    Stop your search now! Dana & Nate are the best!

    I don't have the words to explain my adoration and appreciation for Dana & Nate. They photographed our November '21 wedding in Palm Springs, as well as our engagement photos in Los Angeles, and went above and beyond at every opportunity. Although wedding season has been especially busy this year they made us feel as if we were the only bride and groom on their schedule. They are punctual, detail oriented, thoughtful, and TALENTED. They brought love and light to every moment of our special day and kept our unruly wedding party on schedule all day long! You spend A LOT of time with your photographers the day of your wedding and being with Dana and Nate was like being with our best friends, stylists, and planner - all in one. They kept us calm, tamed every stray hair - even changed my shoes when I couldn't bend down in my dress! haha Leading up to the wedding they responded to every question and concern - and were so unbelievably patient when we changed the venue for our engagement photos about 17 times. If you're considering them for your wedding - or for any photo needs really -please don't look any further. Dana & Nate are the best of the best out there.

    We LOVE Dana & Nate. Best Experience

    We were lucky to find Dana & Nate to capture our special day. From the moment we met them, we felt as if we were hanging out with friends. They have a delightful and cheerful presence that makes it obvious they enjoy what they do. You see the love in every shot. Whether it's traditional posed or candid, they have a great eye for light, location and timing. They were able to seamlessly incorporate our mountainside venue that showcased the beautiful views of Palm Springs and the valley. They also used the stunning flowering gardens as a natural backdrop to complement the spectacular views. They took incredible pictures without us ever knowing they were there. There are lots of choices when it comes to wedding photographers, but we can say with confidence that you will be glad you chose Dana & Nate.

    You can stop your search!!

    WOW - There’s no better word to describe these incredible photographers. Nate and Dana were incredible from start to finish. They shot our engagement photos months before the wedding and made us feel so comfortable with something that we were honestly not excited about. And it ended up being SO much fun!! This helped make our big day go smoothly, as we felt like they were friends. Nate and Dana were kind, flexible, and direct as they guided us through the day, making sure that they got every shot we wanted. They left shortly before the party ended, and get this - we had fifteen beautiful preview photos texted to us before we even left the venue!!! How great is that! We can’t say enough about these people. Would give 6 stars if we could.

    Amazing photographers

    There are so many words that could describe Dana and Nate’s amazing photography skills. They made our wedding shoot feel so natural and fun that you couldn’t help but seeing how happy we were in our pictures. Which I must add, we had a couple dozen sent to us within an hour of the reception being over and was able to share the sneak peeks with our family and friends right away. Their ability to capture beautiful moments is something special and we couldn’t be happier to have had the privilege to have them document our wedding. Thank you again for making us so comfortable and we can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures

    All the LOVE for Dana & Nate

    Dana and Nate are the absolute BEST!! We received multiple recommendations from wedding planners, florists, and other vendors in the wedding industry saying how amazing they are to work with. After one phone conversation with Dana as well as browsing their website, I was sold on working with them. The best way to describe them is professional yet down-to-earth, romantic yet playful, creative, capable, timeless, and honest. They captured the essence of our wedding day PERFECTLY. We got married in a logistically complicated location with the possibility of multiple things not going to plan, however, Dana and Nate were un-phased by the potential challenges and made the most of the beautiful landscape. We could not be happier with how our photographs turned out and will cherish them always. I honestly couldn't say enough amazing things about Lovers of Love. I would recommend them 100000x over. Even my sister, who is a few years younger, after seeing our wedding photos said she will book them for her wedding AS SOON AS she gets engaged :)

    100% satisfied with their service

    I’m so amazed by all the pictures Dana and Nathan took for my wedding and amazed every time I look at all the pictures. They were not only Photographers! They also assisted us with the getting ready part and shared their knowledge and ideas for wedding planning. Dana did so much for me and made me feel calmed down when I was getting nervous about last minute wedding issues. I would rehired them over and over. They are very professional and fun too.

    Literal perfection.

    OK. Honestly, I’ve waited a while to write this (almost a year….SORRY!!!!) because it’s been super daunting to me. And that’s because IT’S SO HARD TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE TWO.

    Literally, every person under the sun will tell you “the most important vendor for your wedding day is X” … and unless they say photographer, they’re legit wrong. We had pretty much everything go wrong on our wedding day, including the fact that the cops showed up and shut down the entire thing. I’m not kidding. We were dancing our first dance to “God Only Knows” and literally the cops came because a neighbor complained the music was too loud (it was the correct decibel according to Palm Springs laws, and we had a permit from the city). ANYWAY THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT.

    It really could have just straight-up ruined the day. But seriously, Nate and Dana kind of rocked our worlds and made everything just so ok and great that it. was. fine. My most present memories of the day were hanging out with both of them (seriously, you’ll spend the most time in the day with your photographers, so it’s super important that you feel comfortable with them …and if you’re obsessed with them that’s an added bonus haha). Not only that but, I cannot express enough how much I treasure and LOVE the photos they took. They’re next level.

    We live on the east coast but have family in CA and I plan to reach out to Nate and Dana every year for photos. Also, they have super cute kids and are really funny and real and just cool. They’re the people you meet once and want to be friends with forever.

    I love them, I love our photos and if you’re at all on the fence about who to pick for your wedding day hopefully this helps you to make the right choice.

    Photographers

    Dana and Nate are THE best photographers and people in general.. hands down!
    First off, they are easy to communicate with whether it’s in the initial set up of everything or in person during the fun stuff. They are detail oriented in the most amazing ways and it shows in their work - which is stunning to say the least!
    We have gotten to work with them 3 times and each time was a blast, each time they got photos back to us quickly, and each time we fell in love with 100 photos of ourselves (they made us vain at no extra charge).
    Our wedding day of course was the cherry on top, we felt so happy to have the both of them help guide us thru our day and capture every special moment! They truly have blessed us with so many memories :)
    Can’t wait for our next season of photos!

    Photographers and Friends!

    When we were planning our wedding we were SO NERVOUS about finding a photographer. We are very awkward and nervous in front of a camera. We wanted someone who would somehow be able to make us feel comfortable and capture all of those small intimate moments at our wedding. The second we FaceTimed with Nate and Dana all of our nerves were gone! They were so easy going and relaxed and immediately felt like old friends!!! We LOVED all of our photos and were so happy to have them be a part of our big day. I seriously need to have another event so I can work with them again!! They are truly the best and I recommend them to everyone I know!!!!!

    The best in the business!

    Dana and Nate are the BEST! Where do I begin... over the last six years they have shot our engagement, our wedding, maternity photos, the birth of our first son and most recently newborn photos of our second son; along with every shoot you can think of in between. They make us feel comfortable and actually make taking photos FUN! I have referred them to so many friends for weddings, family shoots & everyone has become a repeat customer. They are true professionals and so much fun to work with! They are our go to photographers for every moment that needs to be captured in our lives! They even found out the gender of our first born before we did, they are THAT AWESOME!!! I have so many priceless photos of our biggest moments in life that I will cherish FOREVER thanks to the Lovers of Love!

    I had first worked with Dana and Nate in 2012 for my college graduation pictures. I had such a great experience with them that they were the first photographers I thought of for my engagement and wedding photos (just got married Sept 2016 in San Diego). Sure enough, they more than delivered on expectations. It is clear they have the passion and the talent for photography. Working with them both is so great because they both bring a unique perspective and deliver such dynamic interesting photos. They made my husband and I feel comfortable starting from the planning experience to the engagement photos and on our wedding day. After hearing my preferences on an engagement shoot location they recommended a place that was perfect to match my love of nature with some simple elegant features. They recommended we consider the "first glance" and had us research a bit about it before we decided...best decision we could've made! To have such an intimate moment with your husband in your wedding day is amazing and I thank Dana and Nate for this idea and the beautiful candid photos they took to help us capture the moment. Ultimately I would highly recommend Dana and Nate to anyone looking for an event photographer. You get TWO super talented photographers for a price you can't beat!

    I don\'t even know where to begin to explain how amazing Lovers of Love Photography is! We are so lucky to have such amazing photos taken by them. They captured our proposal, engagement session and our wedding. What we love about them is how comfortable we are around them, which is so important since they’ll be up close and personal with you all day long on one of your most important days! They are so fun and friendly and care SO SO much about what they are doing. They take their work very seriously and always have a vision for their photography. It makes such a difference when your photographers are passionate about their work and your photos, and genuinely care about capturing the best possible photos for our day. They are so professional and make sure everything you want is taken care of. They make sure they know where your priorities are for your big day so nothing you want or had in mind for photos is missed, on top of all their ideas. I can\'t even begin to explain how extremely creative they are! They each have an eye for different things, so every single detail about your day is captured, from the standstills to the quick facial expression they noticed and capture. There were SO many amazing photos taken in such a creative way, and we were blown away by their work. Lovers of Love truly know how to capture all of your special moments and they are able to help tell your story through their photos. Their photos have such a clear yet soft look about them. We are forever grateful for the amazing photos they gave us and will cherish them for a lifetime. I truly cannot say enough good things about them... Booking with Lovers of Love is a MUST!

    Dana & Nate are incredible photographers, as wells incredible humans! We felt so comfortable with Nate & Dana during our engagement photos, that we couldn't wait to see them again at our wedding. They are organized and professional, while finding a way to fit in with our families. Our friends and family have been talking non-stop about the photo teasers that we've received. We are beyond impressed and can't wait to find a reason to see them again.

    I am so happy that we found Lovers of Love to photograph our wedding in August! Seriously, one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. Finding the right photographer was one of the hardest parts of planning a wedding and once we found Nate and Dana, the husband and wife team behind Lovers of Love, it really was love at first sight. Seriously, they are so talented, so open-minded to our crazy idea of doing a rock climbing engagement photo session, and so incredible at photographing a super multicultural wedding (Iranian- Italian- Arabic- American). They are professional, responsible, fun, kind, and down-to-earth people. The second we met them, we felt like we had known them forever, and you really want someone that knows and cares about you to photograph your wedding. They visited our wedding venue TWO times to check out the different sites and the lighting during different times of the day. They looked up Persian wedding traditions in preparation. They were on time and stayed until the way end capturing every important second of our day. Hiring them was the best decision ever and as two people who looked really hard to find the right photographer for our wedding, trust us when we say you will love love love them.

    Dana and Nate are incredible, as wedding photographers and as people. What makes them so special is their authenticity and attention to detail. On top of that, they are the ultimate creatives: they do a ton of homework before meeting you so that beautiful, spontaneous moments can happen within the realm of what you're looking for. And don't sweat it if you're worried about looking awkward on camera. The day we met them for engagement photos, my wife and I walked down the beach in SD, engaging in some light conversation -- and before we knew it, the humor and ease with which they carried themselves took over, as we felt extremely comfortable doing anything they asked of us. Prepare yourself for a smooth journey with Lovers and Love; it'll be one of the funnest rides of your life.

    I am not sure where to even begin... Dana and Nate are one of a kind. Before I got married I had recommended Lovers of Love to many of my friends all who have been more than pleased with their work. So with that said when we got engaged in Africa we emailed them asap (from Kenya) to reserve them for our future wedding. Of course I did what every bride does and I looked for hours and hours at photography blogs, read photographers bios, looked what each one offered and Lovers of Love was hands down our first choice. Lovers of Love are so professional yet so fun to work with. My husband (Bryce) and I are so lucky to have had them by our side the day of our wedding capturing every moment. Bryce is not a photo fanatic like I am so when we received our photos and he was happy with every one I was shocked which is a direct result of Dana and Nate’s professionalism and experience. On the wedding day where were times where we didn't even feel like they were around us but then when we received our photos they captured everything including the moments we had forgotten. I am VERY picky and set in my ways and had a very specific vision for how I wanted my wedding photography to turn out but Nate and Dana went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. I received over 1,000 photos of my wedding day and every single one is so packed with emotion, I am currently having all 1,000+ printed. Their attention to detail and ability to capture the perfect candid shot is truly a gift that makes them so talented. When my father saw a photo of my husband and I running through sparklers he said, “This is unlike any wedding sparkler photo I have ever seen, it’s so unique & really captures the whole day so well, that photo alone is worth what you paid your photographers.” If you are reading this and on the fence about who your wedding photographer should be Lovers of Love will exceed all your expectations! ☺

    Nate and Dana are the best humans on the planet! We could not have chosen more talented photographers or more wonderful people to capture our special day! They are absolutely lovely to work with and go above and beyond to be accommodating to the couples needs. We had a blast at our engagement shoot and they completely understood who we are as a couple on that day, and our wedding day. Though they are based in San Diego, they traveled to LA for our engagement shoot and Palm Springs for our wedding day. They are friendly, patient, flexible and incredibly talented. We are so lucky to have found them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect wedding photos.

    We got married this past September in La Jolla and chose Lovers of Love as our photographer. A friend of a friend had recommended them and we loved their style when we checked out their site. When it came time to start choosing a photographer we had it narrowed down to around 5 and we set up a Skype call with Dana and Nate. The call went really well! Nate and Dana were a lot of fun and we hit it off right away and decided that they were the ones. Leading up to the wedding I made a Pinterest board of photos that I liked and then we had a call to discuss any 'must have' shots and first look at romantics locations. They were very organized which I appreciated and I felt that they got the 'look' we were going for. The day of the wedding it was high tide and we were running behind (not their fault) so we had to change a few things last minute which I was nervous about but everything ended up working out great.We absolutely LOVE our pictures. They were fun to be around and helped us out a lot with last minute fire drills. They are both very professional and know what they are doing as far as planning lighting and back drops and listening to what you want. If you want pictures that are creative and unique, choose them hands down! Thank you Dana and Nate!!!!!

    Nate and Dana were amazing! They were so quick and professional and came up with many interesting shots that I just adore. I can't imagine wedding photographers that could have put us any more at ease and they were just so happy and excited the whole time, it was fantastic. Leading up to the event they made sure to keep in touch, updating shot lists and just letting us know they were still ready to go for our big day. They even drove us to the desert to take some amazing shots post-ceremony and got us back to the party in a flash. They were also an amazing value compared to some of the other photographers we considered. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!!!

    Initially, my husband and I were taken by the quality and beauty of Nate and Dana’s photography. After having a fun and amazing engagement session with them and then having them shoot our wedding, we have fallen in love with their up-beat, fun, and professional attitude. Out of all of our vendors, Nate and Dana were not only a breeze to be around, they were able to lighten the situation when I was feeling nervous. They have a great eye and wonderful suggestions. When I first met with them, I was hesitant about spending time to do posed photos. They said they would be happy with whatever we chose to do, but recommended doing a first look and bridal party pictures before the wedding. I am SO happy I listened to their advice. These photos turned out amazing, and having the first look with my husband was a very special moment. They work very hard and are willing to go above and beyond. Also, they are very collaborative and are happy to listen to suggestions, which again made them our favorite people to work with at our wedding! We have received countless compliments on our photos and we truly feel that Dana and Nate captured the true vibe of our day!

    Lovers of Love Photography did an amazing job capturing our September vineyard wedding in Los Olivos (yes, they travel!). They were recommended by our videographer, and I couldn't be happier to have found them. I was a little nervous hiring a photography team I wouldn't meet in person until the wedding day, but walking into the venue and seeing Dana ready to snap away with a big smile on her face erased any concerns I had. Dana and Nate are an incredible team. They take beautiful photographs with the perfect blend of artistry and technique. They make you feel like you've known them for years. By the end of the cocktail hour, I wanted to invite them to sit at our table with us.

    There are many great photographers out there, but Lovers of Love Photography was the perfect choice for us. Their rates were competitive (and much more reasonable than others in our area - even with a travel fee), their work is spectacular, and they are a great team. I felt completely taken care of and at ease on our wedding day - just what every bride hopes for. I knew that the photographs would be gorgeous, and they surpassed my expectations.

    Other than your spouse, photographs are the only tangible things you will take with you from your wedding day. I highly recommend entrusting Lovers of Love to photograph your special day and capture your wedding story.

    Nate and Dana captured our wedding exactly how I wanted to remember it. They truly have an amazing gift! I knew from the first photo I viewed on their website that they were a perfect fit. Dana and Nate have the ability to capture the most intimate of moments in such a beautiful way. Thank you for making time stand still on one of the most important days I will ever have in my life!

    First and foremost I would like to thank Nathan and Dana for their amazing work. They really captured our special day through photography and brought it to life. Their professionalism and expertise really showed in the quality of their photos. The wedding process can be stressful as it is but honestly having Nathan and Dana around taking pictures in a natural fun setting really took the stress away and we were able to have fun and enjoy the process. I would highly recommend their services for not just a wedding but for any occasion. Their website is only a hint of their AMAZING work! My husband and I are 100% satisfied and pleased with the services provided and we will definitely be hiring them again in the near future! Thank you Nathan and Dana, we can't thank you enough!!

    Our big day was beautifully captured by this amazing photography duo!!!! From the moment we met with Dana & Nate of Lovers of Love, we were confident that we were making the very BEST decision to book them as our wedding photographers.

    Our first meeting felt like they were old friends of ours and yet their level of professionalism and responsiveness was unmatched by any other vendor we worked with. Their fun-loving and warm personalities made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We also loved how thorough they were in making sure every detail of our big day was captured.

    Not only do Dana and Nate have an incredible eye for photography, but their editing skills make the photos even more artfully stunning. We have received countless compliments on our engagement and wedding photos. Our photos came rather quickly after our wedding, which is also a huge plus! We couldn't have made a better choice for wedding photography! We would recommend Lovers of Love a million times over and over again to anyone looking for an incredibly talented, fun, thoughtful and professional wedding photography team.

    What a jackpot we hit finding these two! Not only were our wedding pictures beautiful and unique, but working with Dana and Nate was an absolute pleasure. True professionals and artists. They push themselves creatively to come up with poses, props, and styles that are both original and suit your personality and style. And they are just so darn cute and friendly, that you feel totally comfortable and never awkward as you’re taking pictures. Then you leave thinking "how do I become best friends with them after this?” If you are reading this trying to decide on photographers, your search is over. Dana and Nate are amazing and truly are the real deal! Our wedding could not have been captured more beautifully.

    We are so glad we chose Nate and Dana to photograph our wedding. They had such amazing can-do attitudes, and struck a good balance of directing everyone without ever being intrusive. They thoughtfully captured everything from the big events of the night to the private sweet moments. The photos are beautiful!!!!!!

    Dana & Nate were incredible to work with! Both are warm, personable and professional. They were quick to respond to our needs, provided a ton of great insight and suggestions and went above and beyond on the day of. They worked with us to provide a lot of value and still stay within our budget. While we had many 'vendors' on our day of, Dana and Nate never felt like one - instead they fit right in like family. We never had to worry about them or manage them. They were organized, prepared and a super team overall. They took some incredible photos (both planned and candid) of us and our friends and family. We consistently brag about our awesome experience working with them and memories they helped us capture.

    Christopher and I would like to take this time to thank Dana and Nate Dorn of Lovers of Love Photography for both their excitement for our special day, and their amazing work capturing the love we share. I have personally known Dana for 12 years and thought of no one else shooting my wedding when we got engaged. I had the privilege of meeting Nate for the first time at our engagement session, and it was no surprise to me that he had the same fun, energetic, outgoing and extremely contagious spirit as Dana, for both life and photography.
    Our wedding day was an absolute blast, no doubt the best day of our lives, none of which would have been possible without our dear friends by our side to capture our most memorable moments. Some of my favorite attributes of Lovers of Love Photography include their eagerness to showcase your beautiful moments through their lens, how their vibrant personalities work with one another to blend into the wedding party, which helps to create a relaxing environment for the bridal party, as well as, their ability to tell your love story as it unfolds by capturing amazing candid photos. Dana and Nate, thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for being who you are and for the outstanding quality of work that you do/produce.

    We could not have been more thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos by Lovers of Love Photography. Dana and Nate were awesome to work with! We were a little on the nervous side, as neither one of us care to have our picture taken, but Dana and Nate put us right as ease and we actually ENJOYED ourselves! We received great shots from both our engagement session and our wedding. Our pictures are beautiful, creative, and artistic without being weird or boring. Dana and Nate are consummate professionals to boot! We will definitely be using Dana and Nate for our future photography needs. So to recap: 1) Awesome people with great attitudes. 2) They put us at ease and made us comfortable in front of the camera. 3) Beautiful, creative, and artistic photos. 4) Consummate professionals. Only question is: What are you waiting for?!?!

    We don’t even know where to begin on thanking Nathan and Dana for every single thing they did throughout our engagement and wedding! We feel like we could fill a book with all of the great feedback my husband and I have for Lovers of Love Photography!!! They are both true artists in all essence of the term. We cannot express in words just how appreciative we are for all of their efforts throughout our wedding process. There isn't another person or company who comes close to their caliber of technique. We confidently recommend Lovers of Love as your wedding day photographers and promise they will capture nothing less than perfection on your special day!

    Dana and Nate are the ultimate photography duo! They are creative, energetic, and friendly people. Together they listen to what style you are looking for and use their own creativity to photograph stunning images. You can tell that they work hard to develop the perfect composition and show you in the best light. These two are so easy to love, and they always make you feel comfortable and confident while shooting you. I would recommend them to everyone to use for any photography needs!

    This couple is bomb! They were fantastic to work with! They are so fun and they have degrees in portraiture so they really know what they are doing! They produce such great quality photos, and they are really quick in editing them, probably because they are already so great! They are reasonable with your time and they keep you updated on the timeline they have for your wedding, etc. Seriously, best vendor for our wedding! So fun!

    All we have to say is we love Lovers of Love (LOL)!!! What's not to love about them? Choosing LOL for our engagement and wedding photos was one the best choices we made. Having the right photographers was a big deal for us. And LOL were the perfect photographers for us! My husband and I are so impressed with Nate and Dana, a super fun married couple! We could tell they were in love with each other and this carries over into their work!!! So awesome! They really love people and love what they do, we had so much fun with them.

    They exceeded our expectations above and beyond our concept of wedding photographers. Not to mention, they are very professional with personalized attention to detail and will make sure they give you the best photos. We are amazed at their talent both artistically and technically. We cannot help but to look through our photos over and over again! We are so happy that we will have timeless and gorgeous photos for years to come!

    We are happy to give them a FIVE Star recommendation for all of their services and products. They are the best you can get amongst wedding photographers.

    We absolutely love Lovers of Love! As soon as we saw their portfolio & stalked their instagram, we knew that we loved their style but we needed to make sure that we'd love them too. As we are a lesbian couple it was important for us to find someone who respected our relationship but was also excited to photograph us. As soon as we Skyped to meet (we live in the UK) we knew straight away that they were the right photographers for us, & we weren't wrong! We had a blast during our engagement shoot & received the most amazing images. We had our trust fully in Dana & Nate at our wedding and our photographs are stunning. We wish we lived closer to book in frequent photoshoots!

    Dana & Nate were so much fun to work with!! It's not everyday that you are in a photo shoot, and their warmth and good humor really allowed my husband and I to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
