I know there’s a lot to plan and organize. But this moment is about you, that smoke-show fiancé of yours, and the story you’re writing together. So I’m here to make sure this feels like a breeze, to spoil the heck out of you two, and tell your story in photographs that make you gasp, cry, and swoon when you see them. Deal?
Take a deep breath.
And it’s finally happening.
This is the best chapter of your book, yet. This is your once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Hey friend, call me Nate! All my friends do. I know, cheesy-cheesy, but we’re about to experience one of the biggest moments of your life together, so we’re gonna become pals. Truth is: the more we’re all down-to-earth and chill and easy-breezy with each other, the more these photos and the experience will feel true to YOU. That’s when the magic happens, every time!
...that just so happens to also be your photographer.
Your creative expert, day-of dress-floofer, and genuine friend...

Recent Stories & Photos on the Blog
While the industry standard is 6-8 weeks (🥴), I deliver 20-50 "sneak peek" photos within 24 HOURS after your wedding day, and your final gallery will be delivered within ONE MONTH of wedding day!
How soon will we get our photos?
Absolutely. In fact, your gallery has an integrated online print store where you can conveniently order from the BEST quality prints labs that I have hand-selected from around the world.
Do you offer prints?
Heck yeah I do! My destination weddings/elopements are limited to 2-3 per year, but tell me where your love is taking us, and I’ll let you know if I have that date available!
Do you travel?
I dual-write every single photo to two different SD cards, and then immediately back them all up to at least 2 additional security hard drives stored in a fire-safe box. 🔒
How do you keep our photos safe?
You bet I do! Just ask me for them. Also, if you book with me in Michigan, I can send you a complete vendor recommendations guide full of the best people to work with!
Do you have vendor recommendations?
Easy peasy. You inquire, we hop on a brief Zoom call and make sure we’re the right fit, then I send you a contract + invoice you can take care of with a few clicks. ✅
How do we book you?
As early as you can. (Even before engagement is totally cool!) Dates usually book up quick, and I’m only taking a maximum of 10 weddings/elopements per year right now to ensure top-notch attention given to all my couples.
