hi, IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU!
MY NAME IS Natalie
i’ll go first!
when i was younger i never cried watching movies or shows and now i can’t stop. seriously— i even cried watching a mcdonald’s commercial.
i looooove taking pictures of the sky.
i have an irrational fear of curdled milk.
my cheeks hurt at the end of shooting weddings from smiling + laughing.
my favorite fruit is cantaloupe. no cantaloupe hate allowed!
Not just a photographer, a visual, storyteller for loved-up souls.
Lets get to know each other
I am inspired by the creativity of humans and the beauty of nature.
The simple whispers of the heart paired with the rustling of the trees.
You can also write about your overall style and personality, what makes you different from all the other photographers they’ve researched. Don’t be shy!
Talk about how your photos will help them relive the day for years and generations to come.
"as i've grown older I have tried to go back to my childhood wonder. to be free and full of awe, without a care about judgement, only beauty."
WHAT INSPIRES ME
Here’s where you can delve further into your favourite things outside of wedding photography – everyone might be able to be a photographer, but there’s little quirks that make you unique – chat about that.
Maybe you can talk about your favourite hobbies, food, art or leisure activities. What you do to wind down when you’re not shooting – pets, your family, your hometown.
You can also use this opportunity to rehash your love for travelling – a great way for you to subtly remind them that you’re open to shooting destination weddings.
Remember to wrap up this section by tying it back into wedding photography. For example, “That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)”
Disney Movies still Make me Cry (a one-liner, fun quirk that makes you, you)
MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Uncover your overall approach to the day and an overview of your process. Help them picture what it’s like to have you there on the day and why what you do is so important. Mention how you’ll help them ensure the day flows smoothly, because you’ve had loads of experience at other weddings.
For example, talk about how you’ll arrive at first light to capture the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad helping the bride get ready. Or the groomsmen sneaking a few drinks to calm their nerves.
Chat about how you’ll turn up after one too many coffees, buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days in their lives, and that you won’t miss a moment.
Write about documenting the getting ready prep through to ceremony, reception and afterparty (if relevant). How you’ll be there in the centre of it all or as a wallflower behind the scenes, photographing moments and details that they might’ve missed (e.g. Aunty Doris getting drunk on the d-floor). Whether you stick to purely candid shots or will pose them for styled shots.
Rain, hail or shine, I won’t miss a beat
BEHIND THE LENS
my philosophy
I want to capture you. I want to capture the beauty, the mess, the emotion, the creativity, I want it all. No matter what stage of life your are in, you deserve to be celebrated and your progress should be remembered.
Are you celebrating something? Let me be your cheerleader
Do you want remember something that is vulnerable? Let me support you and be a shoulder to lean on, someone to laugh, cry or scream with.
Photography is so special because it is a way to remember all of these fleeting moments in a way that can.... When your mind starts to forget,
"THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT INSPIRE AND EXCITE ME MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHY!"
