Natarsha N. Wright Photography

now now, I would have spent twice as much as we did without a second thought. Thanks to Natarsha and her team, we have beautiful photos of our wedding that we can enjoy for a lifetime. She emanates warmth, and her process is infused with kindness, patience, and fun. We were initially interested in working with Natarsha because all of her photos were colorful, lively, and attractive. She somehow managed to catch pictures of everyone looking natural—not overly posed—yet very, very, ridiculously good-looking. That’s what we wanted, and Natarsha MORE THAN DELIVERED! On top of that, she was incredible at managing our time during the day, managing to get all the formal portraits we asked for in a limited time, making sure everyone was where they needed to be, and ensuring that someone was always there to capture the most important moments, large and small. During our initial meeting, she told me about her process and her packages and asked me some questions. After the meeting, I asked her if she could share some images from indoor weddings (since our venue was indoor) and she was very accommodating. We quickly decided to book her and never looked back. The next step was to book our engagement shoot. If you are contemplating whether to do an engagement shoot---do it. We chose to have an informal engagement shoot in our apartment with our cats, followed by a formal session at the Library of Congress. Natarsha made us look like models. More importantly, she helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, tested poses where we look great (or ones that don’t work), and was so fun throughout. She was also very honest with us about when a pose wasn’t working right, which helped us get to trust her, too. After the engagement shoot, our next step was compiling a list of desired shoots. Throughout this time Natarsha kept open communication with us. She is extremely thoughtful – for example she knows I love cats, and would send me cute cat-related links online. Natarsha came to my final walkthrough at our venue and helped us scope out sights for the first look, family portraits, and rain locations. It was very important to me that we did all of our portraits and family pictures BEFORE the ceremony, so that all of us could enjoy the cocktail hour, and Natarsha took that choice seriously and honored it. Timing was tight and I was anxious we wouldn’t get it done, but Natarsha GOT IT DONE. And, she helped me feel calm and supported. With Natarsha there, all my anxiety melted away. At the wedding itself, she was perfect. She and her team were always where they needed to be. There were so many wonderful moments where they interacted kindly with my family and friends. They were so attentive to the lighting and making minor adjustments so that everyone looked their best. And when the dance party started they were out there in the thick of it! My family and friends were all raving about our amazing photographers. And now that we have our gorgeous pictures back, they are raving even more! The photos are exactly what I would have hoped for – joyous, lively, colorful, active, and fun. The wedding photographer is one of the most important vendors to select for your wedding. I urge you to work with Natarsha if you have the opportunity to do so. I promise you won’t regret it!
