I used to manage critical national infrastructure. Now, I capture your legacy.
PROJECT MANAGER CALM. PROFESSIONAL THIRD WHEEL.
Most wedding photographers are pure artists. That can mean amazing photos, but it can also mean chaos, ego and missed schedules. You don't need another vendor adding friction to your day.
I operate differently. I combine a fashion photography eye with a project manager's brain. I absorb the stress so you never feel it.
CONTAGIOUS CALM.
ICONIC RESULTS.

Meet Nate
You want the magazine-quality photos, but the idea of posing for four hours makes you cringe.
I get it...
Most people didn't pay for a photoshoot, they paid for a celebration. My job isn't to turn your day into a production. It’s to use my Project Manager brain to keep the wheels turning behind the scenes, so you can stay in the moment.
Here's the thing...
No pressure. No cringe. While other photographers might panic when the timeline slips, I just fix it. I absorb the chaos so you can stay calm and have a drink. This gets you a whole lot of fun and some iconic shots of you actually enjoying your day!
WHAT i've found works...
I didn't start in weddings. My background is managing critical national infrastructure and emerging technology project where a single mistake could freeze the country.
5 things you didn't know about me
there is nothing quite like the quiet luxury of a warm cup and a slow start. IT's a moment of appreciation for intentionality and exhale.
THE SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT CUP
I can read a room
It’s how I know when to subtly guide you through motion over stiff poses and when to stay a fly on the wall to capture the real stuff.
I cannot live without good restaurants and GOOD coffee. I believe that quality matters, whether it is on the plate or in the frame.
I AM A MASSIVE FOODIE
I’m really good at blending in
I don’t hide behind my camera so people don’t have to feel awkward with a camera pointing at them and that is one way I capture real moments.
I am obsessed with dogS
I AM OBSESSED WITH MY DOG, RUBY. If you bring your dog to a session, I will probably pay more attention to them than you.
It’s easy. I promise.
01.
The Conversation
We talk about what actually matters to you. Once I get your vision, I’ll open my network and recommend the exact vendors who match your standard.
02.
The Flow
I build a run sheet that protects your peace and your party time.
03.
The Day
I show up, I blend in, I manage the chaos. You get to actually attend your wedding, drink your champagne and stay completely in the moment while I capture it all.

“Nate was extremely professional and made everyone feel at ease."
Nate was extremely professional and made everyone feel at ease. No one felt in a rush or pressured to take all shots quickly. He was very thorough and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted.

"We could not have hoped for a better experience!"
We could not have hoped for a better experience! My husband - who hates photos - was so comfortable with Nate and he truly bought the carefree and fun vibe! We are so grateful that you were a part of our special day and cannot thank you enough!
