Magical Wedding
Where do I begin with Nathan Bell. He is a phenomenal photographer and human being! Our journey began in Oct 2023 with our Engagement photos which were perfect. He made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable. Then Oct 18, 2024 was our Magical Day! Nathan captured all of the amazing moments of our special day. He was professional, on time, and so personable to everyone. Everyone loved him! When he sent us a sneak peek, WE were OBSESSED 😍 He definitely outdid himself!! Every photo taken was intentional and expressed the magic of our big day. A month later we received our wedding photo album…. WOW is all we could say!! We were speechless to say the least. I highly recommend Richard Bell Photography….. I interviewed several photographers, and he made my husband and I feel very comfortable at our first meeting. Hands DOWN the Greatest photographer!! Nathan and Mel have a special place in our hearts 💞 we will forever be grateful!! Thank you 😊
