Beyond special

Working with Natalia was easily one of the best decisions we made! In the face of uncertainty (i.e. a postponed wedding and a global pandemic) Natalia's calm, kind energy was so helpful. On our wedding day, she put everyone at ease and captured so many special moments. Looking back through the photos she took brings back all the emotions of our day, and every time I go back through them I feel so loved up and amazing. If you are looking for a photographer, I would HIGHLY recommend Natalia -- she struck just the right balance between getting the formal shots we wanted and the spontaneous moments that cropped up on the day. I feel like I could run out of words trying to explain how happy I was that we went with her. Beyond the normal, capture-the-wedding type shots, she seemed to have a sixth sense for the subtle, tender moments everyone always secretly wishes will get caught on camera. I now have pictures of my best friend's reaction to when her son was brought up in our vows, my sister making everyone cry with her maid-of-honor speech, and a few couples sharing private milestones of their own that there's no way Natalia could have known were going on. How she knew to point her camera there I have no clue, but I'm so grateful. She captured my husband and I, but also all our loved ones with such care and respect, and somehow made us all look gorgeous and glossy, but still just like ourselves. In our pictures, you can see just how much she really understood our vibe and vision, and she captured and elevated it to beyond what I had even imagined. Do your future self a favor and book her if you can!! You will be so happy you did.

The best experience imaginable

Some people are just the best at what they do - Natalia is one of those people. From the day we booked her for our wedding photography, to our engagement photos, to our wedding day and the album we received, Natalia was responsive, fun, and incredibly skilled. Even though it was our first meeting, she made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera (which I didn't know was possible) and provided us with the most beautiful shots I could have imagined. Seriously, we are still blown away looking at them almost 2 years later. Fast forward a year to our wedding day, and it was like catching up with a friend. She was the *ultimate* hype woman the entire day, which is such a blessing when you're a bit camera shy and have pre-wedding jitters like we did. Our groomsmen and bridesmaids were so impressed by how quickly she got through all of our portraits and have told us repeatedly how fun she was to work with. Every single one of our family members have (unprompted) commented on how lovely she was to interact with during on our wedding day, and how amazing the photos came out. She was such a trooper and managed to get 30+ family members in a group shot. She captured every moment of the day - from sentimental to silly and everything in between. She also was on top of every situation - during our ceremony a thunderstorm started rolling across the bay. She quickly had us switch plans and take our portraits right after family photos so we get them in before the storm hit. We are so grateful to Natalia for being such a wonderful person, capturing an incredibly special time in our lives, and giving us photos we can cherish for a lifetime. Thank you!

Gorgeous and Fun

Natalia was the absolute best for our wedding day! We felt so comfortable to be ourselves, which was huge as we are both pretty camera shy. She took so many beautiful photos and even got a bunch of sneak peaks back to us the next day! Everyone at the wedding kept saying how fantastic she was. She understood what type of style we wanted and executed it gorgeously, even recommended a fantastic idea for our first look photos and got all our formal photos in before our ceremony so we could enjoy the night with our guests. Cannot recommend her enough and hope to work with her again in the future!!

As an officiant...

As a wedding officiant, I feel compelled to write about Natalia of Provencher Photography. I love to watch her work at weddings. She is lovely to be around and she moves quietly, cheerfully and professionally; forming friendly bonds with brides, grooms and all the other personalities at a wedding. She catches the moments everyone sees just beautifully. But there's also the cherished images she alone finds - she has a delightful eye. I have lots of photos of myself at the altar, but its the ones by Natalia that I use on social media. Because she captures the me I want the world to see and she'll do the same for you.

Out of this world!

Natalia is NEXT TO NONE! She came recommended by a co-worker and I never looked back! She was quick to respond, funny, and so sweet aside from the INCREDIBLE work she does. Words could never capture the gratitude and thankfulness I feel towards Natalia for being such a special part of our day, and capturing our personalities and love. Not only did she work to make our day special and personalized she checked on me throughout the day to make sure I was okay! Truly a blessing to work with her, you won’t regret it!

Talented, kind, and the sweetest soul

Do not hesitate in booking Natalia for your photos! If you are looking for someone who appreciates walks in the woods, golden hour lighting, and celebrating love, you should absolutely hire Natalia. My husband and I said so many times before, during, and after our wedding that booking Natalia was the best decision. Not only is she incredibly talented, but Natalia is kind and will bring a calming presence to your wedding day, while also keeping you on schedule. Our wedding party said Natalia was the best "hype woman" and made everyone feel calm and confident on such a busy day. We are so fortunate to have amazing photos to look back on and cannot say enough good things about working with Natalia!

Stop looking for photographers and just hire Natalia

Based on her photos alone, Natalia is fantastic and absolutely worth hiring. She put us in the best spots to make us look great and every photo we got back was spectacular. But what we really loved about her was how comfortable she made us feel while shooting. Being photographed doesn’t exactly come natural to either of us, but Natalia made us laugh, put us at ease and made us look fantastic. It was honestly like hanging out with a friend — and that friend takes stunning photos of you. Natalia is truly an amazing photographer and even more amazing human being — you can’t go wrong with her.

Amazing in every way

Natalia is amazing, plain and simple. We initially fell in love with her work. She has such a keen eye and beautiful aesthetic. However, when we met her, we also totally fell in love with her as a person. She exudes positive vibes and that is exactly what you want surrounding you on your wedding day! We love every single moment that she was able to capture -- from the intimate ones between my husband and I to the fun, dynamic ones of our guests enjoying themselves. I love that we get to have and enjoy these photos for the rest of our lives and I love even more that Natalia was the one capturing it all.

Natalia! Wow!

My husband & I met Natalia originally to just do our engagement photos because our wedding vendor provided a photographer. We were completely blown away by her skill, sense of humor, & willing for adventure to take our photos, so we knew that she needed to be our wedding photographer as well. Natalia feels more like a family member than she does a vendor, she’s funny, easy to talk with, & makes everyone feel so comfortable. Our wedding pictures are everything we ever dreamed of & more, perfectly capturing our love, our wedding mood & the vibe we wanted. Natalia, we’re forever grateful for these photos & will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️ We can’t wait to book you for more photos in the future and highly recommend Natalia to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. We’re literally speechless at Natalia’s raw talent ✨
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
