Wedding Photographer, Artist, & Storyteller
AWARD-WINNING WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
BASED IN Washington State
with roots in Virginia, California, Washington D.C. and destination locations worldwide
I’m Natalie, a destination wedding photographer based in Washington State. 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. Through the eye of an artist, I create images that celebrate the beauty of your day, weaving together moments, details, and the connections that make your story truly unforgettable.
My artistic journey extends far beyond photography. With a background in conceptual painting, glass-blowing sculpture, videography, and more, my work is deeply influenced by a rich and diverse creative foundation. This unique perspective allows me to approach each wedding as a work of art, blending technical precision with heartfelt storytelling.
You’ll often find me photographing exquisite weddings in the mountains of Washington, the sun-drenched beaches of California, or the rolling hills of Virginia. When I’m not photographing love stories, you can find me with my husband -chasing our two toddlers, Luca and Alora, around the house, dreaming up our next trip, dreaming up our next adventure, experimenting with recipes in the kitchen, or exploring new restaurants and destinations around the globe.
As one of the few wedding photographers with a formal fine arts education, I’m proud to bring both professional training and self-taught experience to my craft. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography & Film from the renowned Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts—a distinction that shapes my meticulous approach to creating elevated, heirloom-quality imagery for my clients.
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
In addition to over 10 years of self-taught experience, I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography & Film from the prestigious Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. This formal education, earned in the heart of Virginia, provided me with a wealth of artistic techniques that I incorporate into both my personal work and the luxury events I photograph. I take pride in being one of the few wedding photographers who are both self-taught and formally trained. My creative background extends far beyond photography and includes sculpting, painting, glassblowing, videography, and more, all of which influence my unique approach to crafting elevated, timeless imagery.

Marriage is deeply important to me
Being married has given me a profound appreciation for the meaning behind a wedding day. My husband, Brian, and I celebrated our own intimate wedding two years ago in Middleburg, Virginia, surrounded by just 17 of our closest family members. That day remains one of the most cherished moments of my life—a reminder of the love, joy, and connection that weddings are truly about. This personal experience gives me a deeper understanding of the emotions, relationships, and memories that make each wedding so special. It’s this understanding that helps me connect with my couples and capture their day with the care and intention it deserves.

I am a mama to our little guy, Luca & our sweet girl, Alora!
Being a parent to Luca and Alora has not only been one of the greatest joys of my life but also a transformative experience that has shaped how I approach my work as a wedding photographer. Constantly adapting to their ever-changing needs has taught me invaluable skills like on-the-spot problem-solving, clear communication, and seamless time management—qualities that are just as essential on a wedding day. This perspective has given me a deeper appreciation for the fleeting, meaningful moments in life—the kind I aim to capture for my clients. Whether it’s the look exchanged during a first dance or a quiet moment between loved ones, I strive to preserve the emotions and connections that make your wedding day truly unforgettable.
