My number-one goal

Transforming your love story into a work of art

Candid photography lies at the heart of how I capture your wedding day. Unposed, authentic, and full of emotion. I believe the most powerful moments happen naturally: a quiet glance, a shared laugh, a tear of joy. By blending into the background, I preserve the genuine beauty of your love story as it unfolds, turning fleeting moments into timeless works of art you’ll cherish forever.

More than JUST

 

Your Washington Wedding and Elopement Photographer

My journey with photography began right after high school, taking senior portraits for my friends. What started as a creative hobby quickly became something much more meaningful.


As the years passed, those same friends started getting married, and they didn’t want the traditional, posed wedding photos. They wanted to be fully present, to soak in every moment of the day, without worrying about a camera in their face.


They just needed someone they trusted to be there, quietly capturing the real, unfiltered moments and making it all look beautiful.


That’s what I love most about this work: telling honest stories through timeless images, and helping people remember how it felt, not just how it looked.

2 words: THE BEST. We traveled from Indiana to Washington and I tell you, this guy was incredible!

If you want a laid back, easy going, and joyful experience, this is your guy! He made us feel so comfortable, not to mention the jaw-dropping photos. I’m serious.

Jaw. On. The. Floor.

Book him!! You won’t be disappointed!

"Nathaniel is a pure professional. He does the most amazing work and makes you feel like the world revolves around you and your bride for the entire time.

The one trait that puts him above all else is the ability for Nathaniel to become part of the party and fun. He is personable and brings humor wherever he goes.

Couldn’t recommend him more!"

"Nathaniel was wonderful to work with and the pictures turned out so beautiful! He shot our wedding and an engagement shoot and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

As people who don't typically feel comfortable in front of the camera, he quickly put us at ease with his clear direction and calming energy. He captured our wedding day perfectly and we are so grateful we found him!

Highly recommend for anyone considering a wedding/engagement photographer in Seattle area."
