Working with Nathan for our wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was an amazing experience.  He captured the week perfectly.  He got to know everyone on a personal level and that makes a huge difference when catching the right moment on camera.  We still get compliments weekly on how great the photos came out.

It is evident that there was a ton of love and care with each photo he shot. He knows what moments are key, he understands when its appropriate to request a certain shot — but most of all: he manages the crowd with authority and kindness.

What’s incredible about Nathan is that his character & adaptability are equally as impressive as his unique talent behind the lens. We’re beyond grateful for the mind-blowing results of his work during our destination wedding on a tiny, charming island in Mexico.

More Than a Photographer

With over two decades behind the camera, I’ve learned that weddings aren’t about performance—they’re about presence. My work is documentary at its core, paired with timeless portraiture, so when you look back, you don’t just see your day—you feel it.

A calm, unobtrusive presence.
The story unfolds naturally, without pressure or interruption.

An eye for what matters.
Both the defining moments and the quiet in-between ones are always seen.

Thoughtful guidance, only when needed.
Direction is subtle, clear, and never disruptive.

A complete, cohesive narrative.
Nothing rushed. Nothing missing.
