    Natural Expressions!

    We had Natural Expressions NY as a part of our wedding day, and we could not have made a better decision. From the first call with Frank and Luiza, they helped us create a vision and talk exactly about what we wanted. We actually had the Engagement/Wedding Package, which allowed us to get to know Luiza better before our actual wedding day. Luiza met us in Central Park for our Engagement shoot. On the day of the wedding, we had a last minute change of location that morning, and Luiza and Hermin made that work. They did not miss a beat during the whole wedding, and knew our venue space very well. We are so grateful for the Natural Expressions Team!

    Couldn't recommend more highly!!!

    Frank and his team at Natural Expressions played such a key role in the success of our wedding! We had heard wonderful things about Frank, and upon meeting him for an engagement shoot, knew our expectations were going to be exceeded! He is so warm, kind, professional, organized, and funny, and the photos turned out beautifully! The day of the wedding, Frank was efficient and thoughtful, and brought a sense of levity to the wedding photos that we all needed. Frank is a voice of reason during a potentially stressful process, and we recommend him enthusiastically!!!!

    The best!

    The Natural Expressions NY team is THE BEST of the best! From our very first phone call with Frank and Luiza, we could feel the warmth, care, and pride, that they put into their work. They understood our vision and we knew from the start that they were going to be the most perfect fit. Our wedding day is still a few months away, but we worked with Luiza for our engagement pictures and the whole experience was seamless. Luiza made us feel extremely comfortable, the entire shoot was lively and fun, and the pictures came out so beautifully. Our family members were brought to tears when they saw the pictures for the first time too! Luiza also made our save the dates for us and the quality cannot be beat. We had a hard time choosing what to use as all of the pictures came out better than we could have ever imagined or hoped for. Our guests-to-be cannot speak highly enough of how much they love them! We cannot wait to continue to work with this team on our big day! They are so easy to work with and the quality is absolutely excellent. They are a dream team!

    You need them!

    The Natural Expressions team is hands down the best vendor you’ll ever have for your big day. From the moment we spoke to Frank, we knew he would hit it out of the park, along with Luiza! Frank and his team go above and beyond to beautifully document every step of the way. I also mean that literally - they’ll direct you to places you’ll never think of, you wonder what’s happening and then see the most stunning photos as an end result. For such a hectic day, you need a team that’ll make you feel comfortable and not add an extra layer of stress — Frank and his team were just that. They’re also the funniest people I’ve ever met, so it was great to share many laughs along the way. Frank’s experience is unparalleled and I don’t think we could imagine our special day without him. You need someone you can wholeheartedly trust with documenting this day and we had that with Frank and his team. They’re also a one stop shop! Get video and a social media kiosk! Our guests loved it. We are so thankful to have them for our special day. BOOK THEM!!

    Outdoor Wedding

    After our wedding was postponed due to Covid-19, Frank and his team were extremely helpful in helping us plan an intimate outdoor wedding ceremony. Not only was he easy to work with on postponing, Frank captured every moment of our wedding day perfectly and was extremely creative on such short notice. Frank's attention to detail really makes him one of the best in the industry. We will be using Frank again for our larger reception down the road and would highly recommend Natural Expressions for any classy wedding or affair.

    NYC Wedding - Amazing Photographer

    My husband and I were connected with Frank in 2020. Through a virtual meeting, we instantly vibed with him because he is extremely charismatic and kind. We worked with Frank and his exceptionally talented team for our engagement photos, bridal shower photos, wedding photos and wedding videography. The Natural Expressions team's work is breathtaking and they truly brought our vision to life - honestly better than what we imagined!

    In general, Frank and the team are just fun to work with! They make everyone feel comfortable while taking photos and always lightened the mood. Working with them is a guaranteed fun but professional experience.

    I'd also like to note that the Natural Expressions team always went above and beyond for us... they even created elegant holiday cards using our engagement photos which was such a treat!

    We HIGHLY recommend the Natural Expressions team and cannot wait to work with them again in the future!

    Perfectly Captured our Dream Wedding

    We started conversations with Frank almost one and a half years out from our wedding (COVID-related) and from the very start we felt a connection and comfort with Frank that could not be matched by any of the other photographers we met with. It is really hard to put into words how immaculate Natural Expressions was from the very first conversation all the way through helping us select photos for our wedding album.
    This is a scary decision to select someone to capture your memories FOREVER. The best decision we made was selecting Natural Expressions and having Frank with us on our special day. He perfectly captured every intimate, fun, and unique moment of our wedding. Frank and his team were the epitome of professional and worked so seamlessly with all the important members of our families and bridal party. Our photos and video captured everything so perfectly and we truly feel so lucky to have gone on this journey with Natural Expressions. I would recommend this team to anyone looking for exceptional photos/videos that capture all of your most noteworthy moments.

    Natural Expressions NY's reply:

    Dear Alyssa,
    Hermin, Luiza and I had a great time with you and Jeffrey on your beautiful wedding day. Thank you for your kind words - they mean so much to us!
    Can't wait for you to see your fantastic album design!
    All my best,
    Frank

    Amazing pictures, super nice crew

    Frank and his team not only produced amazing pictures, but were the best team to have around on wedding day. Fun, mix of calm with absolutely being on top of everything, made us feel amazing the whole time. Would hire again in a minute!

    We loved working with Natural Expressions!

    Frank, at Natural Expressions was amazing to work with. From our first meeting, to the wedding, to the making of the album- they were a pleasure to work with. Frank was a great presence to have by our side during the day of the wedding. He was organized and kept everyone calm and comfortable throughout the day. He helped everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. When it came to making the album, he added so many beautiful final touches that made it so beautiful. I love looking at the album to relive such a special day in our lives. I would recommend Natural Expressions to anyone in need of a photographer!!

    Best photographers

    We postponed our wedding three times due to Covid, and Frank and his team supported us every step of the way. They were flexible, communicative, took the time to get to know us, and made us feel so comfortable. Hermin captured our day perfectly. 10/10 recommend Natural Expressions.

    The Best Choice Ever

    We first met with Frank from Natural Expressions back in the summer of 2019 and were immediately connected to his enthusiasm and kind personality. We knew we were in good hands with him and the team. After postponing our big wedding due to Covid, we planned a small minimony on our original date and Natural Expressions was a great addition to our day! They even set up a video conference for our family and friends. Frank and Telmo were extremely accommodating and were there for any and all questions since day 1. Finally we got to have our big day on October 23 AND IT WAS A DREAM! Telmo and his team showed up promptly on time, kept to our tight schedule and were extremely attentive to all our details and LARGE bridal party. We took A LOT of pictures but it never seemed like too much and he always made it fun! They knew exactly where the pictures would look best and how to set everyone up.
    They were with us the whole night until 1 am taking pictures and videos on the dance floor with happiness and passion! It was just he best day ever in big thanks to Natural Expressions! One of the best decisions we have ever made!

    Exceptional Service

    From the moment we started working with Frank, we knew we were in good hands. What we didn't expect was the exceptional service we would receive throughout the wedding planning process. Like many others in 2020, our wedding plans changed due to the pandemic. When we decided to go forward with an intimate ceremony, Frank and his team were enthusiastically with us every step of the way. He pulled in an additional photographer to help us capture more beautiful shots throughout the day, and Luiza has been a dream to work with in preparing our wedding album. At the end of this experience, Frank and his team felt like a part of our family on our wedding day. We are SO grateful that they stuck with us during the uncertainty of planning. Now, we have amazing wedding photos to share the story of our pandemic wedding.

    Very hands on and wonderful experience

    When you are looking for photographers, Frank and Pedro know there stuff. Natural expression came highly recommended. We were on a time constraint for engagement photos and they made it all work and fast!
    For our wedding especially during the pandemic, they walked us through everything in making it a very special day given the limited number of people we were allowed at the venues.
    They are very hands on even with an emotional bride having to make major changes daily with the pandemic to make it all work. From 250 black tie venue in nyc to 14 people for a family wedding at a country setting-they made it work. The photos by far made my husband and I feel they really made the wedding!! Can’t thank them enough for all there hard work.

    Saved our covid wedding

    Our March 15, 2020wedding was essentially canceled the day before at the start of covid lockdowns. Frank and his team made us feel like the day was special. They saved the day. It's the only part of our dream wedding we got to actually have. They we're flexible and accommodating and helped us navigate our wedding day amid the chaos and the unknown. I can guarantee they will make your backyard wedding look beautiful, and create and album and prints that are as wonderful as the original 'plan'. We'd recommend Frank and his team to anyone. Here is a link to an article written about our wedding featuring the photographs from our ad hock, 24 hour notice covid wedding https://jewishstandard.timesofisrael.com/the-newly-little-wedding-that-almost-wasnt/

    Absolutely stunning photography!

    Natural Expressions NY did an AMAZING job - we had the best experience working with Frank and Telmo for photography, and Alex for videography!! My now husband and I knew we wanted to work with Natural Expressions NY for our wedding because they captured my sister and brother in law’s wedding in 2015 so beautifully!!

    We worked with Frank leading up to the wedding, including creating our schedule for the day of. And trust me, I wasn’t easy - I had three separate first looks (with my dad, my bridesmaids and then of course my groom!). Frank and Telmo were our day of photographers and made sure everything ran smoothly and that we stayed on schedule! Frank and Telmo were also extremely fun to work with on our wedding day, and we felt so comfortable with them! The shots were so fun and creative, yet classic!

    The whole team is extremely responsive before and after the wedding, and very easy to work with as well.

    The photos are absolutely stunning and we are so happy with the finished product! I was so elated to receive our beautiful, extremely high quality wedding photos and video - definitely shed many happy tears reliving our day! We love Natural Expressions NY!!

    Amazing Photography Team

    Natural Expressions was a joy to work with.
    Not only is the owner (Frank) wonderful and always looking out for our best interests, but our photographer and videographer team were top notch. We loved Pedro , Jerry, Luiza and Arthur. They were incredible and we can’t thank them enough. The were organized, attentive and ran on time. The entire day went smoothly and they made everyone feel calm and comfortable. They also captured beautiful and amazing footage that we will have forever. We truly had the A team and could not have been happier.

    We LOVED Natural Expressions! Our photographer was Telmo, but we had been meeting with Frank leading up to the event. He told us he would try and come to the wedding prior to the ceremony to take pictures too. We, of course, just thought he was being polite, so it was to my surprise (and delight) that Frank came and took pictures, and stayed through the ceremony. It is truly that personal connection that we loved and appreciated from both Frank and Telmo. They were incredibly easy to work with, and really took their jobs seriously. They are fully aware of the fact that they are the ones creating your long-lasting wedding memories and they 100% succeeded. I cannot say enough about them both. They also made us, and our guests, feel comfortable and had a great time shooting the wedding. We have not received our photos yet but we know they will be amazing!! We would 100% recommend Frank and Telmo for any event.

    THANK YOU, Frank, Telmo and your entire team for doing the most incredible job at our wedding. I'm thrilled that we chose to work together with you! Firstly, the engagement photos are stunning. You were so kind to work with our schedule and meet us in such a short period of time.
    Everything related to photos and video the day of the wedding was managed in such a professional, seamless way. As a small business owner myself, I know that every detail has to be perfect and thought through well in advance. You absolutely had every single detail covered, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy the day that much more!
    Your extremely warm, engaging and upbeat way of being added so much to our special day. If I had to do it all over again, I would not hesitate for one second to hire you all over again!
    We can't wait to see the photos and relive our wedding via the video. I will absolutely be recommending you to others!!

    I just want to say thank you for everything! I know all of the photography is going to be terrific. I thought you and your crew did such a fantastic job! You guys were everywhere but you were not at all intrusive.

    The engagement video is outstanding. You really captured Rebecca and Lloyd’s feelings for each other.

    On a personal note, I am so impressed with your warmth and genuineness, Frank. You radiate a warmth that is very special and very calming. You seem like a truly nice, kind person.

    I will recommend you to everyone. It was a pleasure meeting you and working together.

    Sincerely,
    Ingrid - Mother of the Bride

    COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER EXPERIENCE. Frank- thank you SO much for everything. From our first meeting to wedding day, Frank was easy to work with and responsive and kept us comfortable (and laughing!) Both him and telmo kept everything moving without making us feel pressured or rush. I was so nervous about being awkward and from the very first picture of our engagement shoot, Frank made me feel comfortable. We chose Natural Expressions after he did a friends wedding, they captured all of the shots and best moments in the most natural state, nothing looked posed or forced and we loved that. We can't wait to see our pictures!

    I would definitely recommend this company to any couple! Frank was extremely accommodating to our busy schedules while trying to book our engagement shoot. Telmo shot our wedding and was truly amazing. He made everything run so smoothly and got some stunning shots! Their team dressed and acted professionally the entire night (photographers and videographers). Thank you so much!
