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!

Hi there! My name is Nathan and I’d love the opportunity to help document your big day. To share a bit about myself… I was born and raised in Fontana, moved to Riverside and now currently reside in Colton with my fiance, 2 dogs, 3 cats and 1 baby girl.

I started my photography/videography business back in 2017 and also work as the Marketing Director for a small business where I provide photography, videography, and social media marketing services to other businesses across the country.

From that experience, I’ve had the opportunity to travel to various states covering various events, conferences, and more. So you can rest assured that if large companies can trust me to cover their large events, my team and I are able to confidently document your wedding.
