Nathan captured my parents’ 50th anniversary recently. His work was recommended by my cousin who frequently contracts with Nathan to photograph her growing family. I have hired many other photographers in the past but none with as much interest as Nathan. In the months leading up to the anniversary, Nathan was emailing and texting me in preparation. He asked lots of question to assure that he’d produce what I wanted. He was also concerned with being respectful of the rules imposed by our church. On the day of the event, he carried a list of all I asked for so that he was sure to meet all my requests. Nathan arrived on time and took queues from the priest during the ceremony. Guests were impressed with how personable Nathan was. He was excellent with getting the children in our family to pose. My main concern for the event was the well-being of my elderly parents, especially my frail father. Nathan was extremely gentle, patient, and compassionate. He modified his plans depending on how my dad was doing. If dad was not able to meet a certain idea Nathan and I had developed, Nathan would think of something else or figure out another way to do things. He was very caring and careful of my parents and their needs. I was truly impressed at how well he worked with all ages and with how he managed photographing my parents around my father’s needs/limitations. Sadly, soon after the anniversary, my father died unexpectedly. Luckily, I have these beautiful pictures to remind me of the wonderful celebration and, more importantly, of how happy my parents were that day. Nathan captured all the feelings. You will not regret hiring Nathan for your event. I highly recommend his work and will definitely work with him again in the future. Thank you Nathan for capturing such a special event in such a beautiful way for my family.

We absolutely loved working with Nathan! He has exceptional attention to detail and was extremely communicative throughout the planning process and day-of. Most of all my husband and I appreciated Nathan’s sense of humor and calm demeanor day of the event. He was super professional and on top of getting every shot, but also made it fun and was great with guests. We also appreciated his collaborative approach to putting the album together and thoughtfulness about every detail. Overall, fantastic experience and would strongly recommend him!!

Nathan came highly recommended by our wedding venue, but we knew we had a winner after interviewing him and reviewing his online portfolio. Nathan has a way of naturally making us feel relaxed, getting us to laugh, and captures our intimate moments perfectly. On top of that, his base fee covered our entire wedding day timeline (no surprise fees on the day-of) and his editing is top-notch. Our "golden hour" shots on the beach were majestic (we'll never understand how he eliminated all the people walking past us on the beach that day).

We'd highly recommend Nathan to all our friends/family and would love to work with him again for our future family portraits!
