Beginning my journey in the world of filmmaking, I initially delved into the realms of music videos and commercials, honing my craft in storytelling and visual artistry. However, it was a serendipitous opportunity to work as a cameraman at a wedding that unveiled my true passion. Now, with 9 years under my belt and hundreds of weddings captured, my love for crafting heartfelt wedding photographs continues to grow, reaching couples across the nation.

We help outdoorsy lovers get married in beautiful outdoor venues provided by Mother Nature herself.

And we document it all with stunning, bold, crystal clear photographs that are a reverie both in nature and love.

When My Wiiiiife and I hired Natural Unions, we expected photography. What we Didn't expect was light wedding planning, the ability for The Great Kira: Destroyer of Frowns to be able to help us locate an alternative wedding venue on short notice due to potential weather issues, AND for such exceptional local scouting for the most fantastic locations not only for portraits, but also the ceremony location itself. If you want the same boring overpriced stuff, hire someone else. If you want more fun than you bargained for, and unique lasting snapshots of your special day, hire Natural Unions.

  • Serves Occidental, CA

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Occidental, CA

As your wedding photographer, a significant part of my role is to consider the fine art aspects of the galleries I create. Things like choosing the best light to fall over your wedding gown, balancing compositions, blending color, and layering textures to create dynamic and beautiful images. But it's much bigger than that. Photographs tell our stories, reveal emotion in ways that words can't, and offer the gift of visual legacy. An artfully told story transcends time. Beautiful photographs require exceptional artists. And you deserve exceptional art.

Choosing a wedding photographer is no small decision, especially when it comes to preserving the memories of your special day. We were fortunate to have found Eduardo and his team for our wedding in Mexico, and they exceeded our expectations. From the start, Eduardo was incredibly professional. He took the time to meet with us multiple times before the wedding, ensuring he understood our vision and preferences. His attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our specific requests put us at ease, knowing that our day would be captured just as we imagined. During the wedding, Eduardo and his team were discreet yet omnipresent, capturing the natural flow of events without intruding on the intimate moments, which was particularly important to us. Eduardo also had a swift turnaround. Within two months, we received our stunning photos and video, surpassing our contract's expectations.

The most consistent feedback I get from my couples is that I put them at ease. Almost everyone is uncomfortable in front of the camera, but that’s why I’m there — to help you look and feel great creating memories. Your wedding photographer is in your personal space on one of the most emotional days of your life - make sure the person in your corner is someone who adds to the joy on your day. With me, you get someone who can go with the flow, has your back, and seamlessly adapts to the energy in the room.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve been married once before and absolutely hated my first wedding photos so I was hesitant to hire a photographer. But when Jen showed up, she was extremely professional and super kind. She asked all the right questions before and on the wedding day and I fully trusted her to be able to do our pictures. When we got all of our photos back I was beyond ecstatic to see how well they turned out. She definitely captured us so well and the feel we wanted.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us. He was absolutely amazing and did a great job collaborating with our other vendors and coordinating logistics and timing of what we wanted to have done.

Dominic is a true gem! My fiance, (now husband) and I are timid in front of the camera but Dominic was able to capture the best of us anyways. We first did an engagement shoot with him where he braved the storms and wind with us to complete some amazing photos. He was able to make us feel so comfortable and capture all the right moments to bring to life our love on film. Shooting at the wedding was even more incredible. On a day that is already hectic and full of nerves, Dominic brought the calm and the fun as we shot all our photos throughout the night. His patience, humor, creativity, and amazing eye made the experience absolutely wonderful! I can't recommend him enough! HIRE HIM!

She even helped to clean up a stain on my dress when something was spilled during our getting ready photos! Kelly is great to work with. She's quick to reply and her systems are modern and easy to use. It was simple to pay. Her website for photos is great and it was easy to review our photos and share them with family and friends. We also got a huge preview of photos just a few weeks after our Nov wedding, in time to order a holiday card on a Black Friday Sale and order some family gifts!

Photographing weddings has truly been my dream job, and I feel so honored every time I'm invited to capture intimate moments in peoples’ lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittney is EVERYTHING. She shot my sister’s shore wedding and delivered such gorgeous photos, we knew we needed her for our wedding! We were married in Punta Cana and Brittney made all the photography/destination logistics SO EASY. Looking at our photos, you would have no idea that Brittney only saw the location the day before our wedding. She captured the beach location perfectly. But where Brittney truly sets herself apart from other photographers is in her ability to capture candid moments. Looking through our wedding album is so emotional because the photos perfectly reflect how everyone was feeling throughout the day. And finally, I cannot write a review that captures her skill without mentioning her as a person. Brittney is kind, fun, and sensitive. She has such a calm presence during your wedding that she disappears into the background (this is how she is able to capture so many candid moments). Since my wedding, she has continued to be a thoughtful friend who is always down for a coffee date. I love Brittney. Hiring her was the single most important decision I made for my wedding!

My name is Connie and I have been shooting weddings and portraits for over 15years. The goal for me is to give my client an heirloom of their wedding day to pass down to generations to come. As a young kid, I remember staring at my parents black and white wedding photos for a long time. It captivated me. I am very lucky to have those memories and that is what I want for my clients. I love capturing beautiful imagery through posing, beautiful light and when there isn't light, I like to create it. I can be a goof ball capturing the unexpected filled laughter. Come look at my work, and hopefully we can connect.

Connie was so awesome to work with! Leading up to the wedding she was easy to communicate with and always responded to my emails quickly. When my wedding day rolled around she was at the venue on time and got to work. She was patient with everything going on, she had an assistant as well that was great! I told Connie that I was worried about taking pictures because I never considered myself photogenic, she told me not to worry. She did a great job! The pictures turned out beautiful! I love them! Now the hard part is choosing which ones to print.

Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

2.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Occidental, CA

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

Hello All! I'm Steph... A wife of almost 15yrs to the love of my life, a mommy to 4 wonderful kiddos, and a very passionate photographer that absolutely loves to capture life's most memorable moments! Elopements and weddings are my favorite to capture, they are life's greatest and most special moments that a couple will share together. These moments will be remembered for the rest of the couple's life, their love and commitment to one another, and embracing their future life together. Capturing those moments for each couple to look back at, and re-live those special memories, brings me such happiness.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Steph Liz Photography for both a Styled Photoshoot and Brand Photos for my Wedding Planning Business! Steph communicated quickly and effectively, showed up on time and had a great eye for photography. We got amazing photos for both shoots (a styled shoot is kind of like a fake wedding complete with a Wedding Couple, venue, etc.) Steph delivered the sneak peeks within a few days and the complete album quickly. I feel confident recommending her for any photography needs (especially Weddings! She took great photos for our Styled Shoot and really captured the vision for the day!). Highly recommend!

Julio brings a great energy to the wedding festivities. I was a bit nervous being the center spotlight in photos and his fun/calm demeanor made our photos fun and feel like a breeze AND they turned out amazing! I asked for Julio to capture the party and everyone having a great time and he did just that. It is so fun to look back on the photos and feel like I'm there again :) He was very easy to coordinate with and overall a delight to work with. My sister-in-law ended up having Julio come to her vow renewal and was also amazed at how all of the photos turned out. He is basically part of the family at this point! Cannot say enough nice things.
