The story of your wedding day goes beyond beautiful decor, perfect poses, and curated details.
It's about the two of you, the love of your family and friends,
and the community you've invited to celebrate with you.
I capture images that tell that story.
Hey there~
I’M NATALIE
A DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN PORTLAND, OREGON.
Of the 500+ wedding galleries I’ve delivered, 72% of favorited images have included family and friends.
Because everyone who is a part of your wedding day is part of your story. And I believe each person who steps in front of my lens deserves to be celebrated.
“Natalie did a wonderful job capturing joy through her photos. We were looking for photos that would capture us naturally. We wanted the photos to reflect us how we usually are, nothing too posed or manufactured. She did a wonderful job snapping beautiful moments.”
I focus on honest, moment-driven images. And with a calm energy and a desire to get to know you and your loved ones, I gently break down awkward barriers—encouraging everyone to be themselves in front of my camera.
The result?
Natural images of genuine laughter, happy tears, and big hugs.
And a room full of people who fully embrace your day— without reservation.
