The pictures are absolutely stunning and everyone we show are in awe of how gorgeous they are. Tons of compliments have been given to the photographers! We highly recommend you!
Natalie was just a great pick for mine and my husbands wedding! We live in a different state so we had to base our choice off of photos and communication and both were 10/10. I loved how she kept her photos edited natural and cool. Communication was also great - she would respond almost immediately. Natalie got all our photos done efficiently so we could also enjoy our celebration, but never rushed us either! Our photos were sent to us right on time and we had so many to choose from! Overly satisfied with our choice.
We loved working with Natalie! She took both our engagement and wedding photos. They are all incredibly beautiful and I know I will treasure them forever! Natalie communicated quickly throughout the whole process and was happy to answer any questions we had. On the wedding day, she made sure to capture details, candid photos, and formal portraits. We loved working with her and would highly recommend her!
Oh my goodness… where to start!?! This girl is absolutely AMAZING!!! I had a destination wedding, and could not have been happier with the photos! Natalie is very professional and creative! She helped my husband and I create the best photos and memories!
If you are hesitant to book a photographer for your destination wedding, I truly recommend Natalie!!
The photos are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Natalie is an amazing photographer for our wedding! She was able to work with me when we had to switch up the venue, days before the wedding. The work she does is absolutely stunning and I will love my wedding photos forever! Thank you Natalie for everything.
Natalie was amazing for our wedding photos. The pictures themselves turned out fantastic, her coverage was great, she kept us on time for getting the pretty sun setting sky shots we wanted, and actually getting through all of the photos was really fun, easy, and smooth with her guidance. We had great talks ahead of time so when she showed up on the day she knew exactly what shots we were getting and who should be in them and she made it all run so smooth, it was amazing. When we got our photos back it was great to see all of the details she captured through the whole day that we didn't even get a chance to take in on the day! I highly recommend her, hands down. She was pleasant to work with, very professional, good energy, calm when it felt like we were herding cats (or my dog), the photos came out beautifully and I cannot recommend her enough.
My fiance and I are from Ohio but knew we wanted to take our pictures on the beach. We ended up taking a family vacation to Outer Banks so I knew this would be the perfect opportunity for beach pictures! I looked up photographers in the Outer Banks area and found Natalie!
I immediately looked at her Instagram and her website and her editing style was exactly what we were looking for, very light and airy.
Natalie made us feel so comfortable and was very laid back and fun! She even asked us if there was any pictures specifically I wanted to take which I thought was so awesome to incorporate some of our ideas. We also received our pictures back in the timeline that Natalie told us.
We highly recommend Natalie for ANY type of pictures you're looking for! We hope to use Natalie again in the future for family photos at the beach!
My wedding pictures turned out amazing! I love the softness of her pictures. I gave 4/5 because communication was a little spotty here and there but all and all I would use her again!
We absolutely loved the engagement photos that Natalie took of us in the Outer Banks! Natalie was very professional and knowledgeable. We had so much fun during our engagement session. The photos came out even more amazing than we could have imagined! We highly recommend Natalie as a photographer!
Natalie was absolutely great and wonderful to work with! She made our wedding day so much easier! If you’re planning on having a wedding in the Outer Banks NC I 1000% recommend contacting Natalie!
We would highly recommend Natalie. She was so much more than a photographer. We had the parents and Bride and Groom in (3) time zones. Natalie offered (2) suggested timelines from the ceremony thru the Bride & Groom's departure. We kept her timeline thru the entire process. Knowing the venue, she made suggestions for lighting and decor to ensure her photographs would capture the moments. The portraits of the Bride and Groom were gorgeous. She provided thousands of the ceremony and reception that if you click quickly, it is almost a real life capture. She was patient and a little ball of energy. Highly recommend!
Natalie was wonderful to work with! The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, better than expected. She was able to take advantage of the scenery we had. Natalie was very kind to the entire family and wedding party. She remained very professional, and asked exactly what I needed and wanted as the bride. I couldn't thank her enough.
Natalie was extremely easy to work with, extremely professional, and took amazing beautiful photos! We love both the candids and portraits she captured of our ceremony and after.
Natalie was simply a pleasure to work with. After our original photographer canceled our contract, Natalie was prompt, responsive, and experienced. We hired her in August 2023 for our November 2023 wedding. She provided detailed instructions and timeline for our day. She provided example galleries to help make decisions regarding locations for bridal portraits/engagement photos. She delivered online galleries within quoted timelines, even throughout the holiday season. Natalie was very experienced with working with our venue, the Kitty Hawk Pier House, and knew all the right angles to get the perfect shot. I loved that our online wedding gallery was divided into the different aspects of the day (i.e., getting ready, first look, bridal party, ceremony, family photos, and reception). It made viewing the photos for the first time so fun and easy to navigate for purchasing prints and albums. I would highly recommend Natalie for any of your photography needs if you enjoy a bright, airy, and natural style of editing. She was laid back, easy going, and made sure we got all the photos we were wanting to capture to look back on of our special day.
The pictures are amazing! Thank you for everything! From booking through delivery, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Far exceeded our expectations..and they were high! Thank you!!
We are so happy with our pictures! So beautiful! Natalie was so easy to work with. Gave great guidance and got so many pictures we weren't even aware of. It was so wonderful to relive the day through the pictures.

Our wedding pictures are INCREDIBLE! It was so nice to reflect back on the day through them. I can’t thank Natalie enough for helping make this dream become reality and for being such a genuine person and so fun to work with.

I absolutely love my wedding pictures!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication, to making our day so special! All the moments were captured beautifully! Thank you for spending your day with us. We will cherish the pictures for years to come!!
Natalie did the pictures for my son and new daughter-in-law’s wedding on the beach in the Outer Banks. It was a beautiful day and her pictures were phenomenal. Every angle and the lighting and just the natural happiness that she was able to capture even in the informal pictures was sure really great. I would highly recommend her for any event.
Natalie was great! Loved all her suggestions beforehand - she had great tips and was very organized. The photos turned out wonderful!
Natalie was absolutely amazing to work with! We can both be a bit awkward and camera shy at times. Natalie helps you feel relaxed and comfortable and knows the best spots and poses to help capture you both beautifully and authentically. After we saw our engagement photos, we had no doubt that our wedding photos would turn out amazing as well. Natalie also assisted with some last minute wedding day logistics. We had no idea where we wanted to do our first look photos but she helped us find the perfect spot. And when we were in a bit of a time crunch before the guests arrived, she still managed to get some amazing pictures while making sure I got safely hidden away in time! We would definitely use Natalie again for any photos in the future and highly recommend her if you are getting married in the Outer Banks!
Natalie was amazing! We had a hurricane come in right before our big day and even though the day was not as pictured, Natalie took the time to stand on a freezing cold beach to get the shots my heart was set on! So professional and sweet but she didn’t bat an eye at my crazy family’s shenanigans!
Simply the best!! Natalie was an absolute dream to work with! From the moment we reached out, she was responsive, helpful, and compassionate. Her pictures are absolutely stunning as well! She has a natural talent/eye for photography and made us feel so comfortable throughout our big day. On top of everything she does, she was a tremendous help with developing the timeline of the day and helped ease the stresses of planning a wedding from 3,000 miles away.
We appreciate all you did for us, Natalie, and can't wait to cherish your beautiful photos for a lifetime! Thank you for everything!!
I could not be more thrilled with the experience we had with Natalie. When planning our wedding, photos were one of the most important aspects to me. I was immediately attracted to Natalie's photos soft lighting and artistic flair. We used her for both our engagement shoot and wedding day and all the photos turned out stunning. She gave so many photos options that we have so many favorites, and seeing as we are not the most photogenic couple was something we worried about. Not only are the photos beautiful, Natalie is a treat to work with. Her nature is so calming and she truly captured our love in a stunning way. She also gave plenty of pose suggestions but was also open to suggestions which gave a ton of variety. I have zero regrets about Natalie and am excited to use her for family photos in the future.
Natalie was fantastic to work with! I was immediately attracted to her "soft lighting" style when looking at her portfolio. My husband and I utilized her for our engagement and wedding photos and both sets turned out gorgeous. She was a great communicator, organized, and offered sample timelines and suggestions on how to make the most of your photo session(s) (she sent us a whole packet!). The only problem I have is choosing photos for a photo album as there are so many great ones! She worked with many of my vendors that I selected and all were incredibly happy when I mentioned she was my photographer. Great to work with - cannot recommend enough.
Natalie is amazing! She was very responsive, professional, and organized. She did a great job of asking the right questions to determine what we wanted during our big day and made us feel so comfortable. The pictures are gorgeous and she captured so many great candid shots. We'll treasure these pictures for the rest of our lives.
Natalie's landscape photography and soft lighting edits are what attracted me in the beginning. With these skills, I knew she would be able to capture beautiful photos of our bride/groom portraits and our wedding in general. They turned out absolutely gorgeous.
Personally & professionally, Natalie is very calm and efficient - seriously the best combo of a personality type that you could ever want as a photographer. My Dad even told me: "You never knew she was there but she got it all done". She was also extremely flexible and stayed a little later than originally planned because the schedule moved a little slower than we intended. She even helped coordinate parts of our night with our DJ because my wedding coordinator wasn't able to make it last minute due to Covid.
Natalie really went out of her way to make our day magical, and we couldn't have done it without her. Thanks, Natalie!
My husband and I used Natalie for our engagement and wedding photos. She does a wonderful job and is great to work with! We would highly recommend!
Natalie was fantastic in every way. From the start, she was extremely responsive, professional, and organized. Planning my wedding from states away I was anxious. Natalie went above and beyond to make sure my wedding went smoothly. Not only did she make us feel comfortable on our big day - but her pictures turned out absolutely stunning. 100% recommend Natalie!
Natalie was everything we could’ve hoped for. Her work speaks for itself, she is an absolute artist, our photos are gorgeous! But even beyond that is her personality. She was easy to work with, calm cool and collected, positive, encouraging, and patient. We were so well cared for, she put us at ease and worked well with others. The turn-around time and the organization of the photos were perfect. We were so lucky to have found her!
AMAZING. Natalie was great to work with. She did an engagement shoot as well as our wedding. Natalie knew exactly what we wanted. Even though we live in New Jersey, through phone calls and email, it was coordinated perfectly. The final photos are fantastic. We couldn't love them more. Thank you, Natalie for capturing our special day!!
TLDR; Natalie was a fantastic choice and we couldn't be happier. Choosing a vendor without meeting them in person can be tough, especially for destination weddings, but Natalie is awesome and made the process a breeze!
We had one of the dreaded COVID weddings - but Natalie was a huge help through the process. She was responsive and flexible when we had to make the difficult decision to postpone our wedding. Once we were back on track, she was communicative and helpful in terms of getting our plans sorted, even providing a very clear guide for our friend who was officiating to help put her at ease. Natalie set very clear guidelines in terms of what she needed from us to make the day go smoothly and then was able to be flexible during our wedding day when we decided to changes things at the last moment.
The photos themselves - fantastic quality photos, she captured the spirit of the day terrifically and caught our guests in the best action shots. She managed to cover almost all aspects of the day, despite all the things happening that day! Our digital files arrived on a beautiful wooden thumb-drive, which was such a lovely touch, and her online gallery made it easy for our family members to order prints of their favorite shots. We are so glad we worked with Natalie and highly recommend her.
From the first phone call with Natalie, I knew I would have no worries. She was able to tune into exactly what I wanted without me even being able to verbalize it! Formal photos, fun photos, romantic photos, silly photos: all amazing. There is not an adjective powerful enough to describe how incredible the pictures turned out! I would implore anyone looking to hire a photographer to use Natalie. There is no way you will be disappointed!
Thank you Natalie!!!
Natalie is hands down the best beach photographer! We have had the pleasure of having her do our outstanding engagement photos, our wedding photos, and soon to come - our maternity photos. She captures the love between two people beautifully, and it’s so hard to pick which photos are our favorites because there are SO many! She is prompt with responding to her clients and great at communicating! Highly recommend to anyone looking for phenomenal beach photos!
My husband and I knew we wanted to get married in OBX from the start. After getting engaged there, we began researching all the area has to offer and quickly found Natalie Heim. Her traditional photography has such a dreamy, natural touch while also offering multiple affordable options. Covid threw our wedding plans quite a few curve balls but Natalie stuck right with us through multiple changes. She was very helpful in planning a timeline and also sticking to it while being flexible on the day of the wedding. We would definitely recommend her for any and all wedding styles.
We used Natalie for both our engagement photos and our wedding and could not be happier.
On the day of our engagement photos the weather was not exactly cooperating but even with the wind, bits of rain and cold weather our photos turned out amazing!
For the wedding Natalie was great to work with not only on the day of the wedding but leading up to the wedding and after. She was always in contact to answer any questions and thorough with pre-wedding check-ins to make sure you were able to get all the pictures that you wanted. On the day of the wedding she was everywhere it seemed! She was able to capture so many amazing moments of our special day. There are so many amazing pictures we have had trouble deciding which to have enlarged and printed. After the wedding, Natalie reached out with a timeline for completion of photos and even gave us two sneak-peak sets of photos. Overall, we could not be happier and we look forward to using Natalie again for more photos!
When looking for a photographer to capture our engagement photos and later our wedding photos, Natalie's work instantly grabbed my attention because of her natural, "light and airy" feel. Her expertise, kindness, communication, attention to detail, and flexibility made her an absolute joy to work with and there was no one else I trusted with capturing our special day and all of its moments! The photos exceeded all of my expectations and I feel so blessed to have had her there - her work is truly the best and she even helped me navigate the schedule the day of with ease and kept us all on time. We are still getting compliments from our family and friends at how amazing the shots are that she took. Thank you Natalie for all that you did for us and being a part of our big day - we will cherish these incredible photographs forever!!!
We knew when we saw Natalie's work that we had to have her as our wedding day photographer. She is knowledgeable, super organized and so fun and easy to work with. All of our photos are absolutely stunning. She made sure that she knew exactly what we wanted for our photos and made sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. She got our photos back to us quickly and we can't stop gushing over them.
Natalie was awesome! She is an excellent photographer, which you can see from her photos, but she is also very professional, organized while also being very calm and laid back. She made sure that we got all the shots we wanted and then delivered them faster than we could have imagined! We loved working with Natalie and will absolutely be booking family photos with her next time we make it down to the Outer Banks. Thank you, Natalie!
We loved working with Natalie. She was extremely organized and detail oriented. My husband and I live in New Jersey and planned our entire wedding virtually. Natalie made us feel super comfortable and we are so lucky to have had her photograph our special day!
Natalie was absolutely amazing during the whole process. 2020 has been anything but easy when it came to planning a wedding, but she was always so responsive and willing to help move things around/change things up as we were hit with different restrictions. We ended up having to move from a 70 person wedding/reception to just a 14 person small ceremony at a different venue and Natalie was so helpful in adjusting her schedule and dates to accommodate or wedding photos. She was incredible to work with and our photos turned out absolutely perfect and beautiful!!! Highly recommend Natalie for your engagement/wedding photos!!
Getting to work with Natalie for our wedding was truly a blessing! From the start it was very clear that she was highly experienced, professional, and also very personable. We were fortunate enough to get a sneak preview of her amazing photography when we had engagement pictures taken a few months before our wedding. As we got closer to our big day, she reached out and got on a phone call with us to help plan the day of timeline and photography details. This was extremely helpful in the planning process, nonetheless during the chaos of planning a COVID-19 wedding. She was honest, a pleasure to work with, beyond helpful and fun, and made sure to set expectations, which she always met. Most importantly though, her passion and ability for capturing the most beautiful pictures is unmatched. We are so in love with every photo and feel so fortunate to of had Natalie as our photographer for this special time in our lives!
Natalie was incredible during the entire process! She made it very easy to reschedule our May wedding to September due to COVID. Natalie was helpful in giving us great tips and ideas to have the amazing wedding photos we wanted! The photos from our wedding our AMAZING and Natalie and her assistant were sure to capture all the details and so many candid moments of everyone having a great time! We are so glad that our pictures capture our entire day from start to finish and are so happy with our decision to choose Natalie as our photographer. We had about 90 guests attend, and I definitely recommend getting the two photographers!
Natalie was wonderful! We had her photograph our engagement photos and our small wedding ceremony. She was incredible- relaxed, knowledgeable, and easy to work with! We were comfortable the entire time. Our pictures came out beautifully. She was very accommodating and open to our suggestions, wants, and needs. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone.
Natalie and Erin were amazing! They were easy going and captured our wedding beautifully. Planning a wedding in a pandemic can be stressful, but working with Natalie was easy. She was so responsive and helpful in suggestions on the timing of the day. I am so grateful that I booked her- it was an amazing experience and the photos are outstanding!
Natalie was very patient with us. My side of the family was late to arrive for a few family portraits before our wedding, and she was very flexible to adjust our portrait schedule to accommodate.
She takes a lot of pictures! And offers many suggestions to provide the best lighting, angle, etc.
If you’re having a special event, or wanting to have family portraits while you’re at the Outer Banks, check her out! You won’t be disappointed!
Definitely recommend! Natalie was extremely great to work with. She was patient with our family group and was very comfortable to pose/work with. She knew the best time of day for our ceremony and got some of the best shots of both the wedding and our portraits. We cannot wait to use her photography in our future trips to the Outer Banks!
Highly recommend!! Natalie was amazing! She was so easy to communicate with before our wedding and showed up ready to go, and captured all of our wonderful memories and beyond what I could have even asked for! The photos were just gorgeous and she was so friendly! ❤️❤️
Natalie and her second photographer were completely outstanding. The week before our wedding was when Hurricane Dorian hit the Outer Banks. The Outer Banks had evacuated and we weren’t sure if we were still going to be able to have our wedding in Nags Head. If that wasn’t possible, our only other option was to have our wedding in Virginia Beach. Natalie and her team were willing to travel a couple of hours away so that she could still be a part of our day. This meant so much to me and took a huge amount of stress off of my plate. Natalie and her team made each member of our bridal party comfortable and brought genuine smiles out of all of us! Natalie has a true creative eye and knew exactly how to capture us to create amazing pictures that we will forever treasure. Since I was planning a destination wedding, Natalie’s clear and prompt communication was much appreciated to help make my planning process much smoother! Natalie was prompt with a turn around for our pictures and truly exceeded all expectations!
Natalie photographed our November wedding, as well as our engagement photos the previous June. Her absolutely beautiful photos speak for themselves, so instead, I'll speak about what a pleasure it was to work with her! We live out of state, so the planning and coordinating of having a destination wedding could have been extremely stressful. Thankfully, Natalie is extremely knowledgeable about everything from wedding day timelines, all the way down to sunset times. Natalie sent helpful wedding planning materials and conferred with the us to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. She created a shot list based on our conversations, which made the family portraits quick and easy. She filled every second of her time with us taking portraits both for our engagement session and wedding, so that we were left with even more poses than we ever hoped for! On top of it all, Natalie delivered our finished gallery faster than we ever imagined. We are so thankful to have beautiful images of our wedding that we will be proud of for the rest of our lives!
Natalie was amazing!! She is very professional in her work! She helped me from the moment I reached out to her about photography, she includes a sample timeline, potential shots, people to be included and everything that a person can imagine being necessary to make the day beautiful and seamless. My pictures are amazing and she captured every beautiful moment of our day. When I opened the photos it was like reliving the day again!! Perfection!! Thank.you for everything ❤
Natalie is an AMAZING photographer not only are her photos absolutely beautiful but she knows what she’s doing. Me and my husband got married and I was nervous about the photoshoot because I’m not a huge picture person. And she made me feel beautiful and comfortable. Plus she had fun with it too and It made me have fun! Very very professional and great work. 5 stars! I highly recommend her!
I cannot day enough amazing things about Natalie! She was on the phone with me for over an hour going over everything and everyone we wanted pictures with. She was so helpful and so organized. She came to two different house before the ceremony and then was willing to stand on the beach in the rain to capture our most special day. These pictures that she captured have made our wedding day feel like it’s still going on! We love her work. She was super sweet, and fun to work with. I highly suggest her for your photographer for any event!!!!
Natalie was so great to work with. My wedding day started a little rocky when my dress zipper broke, so I was a little frazzled and a little late and she put my right at ease and did not make me feel bad for running behind. She made taking pictures very fun, and was so organized, and had great communication, which was so important to me since we were in Pennsylvania planning our wedding in the outer banks. We just got our pictures back and they are so beautiful we have received so many compliments from everyone that sees them and we are so in love with the pictures. Thank you again Natalie!
We are so happy that we went with Natalie for our wedding day. She is absolutely wonderful to work with and answers emails quickly. Our wedding was in the Outer Banks but since we live in New Jersey we were unable to meet Natalie in person, however, we had a phone meeting to go over all of the details. The day of our wedding, Natalie was there on time, prepared and ready to capture our special day. Natalie was so easy going and fun to work with. We just received our photos last night and we couldn't be happier. Looking through the photos it brought us right back to our special day! We cant thank her enough. We highly recommend looking into Natalie Heim Photography for your special day! If we ever need professional pictures in the future we know exactly who to go to!
Natalie was amazing to work with! We loved our pictures and she was very easy to work with. Natalie was easy to communicate with and gave us great ideas and tips for our wedding day. Would highly recommend!!
Natalie was an amazing photographer for our wedding. Nearly 2 years later and we still are in awe of our photos! We even had an issue where we damaged our drive and she took care of it!!! Highly recommend those who are traveling to OBX to use her. I can't believe how good our photos look with very little guidance from us. Thanks Natalie!!
Natalie was great to work with. I would recommend booking her right away because she gives you access to a supportive facebook group and a wedding guide! She was so courteous and responded very quickly and professionally. I knew photos were the one thing I wouldn't have to worry about!
The entire process with Natalie was amazing, she captured every detail of the wedding that I could have hoped for and then some. She was simply amazing words can not express how wonderful it was to have her there.
Natalie was absolutely one of the best choices we made when planning our wedding! She was super responsive to all my questions (and I had a lot since we were planning from afar). She fit seamlessly into our day when she arrived and got all the pictures I asked for plus so many more! I had some specific shots I wanted for our portraits and she had printed out examples so we could pick and choose what we were comfortable with. I never had one worry in my mind that she was capturing everything we hoped for, and just like my husband, I would pick her again and again! If you are looking for a professional photographer to keep you calm and relaxed throughout the planning process and your big day--look no further!! Natalie is your girl!
