Here Today Photography

elpful she was on the wedding day!

many of our guests came up to me and said they loved our photographer! She is genuine and kind, but also professional and straightforward. I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

pictures which is a feat in itself! We absolutely love how natural everyone looks in our photos and how Natalie took the time to make people feel comfortable with having a photographer around. I cannot recommend her enough! We will cherish these photos forever.

g the day and ran around the venue like she had an invisible cape on. She works magic! Detail shots, family photos, candid moments - all captured beautifully. Natalie takes the time to notice the small things and I can't thank her enough for the authentic and beautiful pictures. She was the BEST vendor I hired for the day and I can't explain in words how fabulous she was!!

ife were married, and fell in love with her work. Natalie is not just an amazing photographer, but an amazing person who partners with you and takes the time to understand your relationship, your vision, and your needs. She is the consummate professional while also compassionate and totally human, and understands the importance of the moments she is entrusted to capture. Natalie thoughtfully captures authentic details and moments in a way that will bring joy for years to come.

ful storytelling she did of our wedding day. Getting to go back and see all of the things that we were not apart of was such a treat. It instantly brings joy and happy tears to get to revisit a real honest moment in time. We look forward to working with Natalie in the future.

pictures turned out and she let us take the lead on what we were looking for! We will definitely be reaching out again in the future for more family pictures because she truly was the best.

with. She helped us feel natural and just enjoy our time together when we were doing photos of just the two of us. She was encouraging, gave some cues as needed but didn't over do it and many of our photos feel candid nd natural rather than stage (because they weren't for the most part). Natalie takes great candid photos and is so easy to work with. I really appreciated that she had a survey for us prior to the wedding to get to know us, who would be attending, and other aspects to know about the wedding and what photos we would want. We did not have a traditional wedding in the least and Natalie was game for all aspects of it including hiking around a little for photos in the forest and in the end they were just stunning. I would absolutely recommend Natalie for anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the area.

easy to work with through re-scheduling through COVID. Would recommend her in a second to any couples about to get married. She gave us a special sneak peak within a day, too! And super accommodating to last minute requests for certain shots. We loved her. Great communication as well.

a stunning set of photos to treasure for years to come, Natalie was flexible, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuine. We loved working with her and would recommend her to all!

to form, we just got our photos back and they perfectly capture the emotion of the day. When we look through them it's like we get to re-experience all of the love and joy from that day all over again. Natalie made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and she fit in so well with our families. I also need to note a couple of ways that Natalie went completely above and beyond what we would expect from any wedding photographer. First, just a few days before our wedding, we found out that our sweet dog was sick. I had had her since she was 4 weeks old, and this news was completely devastating. When I told Natalie about this, she made sure to capture extra photos of our girl - both a couple days before our wedding and again during our wedding. Our dog passed away just three weeks after our wedding, so I will cherish these photos forever. I am so grateful that Natalie was there to capture our beautiful girl. Natalie was also soooo great to work with as we navigated the post-Covid world. We live on the East Coast and Natalie lives on the West Coast, which of course, made everything all the more complicated. Natalie was so open to discuss different options and contingency plans. Her open communication style and flexibility allowed us to find a way to make it work so that everyone involved (Natalie included!) felt comfortable. We ended up having Natalie fly out East a week early so that she would have time to quarantine before the wedding. She also got a Covid-19 test (as did all of our guests), which made everyone feel safe. We would work with Natalie again in a minute and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone in need of a talented and compassionate photographer!

ople who aren't super comfortable being in front of a camera). Natalie really loves what she does - which can be seen through her photos. Plus she is the absolute sweetest and makes you feel so comfortable during such a stressful time. We highly recommend Natalie for anyone in the market for a photographer!

s involved. We found her through Instagram, which is basically how we found our wedding ceremony venue. She sent us a really thoughtful questionnaire before the wedding and when the day arrived, she fit in so well with our family and made everything feel natural. I normally feel really self-conscious in front of the camera, but the way that Natalie works makes you feel like you are hanging out with a new friend. We just got our photos back and she captured some beautiful emotions and moments that I will now cherish forever. Thank you thank you thank you Natalie! You are such a talented photographer. We are so grateful!

our wedding she was professional and courteous and went above and beyond, integrating herself in with our guests and family. She even helped one of our family members personally-we SO appreciated her ability to be both professional and a real person who helped out when/where she could. The photos turned out beautiful, and she was gracious enough to take some of our editing requests. Highly recommend!

e beautiful and really captured the "essence" of the day. The pictures all take you right back, like a dream, because she captured it as (or more) beautiful than I even remember it now a couple months afterwards. She also put us at ease and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera (to the extent possible because we're both camera shy). Hire Natalie! I hope I get to again too!

ities. Not to mention she edited our photos in 2 days, and they still came out WAAAYYYY better than our other photographers photos for our engagement shoot. If we hadn't had already paid the other photographer in full, we would've flown Natalie out for our wedding reception in Hawaii next year. She's that good! and I'm very picky on who I compliment :) She is the sweetest person and made us feel comfortable the entire time, which was reflected in our photos. My sister and brother-in-law were there at our photo shoot and she offered to take pictures of them as well. They even said if they need to take any pictures in the future they'll only go to Natalie (us too!) We're so grateful she was able to accommodate for us on a somewhat short notice. I would choose Natalie to take our photos again in a heartbeat. Thank you Natalie!!!

n attracted to Natalie’s style because of the raw and true emotions she would capture in her photos and I respected her kind and prompt communication. Natalie had been more than understanding of the change in plans due to COVID and offered us a discount on our elopement package. I cannot imagine our elopement without her - she captured our day SO perfectly. People who couldn’t make it have told me they feel like they were there by the way she captured every moment. She is so laid back and such a sweet soul! We felt so comfortable with her, as did everyone else. She blended in so well, it was like she was a part of the family. I am looking forward to having her shoot our postponed wedding party next summer! And a hike together :) Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Natalie! So glad we found you on The Knot!

or us here in Oregon. We had never taken professional photos before so we were quite nervous but WOW, Natalie put us at ease and produced the most amazing photos that really show our personalities. From the very beginning, Natalie was easy to work with by answering all my questions throughout the booking process. She truly listened to our vision for these photos and then chose the perfection location for us. During the photo session, Natalie made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Nothing felt staged or forced and it was FUN! By the end of the day, my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much. Natalie’s eye for capturing the moment is outstanding! The photos she provided us are absolutely stunning and we will cherish them forever. We hope to have the opportunity to work with Natalie again and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of professional photos. Thank you!!

ing photographer, Here Today Photography amazed us with their ability to capture the real and raw moments. I cried and laughed as I looked through the portfolio photos of weddings. I felt as if I was present in the photograph and experiencing the love and pure happiness the couples felt. We called Natalie immediately, and she was the first vendor we booked as we knew it was the perfect fit. I could write pages about how thankful we are to have met someone who is as passionate, talented, and kindhearted as Natalie. Our story is a bit different from other weddings, as we are one of the couples who has been impacted by Covid-19. Our large wedding was canceled, and we were at a loss. Our loved ones health and safety mattered above all else. When I called Natalie, heartbroken that everything we had planned for years was now altered, she expressed heartbreak, compassion, and understanding. Natalie collaborated with us, and navigated through multiple changes in plans and the public health concerns. Love won, and we decided to elope with our parents and siblings on our original wedding date. The day of our wedding Natalie became part of the family. With only 12 guests, having a photographer who doesn’t blend in but becomes part of the family astonished us and made for a natural flow of events. When the clouds rolled in and the rain persisted, we started to worry, but then I saw Natalie, she had come early and was exploring the venue. The first thing she said was how stunning the drive was and she took a detour to capture the beauty of the mountains in the storm. She saw beauty and art in the rain, and at that moment I also saw the beauty in the stormy landscape. Neither a pandemic nor a summer storm would stop us. Natalie buzzed around our venue and captured every moment, from set up, hair and makeup, to the clouds rolling in over the mountains. We had discussed over the phone and through email leading up to our wedding what specifics we wanted and our vision for the day. This planning made the day flow smoothly as we knew there was no need to worry about the photography, our attention was on our family and the blissful moments of our wedding day. From the small details to the bold mountains and stormy skies, Natalie captured it all. We are so thrilled with our photos and the overall experiences we had, we couldn’t recommend Here Today Photography enough!!!

minutes, she found amazing angles that didn’t include other people in the background and framed us in flowers. On the wedding day, we were in daisy fields and filbert orchards, and Natalie highlighted the naturally beauty around us as well as making us the focus of each photo. Natalie’s style of capturing candid moments is so unique and authentic. My husband’s favorite thing about working with Natalie is how comfortable she made us feel while taking our photos. He tells everyone how she mades us laugh together from silly kissing tasks, walking while bumping hips, and her newly wed game. I’ve had other photographers at friends and family weddings say they like candid photos but make the group feel bad for not knowing how to be candid on their own. Candid photos don’t just happen when you’re dressed up and standing in front of a stranger. Natalie’s tricks lead to comfortable and fun moments, which make you forget that you’re having your photo taken and fantastic candid photos. She’s also just on it with photography timing of fun moments. For example, she suggested that I move my wedding dress to the window for better light, which is a clever strategy for candid photos, but she was also watching and taking photos of my friends getting ready at the same time. Natalie is incredibly friendly while also giving people space to be present with each other. While taking photos on the wedding day, she connected with my family and friends. She sang our silly songs with us, accepted random candy from my brother, and joked with my dad about flashlights because of what she had read on our wedding website. I love that she took the time to get to know us as a couple and our family and friends before the wedding day by reading what we posted online and talking with everyone on the day. She expertly balances talking to guests with blending into the background when necessary. It also felt like having another guest instead of stranger at the wedding, which is another reason why I HIGHLY recommend having her do engagement photos before the wedding. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully, made me feel more excited about wedding day, and were great for the saved the dates. More than her photography, her writing about each event she attends is magical. She writes about the vibe of the couple and the day with such descriptive and touching words! Logistically, her emailing etiquette is prompt, friendly, detailed, understandable, and sounds just like her in person. The couple times that she couldn’t reply with as much detail as she wanted, she would reply saying what she was doing (usually exploring in nature or photographing another event) and when she would be able to answer more thoroughly then followed through well! We also talked on the phone before our engagement session to finalize details and texted during the day, all of which went smoothly! As I mentioned before, her pricing is so reasonable, and another reason to hire her for any event. Our wedding plans changed a ton, and Natalie was flexible and understanding the whole way through!! I recommend Here Today Photography to anyone wanting photographs from engagement sessions, weddings, maternity, and especially elopements. My husband agreed we could work with Natalie again soon, and I can’t wait!

tal, he couldn’t come out to share our day, he sat on the other side of the window. The photos turned out beautiful and she made sure everything was accommodated for. We had two people fall through and honestly I’m so thankful they did because I couldn’t be more happy with the way things turned out. She is a 10/10 and you are missing out if you don’t choose to go with her.

elped make our day so easy and special. The photos she captured turned out better than we could have hoped, and we love the fact that many of her shots are candid and not overly posed. We cannot recommend Natalie highly enough and will certainly use her services again in the future. Thank you, Natalie!

able to capture all of our clients' dreamy moments so beautifully <3 As a wedding planner, I really appreciate photographers like Natalie :) Highly recommend! Thanks Natalie! <3 Jojo, SixteenFourteen Events

rs and candidness found in a lot of her photos. She was friendly from the get go and always responsive when I had questions, so her communication was much appreciated. Even though I likely hadn't articulated very well how I wanted the photos to look, she delivered exactly what I wanted. I can't recommend Natalie enough!

or itself. Beyond her stunning art behind the lens and ability to see and capture the unexpected moments that matter most, she is an extraordinarily authentic, caring person and we feel beyond grateful and lucky to have her as part of our wedding team. Our wedding needed to be postponed due to COVID, and as we were in our lowest moment, Natalie was there by our sides through the process.. and even managed to make me laugh a bit too! Through our now extended engagement, we cannot stress enough the importance of relationships with the wedding vendor team.. and your photographer in particular is such an intimate part of the day. We couldn’t imagine having our wedding without Natalie - not only capturing the day - but also being there as an important part of our wedding story.

hing a bride could hope for! THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN for capturing our wedding day!

honest moments of whatever your event might be. There are a million things going on the day of a wedding and she is able to help capture the little moments that sometimes go unseen in the crazy blur of the day. Her photos are beautiful and timeless, and she is able to capture the emotion of this pivotal moment in your life with grace and ease. Not only is she easy to work with and super fast (we got our sneak peak in 72 hours!), Natalie as a person is a true gem. She is sweet, down to earth and truly invests herself into your relationship and day. We felt like we also gained a friend throughout this whole experience. We will be recommending her to anyone and everyone who will listen!

ssional photos and were nervous that we would appear too posed, but Natalie immediately made us feel at ease. Natalie has an incredible gift for truly capturing real moments and telling a story with her photos. Looking through our gallery feels like getting to relive the entire day again and we will cherish our photos forever. Our family and friends could not stop talking about how incredible and sweet Natalie was during the wedding, and now they can’t stop talking about how amazing her photographs are! We would recommend Natalie in a heartbeat and are so overjoyed with how she captured our day…thank you Natalie!

d method of walking through the day and our wishes/requests really helped guide us to the types of photos we wanted, not to mention the important planning aspects we hadn't yet considered. Without that experience and communication, we would have been absolutely lost on the big day! We immediately fell in love with Natalie's photos the second we looked at her portfolio. Amazingly, she has a fantastic natural eye for taking the perfect photos - whether candid or staged. Her method of being a fly on the wall during the chaos of getting ready and the elation after the big event really allows her to capture the real emotions and excitement that we felt throughout the entire day, and it's truly something that every couple deserves. We never anticipated being so pleased with pictures of ourselves, especially with photos that so accurately and naturally captured our personalities. When we shared our photos online, a friend of ours commented that these photos were the "best wedding pics I've ever seen from my friends list." Even more amazingly, Natalie stayed cool and calm under all the pressure, chaos, and excitement of the big day. She helped us make sure that we not only got fantastic candid photos, but our staged photos included various groups of the entire family/bridal party. Simply put, these are the best photos we have ever seen and everything we wanted from our wedding photographs.

elpful leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day Natalie was so pleasant to have around and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is incredibly talented and has an amazing ability to capture all the genuine emotions and spontaneous moments during the wedding. The quality of our photos was beyond anything we imagined - every time we look through the pictures it feels like we get to relive the day.

moments among loved ones. She captured our personalities and the feelings of the day. She's also a delightful person to be around. She's easy-going, reliable, and easy to work with. She gave us direction for posing but everything still felt very natural. Her style is photojournalistic, which she explained from our first phone call. If it is important to you to have a lot of posed and formal photographs of your wedding, I don't think Natalie would be the right photographer for you. But for us, her style was perfect. Again, we are so lucky to have worked with her, and I highly recommend hiring Natalie for your wedding!

to be ourselves and then doing her magic to capture the moments we never want to forget. She got some shots that I had no idea I would want of our wedding, especially shots of our family and friend's faces throughout the day. She truly is a photo ninja and we have so many beautiful shots from our wedding that is impossible to choose a favorite. Thank you again Natalie!

She was also a joy to work with day of calming, kind and funny (we joked around a lot day of and she was on board :) . Before the wedding she was super easy to work with and made sure to find out ahead of time if there were any specific photos we wanted. We got our pictures back shortly after the wedding and LOVE them. Hopefully we'll get to work with her again in the future! I cannot recommend her enough her work is wonderful and so is she.

er for our engagement photoshoot bc she got to learn about who we are as a couple and as individuals. She’s very observant and intentional. She knew what was important to us on our wedding day and captured everything so well! We trusted her and her work exceeded our expectations! Our wedding was filled with lots of love, laughter, fun, drinking, dancing, and even tears (both happy and sad); and she captured all of that on camera. We know we chose the right person when we love ALL the pictures, when family/friends have commended us on our photographer-choice, and when we ask her for a 3rd photoshoot (post-wedding). We are just in love with Natalie’s work and highly recommend her for any photography need. She’s awesome!

our families, especially when she had a lovely conversation with my husband's grandmother who came to the wedding from Honduras. You can't ask for a better photographer, I can't wait to get these printed and on my wall, It will be hard to choose which ones!

ver again I'd definitely book her again!

ng. We were adamant about not having photos that were too “posed”, she listened to all of our wants and must haves and our photos turned out absolutely perfect! Couldn’t have asked for anything better. I would recommend her any day for anything. Thank you Natalie!

onderful to have Natalie there to make it easy and pull you and your love away from the craziness to have a quiet moment together. Her work is beautiful, and it was such a nice experience. Definately would recommend for anyone.

real love. Her pictures told a story unlike anything we had ever seen. Natalie was such a treat to work with. She was so easy to get a hold of with questions and she made sure to reach out to us leading up to the wedding with details and a run through of the plan for the day-of. Natalie was such a blessing on our wedding day. She captured our family and our story in such a beautiful way. She helped us stay calm and comfortable the entire day. She scouted out the perfect spots at our venue to take our pictures and they turned out better than we ever imagines. We just got our pictures back and we can't wait to display them for years to come. Natalie was in touch after the wedding with a sneak peak and updates about when we could be expecting our pictures (which was so kind!). We hope to work with her again in the future.

souri I only had reviews to go by when hiring vendors. There were so many wonderful reviews about Here Today Photography so I took a chance & I'm so glad that I did! Natalie was so easy to work with, prompt & timely in communication. She met with me several times to get to know me, more about my now husband & our expectations for our wedding day photos. The day of our wedding she showed up & everyone loved her! She was sweet, genuine & really put us at ease. Our wedding photos turned out beautiful & I'm so glad we hired Natalie for our special day. Definitely one of the best decisions I made as she helped make the day calm, beautiful & stress free. Thank you, Natalie! You're the best!

mmunication before and after the wedding day was great and we'd recommend her to anyone! The photos are great too, of course!

e'll treasure them forever. 10/10 would get married again, 10/10 would hire Natalie again.

Absolutely loved having her capture our wedding, with candids of the real and raw moments that mean so much. Thank you Natalie for everything!

her, and we sure did! Natalie is helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and very fun. Also, the prices are very fair. We would recommend Here Today Photography to anyone looking to capture a special moment!
