Kyle Sent on 05/29/2024Unbelievable
Straight to the point, if you are eloping and want it to be photographed these are the humans you want doing it for you. All around professionals and at the end of the day felt like long time friends. The work speaks for itself and is worth every penny, no questions asked. Truthfully could charge more and still hold its value. Brian and Natasha are the real deal. -

Natasha and Brian were such a great team to work with for our wedding. We really wanted to feel comfortable about the flow of the day and the vibe of the photos and they were ready to guide us from the beginning to end! Natasha took special care to share resources and get to know family dynamics etc so that we would all feel good about the day. I loved that they captured such special shots that we will cherish for the rest of time! Thank you guys!! -

The most AMAZING photos!!!
Natasha and Brian are AMAZING!!!! They are an incredible team and captured moments from our day that we will treasure forever. Being a photographer myself I was nervous about finding the perfect photographer. Natasha and Brian knocked it out of the park. Natasha is detailed orientated and kept us right on time. She got our photos back to us within a month and we got so emotional at how stunning they were. There are some really great candid shots as well. They also had fun with it which ensured for amazing shots. So worth it! Highly recommend Natasha Shapiro Photography.The Cardinals's reply:
Aaaaaaah Victoria!! Thank you so much for such a sweet review! I'm so glad you and Justin loved your photos. Fingers crossed our paths cross in Colorado someday! -

Photography was one of the most important vendors for our wedding and we could not be happier that we were able to work with Natasha! Natasha is absolutely wonderful and was so easy to work with from the jump. When we did our engagement shoot Natasha made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and put the nerves of being professionally photographed for the first time at ease. We were obsessed with the photos from the session, making us even more excited for our wedding. Fast forward to our wedding day and Natasha and Brian were the BEST! My husband and I couldn't have asked for two better people to spend our day with. They helped make the day feel seamless, made us laugh, and were overall superstars at helping us navigate the day. We got our photos back earlier this month and could not be more in love. If you are looking for artistic, beautiful photos that truly capture the emotion and vibe of the day, Natasha and Brian are 1000% your people!The Cardinals's reply:
Omg thank you so so much, Madison! Hangin' with you and Rob (and late night pizza hangs with you) on wedding day was so much fun! Don't be strangers!! Come visit! -

From the first e-mail contact with Natasha, we knew we wanted her at our wedding. We loved her aesthetic and her chill vibes. Natasha somehow walks the line of professionalism, relaxed demeanor, experience, and enthusiasm for your vision. During our engagment shoot and our wedding she made us feel super comfortable and we were absolutely delighted when we got our photos. I can't recommend her highly enough and would hire her again in a heartbeat! -

Natasha is professional artist and professional cool person
Natasha is an amazing photographer, and you should absolutely hire her for your wedding. She responded quickly when we first reached out, and we were sold after just a few minutes of looking at her previous photos and speaking with her on the phone. Our package included an engagement shoot (which we definitely recommend!), and she had terrific suggestions for location, especially since she was so familiar with the area (NY). This was a great opportunity to get to know her, her partner Brian, and their awesome dog Fern. The entire experience easily could have been stressful, especially since we’ve never really had professional photographs taken, but Natasha’s expertise and overall good vibes made it a really fun experience. The photos were beautiful and there were a ton to choose from!
Natasha also had the perfect level of involvement in the months leading up to the wedding. She was always ready to offer advice or help us planning, but didn’t ask for a lot of time for us, which was much appreciated during the busy times. The actual day of the wedding couldn’t have gone more smoothly. They had a depth of knowledge of the venue that made sure we got the most beautiful photos possible. They were able to get through the more “formal” family photos quickly and efficiently, and they knew the time frame completely. But maybe most importantly, they were fun and calming to be around. We never felt stressed during our photos, and we enjoyed every minute. When we got our photos back, they were delivered through an online portal and the whole presentation was fabulous. I was able to facetime and watch my parents look through the album themselves for the first time, and we loved every single photo.
Natasha is a unique talent. We wouldn’t have changed anything. If you are fortunate enough to get the opportunity to work with her, you should absolutely do so. -

Amanda N. Sent on 09/07/2021Above and beyond amazing
Natasha, and her partner Brian, were truly wonderful, and our wedding was made so much more relaxing and enjoyable with them behind the lens. Natasha made a big chunk of what we thought we would be nervous about (posing, cheesy fake smiles, being watched) simply disappear. She kept us acting like ourselves, rarely asked us to pose, instead giving us cues like "just talk to each other". I think a big part of her success is she took the time to get to know us, and by the end of everything, genuinely felt like a friend. We had her at our engagement party as well as our engagement shoot and wedding, and the photos are the most beautiful, most "us" we ever could have hoped for. Totally exceeded expectations. I would recommend her to anyone getting married or in need of professional photographs. -

Best photographer ever!
When my husband and I had to postpone our wedding to next year because of COVID, we knew we still wanted to have a small ceremony with immediate family this year. Natasha was SUPER accommodating with changing our original wedding date to next year AND was also available (and super supportive) for our new date for our "microwedding". The pictures she took were amazing, everything we expected and more. She captured the happiness, laughs, and genuine moments AND sent them to us in such a small amount of time. I can't wait for her to capture those moments next year as well. She is super kind, friendly, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. -

Natasha is the dream photographer. She is the perfect balance of professional and laid back; she can blend into the background on the day of, as well as add to the overall vibe of the day (my family adored her). How rare is it to work with someone who quickly becomes an honorary member of your family for the day?! She's a gem and her work speaks for itself -- my husband and I feel very lucky and grateful that she so perfectly captured our special day. -

Amazing!
Wow what can we say, Natasha was amazing! She went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed and we were obsessed with how all the photos came out. We cannot speak more highly of her!! She is also an awesome human just to hang out with and we had so much fun with her on the day. Thank you Natasha for making our wedding truly memorable! -

We loved Natasha from our very first Facetime. She was so relaxed, helpful and sweet. When COVID hit, she was extremely flexible and positive while we brainstormed alternate wedding days and locations. We ended up eloping and while we had to change a lot of the details, Natasha's photos make the day feel like a full blown wedding day. She perfectly captured tender candid moments, moments of joy with friends but also was SO skillful in directing our more poised photos. She knows what looks AMAZING and she's a pro at making it happen. Couldn't recommend Natasha any more - she's the loveliest person to spend your wedding day with and you'll be blown away by the photos. -

Karen Sent on 11/14/2019Incredible photos, delightful people
My husband and I worked with Natasha and Brian for our engagement and wedding shoots. They were a total joy to work with, and take stunning photos. Neither of us are very comfortable in front of a camera, but during the engagement shoot Natasha made us feel relaxed and un-self-conscious, and the photos came out natural and lovely. Having both of them at the wedding was fantastic, we're really happy that we now have multiple angles of the ceremony. They have a great eye for special, unplanned, moments, and captured so many that we did not get to witness ourselves. Also they are both amazing, genuine people, and getting to hang out with them was definitely a highlight of the whole wedding process. I highly recommend them!The Cardinals's reply:
Ahhhhh! Thank you so much, Karen! Hanging with you and Casey was a blast, plus those cookies you gave away as your favors were to die for. We're so grateful for such a sweet review! -

Natasha is a literal gem. My husband and I are not photo people. We do not take photos of each other, so the idea of hiring a photographer was a little daunting. Natasha was a no brainer after we met her. She is completely easing going and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We really wanted candid shots and I feel like that is where she excels. She keeps you on schedule but is never pushy which is kinda amazing when you think about it!The Cardinals's reply:
Jess + Axel, thank you for being so kind to Brian and I! We had such a blast with your family (especially your sweet dad!) and are so thankful to have been able to enjoy your wedding with you! You guys knew you had me when I swooned over your botanical garden choice for your engagement too haha. -

Morgan A. Sent on 02/03/2020Natasha was our ROCK on our wedding day!
Natasha rolls with the punches with a smile on her face, and manages to get beautiful photos when you least expect it! We had some challenges with our wedding, but Natasha was always there for us and didn't let anything bother her. She's kind and friendly to everyone, but also doesn't let anyone get in her way to get the job done.
She can make anyone feel comfortable, and anyone who's camera shy look amazing. We work in the television industry and are truly only comfortable behind a camera (or computer), but she really worked with us to get us to relax and enjoy the process. She came up with a bunch of creative solutions to get great photos and listened to what we wanted.
She was always punctual, prepared, and just an all around boss! Easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding, and we'd absolutely recommend her and would use her again! -

Gisele P. Sent on 08/02/2019Simply the best! (better than all the rest~)
I found Natasha months ago because she did the photos of a friend's wedding and I was instantly in love. I had her do a small engagement shoot in October for us and those came out so spectacularly that there was no doubt she would be the one used for my wedding.
Natasha is professional yet personable. We clicked instantly. It's like having a buddy taking your pictures for you. You know she knows what she's doing, but you'll also have good conversation while she's at it. She somehow knows exactly when to step in and when to just let things happen. She's dedicated as hell - she drove 7 hours upstate for my wedding, with zero issues. The pictures came out so beautifully that it brought me to tears. I have given her name to anyone who has asked me about her because she deserves all the press I can manage to give her. I know that whenever I might need a professional photog, she's going to be the only one I consider. I can not recommend her highly enough. -
