"Natalie is the best out there. My husband and I had two ceremonies (one elopement and a traditional family ceremony), and I loved her work so much that i had her do both. she actually traveled to our elopement destination to shoot our first ceremony in England, and I could have not been more excited and pleased with the results. They were magazine like pictures and we still look at them every day. "

" I'm not sure if my husband and I could be more obsessed with two people! We love the Brays! Natalie has helped SO SO SO much in the 2 years of planning for us by doing our engagement shoot and shooting our wedding and seriously being almost another bridesmaid (thanks girl!). She has such a knack for the romantic/sweet/candid photos you would yearn for from a magazine. She knows how to play with light and color and make you look your best. Parker is HILARIOUS and helps bring the smiles out! we could not be more excited! Thank you both for making our wedding the blast that it was! We love you guys!"

Natalie was absolutely amazing! The way she captures natural light is beautiful, which was what really drew me to her and after speaking with her I knew she was the right fit for us. She is absolutely a gem to work with, so kind and patient and really makes you feel at ease which makes for beautiful photos. She captured the moments perfectly without making the picture feel staged or unnatural. There were a couple of surprise photos she captured of us where I had no idea she was even in the area and are so spontaneous they are some of my favorite. I could not recommend her enough.

"The only way to describe Natalie's photography is stunning. Natalie has been a part of every major occasion in my family's life- she did our engagement photography, wedding photography, took the newborn photos when my first daughter was born and just recently did a family session after my second daughter was born. She is a truly an artist behind the lens! The moments that she captures are amazing- she has the ability to capture both the perfect lighting and the perfect moment! We wouldn't count on anyone else for the most important moments- Natalie is truly one of a kind!!" Mandi and Kirk

info
"Natalie & Parker are a dynamic duo! When my now hubby and I were in the planning stages of our wedding, they were the first vendor we hired. From the second we met Natalie we knew we wanted her to be a part of our big day. Photographers are there right with you throughout the entire wedding day. We wanted people who we felt were our friends, having a good time, and enjoying the moment just as were were. Natalie and Parker did just that! The icing on top is that they were able to capture those special moments in photographs. They are so talented in what they do. Our pictures came out gorgeous! We will forever treasure these pictures and have Natalie and Parker to thank! Amazing couple who truly love what they do!"

FAQ'S
"Natalie and Parker were truly amazing!!! Aside from being such genuinely nice, fun, caring people, they made our whole wedding experience so fun and relaxed on the day. Natalie was so positive and encouraging, and kept us up to date with all the information they needed so we didn't have to think about a thing. It was so fun working with them on the wedding day - they made everything so fun and easy, took absolutely stunning photos, and even gave us a couple of minutes as a couple to eat some of our appetizers alone while doing our couple pictures! We really can't recommend Natalie enough and would do it all over again if we could!"

Process...
We will work closely to ensure you get the best images possible for your celebration.
My goal is the get to know you on a real level, so you feel at ease on the wedding day.
I do not just point and shoot. I curate. I seek. I am constantly searching for the nuances that will make your imagery come alive when you are looking back years later.
We will talk about life, love, and silly things. I TRULY care about my couples and only take on a limited number of celebrations each year, so you receive the best client care possible.

We hired this dynamic duo to shoot and film our wedding on 10/17/15 and so far from our preview photos that came a day later (crazy, right??), we could not be more excited! Thank you both for making our wedding the blast that it was! We love you guys!"
