a great experience

Natalie and her team were amazing. They took such beautiful shots. They really took the time to listen to the images we had imagined for our wedding (including some ethereal night shots) and were able to make those happen for us, but also had so many great ideas of their own and created beautiful photos. We were really impressed with the quality of both the ceremony shots and couple shots but also all the pictures of everyone having fun and dancing. The team can really do it all.

Beautiful photos and a great experience

Natalie was wonderful to work with, from helping to plan a timeline and the amount of time we would want, easy to communicate with, and had great tips for getting the pictures we wanted. 
And our pictures were fantastic! The photos on the beach the lighting is so beautiful and the “under the pier” photo session gave some of my favorite photos. I, of course, had looked at photos beforehand for ideas but didn’t really know what I wanted. She did a nice job coaching us to get the more “candid” posed shots feeling comfortable and looked great.

Natalie Heim Photography was amazing to us!

Natalie Heim Photography was amazing to us! From our engagement photos to our wedding day the weather somehow both days was not exactly as planned but Natalie went out of her way to capture everything I’d imagined! Everything ran so smoothly and organized on wedding day. If you want timeless, heartfelt photos and a photographer who truly cares, this is the one. We love all of our photos!

Beautiful photos

Natalie is a wonderful wedding photographer. As a second time mature bride having a very small wedding with only kids and grandkids in attendance, I wasn't sweating the small stuff. But the location was the OBX in October. So of course on the day of our wedding there was a nor’easter hitting squarely.  Natalies calm demeanor and flexibility to move our date by one day made every difference in the world since rain was blowing sideways on our original date and we did not have an indoor venue to take pictures in. While it was a bit cloudy still that day it made for the most beautiful wedding photos any bride could ask for.  Thank you Natalie for your beautiful work to capture our day!

Pure Magic

Natalie is the best photographer we could have ever hoped for. Professional, calm, intuitive, and wildly talented. Our photos are breathtaking. Every image feels like a piece of art. We are over the moon! Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. Natalie’s eye for detail, light, and genuine connection is unmatched. We’re beyond grateful and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you!!

We had an amazing experience with Natalie Hiem for our beach wedding photos. She was incredibly personable, easy to work with, and made everyone feel comfortable. The pictures came out beautiful, she captured the scenery, emotions, and special moments perfectly. She did an outstanding job, and I highly recommend her!

She did a fantastic job, affordable, and service with a smile. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or any other events you may have.

40th Anniversary vow renewal

We were celebrating our 40th anniversary in the Outer Banks and invited family and close friends to our vow renewal ceremony. We didn't want the typical "posed" wedding photos. We wanted mostly candid shots to capture the spirit of the occasion and the people in attendance. Natalie was phenomenal! She was easy to work with and accommodated all of our requests. She arrived promptly, examined the event space and made suggestions for set up so she could capture shots without obstruction. Throughout the afternoon she checked in with asking if there was anything specific we might want. I received detailed information shortly afterwards with information on when we would receive our photos. They arrived in a few weeks and we were more than thrilled. We would highly recommend her services if you are planning an event in OBX.

Above & Beyond!!

WOW!! Natalie truly is amazing! She's been more than accommodating from beginning to end! I'm extremely unphotogenic & was overwhelmed with anxiety on my wedding day -thankfully she knew exactly what to say to put my mind at ease! More importantly, how to instruct us on where to go, how to do what, & when to do it so my pictures turned out better than I could have ever dreamed possible & I couldn't be happier!

Beautiful Pictures

I would absolutely recommend Natalie Heim Photography for engagement & wedding sessions! Natalie was very responsive when coordinating, she never left us feeling in the dark or in question of anything. Natalie was very flexible and accommodating when my fiancée and I traveled to the Outer Banks the week of a highly anticipated category 5 hurricane, which was scheduled to hit the coast on our original picture date. She made herself available for another day, monitored the weather & kept our original session time (sunset) as this was very important to us! My fiancée and I are not familiar with posed photography and Natalie made us feel at ease and was happy to guide poses during the session. Being out of state & unfamiliar with destination area vendors, I relied on the reviews of others and Natalie’s portfolio to assist with the decision. So I am pleased to leave such a highly rated review- please consider working with Natalie when booking photography sessions!
