Hi there! I am so glad you're here.

 

Working with me means more than simply hiring a photographer. It’s about creating an experience where you feel comfortable, present, and free to enjoy every moment. My approach blends candid, documentary-style photography with natural, thoughtfully guided portraits when the moment calls for it.


The best photos come naturally when you feel at ease and can simply be yourselves. Whether it’s your wedding day or an engagement session, I want the experience to feel relaxed and enjoyable, with plenty of laughter and little to worry about.


Together, we’ll create a collection of images that tells the story of your day, capturing not only how everything looked, but how it felt. From the big moments to the little in-between moments, I want your photos to bring you right back to the love, joy, and atmosphere of it all.

Let's create incredible memories you'll cherish for years to come.

A little about me...

 

 

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Nathaniel, but most people call me Nate. I've been in the wedding industry for 4 + years. I’ve had the honor of capturing wedding days and special moments for many incredible couples who trust me to document their love stories.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me spending time with my four legged son, Chowder, exploring new culinary experiences, or crate digging for new records.

I would love the opportunity to be a part of your special day and help you create a beautiful collection of memories that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we book you?

To officially secure your wedding date, I require a signed contract and a non-refundable $1,000 retainer. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding. I recommend booking around 12 months in advance, as dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.


How many photos will we recieve?

This mainly depends on the type of coverage you book. I roughly estimate 50-100 delivered images per contracted hour. Most of my galleries for an 8 hour wedding day average anywhere from 800 to 1,000 images in your final gallery.

How long does it take to get our photos?

This is a very common question! My turnaround time for engagement sessions is about 4-6 weeks. Weddings usually take about 10-12 weeks.

Do you offer albums or prints?

I don't include albums or prints in my packages. However, your final gallery will feature a professional print store where you can conveniently order prints and albums directly.


Do you work with a team?

Yes, 8 and 10 hour wedding packages both include a second photographer.

Will you help us with our wedding timeline?

I do offer timeline assistance to help ensure your day flows smoothly. While I don't plan your entire wedding day, I'll work with you to finalize your photography timeline, offering recommendations on the best lighting and ideal times for photos.
