I  cannot believe that this past year has come and gone! Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014! The highlights included: marrying my high school sweetheart (Love you, Huey!), buying our first house,  traveling to Vegas for my first WPPI Experience, turning twenty-three, hosting a workshop in Rehoboth Beach, and photographing almost thirty weddings from Coast to Coast (including Punta Cana and Seattle).
I know that I say this quite often, but it is something that I believe whole heartedly – – I have the most incredible clients in the entire world. I could not live out my dream of being a photographer without their enthusiasm, trust, and friendship. Thank you for being a part of the ‘Natalie Franke’ Family and for your constant support. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Happy New Year, Friends! Cheers to 2014 to all!
Want to go back even further: Â A Year in Review 2012 Â | Â A Year in Review 2011
I can’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed with gratitude for a truly amazing year. I know that Natalie Franke Photography, LLC bears my name alone – but it is a team effort behind the scenes! From my incredible husband who is my rock + supporter, to my family + friends who keep me laughing during the stress of wedding season,  my summer intern Meg, my accountant Tom Barnhill, the Bayside Bride Team, my amazing second shooters (Kate, Krista, Marisa, Mandy, + Melissa) to the friendships that I have fostered with photographers who continue to inspire me with their words and actions… I love you all! Thank you for helping to make this year the best yet!

You are so very talented, Natalie. Loved seeing your work over the past year. With so many wonderful photographs to choose from, it is an honor to see several of Natalie and Eric in Punta Cana included in this blog.
