In January 2013 my bride-to-be and I planned a wedding engagement party at an authentic Italian restaurant in North Seattle WA. We asked Nathan Shute Photography to capture the mo...
ment, and were not disappointed. Nathan and his wife Brianna Shute teamed up in way that blended in with the 30 guests during a private dinner in the restaurant. Nathan's eye for capturing a moment during the event was incredible, and helped to make a lasting memory that we and our friends still talk about. Thank you Nathan & Brianna

rge engagement photo as a surprise gift for my daughters engagement party for all her guest to sign the border.

s perfectly. I would highly recommend them to all!
These two were absolutely fantastic and helped make my wedding day so memorable. We started a few yrs ago with some family shots. Nathan let us pick the place and took some posed s...
hots but mostly captured our family in action. We instantly fell in love with his work. When we finally decided to get married we knew immediately that Nathan Shute photography was exactly who we needed for the job. Unfortunately he had moved to California. He was however able to squeeze us in for our engagement shots on a trip he had planned here in Washington. He also made it for the big wedding day. Needless to say our photos are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We were so blown away by both the engagement and wedding photos. We can basically relive the entire day anytime we want by just looking through the pictures. He is so open to ideas but also has an amazing vision of his own which makes it the perfect balance. 100% satisfaction from both my husband and I and eternally grateful for all their amazing work.
I cannot say enough good things about Nathan. I experienced every bride’s worst nightmare, my photographer did not show up! Nathan was able to come right away and jumped right into...
capturing the wedding festivities. He seemed to be in all the right places at the right times and truly has an intuitive ability to capture some great moments. The next day he posted a few of my photos on Facebook and I was blown away! He has an incredible eye and I love my photos. I would highly recommend him. He is professional, artistic, and an overall great photographer. Thank you Nathan!
I worked a wedding with Nathan and Brianna. I did flowers and they sent me the pictures for my portfolio.
I was so impressed!
The bride was also awestruck.
Nathan has such an e...
ye for details. There are many photographers, but you will not get the quality that Nathan provides.
He also has a great turn around time and sends you some teasers to go "ahhhh" over.
They were also so easy to work with and friendly.
I'd recommend them to anyone, not only for weddings, but for any occasion that calls for a photographer!
