Nate Puhr (photo + cinema)

nd’s End in SF for our engagement shoot. Despite being there multiple times, when we arrived, Nate was out scouting locations. I mean, talk about thorough. As soon as you meet Nate, you feel at ease. He’s not bossy and he doesn’t over-manipulate your poses. He gives you the guidelines and just lets you go. It’s a very calm and fun experience shooting with him. On our wedding day, Nate was early, ready when we were. It’s hard to put into words... but Nate has a way of seamlessly fitting into his surroundings, while also quietly directing the day. It’s puts you at ease and makes for a super relaxing wedding day. What else can you ask for on the most stress-inducing day of your life? :) We got back hundreds of the most beautifully crafted photos that capture the emotion and excitement of the day, each carefully filed into folders ready for download. Nate as a professional is extremely responsive, very reassuring, and very easy going. He was absolutely the best choice of photographer/videographer that we could have made, and I highly recommend him. Nate - you’re the best! :)

I didn't want to cut corners on. I wanted it to feel rich and authentic and emotional. Too often wedding videos feel hokey or cheesy or trite. That was not an option for me, and that was exactly why I chose Nate. The wedding video was absolutely incredible. Most beautiful wedding film I have ever seen (and not just because it was mine). When watching the video, I couldn't believe what I was seeing - he had SO many angles and shots. And they blended so beautifully together to paint an entire picture. But I remember thinking to myself "how does he have so many different angles and shots? I don't even remember seeing a single camera the entire ceremony or reception!" And then I received the raw wedding footage and thats when it all clicked. I saw first hand just how any different cameras nate had set up, all running the entire ceremony and reception, to capture every possible emotion and perspective: MULTIPLE cameras as I walked down the aisle (getting shots from the front and back), multiple cameras focused tight on myself and tight on my groom during the ceremony, a camera with a medium shot to get the perspective from the guests in the pews, a camera moving around getting artistic shots as we said our vows, a camera focused on the priest, FOUR cameras on myself and my husband during our first dance, I could go on and on. But the craziest part... you couldn't feel or see the cameras during it. He was that good. They were so discreetly placed, and those efforts led to an absolutely incredible film. He could have very easily just popped a camera or two on a tripod and called it a day... and it STILL would have been a beautiful film. But he took it so much further. The raw footage truly revealed just how hard Nate and his team worked. They didn't cut a single corner. They treated this day like it was the biggest day of their careers.... and I know they treat every wedding that way. His efforts and care are unmatched, and his skill .... just wow. Like I said, never seen anything like it.

u for your wedding day, I urge you to RUN...not walk.. to Nate and his team. I do not have the words to describe not only Nate's talents, but his professionalism. I'll start with his talents. You can probably already see from his portfolio of work that his photos and video are remarkable... outstanding... and that's when you're looking at complete strangers. I assure you when you receive the emails that YOUR photos and/or video has been delivered, you will cry, laugh, cry some more.... it will be the greatest gift you've ever received. I have no doubt. I know this from personal experience, of course. My wedding photography and videography were my number one absolute priority. Nate was the very first vendor I booked (and I booked him 18 months out! That's how badly I wanted him). If Nate wouldn't have been available for my wedding date, trust me.... I would have changed the date. I had high expectations for my photos and video. And I admit, I can be a hard person to please. But I can't describe to you just how perfect his photos and videos of our wedding were. This will surely be the greatest investment you've ever made. Nate and his team dealt with literally 18 months of emails and requests from me. He was always overly kind, patient, and available (even when he had dozens and dozens of other brides he was working with). He always gave me his full and undivided attention. He was overly generous with his time, talents, and team. He never charged me more than what we discussed, yet he gave me SO much more than he promised .To say he over delivered would be understatement. When I look at my photos and videos, every detail, every glimmer of a smile, every emotion is captured so beautifully. Yet, I never once felt a camera. Ever. The whole day. I seriously don't know how he did it. I hired him for both photography and videography andI I highly recommend any other bride do the same. He brought his whole team and they worked harmoniously and perfectly together... understanding together what they needed to achieve and helping each other achieve it. The photos fit the video perfectly and the video fits the photos perfectly. It is magic. When I received my video, I was in awe of how you took hours and hours of footage and managed to create the perfect 8 minute video, of everything that matters most to me. It literally was like he was in my head. And knew exactly the things that speak most to my heart and our families. And he wove it together so seamlessly into the most beautiful, compelling story I have ever seen. The gratitude I have for Nate and his team is indescribable. You need to book him. Now.

e wedding day and right away he made everyone feel at ease, in fact his presence was so calm it just felt like a friend in the background. One thing I did not want in our photographer was someone who would pause the festivities to pose us, or redo a shot. Nate quietly got all the shots we requested and more and the photos came our spectacular! I absolutely love that during the ceremony he got so many shots from all different angles, but I didn't notice him once. He went above and beyond with the sneak peek and delivered 50+ photos to us 2 days after the wedding to hold us over before delivering the final set. Nate is a true professional and I would recommend him to anyone.

te for photo and videography. Our pictures and video teaser are amazing. He truly captured the moments throughout the day.

not to mention, we love how he captured our wedding day. We highly recommend using Nate!

lm, flexible, and was great with everyone in our wedding party. If Nate isn't available for your wedding...MOVE YOUR DATE!

details of our travels, with no hopes of it working out—he lived in FL and we were going to be visiting Yosemite, CA after our recent engagement. By pure chance, Nate + Lori were going to be in California, near Yosemite during the same weekend. We couldn't believe the timing, it was almost like fate. They were the absolute sweetest! They not only made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, but they were so comfortable to be around, it felt like catching up with old friends. From Nate and our suggestions, we had multiple locations in mind and Nate + Lori made everything work seamlessly. It was hands down the highlight of our trip! We can't say enough good things about them and we would recommend them in a heartbeat.

However, everyone's work was nothing compared to his. And I was super excited I had him for my wedding! Words cannot describe how happy I am with Nate's work. His pictures and video were flawless! And I also loved his easy going personality... this really helped me to feel SUPER comfortable when taking pictures. Choosing Nate to be my photographer/videographer.... (hands down) the best decision I made for my wedding!
