effortless direction for 

wedding photos that look & feel like YOU.

Rather than forcing you through a rote list of poses, with me as your wedding photographer in Minneapolis, we'll take it
slow and start off with a few simple prompts. 

As you get more comfortable, I'll encourage you to take the reins
and be yourselves. Along the way, I'll alleviate any insecurity using
positive feedback and a little self-deprecating humor so you can
just relax in the moment and let your genuine selves shine!

the experience

intentional planning for

beautifully candid moments

Using gorgeous light and flattering angels, I'll set the scene for candid
moments to naturally unfold. 

There will be times when I lead and offer lots of direction and
moments when I step back and capture what I see through the lens.

Regardless, I'll give you the time and space to connect in whatever
way feels most comfortable, as I capture imperceptible moments and
meaningful exchanges I know you'll want to look back on one day, which is one of my favorite parts of being one of the trusted Minnesota wedding photographers.

true to life editing for

a polished story of your day

I'll hand-edit every photograph to remove distractions, adjust skin tones, and highlight your venue, design, or decor. 

In 6-8 weeks, you'll receive a refined digital album of your Minnesota wedding photography, with all the curated details, family portraits, and in-between moments that tell the complete story of your day and bring you back to the heart of it all!

“We immediately sent them to our family, printed off hundreds
of favorites, and then went back and scrolled through them all
over again. And again. And again."

The colors were real, the emotions were real, and the photos just felt like us.”

I spent hours searching for the best wedding photographer for my big day, vetting 25 different professionals. The moment I met Natalie, I knew she was the visionary I was hoping for.  We received luxurious photos that my friends and family have told me look straight out of a bridal magazine. She was my absolute favorite member of my vendor team and I have recommended her to every friend of mine getting married.

As told by

While I’ll absolutely bring my unique, artistic vision to your wedding day, my approach is shaped by what you want to remember. And while I’ll provide guidance when needed, I’ll also step back when it counts.
The result? A wedding day that feels grounded, a gallery that reflects your heart, and photographs that quietly reveal everything you don’t want to miss.

Beyond photographs, there are two things I care deeply about: 

Your priorities and your experience.

Natalie was more than we could have ever dreamed of in a wedding photographer. We love our engagement and wedding photos, but we also just really liked Natalie. She kept us relaxed and having fun during our wedding day. She helped prompt real laughter throughout the day. Our photos are bright, colorful, and cheerful - they capture the joy and energy of the day.

Before Your Wedding Day

You'll receive a digital guide that prepares you for the day from a photography perspective, as well as a questionnaire that pieces together who you are as a couple and your vision for your day. 

I'll guide you through an engagement session to get comfortable in front of the camera and schedule regular check-ins so you feel
supported every step of the way.
