I want to emphasize how grateful we are for Christian & Emilio at Natura Collective, who did the most gorgeous and unique photography for our engagement and our wedding (we also did a video for our wedding which we haven't seen yet but are very confident it will be incredible). It took us a while to find photographers/videographers who had portfolios we loved and were affordable. Additionally, as a queer couple, we felt it was important to hire queer (or queer-friendly) vendors, so we were really excited and proud to support Natura Collective.

Christian and Emilio are very personable and easy to get along with. Their process of figuring out what we wanted and communicating our preferences was straightforward and seamless. The preview gallery we have is dreamy; they delivered beyond what we were looking for, and when I look at the pictures, I feel like I'm transported right back to our wedding night, which I'm already feeling sentimental about because it's over. Thank you!!!! Book them!!!! You will not regret it.

Natura Collective did our wedding photography and videography in January 2024 -- as well as our engagement shoot -- and we could not be happier with the process or with the final products. They knocked it out of the park! Photos were a particular concern of ours because one of us is more-than-a-little averse to having her photo taken… and Christian and Emilio were so sweet, patient, and understanding of this throughout the entire process. From the very beginning with our engagement shoot and onto the wedding, they exceeded our expectations in terms of setting a comfortable, inclusive, and non-awkward environment, which made all the difference for us. They also managed to wrangle huge and rambunctious families together for great shots and they were also just a joy to be around, making the whole day more fun, relaxed, and festive than it would have been without them. They’re stellar professionals and stellar people, and we feel genuinely lucky that we got to work with them. Especially notably, we got the sneak peak of our photos from them a mere TWO DAYS (!!) after our wedding – which was absolutely bonkers but SO appreciated: As we were coming down from the high of the wedding, getting to relive the day through their beautiful photos was extra appreciated. Our friends and family have raved about the photos and about how wonderful they were to work with. Definitely book them – we can’t recommend them highly enough and are SO grateful to have gotten to work with them!

NaturaCollective did our engagement, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception photos/wedding reception video. Over the three years of working with them, we became friends. They were the first vendor we booked, and they set the tone for a positive wedding experience right from the start. Aside from their professionalism and beautiful edits, their energy made our family and friends feel excited for photos to arrive and we still enjoy visiting our old photos.

Christian and his team were an absolute joy to work with and were worth every penny. Working with them was so easy. They were so calm and professional throughout our wedding day, which unfortunately was met with some inclement weather, but that didn't phase them one bit, and the way they handled themselves brought ease to everybody. Our wedding album preview was fantastic and we're so excited to see the full album + video!!

Unbeatable photos, communication, professionalism, and vibes. Christian and Emilio have a knack of making you feel like you’ve known them for years, and will make your shoot feel incredibly natural. We hired Natura for a wedding in the Catskills and they threw in an engagement shoot as well. Emilio was brilliant—he seemed to be everywhere, capturing incredible details from the night. He has a magnificent eye—his photos will transport you back to the event. Quick turnaround on edits and galleries with lots of communication on timeline. One of our guests was already asking for their info to pass onto a friend before they even saw the pics—that’s just how good the vibes are.

Christian and Emilio are amazing (and I do not say that lightly). In the middle of a very busy life, as busy as NYC life can get, we needed great partnerships (let’s not call it “vendors”). We needed partners that would be professional, responsive, reliable, patient and kind. Natura Collective checked these boxes from the very beginning. They respected and creatively added to what we envisioned and wanted, they helped us to feel comfortable in front of a camera, they were incredibly kind with our family members who did not speak English or are disabled. Can’t wait for more big moments in our lives that deserve a photo shoot, we will be working with Christian and Emilio for as long as they will have us!

I loved working with Christian! He is SO creative, kind, thoughtful and I genuinely just really enjoyed the process of working with him. He brought the best energy to our wedding and was so excited to be there, which felt so great on our end. We really appreciated how he handled the pandemic; he protected our date and made sure he could be at our wedding and it meant the world to us. And then, of course, the photos are AMAZING. Like stunning. I would recommend Christian and Natura Collective far and wide!!! Adore them!

We had the pleasure of working with Emilio during our engagement photo session and with Christian and Max during our wedding day. They were all phenomenal to work with. They gave great direction and the pictures were all beautiful. Absolutely no regrets choosing them and would recommend them to anyone.

Wow! where to begin? To all the individuals out there who are perfectionists, detail-oriented and planners, let me tell you: this is it, the photographers you need to book! I'll be honest: One of the things that I was most concerned about while planning a wedding was picking the right photographers! After all, those memories will be forever immortalized in those images! We hired Natura Collective for several reasons: from the moment we connected with Christian, we knew we wanted to hire them! Every FaceTime call, email and session was an experience, not a transaction!! During our engagement session, both Christian and Emilio were super professional and caring. They cared about the type of photos we were looking for and were super flexible to accommodate locations, dates and times. Our wedding date us set for next year and we cannot wait for them to capture our big day!

Christian & Emilio were absolutely amazing. Photography was such an important part of our day & I was so excited to have them capture our day on photo and video. They came in with the most positive attitude & totally alleviated my stress! They truly focused on us and the shots and moments that were important to us. They helped us pose & feel comfortable while taking pictures and we had so much fun shooting with them! They never made us feel rushed and really let us take our time even if we were totally running behind schedule. They went above & beyond to get the hanging dress shots & throwing veil shots and even sitting on the bar shots I wanted :). They even helped to do a bunch of family group shots during the reception. Our preview photos came out absolutely beautiful & I cannot wait to get back the rest of our photos & videos. For the best day of our lives I am so glad to have Christian & Emilio be a part of my day and shoot all the photos & videos for us to keep forever. Christian & Emilio are just the sweetest most fun photographers ever & you will be so happy to hire them!
