Virginia Wedding Photographer, Artist, & Storyteller
AWARD-WINNING WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN CENTRAL, VIRGINIA
I’m Natalie, a Virginia wedding photographer based in Charlottesville and Richmond.
I believe in capturing the well-thought-out details that represent your wedding vision, but more importantly, the moments with your friends and family members to cherish. I create images of your moments, details, and your loved ones through the eye of an artist. My unique background extends beyond photography and into conceptual painting, glass-bowing sculpting, video, and more.
You can typically find me photographing exquisite weddings in the rolling hills of Virginia. When I’m not photographing love stories, you can find me with my husband -chasing our toddler, Luca, around the house, dreaming up our next trip, creating a new recipe in the kitchen, exploring new restaurants around town, and traveling worldwide.
Additionally; I pride myself in being one of a small handful of Richmond, VA wedding photographers who are formally trained, as well as self-taught—earning a BFA in Photography & Film from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Arts.
My photography style is a unqiue blend
of editorial and documentary,
creating a timeless and elegant look
to be cherished for a lifetime.

I was formally trained at VCU
While I have over 10 years of self-taught experience on top of my degree, I earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography & Film in the heart of Virginia - Virginia Commonwealth University School of Arts. This experience taught me a variety of artistic techniques that I apply in my personal work, as well as when I photograph luxury events. I pride myself in being one of a small handful of wedding photographers who are self & formally trained! My background includes so much more than photography and extends to sculpting, painting, glassblowing, video, and more!

I'm a newlywed myself!
Being a newlywed helps me have a deeper understanding of wedding days than I could have had before. My husband, Brian, and I had our intimate day two years ago in Middleburg, Virginia with just 17 family members. My husband's old soul mixed with his gentle heart and outgoing personality, that fills my world with a lifetime of laughter, tear-jerking words, and awe-inspiring adventure, is irreplaceable. The most genuine friend to everyone he knows. My sweetest soul, my forever dinner date -- always supportive, compassionate, empathetic, and the most hilarious travel buddy that I could ask for.

I am a mama to our little guy, Luca & our sweet girl, Alora!
Constantly adapting to Luca and Alora's changing needs requires similar needs to a wedding day: on-the-spot problem-solving, communicating, and time management! Luca and Alora have been one of the biggest joys of our life, and being his mama is the most rewarding title I've had the privilege of having. Watching Luca and Alora grow and achieve milestones has brought a sense of joy and pride to my heart that I had never experienced before. I cherish every moment with my babies.
