rained out. She handled both situations with absolute grace and calm, and never let me worry for a minute! They were able to give us great direction on the posed photos so that everyone was natural and having a good time, and captured amazing candid shots without ever feeling obtrusive. Most of all, the pictures are BEAUTIFUL!! I can't stop looking through the album, it's such amazing work. She captured every moment I wanted. My husband and I remarked that they must have some kind of amazing mental checklist going for events, cause they got at least one gorgeous photo of every single person who attended our wedding. Would absolutely recommend to anyone - Nadia's the best! read more

Rates are very competitive, and photos easily accessible to download or share on facebook with her online set-up. Editing was prompt and received my photos on CD as well as online format in very good time. read more
