About Nathan Rivers Chesky Photography & Film
Nathan Rivers Chesky Photography & Film
Hi! My name is Nathan Rivers Chesky and I am a wedding storyteller. For over a decade I have captured weddings as a photographer, director, and cinematic videographer. I have traveled the world as a photographer and film maker documenting the genuine beauty of this world in portraits, moments, and real interactions. My team and I have found our place telling the unique story of every couple through photography and video with our specific balance of direction and creating the space for real moments for you to be who you are.
My work encapsulates what it feels like to be there with authenticity and an honest glow. There is special balance holding the space for you to be you while being equal parts director and documentarian. Creating beautiful scenes and moments and allowing them to play out naturally. The focus is to create vibrant and lasting imagery and memories in a most candid and uniquely creative atmosphere for you and your love.

The Best Wedding Photographer and Videographer!
We had him for both photo AND video. So happy we did. From the moment he arrived, he brought such a fun, energetic, and creative vibe that put everyone at ease. Nathan captured every special moment beautifully—our photos are absolutely stunning, and the highlight video brought tears to our eyes. He truly has an eye for detail and storytelling, and his creativity shines through in every shot. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he’s also a joy to work with—professional, personable, and so much fun. If you're looking for someone to capture your big day perfectly, Nathan is your guy. Highly recommend!
Our Photographer felt like part of our family!
Nathan! We love you. You made our wedding day feel so comfortable and exciting all at once. And now, looking back on our album ( and bonus highlight video!!! ) we get to relive all of it over and over and over. And we have! So many times! The best photographer and video we could imagine :) 100 stars!!!!!
Blown away!!
We cannot recommend Nathan highly enough! From the very first meeting, his positive energy and passion for his art were absolutely contagious. Nathan immediately put us at ease with his warm, friendly demeanor and made the entire process such a joy. Before we even saw the final results he brought such positivity and enthusiasm, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, including some camera-shy family members. Nathan felt like an extension of our family and wedding party, seamlessly blending in while still managing to capture everything. We are forever grateful!
Nathan was our dream photographer!
By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.
