Meet Natalie —

your photographer/personal cheerleader/bonus bridesmaid

I have a strong commitment to artful storytelling, and I’ve been lucky enough to capture joy-filled wedding days for hundreds of couples since 2018.

I’m always in the mood for sushi and will never say no to a dirty vodka martini (with extra olives because one is never enough). I could spend hours sifting through the racks at local vintage stores. I live for hosting friends in my home and around the dinner table. I’m Italian, so give me a great meal, good company and a cup of espresso and we’ll be friends for life.

I’m happiest when I’m making things and chasing inspiration. In another life, I’d be a ceramist or interior designer. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do and I always have at least two cameras in my bag.

The Midwest is my home, but I’ll never say no to adventures and the chance to capture you on one of your best days. Just say the word and I’m there.

  • “Natalie was an absolute dream to work with. She was a fly on the wall, yet captured every important moment. Her photography is candid, journalistic and most importantly, timeless. Overall, Natalie is a wonderful human with amazing talent. Hire her for your wedding, engagement shoot (which we also did with her!) and any other love story you want to tell. She'll rock it.” // Emma & Zach

  • “After meeting Natalie we knew she was the perfect fit! She is so kind and laid back and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. On our wedding day we wanted to keep things relaxed but efficient and Natalie nailed it. She sent us a sneak peak a few days after the wedding and the full gallery about a month and a half later. We could not be happier with the photos and our experience with Natalie. I can’t wait for another event in the future so that I can work with Natalie again!” // Rachel & Rob

  • “Natalie photographed our wedding, and I don't think we could have chosen anyone better for the job! She helped our day run smoothly, while simultaneously capturing everything authentically. She was great with our families and friends, and my husband and I were able to relax and just have fun with her during our photos. Her style is timeless and detail oriented. We are so thankful we trusted Natalie for our important moment- we would hire her again in a heartbeat!” // Mallory & Paul

  • “Natalie photographed the most important day of my life - my wedding day. She was all the things you might expect in a wedding photographer (quick, courteous, thoughtful, communicative, creative, timely, etc) but Natalie’s romantic eye for composition is what I valued most. Having her there while I got ready with my bridesmaids, and even during my husband’s and mine first look, was not at all intrusive. In fact, it felt like having a best friend with me, taking photos. She is a truly talented photographer and I cannot recommend her services enough.” // Annie & Jake
