Hi, I’m Nathan — a wedding photographer and filmmaker based in Southern California.

My approach is simple: capture your day as it naturally unfolds, with a balance of candid moments and just enough guidance so you feel comfortable and look your best. No awkward posing, no pressure — just a relaxed experience where you can actually enjoy your wedding.

Since 2017, I’ve documented weddings with a calm, organized approach that ensures nothing important gets missed. From the big moments to the in-between ones, everything is captured with intention so you can relive how it all felt for years to come.

If you’re looking for something natural, timeless, and true to your story — you’re in the right place.

We had Nathan and his team photograph our wedding at Villa de Amore and it was one of the best decisions we made. They were so kind, professional and genuinely fun to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, gave us so much encouragement and just the right direction to capture the most beautiful photos. I had a very specific vision and inspiration board going into our wedding and they brought it to life better than I could have imagined. They perfectly understood the aesthetic I was aiming for and captured it so beautifully. They paid attention to all the little details that mattered most and somehow managed to capture both, the big and small moments throughout the day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will understand your vision, make you feel confident and deliver a gallery that exceeds every expectation, I can’t recommend Nathan and his team enough. They gave us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime and we are beyond grateful.

We absolutely loved working with Nathan and his wonderful team! Nathan was so encouraging through the planning process and during the wedding day itself, and always supported what we wanted. He was incredibly communicative during the planning process and was quick to respond to our questions and ideas. We had put together a Pinterest board with poses and ideas that we liked, and on the day of our wedding, he made sure to bring those ideas to life while also allowing us to be fully present on one of the best days of our lives. When we received our gallery, we loved seeing the beautiful moments between the two of us, but what meant just as much were all the moments we didn’t even know had happened. Nathan and his team captured our family and friends laughing and celebrating together. Those candid moments were such a nice surprise because we were able to experience parts of our wedding day that we had completely missed. Looking through our photos truly felt like reliving the day all over again - Nathan and his team truly captured the magic of how the day felt. We will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives, and we couldn’t recommend Nathan more highly to any couple looking for a team that genuinely cares about you and making the most of your big day!

We honestly can't say enough great things about Nathan and Nicole. Nathan, our lead photographer, was absolutely incredible. From the moment he arrived, he made us feel completely at ease. He was organized, professional, creative, and had such a calm confidence that made the entire day stress-free. He knew exactly how to capture every important moment while keeping everything natural and fun. Looking through our photos, we're amazed at how beautifully he documented not just the big moments, but all the little emotions that made our wedding so special. Nicole, his assistant photographer, was equally amazing. She brought such a positive and encouraging energy throughout the day and was always there to help with anything we needed. Whether she was fixing a dress, helping us get into position, or capturing moments from another perspective, she went above and beyond. She made us feel so comfortable and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Together, Nathan and Nicole were the perfect team. They worked so seamlessly that everything felt effortless, and their chemistry made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The photos are beyond anything we could have imagined, and we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for photographers who are not only incredibly talented but also amazing people to have by your side on one of the biggest days of your life, Nathan and Nicole are the team to book. We couldn't recommend them more highly. Thank you both for giving us memories we'll cherish forever!

When we decided on VDA for our wedding we were given options for photographers, Nathan’s gallery was extraordinary in a way where it seemed effortless while getting all of the detailed shots that a bride and groom could want! Nathan and his team were great at posing and making sure it was not too posed, I felt that all of the moments were captured and they listened to what I wanted or needed. They were great about timing and not rushing I couldn’t recommend Nathan more!!

Nathan is amazing! Definitely book him for your next photoshoot! We had such a wonderful experience with our maternity photoshoot. Being able to do the session at home with our dogs made it feel relaxed and extra special. He made everything easy, gave clear direction while still letting us be ourselves. The photos turned perfect, I literally can't stop looking at them. They have the sweet, warm, candid feel we had envisioned. We're so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully, no one else could have captured it like he did. If you’re looking for someone to capture your most meaningful moments in a natural and timeless way, I would highly recommend

I absolutely adored working with Nathan and his team. My husband and I had booked him for our engagement shoot as well as photo/video on our wedding day. He made us feel at ease and was so quick in communication. He also went above and beyond to be send some recommendations for photo ops, advice, and poses for us 😊 My mom saw how attentive and efficient the team was during our wedding day and wants to book Nathan someday as well 😆 We definitely look forward to booking him again for any important events in the future!

My experience working with Nathan has been nothing short of incredible! He shot my wedding at Villa de Amore in Temecula, and he was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! He is professional, kind, thorough, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding, he helped the flow of the evening move according to plan while also capturing all of our special moments. My husband and I aren’t the most natural in front of the camera, but Nathan made us feel so comfortable and was able to capture our love through his photos! Definitely hire him for your wedding.

Nathan and the crew took photos for me and my wife in Temecula at Villa de Amore and I could not rave more about the photos. Not only was everyone so kind and accommodating, they truly captured the magic of the day and our love. Everyone I show the photos to gushes over them and calls them majestic and regal. My spouse and I are enthralled with the photos and the service and could not recommend Nathan more! We’d definitely rate 100 stars if possible!

Frequently Asked Questions

In order to lock in my schedule, 25% will be collected upfront as an initial booking fee. The next 25% will be processed 30 days before the wedding date to compensate for the equipment rentals while the last 50% will be on or before the day of the wedding. I am also flexible when it comes to payment plans, so if your wedding is several months to a year in advance, we can also set up automatic monthly payments.

This is a cinematic recap of your wedding. Depending on the package you select, this 3 to 7-minute video is a professionally edited highlight film that utilizes your recorded vows and speeches to craft a compelling narrative – allowing you and other viewers to revisit the magic of your wedding. [sample]

We can combine all of the footage my team captured into one longer video that tells the story from beginning to end. While the Highlight Film will be more cinematic, this will simply be a retelling of the wedding itself – shot by shot – with the ceremony, speeches, and dances. If you plan on having kids, think of this as a “generational heirloom” that you can share with your kids and grandkids, showing them their parents’ wedding day. [sample]

Every wedding is different. Ask yourself these questions:

  • Are you doing a first look? If so, you will have more time for photos before the ceremony with each other, your bridal party, family, and son on. If not, we’ll get all of those essential group photos and your “romantic” portraits immediately after your ceremony during Cocktail Hour.
  • Do you want “getting ready” or “detail” shots? If so, you’ll want us to arrive an hour or 2 before the ceremony so we have enough time to get your special items for “flat lay” detail photos, dress photos, and some of you with your bridesmaids / groomsmen before the ceremony.
  • Are your ceremony and reception in different locations? If so, take into consideration the extra time required for everyone to travel from point A to point B – so you may want more time with your photo/video team.
  • After your traditional moments during the reception are over (such as your dances, bouquet & garter tosses, and cake cutting), do you need photos/videos of everyone dancing and having a great time as the night goes on? If not, we can leave a few minutes after the dance floor opens up.

Depending on your timeline, six hours of coverage may start right before the ceremony begins while 8 hours of coverage may start when you are finishing up getting ready all the way until the dance floor opens up toward the end of your reception. The more hours you have us, the less rushed you will feel when getting all of those essential photos and can focus more on experiencing your day. Those two hours can make a huge difference. But always check with your coordinator/planner/venue when developing your full timeline.

Need me more than 8 hours? Additional hours may be available upon request. If additional hours are requested on the day of the wedding, we will send you an invoice the following day. It’s not uncommon for couples to add an additional 1 to 2 hours.

It’s my goal to document your true and authentic love story in the moment. Much of this will simply be documenting the day as is, but you can also have an element of control if you plan correctly. We’ll work together to determine exactly what you’re looking for with your photos/videos – so feel free to send me examples you might find online so I have a better idea of your vision.

The Cinematic Highlight Video (and Documentary Cut) will be delivered within 8-10 weeks after your wedding via a downloadable HD video file(s). Peak seasons may affect this turnaround time.
