Stop your search now! Dana & Nate are the best!

I don't have the words to explain my adoration and appreciation for Dana & Nate. They photographed our November '21 wedding in Palm Springs, as well as our engagement photos in Los Angeles, and went above and beyond at every opportunity. Although wedding season has been especially busy this year they made us feel as if we were the only bride and groom on their schedule. They are punctual, detail oriented, thoughtful, and TALENTED. They brought love and light to every moment of our special day and kept our unruly wedding party on schedule all day long! You spend A LOT of time with your photographers the day of your wedding and being with Dana and Nate was like being with our best friends, stylists, and planner - all in one. They kept us calm, tamed every stray hair - even changed my shoes when I couldn't bend down in my dress! haha Leading up to the wedding they responded to every question and concern - and were so unbelievably patient when we changed the venue for our engagement photos about 17 times. If you're considering them for your wedding - or for any photo needs really -please don't look any further. Dana & Nate are the best of the best out there.

We LOVE Dana & Nate. Best Experience

We were lucky to find Dana & Nate to capture our special day. From the moment we met them, we felt as if we were hanging out with friends. They have a delightful and cheerful presence that makes it obvious they enjoy what they do. You see the love in every shot. Whether it's traditional posed or candid, they have a great eye for light, location and timing. They were able to seamlessly incorporate our mountainside venue that showcased the beautiful views of Palm Springs and the valley. They also used the stunning flowering gardens as a natural backdrop to complement the spectacular views. They took incredible pictures without us ever knowing they were there. There are lots of choices when it comes to wedding photographers, but we can say with confidence that you will be glad you chose Dana & Nate.

You can stop your search!!

WOW - There’s no better word to describe these incredible photographers. Nate and Dana were incredible from start to finish. They shot our engagement photos months before the wedding and made us feel so comfortable with something that we were honestly not excited about. And it ended up being SO much fun!! This helped make our big day go smoothly, as we felt like they were friends. Nate and Dana were kind, flexible, and direct as they guided us through the day, making sure that they got every shot we wanted. They left shortly before the party ended, and get this - we had fifteen beautiful preview photos texted to us before we even left the venue!!! How great is that! We can’t say enough about these people. Would give 6 stars if we could.

Amazing photographers

There are so many words that could describe Dana and Nate’s amazing photography skills. They made our wedding shoot feel so natural and fun that you couldn’t help but seeing how happy we were in our pictures. Which I must add, we had a couple dozen sent to us within an hour of the reception being over and was able to share the sneak peeks with our family and friends right away. Their ability to capture beautiful moments is something special and we couldn’t be happier to have had the privilege to have them document our wedding. Thank you again for making us so comfortable and we can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures

All the LOVE for Dana & Nate

Dana and Nate are the absolute BEST!! We received multiple recommendations from wedding planners, florists, and other vendors in the wedding industry saying how amazing they are to work with. After one phone conversation with Dana as well as browsing their website, I was sold on working with them. The best way to describe them is professional yet down-to-earth, romantic yet playful, creative, capable, timeless, and honest. They captured the essence of our wedding day PERFECTLY. We got married in a logistically complicated location with the possibility of multiple things not going to plan, however, Dana and Nate were un-phased by the potential challenges and made the most of the beautiful landscape. We could not be happier with how our photographs turned out and will cherish them always. I honestly couldn't say enough amazing things about Lovers of Love. I would recommend them 100000x over. Even my sister, who is a few years younger, after seeing our wedding photos said she will book them for her wedding AS SOON AS she gets engaged :)

100% satisfied with their service

I’m so amazed by all the pictures Dana and Nathan took for my wedding and amazed every time I look at all the pictures. They were not only Photographers! They also assisted us with the getting ready part and shared their knowledge and ideas for wedding planning. Dana did so much for me and made me feel calmed down when I was getting nervous about last minute wedding issues. I would rehired them over and over. They are very professional and fun too.

Literal perfection.

OK. Honestly, I’ve waited a while to write this (almost a year….SORRY!!!!) because it’s been super daunting to me. And that’s because IT’S SO HARD TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE TWO.

Literally, every person under the sun will tell you “the most important vendor for your wedding day is X” … and unless they say photographer, they’re legit wrong. We had pretty much everything go wrong on our wedding day, including the fact that the cops showed up and shut down the entire thing. I’m not kidding. We were dancing our first dance to “God Only Knows” and literally the cops came because a neighbor complained the music was too loud (it was the correct decibel according to Palm Springs laws, and we had a permit from the city). ANYWAY THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT.

It really could have just straight-up ruined the day. But seriously, Nate and Dana kind of rocked our worlds and made everything just so ok and great that it. was. fine. My most present memories of the day were hanging out with both of them (seriously, you’ll spend the most time in the day with your photographers, so it’s super important that you feel comfortable with them …and if you’re obsessed with them that’s an added bonus haha). Not only that but, I cannot express enough how much I treasure and LOVE the photos they took. They’re next level.

We live on the east coast but have family in CA and I plan to reach out to Nate and Dana every year for photos. Also, they have super cute kids and are really funny and real and just cool. They’re the people you meet once and want to be friends with forever.

I love them, I love our photos and if you’re at all on the fence about who to pick for your wedding day hopefully this helps you to make the right choice.

Photographers

Dana and Nate are THE best photographers and people in general.. hands down!
First off, they are easy to communicate with whether it’s in the initial set up of everything or in person during the fun stuff. They are detail oriented in the most amazing ways and it shows in their work - which is stunning to say the least!
We have gotten to work with them 3 times and each time was a blast, each time they got photos back to us quickly, and each time we fell in love with 100 photos of ourselves (they made us vain at no extra charge).
Our wedding day of course was the cherry on top, we felt so happy to have the both of them help guide us thru our day and capture every special moment! They truly have blessed us with so many memories :)
Can’t wait for our next season of photos!

Photographers and Friends!

When we were planning our wedding we were SO NERVOUS about finding a photographer. We are very awkward and nervous in front of a camera. We wanted someone who would somehow be able to make us feel comfortable and capture all of those small intimate moments at our wedding. The second we FaceTimed with Nate and Dana all of our nerves were gone! They were so easy going and relaxed and immediately felt like old friends!!! We LOVED all of our photos and were so happy to have them be a part of our big day. I seriously need to have another event so I can work with them again!! They are truly the best and I recommend them to everyone I know!!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
