    Natalia is the best!

    When my husband and I started wedding planning, we know that our priority was ABSOLUTELY to get the best photographer we could. He from The Netherlands, we both come from massive families and have massive groups of close friends, and we knew this was the only day that we would have such large parts of our families and friend groups in the same country (let alone the same room). We wanted to capture that to keep forever.

    After weeks of looking, we fell head over heels in love with Natalia's photography after finding her on Instagram. She was a dream to work with. We planned our wedding ourselves and Natalia was so patient with all of our questions (and we had so many of them), she made sure that the day ran smoothly even with so many hiccups in the schedule on our part (turns out, we maybe shouldn't have planned the wedding ourselves-don't worry, it was the most perfect day ever, but uh..we're most certainly not wedding planners), and she kept the vibes so happy and excited when things went wrong or not-quite-to-plan!

    She and her amazing second shooter herded our massive 21 person bridal party and our families into getting beautiful pictures that we'll treasure forever, she made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera (we're both so awkward, that alone is an incredible feat), and she was truly a total pro and a joy to be around the entire day! Seriously, stop shopping and hire Natalia. From one bride to another, it is the best piece of advice I can give you!

    Natalia is a magical wedding photographer!!!

    Natalia is a spectacular wedding photographer, and we are beyond grateful to have worked with her for both our engagement and wedding photography. She is incredibly talented and has the unique ability to capture beautiful, candid moments from the perfect angle. She has a cheerful, joyous personality, and she makes taking wedding photos an enjoyable part of the day -- many guests from our wedding party commented on how fun she was to work with and how her approach to taking group photos made people feel relaxed! She was also incredibly organized with planning the photography timeline and very responsive to questions prior to the wedding day -- this made working with her a seamless process. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond our expectations, using extra time to take more couple photos with different backgrounds and adapting to the backgrounds/landscapes to position us for the perfect shots. Natalia is an incredibly talented photographer who truly captured the magic of the day -- she has my strongest endorsement for any couple looking for her photography style and hoping to capture the beauty of the day!!!

    Truly the best!

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about Natalia!! I did a ton of research when looking for a photographer for my wedding and just knew I had to go with Natalia after looking at her work. Her photographs are BEAUTIFUL and true works of art. Natalia is super friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a bright energy and brought excitement and positivity to my wedding day. During her photoshoots, she helps to guide the poses in a very natural and fun way. She is incredibly organized and responsive and was the one vendor I didn't need to worry about knowing exactly what to do on the big day. We truly couldn't have asked for anyone better!!

    Talented, kind and brilliant

    I want to just begin by saying that my husband's father asked "who is that smiling photographer, she was very special" after our wedding. The energy, care, attention Natalia brought to our wedding day was unparalleled to any service we have ever had for photos. Before our wedding some couples shared that their photographer was difficult to deal with and we say with pride how incredible she and her assistant were on the day. Even aside from that, the photos that we have already seen are absolute perfection. Good lord, we cried when we started looking through, Natalia's talent as a photographer and artist captured the best day of our lives.

    DREAM Photographer, amazing to work with!

    Where do I even begin! From start to finish in my wedding process, Natalia was absolutely amazing and a dream to work with. She made herself readily and easily accessible whenever I had questions, and day of my wedding she took command so I didn't have to worry about a thing! She knew exactly what poses to put us in and always had the best creative ideas to get STUNNING, and I mean breath taking shots. I was obsessed with her editing style from day one, and she delivers above and beyond what you expect. She even turned around sneak peak photos from our wedding literally by the next day so we could post something! You can tell she cares for her couples from day one, and does anything in her power to make you look your best and shine on your wedding day. AND she has several tiered packages, tailored to fit multiple ranges of a budget. I promise you she will be the best investment you make for you wedding.

    Winter Wonderland

    I can’t begin to express in words how amazing Natalia was to work with! I did hours... HOURS of research to find the best photographer. Natalia checked all the boxes- organized, professional, personable, great price and most importantly GORGEOUS photos. I was very picky that I wanted a photographer who could capture perfectly candid photos and Natalia is a pro at that. At the engagement photo shoot and the wedding day, Natalia made us feel completely comfortable. She gave us directions to loosen us up and as a result we got some really spectacular photos. I could go on and on how amazing Natalia is but all I have to say is if you don’t book her you will regret it! She made my winter wonderland dreams come true!

    Highly recommend - great experience

    Choosing Natalia for my wedding in August 2019 was hands down one of the best decided I made during the planning process! I was lucky I found Natalia on Instagram by searching hashtags and loved her work. The communication with Natalia leading up to the engagement photos and wedding was efficient and easy. This was important for me as I didn’t have a wedding planner or a ton of time to plan.

    My (now) husband HATES taking photos and was dreading doing an engagement shoot. After a couple hours shooting with Natalia, he was so surprised how easy it was and loved the results.

    Natalia and her second shooter, Larry, perfectly executed our wedding day by giving clear cut instructions, quickly adjusting when needed and keeping us calm even when we were off schedule. They spent over 8 hours with us for our wedding and were a joy to be around. We were thrilled with our teasers we received (less than 24 hours after our wedding) and the completed album, and so were our family and friends - they couldn’t stop raving about the photos! Thank you, Natalia!!!

    Amazing photographer! Book her!!

    Natalia was the best decision and easily the best money spent in my wedding. From day one she was professional, flexible, and accommodating. She was always available to answer any questions or emails and got back in a timely manor. She worked with my fiancé and I through the pandemic and to top off how amazing she is in the business end her photos are 100 times as good as her business sense. She captured everything we asked of her plus more and got the pictures back to us super fast. If you are looking for a photographer she is the one without a doubt you will not be sorry you booked with her!!!

    Amazing, Professional Wedding Photographer

    Working with Natalia was an incredible experience that made our wedding all the more special. In the lead up to the actual event, Natalia was responsive and flexible, such as working with me to accommodate first looks with both my father and stepfather. We chose a package that included an engagement photo shoot session and so it felt like Natalia truly spent the year getting to know us, our style, and our plans.
    Natalia and her second photographer for the day, Charlie, were incredibly warm, guiding, and professional. All of our family loved working with them (and have told me that they hope they come back for our bigger reception next year). Even our venue asked for her contact information to discuss listing her as a recommended vendor because they were so impressed by her professionalism. As our head wait staff noted, "normally we are running around trying to accommodate photographers but Natalia just steps right in, gets stuff done, and doesn't assume people will do stuff for her." This was all the more true in the face of COVID - Natalia followed protocol and maintained safety measures throughout the day.
    Then, there are the pictures themselves and let me just say: WOW. We loved our engagement photos and when we saw the sneak peek of our wedding photos (ahead of schedule too), I teared up. I could not stop looking at them and sharing them. Natalia did an amazing job in capturing all the elements of the day - the joy, the love, the romance, and us.
    I could not recommend Natalia more. She is a great photographer and a true asset to anyone's wedding day.

    Great experience!

    We asked Natalia to photograph our elopement at city hall in NYC. It was really easy to communicate with her leading up to it. We wanted to get shots of the ceremony at city hall, some with our friends and some of just my husband and I in the city afterwards. She had a leg injury but despite that we were able to get most of the shots we wanted and she even gave us a bit of extra time to compensate which was very nice! She gave us a preview of the photos literally a couple hours later which was a lot faster than we expected! We're really happy with how the photos turned out and appreciate that she included the not so perfect shots if one of us made a funny face or if we were caught blinking. The candidness makes me remember that day in a more real / authentic way. Also, definitely appreciate the more posed shots since they look incredible too!

    Absolutely amazing!

    We had such a great experience working with Natalia! My husband and I have never taken professional photos prior to our elopement and were worried about feeling cheesy and looking staged but Natalia made us both feel super comfortable and made us laugh the entire time. She was able to capture such beautiful photos, even on a dreary, rainy day. Additionally, she was incredibly patient, sweet and accommodating with family photos and location changes. Thank you, Natalia!

    Incredible photographer, amazing work!

    When looking for photographers, I didn't exactly know what I wanted, all I knew was what I didn't like. But when I came across Natalia's page, I knew that she was the photographer for us!

    Not only are her skills amazing, (that is a given!) she is also one of the nicest people I've ever met! My husband and I immediately felt so comfortable around her, and knew that we were in good hands.

    As the day approached, she was great with reaching out and making sure we were on-track, and made sure she had all the information she needed to give us the best day possible. Even as we got super close to the wedding date, Natalia deftly handled last-minute changes and requests!

    On the day-of, Natalia and her shooting partner Larry were incredible! They were everywhere they needed to be, but you wouldn't know it, because they were so professional and discrete! For the family portraits, they were so patient and kind and accommodating with my family. Throughout the day, they were so attentive to our every need, and were always on-hand for an ad-hoc picture request.

    Before, during, and even after the wedding, Natalia has maintained excellent communication with us, sending us a sneak peek of our photos, and this week, she let us know that all of our photos are ready! Her work is incredible, and we can't thank her enough!

    Natalia Wajda Photography's reply:

    Oh my gosh Rebecca this brought the biggest smile to my face. You are so so so sweet. I had the best time with you and Patrick and am so happy that I was able to be there to capture your special day. Thank you SO much a million times!!!!!!!

    Ahhhhmazing!

    Where to begin with Natalia! First off, she is the most charismatic and charming person we have ever worked with, and as a result my husband and I felt 100% comfortable with her throughout both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was easy to communicate with, assisted us with all our inquiries, and despite her foot injury, was on top of everything the day of our wedding. She provided us with sneak-peak photos literally one day after our shoots, and her photo quality and aesthetic is phenomenal. Thank you to Natalia and her team for the amazing experience and for helping us capture the most wonderful day of my and Jorge’s life!

    Natalia Wajda Photography's reply:

    Oh my gosh Ursula. I'm literally smiling so much right now. You are the SWEETEST!!!! Thank you so so so much. This means a lot to me. I can't thank you enough for choosing me as your photographer!!!!!!

    Natalia was great! She made us feel comfortable and took the awkwardness away of posing for pictures. The photography crew genuinely seemed happy for us and captured amazing moments for us. Would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.

    Natalia was so lovely to work with and she did a really excellent job of capturing special moments during our Indian wedding ceremony. I've had so many compliments on her photos! She did her research on our venue and had a cool vision for portrait shots, while also remaining flexible with our needs and schedule. Her package is really great value for the New Jersey area, so I highly recommend her services.

    Our experience with Natalia as our wedding photographer was stupendous. Her professionalism, artistic talent and flexibility were all excellent and there is no better photographer to hire than Natalia with her personal touches to make the day even more memorable. She was able to adjust to the various places chosen for ALL of the pictures to be taken. Bravo!!!

    Natalia is such a wonderful photographer, she made my wedding say so much less stressful! She took all the photos I was hoping for and many more that I absolutely loved. I had told her candid photos were super important, and she took such great ones. They make me so happy to look at!
    The time to get the photos was also super quick. She'd said something like 8 weeks I think, but she had them done within the month! It was seriously impressive.
    She was also super accommodating when I asked for a few more candids to be uploaded, she gave me a whole bunch more. My mom says she looks at the photos everyday!

    Natalia did an outstanding job photographing our May wedding. She made us feel comfortable, was fun to work with and has such a great eye for capturing all the special moments. The photographs turned out beautiful and genuine. An added bonus: She used a special lens that captured an incredibly ethereal and magical atmosphere as it was a super foggy, humid spring day. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
