“We could not recommend Natasha more. From the moment we found her, we knew we were in the right hands. She met with us via Zoom regularly leading up to the wedding. Anytime we reached out with a question, she was ready to set up a time to chat and make sure we felt confident and prepared. She had great recommendations, was knowledgable about the area, and sent incredibly helpful bride and groom guides (these even helped us to make some really important decisions that changed the way we planned our wedding day!). Natasha connected with our videographer in advance to make sure they would be on the same page and work well together, which they most definitely did!
Her and her husband, Al, showed up early the day of the wedding and worked together seamlessly. In their company, I felt immediately comfortable to be myself, to make jokes, to go with the flow. Before reading the bride guide provided by Natasha, we were planning to have a first touch but not a first look. After reading Natasha’s thoughts and experience of first looks, we were convinced. Our first look was the perfect moment for us to connect, release our anxieties, and remember the real purpose of the day. We were able to have plenty of space between ourselves and the camera and truly felt like we were alone enjoying the moment. This was one of the major highlights of our day, and the photos show it.
As the day pressed on, Natasha was the perfect photographer and director that we needed. I had asked that she feel comfortable to be as bossy as necessary to capture the perfect pictures. I had experiences before where I ended up hating my positioning, posture, or the distance between people in wedding photos. She handled this job with grace and the perfect amount of discipline. Everyone listened to her, and the fun, joking energy continued. During our ceremony, I was able to release any stiffness and be myself. We had the least stiff ceremony I’ve ever attended, and it was a true representation of who we are and the love we share. I believe this was due to our comfort level provided by the photography team of Natasha and Al, as well as the relationship she established from the start with our videography team. It didn’t feel like we were being watched by extra “staff”, they felt like they were meant to be there. And honestly, I could barely tell they were there half the time! During the ceremony, I had no idea they were getting the shots and angles they captured! While I awaited the photo album, I honestly thought we were going to be missing some of the angles I had dreamt of because I never saw them taking them. As soon as I saw the album I was SHOCKED to see that they had been there all along, capturing my husband's face as he cried for my entry, capturing the guest’s reactions, capturing it all.
If you are considering hiring Natasha, please stop hesitating and book her. You will NOT regret it. In fact, as soon as you reach out to chat with her, you will feel at ease, in the best hands you could be in, and like considering anyone else would be a mistake. From speaking to her on our consult call, chatting leading up to the day to create a perfect day of schedule, working with her the day of our wedding, and spending a stunning sunrise capturing our love once again, we were in awe at her professionalism, ability to feel like a friend, and STUNNING end product.
