    Photographer of our dreams!

    Simply the best! The attention to detail, and artistic ability was phenomenal! My wife and I discovered Natalie and had to have her as a photographer! She captured our wonderful moments together better than we could’ve ever imagined! Absolute joy to work with and felt like family! We highly recommend her services for any photography needs, you won’t regret as it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! ❤️ A&M

    Just a wonderful experience

    Where do we even start to describe our experience with Natalie as our wedding photographer? She was professional, easy to work with, and so good at making the process feel natural and not awkward. We are so in love with the photos she took! Would highly recommend!

    Highly recommended photographer

    We are so thankful we hired Natalie to photograph our wedding and I can't recommend her enough. She was ready and willing to do any shots we wanted and she was always so responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond and our guests loved her! great at photographing children as well. Cannot wait to see our album!

    Natalie was Fantastic!

    The pictures came out wonderfully and Natalie was so great to work with before, during, and after our wedding. She captured all the important moments as well as the little moments that made the day so special. I am so happy that we hired Natalie and would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Natalie captured the beauty of four generations!

    We had an amazing experience with Natalie at our recent family reunion. She was so easy to work with and above all, she was incredibly patient. It’s not easy to capture four generations!!! Family members were extremely impressed with her photography. We will cherish her workmanship for a lifetime.

    Friendly, flexible, and responsive

    Having planned the wedding during covid, there was nothing more important than having a good quality photographer who was also flexible. Natalie took the time to talk to me before the wedding to really understand what we wanted in terms of photos. She was very professional and timely in responding- I don’t think I went more than 2 hours without hearing back from her. Her work is great and she has been patiently waiting for use to pick the photos to do our wedding album. One thing I personally forgot to do is ask for a second photographer— which I realized was an option after the fact — still didn’t affect the quality of work. The day of the wedding, you could barely notice she was there- she blended in and took a ton of beautiful pictures both posed and candid.

    Would highly recommend her.

    Natalie was a joy to work. We got some really great photos. You should hire her.

    TLDR: When you are a former wedding photographer getting married, it is really hard to step out from behind the camera and relinquish control of the creative process to someone else. Natalie was a joy to work. We got some really great photos. You should hire her.

    We had a 10.10.2020 "covid wedding" at home with our 8 immediate family members and our cat. Natalie was very careful with CDC protocols (mask, social distance.)

    I asked to meet with Natalie a week before our wedding and she put me at ease. She was very pleasant to work with on the day of our wedding also. At our initial meeting I shared with her some of my previous wedding work (I kept copies of some of my favorite client books) and we had a very good conversation about our individual "eye" for pictures and I pointed out my favorite all time wedding photo. She has a good memory, because she pretty much nailed it, getting a very close replica of it. Good job and thank you.

    Natalie went above and beyond on our wedding day. Our ceremony location was the front porch and she had to get up on ladders to capture some of the shots. She also helped my mother in law style our wedding cupcakes for photos because I was stuck upstairs nursing our baby (yes... the bride was breastfeeding!!!) As a new mom with a very young infant I knew our wedding day would involve breaks to feed our baby girl. I was particularly glad that Natalie is also a mom, so I didn't feel pressured to hurry up and it was certainly better in my mind knowing I was working with a photographer who is also a mom herself and understands!

    Another important point,. I am an almost 45 year old bride (who just had a baby!) and my husband is 51, so we are NOT models ...(but I think we still cleaned up pretty good!). Natalie did a very good job at finding good angles to photograph us, wrinkles, crows feet and all. She also did a nice job of gently making my middle 40's look pretty good without being super obvious with photoshop. I definitely appreciate that. I have never enjoyed being photographed and am actually very camera shy and she managed to get good pictures of me.

    My mom, an avowed photophobe who won't even use FaceTime because she hates seeing herself in pictures, said she was also at ease with Natalie and we got some terrific pictures of her that I will cherish always. It means a lot to me in particular because my mom is not in great health and I will have these nice pictures of her to look at and to show our daughter in some later time when she is no longer with us.

    Natalie was also very good with my husband's older two kids and got GREAT photos of them which usually never happens. And our cat liked her too. She got some really nice pictures of our Siamese 'dogcat' - he didn't run from her, so that also says something.

    Thanks Natalie for helping us capture our wedding day, Covid and all

    We fully recommend Natalie as the photographer for your wedding or special event! She did both our engagement photos and our wedding and we love the photos. She was always very responsive and helped keep us on task when we were running a mile a minute taking care of wedding things. We knew her previously through her husband so felt comfortable having her photograph everything but for those who haven't met her before, she is relaxed and fun yet assertive enough to wrangle folks together. She provides a lot more value for the money compared to many of the quotes we received when researching photographers.

    For our engagement photos, she helped us find some really cool spots in the District for engagement photos and they turned out great! She was really easy going and flexible, and anyone would be lucky to work with her! It was great to get a test run and we can't wait for the wedding!

    For our wedding photos, the wedding photos came out beautifully. Natalie was super flexible and brought in some great ideas for photos. She's awesome, and we were so glad to have her with us to capture the day!! Thank you!!

    Natalie was warm, friendly, organized, and professional! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my wedding day! After our initial meeting I knew immediately that she 'got' my vision, and she went to work right away! She was very communicative and happy to answer any questions I had (and I had many)! She even took the extra time to visit the venue with me so we'd be ready on the big day. Day of, she was on time, ready to go, and everywhere she needed to be. She snapped so many outstanding pics and sent me the finalized photo set quicker than I expected. Her special touches were also most appreciated - bringing me congratulatory chocolates, sending the pictures on a thumb drive in a cute box with a card and also sending us a printed photo - our first framed photo in our home from the wedding! Natalie was an absolute pleasure to work with, choose her and you won't be disappointed!

    Natalie is amazing. Truly talented and incredibly patient. We have had several photo sessions with Natalie and each session was enjoyable and relaxed. I would recommend her again and again.

    Natalie was a great event photographer. She managed to get every shot we wanted and more, but never intruded or made anyone feel "managed." Many of the candid shots she took are priceless and really capture the moment.
