    Professional and great to work with!

    From the moment that we met Natalie in Maui we were immediately put at ease and fell in love with her and her style! She captured everything that we wanted to remember on our wedding day perfectly! My only regret is that we didn't have her longer! Natalie went above and beyond in making us feel at ease with our photos and added zero stress to the process. I look back on the album and I'm in awe of how perfectly she captured the day and I'm brought right back to the time and place :)

    Amazing wedding photographer!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Natalie. She was so relaxed and enjoyable to be around on our wedding day. She was also very efficient and got all our family photos done before cocktail hour (and we had lots of shots to take!) We just got our official photos and they are stunning! I would highly recommend working with her.

    Natalie Brown Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Liz! Your wedding was gorgeous! It was a dream to photograph your day and share in your happiness!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Natalie did an exceptionally amazing job photographing our Maui Indian wedding. So professional, talented, and comfortable to work with. I can't recommend her enough!

    We received our "sneak peek" photos and they are absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see them all!

    Thank you, thank you!

    Amazing photos and incredibly nice person!

    Natalie was our wedding photographer, and we could not recommend her highly enough! Not only was she an incredibly nice person that was easy to be around (very important when they are around you throughout your wedding day), but she was also super professional and got all of the amazing shots that we asked for!!! The shots from the day that we have seen so far have been absolutely amazing, and more than we could've ever hoped for.

    Our wedding also ran a bit longer than anticipated, and she stayed longer to get more photographs of the different points throughout the night. She clearly cares so much about her job and making sure that you have the shots needed to capture all of the amazing moments of your wedding. We can't thank you enough Natalie!

    Natalie photographed our wedding on Maui and we could not be happier with the results. We were in contact a few times prior to the wedding and she was able to get a feel for what we wanted. She guided us through the process, which was super helpful because we were coming from California. She was knowledgable about the different beaches and helped with the timing of our ceremony. Afterwards, we were able to download the high quality, edited images. We were blown away with the results. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for great photography!

    One of the first things that really stood out to us about Natalie was her beautiful website!!! We loved that she had a video about herself that showed us her sweet personality and we could definitely see how much she loves what she does. It didn't take us long to know that she is who we wanted to capture our special day.
    Prior to our actual wedding date, we were able to visit Maui and Natalie was available to take our engagement photos. We gave her a little insight about us and the type of couple we are. She recommended the perfect beach to meet her at and even a spot for dinner afterwards. Once we actually met her, we loved her instantly. I will admit that it took us a second to warm up to the camera being on us, but Natalie made us feel so comfortable. We are not the couple that has perfect smiles on cue, and most of our best pics are candids. Natalie did an EXCELLENT job at capturing these for us. After a short while, we didn't even feel like we were on a shoot, but rather just having fun with each other. Not once did she make us feel pressured on time, and she took sooo many pictures. Even as we were getting ready to part ways, she stopped us for a last minute picture that she couldn't pass up. We were blown away by the amount of amazing photos she captured. She definitely knows how to get the best of the natural lighting and capturing our personalities. We can't wait to have Natalie with us on our wedding day (4/26/18) and would recommend her for any occasion. You will be in great hands and have THE best pictures!

    Natalie exceeded our unrealistically high expectations. :)
    Getting professional photos taken can be nerve racking and awkward. Natalie has a warmth about her that instantly put us at ease, as if we'd known her for years. Even my bridesmaids commented that they'd love to get to know her better because she was so lovely. This unique ability to disarm people with honest, authenticity is priceless. Combine that with her professionalism, knowledge of photography and pure talent... and she was able to capture the most natural, most beautiful photos. We were blown away. The only downfall: She doesn't live in New York, where I could hire her all the time!

    No need to choose any other photographer on Maui; Natalie is THE best. From the moment she arrived to our cottage, she created the most amazing shots. She made sure to include any special shots we had wanted, and can do a variety of great looking images. She is very warm and friendly, and you can tell she loves what she does on this beautiful island; all of our guests loved her. Her photos are incredible! I would recommend her to anyone wanting a fantastic experience on their wedding day and photos you will be thrilled with forever.

    Natalie Brown Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Annie! It was such a pleasure being there to see your beautiful wedding day! I hope you've been enjoying being newlyweds! Aloha!

    My husband and I had a destination wedding in Maui, and we found Natalie online and loved all her pictures! Since we are from Oregon we did not get a chance to meet Natalie until the day of the wedding, which did make me a little uneasy because you never know! But Natalie was great! She was very personable, friendly and kind. She made the "getting ready" pictures very comfortable. After the ceremony my husband and I did some pictures on the beach, and instead of just taking them where we had planned, Natalie commented that she did not like all the people, fishing poles and other distracting things in the background; she recommended that we walk through this rocky path to a more secluded beach. It was not a super easy walk in heels and a wedding dress but boy was it worth it! We are so happy Natalie did not settle on the location and wanted to make our pictures perfect for us! She was great! We just got back some preview pictures from our wedding day and I cannot wait to see more! They look absolutely amazing! Also, our wedding guests all commented on how much they liked Natalie and how nice she was!

    We also added a second shooter to capture our ceremony and help get groomsman pictures before the wedding. Since we did not do "first look" pictures we had ALL the pictures after which put us on a tighter timeline. Adding the second shooter was perfect! And even without a second shooter, I think Natalie was more than worth the cost. I am glad we spent the money for amazing pictures that'll last a lifetime!

    We took a leap of faith by booking her via email, but boy did it pay off! My husband and I would recommend Natalie in a heart beat!

    Natalie Brown was our photographer for our Maui wedding and she was amazing! My husband and I were fortunate enough to travel to Maui about 7 months before our wedding on a scouting trip. We met with several photographers, and felt instantly connected with Natalie. We really liked her style and meeting with her totally put us at ease. We emailed a few different times leading up to the wedding and Natalie had a questionnaire for us that I think was very helpful to us in explaining our vision for our wedding photos. She also asked for a link to my pinterest board, which I loved as it showed she really wanted to dig in and see what styles I liked and to get to know me a little bit more. On the wedding day itself, Natalie was professional and fun. My husband and I are not used to taking photos like this, but Natalie did a great job in directing us. After a short bit, we became more relaxed and the photo process started to feel more natural. And just a couple days after the wedding, Natalie provided us with our sneak peak pics which were amazing! And a few weeks later all of our photos were ready, I couldn't believe how fast her turnaround was! Our photos were just amazing and I can't thank Natalie enough for what a wonderful job she did. I am so glad we went with her as our wedding photographer and I definitely recommend her services!!

    Natalie Brown Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much! I loved your wedding and enjoyed every minute with you both. Congratulations! : )

    Natalie is amazing! We hired her as our wedding photographer in Maui. I had never been to Maui before and I was acting as my own wedding planner. Natalie was able to provide me with lots of insight about the island, ceremony locations, and even restaurants! She took extreme care in working with me and was so helpful in many more aspects other than photography. She really stood out to me, my fiancé, and both of our families for her professionalism and excellence.

    On my wedding day, I was pretty scattered brained (as most brides are). I couldn't even remember or think about what types of photos I wanted. But Natalie knew exactly what moments to capture because she had been keeping an eye on my wedding board on Pinterest. I absolutely loved working with her! I have only seen the sneak peak photos so far, but I can tell we got a great value and excellent service for every dollar we spent.

    I will 100% recommend her to friends/families/and others looking for a photographer in Maui

    Since we did a destination wedding, we never met Natalie until the wedding day. I must admit, this made me a little nervous, but the minute we met her, my husband and I instantly felt comfortable.

    My husband is not a fan of taking photos and Natalie had a natural ease that made him feel comfortable (and even maybe have a little fun!). She did a variety of candid shots as well as posed. I didn't even realize she was walking around us during the entire ceremony to capture the perfect moments.

    We just received ALL of our photos, and they are AMAZING. She captured the beautiful moments of the day and many moments that we had forgotten about. I highly recommend Natalie to capture all of the moments of your big day.

    Natalie is amazing! Even from the beginning when we started communicating through email, she was so warm and friendly. I asked her a ton of questions regarding the wedding photography process and what to expect at our venue (since we aren't local). She was so detailed in explaining everything and was flexible with working around our wedding schedule.

    Being a very Type A person myself, I went through her gorgeous portfolio beforehand and let her know what resonated the most with us. We just got married last week, so we don't have all our photos yet, but she sent us a sneak peek of 35 photos just 4 days after the wedding and she nailed it by capturing special moments and beautiful details.

    The day of the wedding, she was right on time and snapping away. We had her for 8 hours and her lovely assistant Angie joined for part of that time. They were a great team. Multiple guests told us after the wedding how wonderful they were and how it was clear they were making sure all the guests were accounted for.

    Throughout the day, she was so polite and understanding, suggesting times to take 'romantics' but flexible with timing if we wanted to mingle with our guests. She really has an eye for beauty as she was able to find beautiful poses in our stunning setting at Sugarman Estate.

    What I really appreciate is that she truly went above and beyond. This woman was 5 months pregnant and that didn't stop her from zipping around taking photos, and even at one point, laying on the dance floor to take a crowd shot. She is so committed. She also pulled us aside and said that since she knew how much photography meant to us, she wanted to try some special time lapse stuff. We haven't seen those yet but I loved that she was so proactive.

    Of all the hundreds of decisions we made for our wedding, choosing Natalie was one of the best, hands down. We adore her work and cannot wait to see the full set of wedding photos. Of which she said there are about 800! Cannot wait!

    Natalie is absolutely the best photographer you could ever hope to find! She did our engagement photos as well and we were so happy with them, there was no doubt that we wanted her at our wedding! She has amazing natural talent at getting the perfect photo, and is so sweet and fun to be around, too! Her creativity and artistic eye coupled with phenomenal skill behind the camera leaves us with only one problem: trying to pick which ones to hang on our wall out of hundreds of fantastic shots!

    But why can't I give six stars? Ten stars? That's what I would give Natalie Brown, if only it would let me.
    My fiancé and I were planning an announced elopement-- getting married in Hawaii and honeymooning there, but everyone knows about it. I didn't know what dress I wanted, or what "look" I was going for-- but the one thing I knew is, I wanted the photography to be GREAT. We weren't having guests at our wedding so we needed the pictures to be outstanding. I had the highest budget for it, and thanks to an art school education, I was pretty particular about the look I wanted. Plenty of companies have photography "add ons" to their officiant packages-- no offense to them but I wanted a real professional. Someone who knew photography and loved it. I found that in Natalie.
    I booked everything with her well in advance (I would die if I couldn't have her do our wedding photography) and she was nothing but communicative and helpful throughout the booking process. As for the shoot, we couldn't ask for a sweeter person to work with. She was on time and knew exactly how to make the most of the space we had in our condo and on the grounds. Not only that but within a few days, she sent us a sneak peek of our shoot-- I am sitting here trying to think of a word that describes our photos but can't! They're gorgeous, perfect, amazing, beautiful....everything. Thank you Natalie for capturing the most beautiful moment of our lives!

    I found Natalie Brown over the web From 5,000 miles away! Got married in Maui! She listened and delivered more than I expected. Her photos captured our day and her work is "AMAZING"!
    Very professional and timely. I just can't say enough great things about her skills and our beautiful wedding photos we will cherish for lifetime!

    Natalie and her assistant were absolutely amazing! They were there for 4 hours and captured so many great moments, everyone that saw our pictures had great things to say about them, most of their first response's were "WOW". I liked that she captured a lot of unstaged moments, looking back through pictures she got a lot of shots of candid moments with friends and family that turned out great. She also made sure to ask if there were any other must have photos we wanted before she left for the night, which was very thoughtful.

    Getting a contract signed and working with her before the wedding was also very easy, and she was always available to answer questions we had.

    I would highly recommend Natalie for photography, her pictures are incredible and she is such a sweet person! Many of the people at our wedding commented on how nice our photographer was, we couldnt have picked a better photographer for our wedding!

    First let me say that I am a pro wedding photographer, Natalie's pictures were amazing! She was great to work with from the very beginning and her images of my day are simple stunning!

    She was so easy to work with from day one. The wedding she was so calm and easy, she guided us through with no stress and I can't say enough great things about the pictures they are just magical.

    Natalie was our photographer and she was absolutely amazing. We're from Australia and it can be hard choosing a photographer at the best of times without having met them. We met Natalie on the day of our wedding and she was just so lovely and personable, both my husband and I instantly felt comfortable and relaxed and it genuinely shows in our photos. The photos she took were better than I could have imagined. She took so many beautiful romantic shots and plenty of candid shots which I loved. It rained fairly heavily when we were about to go and have our photos taken and Natalie came up with a few ideas with an umbrella and they are my favourite photos of all. Natalie and her assistant were easy going, got along well with our guests and just made everyone feel so relaxed. She really caught the relaxed and happy mood of the day.
    Natalie provided a 'sneak peek' of photos within about 3-4 days and we had access to the website of all our photos within a few weeks.
    My husband and I highly recommend Natalie Brown.
