We want you to remember how your insides felt when you saw each other for the first time or how happy you were as you laughed and danced with all of your favorite people.

Client Review
Tris + Remi
“ I knew that I needed to find someone with a style that would be timeless & would capture the real essence of the day so that I would be transported whenever I looked at them. Nate & Amanda work together seamlessly and were exactly what I wanted. Their presence on our wedding day was so calming and friendly. It was so fun to adventure with them. Before the wedding they made a point of getting to know us so that when we met in person, it was easy to relax in front of the camera … [They] took the time to let us be ourselves and gave very minimal direction. I believe them to be the best at finding the natural essence of a couple and of the small moments that make up the blur that is a wedding day. “

"Nate's THE BEST! He took the time to get to know us and boy does he get us! He embraced our funky, unique style. He also made the entire day feel so relaxed and ensured that he knew the names of all our family members and the wedding party. Thank you Nate for capturing just how perfect this day was!" -Jamie
