my journey to your story

EXPLORE MORE ABOUT ME & MY APPROACH ⟶
And what an adventure it's been.
For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated with visually documenting the world around me.
This started with travel—which not only made for some pretty amazing memories of my own but provided ample opportunities to refine my technical skills in real-world settings. And further cultivated my heart for diverse moments, places, and people.
In 2012, I took the leap and began documenting incredible couples and meaningful love stories.
Luxury Destination Wedding Photographer
Meet Nathan
While some photographers see your wedding as another job and themselves as just another vendor, I see it as an opportunity to use my personality to make you feel comfortable and my talents to create something special you will cherish forever.
You'll find I'm an open and genuine guy with an interesting accent and a ton of travel stories. I was born in Australia, lived in the Middle East, and have traveled to over 35 countries. This means, I'm naturally comfortable with most personality types, cultures, and situations. And I can easily adapt to just about anything, or anyone.
So, you'll feel confident with this process and comfortable with me. And in turn- you'll be your most relaxed, natural selves.
I'M AN ADAPTABLE GUY
one
To me, there is a fine line between structured and regimented. My framework for your day falls somewhere in between. Because I am all about an intentional timeline and a thoughtful plan. But I'm also aware that a wedding is a live event where anything can happen- and often does.
So, we'll carve out time for everything we need to capture, add in some pockets of flexibility, and maintain a go-with-the-flow attitude that is focused on what's best for you.
WITH A GO WITH THE FLOW ATTITUDE
two
One look at my portfolio and you'll find I don't focus on my artistic vision or the latest trends. Instead, I focus on creating timeless, chic, and clean images by making the most of that golden hour light. Capturing beautifully warm skin tones. And limiting my use of flash until the reception.
So you get gorgeous images with the depth, color, and textures only natural light can create.
A LOVE FOR NATURAL LIGHT
Three
In addition to capturing traditional portraits and beautiful details, I'll capture scenic images of your stunning venue and the landscape around you. Be it an epic beachside location or a charming chateau, I'll focus on the beauty around you.
Then, using unique angles and a fresh point of view, I'll creatively place you and your love story at the center of it all.
AND A KNACK FOR SETTING THE SCENE

ZAHRA
“From the natural poses to his use of light, his skill is obvious.”
I was immediately impressed by his eye and skill. But not only is Nathan an incredible photographer, he is also a truly kind person with a great sense of humor who is easy to work with, really listens to what you want and is super responsive and communicative.
CASSANDRA
“Nathan’s guidance and direction helped document the best parts of our day.”
And he helped my husband who is introverted in nature to smile and be present and true in every moment.
RICH
“Our photos were gorgeous and everyone looked like they were having fun.”
I loved the way he captures both the beauty of the surroundings and backgrounds as well as the subjects.
Kind Words
I met my wife Chelsea by random chance.
In a bar. In 2005 (before iPhones and dating apps were a thing).
She couldn't understand my accent.
I couldn't hear her over the music.
It was perfect.
Except, she was from California, and I was from Sydney.
Enter — long-distance.
As much as we loved sharing our mutual love of travel, you can only cross the Pacific so many times before the in-flight movie selection gets a little old.
So, in 2010, after five years, hundreds of frequent flier miles, and thousands of photos to authenticate our relationship with U.S. Immigration, I arrived in this beautiful corner of the world.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
