It was a no-brainer to work with Nathan for our wedding, after seeing his work. He has great examples of outdoor and nighttime photography on his blog and with our wedding being held in the evening and mostly outdoors, his style fit in perfectly with our vision of the day.

We chose to have two photographers for the full day, and Nathan and his wife were a wonderful pair to work with. They were prepared, professional and took the reigns, as we wanted. We let them be the experts, and had them direct us throughout the day. The output speaks for itself; it's not just photographs, each image is a piece of art. If you are looking for specific photos or poses, definitely provide them but I would recommend letting Nathan do his thing!

His use of lighting is magical and I can't even count how many people have commented on how great our photographer was. He made every moment beautiful and I can't say enough good things. I'm just so glad we have these images for the rest of our lives. Best vendor decision we made.

Fantastic experience with Nathan and Kate

Nathan and Kate took our wedding photos earlier this month. They were with us for nearly 11 hours and captured the special moments from our day. Communication was easy, and they had our finished photos to us in less than two weeks! They had a creative eye for finding the best backdrops and backgrounds. We are very happy with the pictures and would recommend Nathan Desch Photography to anyone!

The Absolute Best!

Nathan did our wedding at the Phoenixville Foundry and we could not have asked for someone better! From the moment we met him, we knew he was the perfect fit. Nathan is so kind, and really listened to what we wanted and what was important to us. One of my favorite things about his work is how great he is with lighting. The Phoenixville Foundry is very dark and we were worried about how the photos turned out but we loved each shot we saw. Nathan also did a great job getting those intimate photos without being too up close and personal. We have so many beautiful shots from our ceremony but we didn't even notice where the cameras were. I would 100% recommend Nathan for your wedding!

We found Nathan online and fell in love with his unique photos. Nathan was awesome to work with through the whole process. He spent the entire wedding day with us from early morning hair and make up to some evening shots after the reception. During the ceremony and reception we barely noticed he was there, but he captured every moment. Most importantly, the photos are amazing! We highly recommend Nathan!

Excellent experience beginning to end!

First, Nathan did our engagement shoot which turned out beautiful. Then, for our wedding they outdid that! We had Nathan and a 2nd photographer all day and they were with us from beginning to end. Captured a bunch of personal moments and I never felt as if they were even there. Getting hundreds of thousands of pictures after the wedding was a great surprise. Nathan even pulled us away a couple of times to get excellent sunset pictures. All in all, they did a great job and I would highly recommend them for an outdoor wedding but I am sure they can capture the very essence of just about any wedding.

Thank you so much Nathan!

AMAZING!!! We are from Nashville, TN and got married March 2016 in Elizabethtown, PA. We came across Nathan's work searching for a photographer that took creative and unique photos. With the first photo we saw on his site we new instantly we had to have Nathan photograph our wedding. He has such a distinct and gorgeous photography style. Nathan was very easy to work with, and extremely responsive leading up to the wedding. This was especially great since we were so far away, and because of the distance, the first day we met was our wedding day. Nathan was so accommodating, nice and friendly. We are not the most relaxed in front of a camera but Nathan instantly made us feel comfortable. We had a list of photos that needed to be taken (family/bridal party... etc.) but left it up to Nathan to use his creative eye for the location of those photos at the venue. We were amazed by the creative ideas he had, they truly made every photo unique and special to us. Our photos are so artistic, we are so glad that we have such gorgeous pictures. We get complimented by everyone who has seen the photos and I highly recommend his services to everyone! He is extremely talented and has an eye for seeing things that will make absolutely fantastic pictures.

Nathan and his wife were our photographers for our wedding day and they are absolutely amazing! They were there from the morning until the end of the night and captured our whole day in their photos. I'm in love with all my wedding pictures and their shots truly show the story and timeline of my day. They got all my facial expressions that explained my mood throughout the day and all the minor details were captured. They say your wedding day goes fast and it's true - but having these pictures to look back on makes all the memories come back. Nathan works really well with lighting and finding the best shot for pics. I told him I wouldn't have even been upset if it rained on our wedding day, because he's so good at using those conditions to make awesome pics. Overall, I would definitely recommend him - he's friendly, professional, and really good at what he does!

During my wedding day Nathan arrived on time and was very professional but still laid back and was able to joke with my crazy crew. He is willing to do anything for a good angle or shot - we have made him get into a river or swampy pond for a picture twice now and he was very happy to do so to get the right angle and lighting. I have not seen the actual wedding picture yet because I just got married a couple weeks ago, but I'm sure they will be amazing.

My husband and I found Nathan on theknot and instantly fell in love with his photos. They were more artistic than the ones from any of the other photographers we had previously considered using. We had both our engagement session and wedding photos taken with Nathan. I can not stress enough how professional and creative he was. He saw lighting, scenery, and photo opportunities that I couldn't begin to notice or understand. He knew exactly how and where to place us to capture the perfect photographs. Nathan was extremely professional and made sure to get all of our "must have" photographs throughout the day. He was absolutely wonderful to work with and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for the most artistic, highest quality pictures for their wedding.

If you're reading these reviews to try to decide whether or not Desch Photography is the right choice for you, I hope you'll find our experience and feedback helpful. - He was the model of professionalism. Patient, but direct, and able to manage a lot of personalities and opinions/suggestions at once. Don't underestimate how important that on your wedding day. - He was great at communicating -- answered all our questions quickly. Was flexible and available on short notice. On the day of, he let us know when he'd need us, and was barely even noticeable, but was flying around the entire time. - You saw the pictures. That's why you're reading these reviews. He is creative, but not tacky or goofy. He sees things and stages them better than anyone else we were even considering. A lot of the people you are considering will point fancy cameras at you, and then touch them up later -- and that's it. Desch understood angles, lighting, and when was the right time to take the pictures we wanted in certain spots. I can't recommend him enough. If you're going to save a couple dollars by using someone else, do yourself a favor and cut corners somewhere else. Nate

Nathan provided a service level more than anything we could have asked for! When we first reached out to Nathan, he was quick to respond and was so excited to meet us! We met up with him in person over a Panera dinner and immediately connected with him. He is just one of those people that you can immediately get along with and feel comfortable around. Our engagement session was so much fun! At first I was sad that the weather didn't hold up (starting storming), but Nathan assured me that it was going to turn out beautiful, as he loves shooting dramatic scenery. I was blown away when the photos came out awesome! The wedding was even more impressive. Nathan showed up around 10:30am and wasn't done taking photos until 11pm. Now that is something that is rare to find in a wedding photographer. He knew exactly where to be at the right time and seamlessly blended into the wedding. We just got our photos back from the wedding (a little over a month!) and they are so beautiful! Nathan is so personable, fun, and professional all at the same time. My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Nathan as our photographer. We highly recommend him to others looking to capture their big day!

We were looking for a photographer for our wedding in August and all it took was one look at Nathan's website and we were sold! Nathan's wedding package came with an engagement session which was great because we got a chance to meet him and immediately we felt at ease. Working with Nathan and Christelle was such a joy. They knew that we didn't want cookie cutter shots and they definitely delivered above and beyond. Our families and friends all commented on how magical our day was and how it was perfectly captured on the pictures. The only problem we're having is picking which picture to put in the frame because they are all beautiful... Looks like we're going to need a bigger wall... Picking Nathan for our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we've made. Worth every single penny!

Having Nathan as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. Photography was incredibly important to us, and we had such a hard time trying to find the perfect photographer before we found Nathan. Some photographers are fine art photographers who can take wonderful portraits but aren't able to capture the many moments of your wedding as it unfolds. Some are photojournalists who can document every little moment, but their pictures lack the artistry and creativity to make them anything truly special. We didn't want to have to choose, and finding Nathan was like a miracle because with him, we didn't have to. Nathan has a gift and is able to look into his camera and take pictures in a way that makes ordinary things look extraordinary. We got back over 1000 jaw droppingly beautiful photographs that perfectly capture every moment, feeling, and emotion of our wedding day. I truly feel like Nathan went above and beyond with our wedding photos, and I could not be more ecstatic with how they turned out. Nathan is such a pro and was an absolute pleasure to work with - super friendly, easy going, and helpful, with great communication before, during, and after the wedding. He is so kind and even came back to the hotel to take a picture of us with our pet guinea pig, which meant the world to us. We were the first in our college group to get married, and we would not hesitate to recommend him to all our friends. Nathan is an awesome photographer, and you won't regret hiring him!!

Nathan photographed our wedding in June (and engagement shoot a few days before!) and we are so happy with the photos. He and Christelle were simply amazing! Having seen his portfolio, we loved Nathan's artistic take on photos and pretty much left all of the photo-decision-making up to him! Despite not having requested any specific pictures, we got everything we wanted. He and Christelle were very professional while at the same time relaxed and able to put everyone at ease.

I can't begin to describe how phenomenal Nathan's work is. He did our engagement photos and we loved them so much that we wouldn't book our wedding venue until we confirmed that Nathan was available that day to do our wedding! We just got our wedding photos back and they are truly stunning. It wasn't just a handful of shots that were incredible....it's hundreds! Nathan has such a unique eye when it comes to photography which sets him apart from everyone else. Not to mention he is SO easy to work with. He has such a calm demeanor, is very professional and flexible and his talent is out of this world. Book him!

My husband and I found Nathan and his wife, Christelle after reviewing a list of frequently used vendors from our reception venue. The pictures on his website were awesome...the perfect combination of romantic and artsy. We met with him briefly one evening and felt an instant connection. He was laid back, easy to talk to, had a sense of humor and most importantly for me (an anxious bride) not the type of person that would stress me out on the big day.
A free engagement shoot session was the perfect way to get to know Nathan and his style of photography as well as getting used to being in front of the camera. We had a great time walking around boathouse row and the art museum that day…and when we got our pictures (hundreds!) we were totally floored with how incredible they were!
On the morning of our wedding, my husband’s best man had planned for everyone to meet at a local barber for straight shaves. Nathan and Christelle were happy to accommodate them as well as me and my girls at the salon. They got so many awesome shots and it thrilled me that my husband had some of the spotlight that morning, too!
The photos that they captured of the rest of our day were just spectacular and exactly what we wanted. Most importantly, Nathan and Christelle perfectly captured the love that my husband and I share! I would recommend Nathan Desch Photography to absolutely anyone getting married in the tri-state area!

I grew up in a photography obsessed family - pictures at every holiday, birthday, dinner out - closets overflowing with albums and DVDs of pictures. So I always knew photography was going to be my top wedding vendor priority.
We found Nathan by accident, he shot an engagement shoot at a location we were considering, and his photography blew us away. The colors, composition, emotion conveyed in his pictures leaped off the screen to tell a story. My husband and I loved his style of candids and artistic poses. All of his couples seemed at ease and the pictures seemed so natural, not overly orchestrated in traditional stuffy wedding style.
Nathan was quickly responsive to our inquiry and we knew he was our photographer at our first meeting. He came so prepared compared to other photographers we met. Full album examples, pamphlets of tips, questionnaires etc. He was personable, honest, enthusiastic and passionate about his job. We are so incredibly happy we booked him.
Our engagement photo shoot was a blast - felt like wandering around town with a friend just chatting and getting amazing pictures! Our family and friends cannot stop commenting about how great all the pictures are! I only wish I had more wall space so I could hang every single one. :)
At our wedding Nathan and his second shooter/wife were fantastic! They wrangled everyone easily into pictures, made great suggestions for locations and setups, were game for any specific photo requests. It was such a pleasure to have them both there. We even did a few night shots - which we are anxiously awaiting! The sneak peeks on his camera's preview screen were absolutely astounding!
We are so lucky he was the one to capture our special day. We cannot wait to print up loads of prints and surround ourselves with his art in our home. There is magic in the shots he captures. I would recommend him to any couple - A++++ vendor! Thank you Nathan!

We came to hear of Nathan through our wedding coordinator at the venue we had chosen. Both of us had never heard of him, but we were very intrigued by the samples of his work the venue was able to provide. When we checked out his website later on, we knew we found the right one. I was particularly impressed by the time and effort put into the shot compositions. He was not simply interested in giving you a photographic account of your wedding; he wanted to create art. Additionally, he was a very personable individual and he knew how to make his subjects feels at ease. Since the wedding itself, we have spoken through email in regards to the purchasing of engagement photos, and he continues to be very reasonable and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone.

Nathan came highly recommended by our wedding venue. After pouring over the numerous options we had to review, we realized that there was no better option for us. Nathan makes you feel like you are his only client. He is very timely with his responses and always thoroughly answers any inquiries you may have. Furthermore, his shots are stunning. We had never seen anything like some of the pieces he has produced for us. There is a clichéd notion of weddings that the occasion should feel magical, like something out of a fairy tale. Obviously, with the amount of work and stress put into planning, that mentality feels somewhat far-fetched. However, with Nathan at your side, you will be able to look at your pictures and feel that you did achieve that picture-perfect, fairy tale wedding.

Nate did a fantastic job of photographing our wedding. He did an excellent job of having us do what we needed to do in order to get photos done and get back tot he wedding. He was always there taking great candid shots. I have looked at his other photos to know that he knows how to take great photos, and I know that ours will be fantastic. I highly recommend him!

The choice of photographer was one of the most important decisions when we were choosing wedding vendors. Every bride tends to say that the day flies by, so we wanted to make sure we would have photos that captured every moment. Nathan Desch was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. His photos are creative and unique but also allow for a traditional touch as well. Nathan and his team made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day. We would recommend Nathan Desch Photography to all brides who are searching for someone to document their day!
