With a warm heart and an intentional eye for detail, I’m here to capture your day with care—and a little extra magic. Whether you’re planning a vineyard wedding in Napa, a coastal Carmel celebration, or a chic Bay Area wedding at The Pearl, you’ll walk away with photos that feel as good as they look. Beyond this, though, I believe in helping you navigate the excitement of your wedding with well-crafted timelines and expert guidance, to pair with your wedding planner’s advice and approach. 

It’s my honor to not only capture your joy, but to also encourage you to savor it.

I'm Natalie, A luxury wedding photographer in the Bay Area, Napa, and Carmel

With me, you’ll see and feel the difference — meaningful moments that overflow with love, and imagery that lets you relive it all, again and again. My job is to support you before, during, and after the big day. That means providing gentle guidance when needed, and knowing when to step back and let your natural experiences shine through. And I'm not just here for the wedding, but for every meaningful moment that follows. From engagement to starting your family, I'll be there to help you capture the moments you don't want to miss.


Advocating experiences that feel joyful, not forced. So we can create photos with irreplaceable memories, too.

Bay  Area Photographer

Although I can’t get enough of floral-filled ceremonies, it's the heart-filled, handwritten vows shared by couples that always bring tears to my eyes. But, above all, I can’t get enough of bringing joy to others through my images, making these immersive memories into something tangible that can be savored over time.

Claire & Parker

Natalie was absolutely amazing at our wedding! She was a joy to work with from start to finish, and her talent shines through in our photos. She made everyone feel comfortable. What we loved most about Natalie was how she listened to what we wanted. She worked efficiently throughout the day to make sure we got all the moments we wanted captured. This made us feel like our vision for the day was truly understood.   Overall, working with Natalie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She's not just talented, but also such a pleasure to be around. 

"If you want a photographer who'll make you feel comfortable, listen to your ideas, and deliver stunning photos, Natalie is your girl!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

Murrieta's Well wedding

Alycia & Ben

THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO BOOK WITH NATALIE. She is unbelievably talented!! She is one of the kindest people we have ever met, and makes you feel super comfortable while taking photos. My husband and I are not great with photos, yet she managed to direct us/capture perfect shots from our engagement and wedding. We are beyond grateful to have met her and have had her at our wedding. We love her!! If only she lived closer to LA we would force her to hangout with us more. Thank you Natalie for everything!

“She is fantastic and deserves more than 5 stars."

Laguna Seca Golf Club Wedding

Experience life through my lens

“Not only did our pictures turn out next level amazing, she was [early for our] wedding day, kept me on schedule, followed a shot list and provided creative ideas, made us feel comfortable, was so fun and truly became a valued friend. I have friends from all over the country asking if she will travel for their wedding … because she is THAT. GOOD.”

"She is THAT. GOOD."

CARMEL FIELDS wedding

Bree & Patrik

Recognizing that true love and family are not confined by culture or identity, I celebrate and welcome every individual across all ethnicities, cultures, and gender identities. 

Inviting Inclusivity

While yes, I can’t get enough of my very cuddly cats, and camping provides the perfect creative boost to keep the fire burning (preferably with a s’more in hand), the time spent with my family singing, dancing, running through the park — doing whatever it may be that brings us closer — that means the most to me. It’s these fast and unforgettable moments of happiness that I love to capture most.
