Meet Natalie
I was born and raised along the Chesapeake Bay in the nautical town of Annapolis, Maryland. The daughter and grand-daughter of two Naval Academy graduates, my family has always been a part of this historic city that I’m proud to call home. In high school, I met my husband rowing along the Severn River, where we fell in love and dated for seven years before tying the knot. It was also in high school where I picked up my first camera and my love for photography was born!
In college, I moved to Philadelphia to pursue a degree in Visual Studies from the University of Pennsylvania. It was at UPenn that I discovered my interest in the Psychology of Seeing, fell in love with espresso, joined Chi Omega, and got engaged to my sweetheart.
Over the past six years, I’ve photographed weddings from Seattle to the Caribbean, and had the honor of laughing and crying beside hundreds of couples on their wedding day. I absolutely love being a photographer and I would be honored to tell your story.
My Philosophy
I believe in finding the person who completes you in a way you never knew was possible.
I believe in long-time loves, in growing old together, discovering the world together. I know that there is a soulmate out there for each of us, and when we find ‘the one’ we have to hold onto them with everything that we have. I will forever cherish the memories of my childhood, the sweet embrace of my grandmother, the framed photographs, of loved ones past and present, that cluttered our mantles and decorated our walls. And it is this nostalgic appreciation that inspires me to capture the world in a timeless and romantic way.
I believe that it is my calling to tell your love story… And not only for you, but for the generations of bright-eyed children and grandchildren that will come after you. For the little girl who believes that her mother was the most beautiful bride in the world. For the wrinkled hands, still held together, that fifty years from now are a testament to a life built on love.
