About

On WeddingWire since 2017

When you receive your wedding photos I want you to feel like,
“WOW — that’s so US!”
It can be hard to feel present in the whirlwind of the day, and even harder to get wedding photos that capture these moments authentically. With a few simple poses that never feel forced or “too much,” I’ll capture all of the big and little moments that tell the story of your wedding day.

My work will make your wedding pictures not just pretty, but feel like YOU. My goal is always to put you at ease by connecting with you, having a good time, and getting you back to the getting-married-and-having-a-party part. Even if you normally feel self-conscious with a camera around, you’ll be having too much fun to even notice it’s there.

The result is gorgeous, authentic wedding photos that look the way the moment felt.

I make timeless wedding photos with true-to-life colors and tangible emotion.
My greatest inspirations are true love and breathtaking spaces, from the architectural to the majestic natural. Every time I pick up a camera, I have three goals: to create beautiful compositions; to evoke your personality, warmth, and love; and to make the session as fun & comfortable as possible.

After a wedding, I often hear that I’ve been a calming presence and that I’ve made taking photos fun, even for people who are usually nervous in front of a camera. By creating a comfortable atmosphere, I make way for the genuine to come forward, making photos that look the way the moment felt.

Nate Smith is all we could have asked for in our wedding photographer. First and foremost, the photographs are stunning and captured so many wonderful perspectives and small details from our wedding day. We both and our wedding party all felt like we’ve never looked better or happier in photographs.

He was very professional and easy to work with throughout the process and was able to incorporate all of our preferences into his wedding-day photography plan.

Nate is also very fun to work with! On the day of, with so many people and logistics, Nate was a calming, entertaining presence and helped make the day as a whole go smoothly. I couldn’t recommended a photographer more highly.

Brilliant photographer!

Nate did an awesome job for our engagement session and wedding photography. He was a pleasure to work with and was very attentive to our needs. He was able to be flexible and create a custom package just for us! The photos for both sessions turned out amazing – Nate really is a brilliant photographer. I would recommend him in a heartbeat for anyone who is looking for great photos and a wonderful person to work with. He put us at ease during our photo sessions, and we are so happy with how they turned out – we will treasure them forever.
