    Excellent Photographer and much more

    We would highly recommend Natalie. She was so much more than a photographer. We had the parents and Bride and Groom in (3) time zones. Natalie offered (2) suggested timelines from the ceremony thru the Bride & Groom's departure. We kept her timeline thru the entire process. Knowing the venue, she made suggestions for lighting and decor to ensure her photographs would capture the moments. The portraits of the Bride and Groom were gorgeous. She provided thousands of the ceremony and reception that if you click quickly, it is almost a real life capture. She was patient and a little ball of energy. Highly recommend!

    Stress-free Experience

    Natalie was simply a pleasure to work with. After our original photographer canceled our contract, Natalie was prompt, responsive, and experienced. We hired her in August 2023 for our November 2023 wedding. She provided detailed instructions and timeline for our day. She provided example galleries to help make decisions regarding locations for bridal portraits/engagement photos. She delivered online galleries within quoted timelines, even throughout the holiday season. Natalie was very experienced with working with our venue, the Kitty Hawk Pier House, and knew all the right angles to get the perfect shot. I loved that our online wedding gallery was divided into the different aspects of the day (i.e., getting ready, first look, bridal party, ceremony, family photos, and reception). It made viewing the photos for the first time so fun and easy to navigate for purchasing prints and albums. I would highly recommend Natalie for any of your photography needs if you enjoy a bright, airy, and natural style of editing. She was laid back, easy going, and made sure we got all the photos we were wanting to capture to look back on of our special day.

    Best photographer ever!

    Natalie was amazing! She was so accommodating to us on our wedding day made our day smooth sailing! She made everyone feel so comfortable, but she was so professional at the same time and we all really appreciated it. Weddings can be so stressful and Natalie and her team helped so much and we’re forever thankful! We can’t wait to use her in the future!

    Amazing and perfect day

    We are so happy with our pictures! So beautiful! Natalie was so easy to work with. Gave great guidance and got so many pictures we weren't even aware of. It was so wonderful to relive the day through the pictures.

    So beautiful

    Natalie did the pictures for my son and new daughter-in-law’s wedding on the beach in the Outer Banks. It was a beautiful day and her pictures were phenomenal. Every angle and the lighting and just the natural happiness that she was able to capture even in the informal pictures was sure really great. I would highly recommend her for any event.

    our photos are phenomenal!!

    Natalie was absolutely amazing to work with! We can both be a bit awkward and camera shy at times. Natalie helps you feel relaxed and comfortable and knows the best spots and poses to help capture you both beautifully and authentically. After we saw our engagement photos, we had no doubt that our wedding photos would turn out amazing as well. Natalie also assisted with some last minute wedding day logistics. We had no idea where we wanted to do our first look photos but she helped us find the perfect spot. And when we were in a bit of a time crunch before the guests arrived, she still managed to get some amazing pictures while making sure I got safely hidden away in time! We would definitely use Natalie again for any photos in the future and highly recommend her if you are getting married in the Outer Banks!

    Simply the Best!!

    Natalie was an absolute dream to work with! From the moment we reached out, she was responsive, helpful, and compassionate. Her pictures are absolutely stunning as well! She has a natural talent/eye for photography and made us feel so comfortable throughout our big day. On top of everything she does, she was a tremendous help with developing the timeline of the day and helped ease the stresses of planning a wedding from 3,000 miles away.

    We appreciate all you did for us, Natalie, and can't wait to cherish your beautiful photos for a lifetime! Thank you for everything!!

    Stunning photos with so many compliments

    I could not be more thrilled with the experience we had with Natalie. When planning our wedding, photos were one of the most important aspects to me. I was immediately attracted to Natalie's photos soft lighting and artistic flair. We used her for both our engagement shoot and wedding day and all the photos turned out stunning. She gave so many photos options that we have so many favorites, and seeing as we are not the most photogenic couple was something we worried about. Not only are the photos beautiful, Natalie is a treat to work with. Her nature is so calming and she truly captured our love in a stunning way. She also gave plenty of pose suggestions but was also open to our "must haves" which gave a ton of variety. I have zero regrets about Natalie and am excited to use her for family photos in the future.

    Thank you Natalie!!

    Natalie was fantastic to work with! I was immediately attracted to her "soft lighting" style when looking at her portfolio. My husband and I utilized her for our engagement and wedding photos and both sets turned out gorgeous. She was a great communicator, organized, and offered sample timelines and suggestions on how to make the most of your photo session(s) (she sent us a whole packet!). The only problem I have is choosing photos for a photo album as there are so many great ones! She worked with many of my vendors that I selected and all were incredibly happy when I mentioned she was my photographer. Great to work with - cannot recommend enough.

    Natalie is incredible!

    We are so happy that we chose Natalie to capture our engagement and small wedding ceremony photos. She was very responsive, knowledgeable, and easy going. We had a beautiful wedding day, and now we have beautiful photos to show for it- thanks to Natalie. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She was great to work with and very accommodating for all our wants and needs.

    Natalie is the one!

    Natalie's landscape photography and soft lighting edits are what attracted me in the beginning. With these skills, I knew she would be able to capture beautiful photos of our bride/groom portraits and our wedding in general. They turned out absolutely gorgeous.

    Personally & professionally, Natalie is very calm and efficient - seriously the best combo of a personality type that you could ever want as a photographer. My Dad even told me: "You never knew she was there but she got it all done". She was also extremely flexible and stayed a little later than originally planned because the schedule moved a little slower than we intended. She even helped coordinate parts of our night with our DJ because my wedding coordinator wasn't able to make it last minute due to Covid.

    Natalie really went out of her way to make our day magical, and we couldn't have done it without her. Thanks, Natalie!

    Natalie is fantastic!

    Natalie was fantastic in every way. From the start, she was extremely responsive, professional, and organized. Planning my wedding from states away I was anxious. Natalie went above and beyond to make sure my wedding went smoothly. (Sent an amazing guide with tips for timelines and best picture opportunities). Not only did she make us feel comfortable on our big day - but her pictures turned out absolutely stunning. 100% recommend Natalie!

    Organized*Individualized*Informative

    Natalie knows photography and makes your visions come to life! I found her Instagram page and fell in love with the light and airy feel of her photos. From our very first email exchange to the finished project she has been organized, accommodating to all my ideas/wishes, and so informative about the wedding timeline and recommendations for the best pictures. Our wedding pictures even came back sooner than her anticipated date. Thank you!

    An absolute yes!

    AMAZING. Natalie was great to work with. She did an engagement shoot as well as our wedding. Natalie knew exactly what we wanted. Even though we live in New Jersey, through phone calls and email, it was coordinated perfectly. The final photos are fantastic. We couldn't love them more. Thank you, Natalie for capturing our special day!!

    So grateful...

    From the first phone call with Natalie, I knew I would have no worries. She was able to tune into exactly what I wanted for my little family beach wedding without me even being able to verbalize it! Formal photos, fun photos, romantic photos, silly photos: all amazing. There is not an adjective powerful enough to describe how incredible the pictures turned out! I would implore anyone looking to hire a photographer to use Natalie. There is no way you will be disappointed! Thank you Natalie!!!

    Cannot Recommend Enough!

    TLDR; Natalie was a fantastic choice and we couldn't be happier. Choosing a vendor without meeting them in person can be tough, especially for destination weddings, but Natalie is awesome and made the process a breeze!

    We had one of the dreaded COVID weddings - but Natalie was a huge help through the process. She was responsive and flexible when we had to make the difficult decision to postpone our wedding. Once we were back on track, she was communicative and helpful in terms of getting our plans sorted, even providing a very clear guide for our friend who was officiating to help put her at ease. Natalie set very clear guidelines in terms of what she needed from us to make the day go smoothly and then was able to be flexible during our wedding day when we decided to changes things at the last moment.

    The photos themselves - fantastic quality photos, she captured the spirit of the day terrifically and caught our guests in the best action shots. She managed to cover almost all aspects of the day, despite all the things happening that day! Our digital files arrived on a beautiful wooden thumb-drive, which was such a lovely touch, and her online gallery made it easy for our family members to order prints of their favorite shots. We are so glad we worked with Natalie and highly recommend her.

    Romantic Beach Photography

    Natalie is seriously the best! She captures the love between two people beautifully, with a romantic and sweet vibe. In person, she’s awesome and very experienced - she will tell you how to pose and what to do to capture those phenomenal photos! We were blessed to have Natalie do our engagement photos, our wedding photos, and soon to come our maternity photos. She’s definitely a photographer you will keep coming back to time and time again for life’s precious moments! She’s responsive and a great communicator! She worked with us with postponing our covid wedding 3 times and for that we cannot thank her enough! Highly recommend - if you’re contemplating, go for it! You won’t be disappointed!

    Perfect in every way!

    Natalie was everything we could’ve hoped for. Her work speaks for itself, she is an absolute artist, our photos are gorgeous! But even beyond that is her personality. She was easy to work with, calm cool and collected, positive, encouraging, and patient. We were so well cared for, she put us at ease and worked well with others. The turn-around time and the organization of the photos were perfect. We were so lucky to have found her!

    Captured our dream day!

    When looking for a photographer to capture our engagement photos and later our wedding photos, Natalie's work instantly grabbed my attention because of her natural, "light and airy" feel. Her expertise, kindness, communication, attention to detail, and flexibility made her an absolute joy to work with and there was no one else I trusted with capturing our special day and all of its moments! The photos exceeded all of my expectations and I feel so blessed to have had her there - her work is truly the best and she even helped me navigate the schedule the day of with ease and kept us all on time. We are still getting compliments from our family and friends at how amazing the shots are that she took. Thank you Natalie for all that you did for us and being a part of our big day - we will cherish these incredible photographs forever!!!

    Gorgeous photos!

    We knew when we saw Natalie's work that we had to have her as our wedding day photographer. She is knowledgeable, super organized and so fun and easy to work with. All of our photos are absolutely stunning. She made sure that she knew exactly what we wanted for our photos and made sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. She got our photos back to us quickly and we can't stop gushing over them.
