Weddings by Nato

e ever could have dreamed of! She truly captured the magic of our wedding day, and for that, we're forever grateful. If you're in need of a wedding photographer, you will be SO HAPPY with Nato & her team. ❤️

ure us in a candid way and really made sure that everything felt authentic and easy. She had great ideas on what looked good and created an aesthetic for the photos that was unique to us. Nato and her team were also troopers about following us around in the cold (we had a December wedding and we wanted photos near the Hudson). To be honest, they were more okay with the cold than we were. ALSO - we received all of our photos and video in such a timely manner!!!! We had sneaks from the wedding very quickly and the full set faster than I ever thought was possible. We have friends who had their wedding months before us and are STILL waiting for there photos. 1000% recommend.

rather than posing for photos with a stranger. I was so thrilled that she sent us a sneak peek only a few days after the wedding! My wife and I have been just looking at the pictures over and over again-- they are so beautiful and special. I would recommend Nato a million times over!!

feel so comfortable and was so laid back throughout the entire day. We received our photos back and they are absolutely incredible. We can't stop looking at them. Actual perfection!! Thank you guys SO much - we are so insanely happy with everything. I'm telling you... stop looking now & BOOK THEM!

was super nervous but she totally put me at ease! She and videographer Dan were so easy to work with from the start- very professional yet made us feel so comfortable and honestly, took so much anxiety away. Another thing I really enjoyed was that they gave direction when needed while still letting it be our moment... it’s something I can totally see in our photos. (Bonus points to Dan for entertaining our little pup during some family photos, I loved that!) Everything felt so seamless with them even through the ceremony and reception as they blended in and captured moments. We opted for the highlight video and are so glad we did, so many little moments we shared and meaningful details were captured- mostly without us knowing! After the wedding, my sister in law commented that Nato was the nicest photographer of any wedding she had been to. Overall Nato and Dan were both so wonderful and I would highly, highly recommend them.

camera. But, Nato made us laugh, put us at ease, & captured the most beautiful, intimate, fun, seriously stunning & 🔥, meaningful moments of our day ❤️ Her & her team were super professional & reliable. We also worked with her videographer Joe who was equally wonderful & adept at making us feel at ease as he captured our big day! We can’t say enough good things about Nato. The truth is her pictures speak for themselves! She’s an artist & a really really cool person. Highly recommend. Thank you Nato!

. I loved working with her and love her work itself. The photos are always stunning. After just a sneak peak, I can't wait to see the rest!

stions I had, and she was a very go-with-the-flow person while also giving advice on what she knows works best for timing, location of photos, etc. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is getting married and in the process of choosing a photographer. It was one of the best wedding decisions we made! Thank you Nato! <3

mmended her to all of our engaged friends.

being in front of the camera. Nato's photos will give us great memories for years to come and would recommend her to anyone.

per easy personalities to hang out with on the day of and very efficient running between different locations. We felt very comfortable around them and when they needed to, they worked like mice - catching many great candies during the ceremony without anyone noticing them! We originally were only going to do photos but decided to do a video as well. Dan made a beautiful short film capturing the mood and highlights af the day. We highly recommend doing this - it’s adds a lot to the memories and he shot it while Nato shot photos so there was no extra posing involved. We just got back our photos and we’re so so please. They turned out just like her shots on the company Instagram. Highly highly recommend!

of the ceremony and the party, she blended in with the crowd but I felt like they were everywhere capturing so many moments. We’re in complete awe already, cannot wait to get the rest!!!

ith the flow. One of her associates, Gui, photographed our wedding. Nato and Gui were amazing and were so great on the day which had a lot of moving parts including a procession through the streets of New York. We received a sneak peak a few days later and we can't wait to see all of the photos.

immediately. She’s the best… book her ASAP and you’ll be saying the same. Nato's vision for photos is spectacular, and her eye for finding the perfect lighting is remarkable. Everyone is still talking about how amazing the photos are, and I’m SO thankful to Nato for capturing our night perfectly. From stunning detail photos, to fun in the moment smiling ear to ear photos, to elegant natural romantic photos… I’m still speechless. My husband and I are eternally grateful to Nato for capturing our night so beautifully. We can't stop looking at the photos and we feel so lucky we found such an incredible photographer and person. Nato, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

ography style for our wedding. She and her associate Fernando captured every aspect of the day wonderfully, in photographs we will treasure forever. We absolutely love our photos and we are so glad we made the right choice. Thank you Nato!!

for us on our wedding day! He and the second photographer, Madeline, were very sweet and receptive to our ideas and requests throughout the day. We have seen our sneak peak photos and they are beautiful... we can't wait to see all of the photos!

our wedding photos. Everything went so well and she maintained professionalism throughout. We are so glad to of found her and we have been telling everyone about her!

easy going and kept us calm in the moments before the ceremony. She made sure to capture even the tiniest of moments which in turn became the most cherished photos. I would HIGHLY recommend her

t for our wedding so we booked her almost immediately and we are so happy we did. I thought taking engagement and wedding photos might be awkward, but with Nato's great eye and natural ability to provide direction we not only ended up with gorgeous photos, but also had a fun time with the process. Beyond her excellent photography, Nato has a very calm and laid back vibe which was very much appreciated during stressful moments of planning and the wedding day. We also were lucky to have Gui as our assistant photographer and he was just as amazing to work with. We have received countless compliments on how beautiful our wedding photos are and we couldn't agree more. While our wedding day quickly came and went, we feel so lucky to have worked with Nato and Gui and are so grateful for the gorgeous photos that we will have for the rest of our lives!

understand her photography style. On the big day she was able to capture every moment and we are so happy with the end result. We can't wait for the opportunity to work with her again! If we could give 100 stars instead of 5, we would :)

g force amidst all the chaos and family dynamics that weddings usually stir up. She was always communicative, fun, patient, and managed our day wonderfully. She has a great eye and I never had any doubt that our photos would be any less than spectacular. One of my favorite wedding memories was sitting in a bar with her across the street from our venue waiting for our guests to finish arriving. She managed to sneak some great shots into a moment when we were just waiting to get started. I highly recommend Nato- you could not ask for a better photographer or advocate on your wedding day!

ice and we couldn't be happier. Everything was very natural- she provided some gentle direction but nothing was staged or awkward and for that I can't thank her enough. If you are looking for someone enthusiastic, professional and down for an adventure look no further. She has shot weddings all over the world and looking to add to her portfolio.

responsive, and helped us coordinate details that they were involved in (ie. What time to have the first look, where to take photos in/around the venue) and we absolutely loved working with Steph in person! I was prepared to feel awkward being photographed, but Steph made it fun and easy both for our engagement photos in Washington Square Park and photos the day of in Central Park and at the venue. The engagement and initial wedding photos turned out incredibly well – even my husband can’t stop looking at them (which is saying something!). Steph really has a phenomenal sense for what will look good and kept us comfortable and relaxed so that the photos look genuine instead of posed. She also made sure to get all of the key photos from “getting ready” the day of, to the first look, to the ceremony and reception. She is also very attentive – for example, after our ceremony, she had the idea to bring us up to the rooftop reception area quickly before the sun went down to get some sunset photos between the ceremony and the cocktail hour. We can’t wait to see the full album that Nato is editing! We are so glad we had Nato's team, and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

t; it's safe to say she captured all our special little moments, in love :) When we first met Nato, we felt like we've known her for years. Her personality is absolutely contagious and she is so much fun. Throughout the year of planning, Nato was not only professional, but super responsive and never made me feel like I was annoying her with my millions of questions :) And we are still in LOVE with our engagement photos; we are super awkward but she knew how to provide the right verbal cues to give us fun, candid and quirky pictures! Nato and Barbara were a wonderful team during our wedding. They also worked well with our videographer; it was their first time meeting but you would think they've worked with each other for years. And although we barely noticed them the entire night, our bridal party told us they noticed they were capturing ALL the little details and emotional parts of the wedding i.e. my dad bawling his eyes out as he looked into my eyes and my husband and I ridiculously raging to EDM all night like no one was in the room LOL We highly recommend Nato and her team. Cannot wait to continue to hit her up :)

motion. Nato also had a really calming presence that was so appreciated throughout the wedding day. Really loved working with Nato and would highly recommend her! Thank you for our gorgeous memories, Nato!

urals at taking photos, so early on I was a little worried that we wouldn’t take great engagement and wedding photos. My worries immediately went away once we started our engagement shoot with Nato. She is so great at her job and so fun that we were genuinely just having a great time and weren’t even worrying about the photos anymore, which resulted in some seriously amazing, natural looking photos! We had the same experience on our wedding day, and Nato and Gui also managed to get amazing candid shots from our ceremony and reception in the most unobtrusive way possible, which was super important to us! Nato sent so many sneak peaks to us so quickly after our wedding, all of which are absolutely beautiful and perfectly capture the vibe of the day. Overall, Nato and Gui exceeded all of our expectations, are so fun to work with, and we highly recommend hiring them!! Thank you Nato and Gui!!

ve our expectations. We look like models! What! But seriously, it was a truly stress-free and wonderful process working with them, and we're elated that we chose Weddings by Nato. If you're on the fence, pick them. You will be so very glad you did. <3

elsea and are from Massachusetts and Gui was so helpful in choosing beautiful back drops for the photos. He was also very patient and helpful when it came time to collect family for photos during the cocktail hour. I was also impressed with how timely he was with capturing special spontaneous moments. Gui was polite and friendly with my family and friends and it was a pleasure to have him share in our special day. And most importantly, we are in love with the photos!

ur wedding. Get yourself some Nato for your special day!

tipyness....) but Nato managed to capture everything and everyone and looking through our album made us feel like we were there again. Her photos are both natural and dramatic and we truly loved every single one of them. Thank you Nato!!!

cause we had Nato as our photographer! We ended up with soo many great pictures! Nato was very professional but at the same time, she felt apart of the family, which made everything more fun! Everyone, and I mean everyone who came in contact with her LOVED her! She took her time with my crazy unorganized family and made sure we got every picture we wanted. I honestly just want to have another wedding just so I can have her photograph it again. WE HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!!

was really quick to send us a sneak peak. They are BEAUTIFUL! The day went by in a blur but luckily we have these incredible photos to remember the vibe and the details we didn’t even notice when it was happening. Overall - perfect.

wedding. She is also just so lovely and felt like we were working with a friend. Couldn't be more pleased and would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer :)

idn't want "run of the mill" photography). Because I was late in the game, nearly everyone I reached out to was already booked. I was recommended to Weddings By Nato by one of the many photographers who couldn't make our date work, and luckily Nato's fantastic associate Gui was available to shoot, with photos edited by Nato. Gui was INCREDIBLE. He was warm, understanding, and made us comfortable in front of the camera. He also must double as a ninja because he captured true candids without taking away from "the moment". He scouted out the perfect backdrops and lighting. I've only seen a sneak peak of some of the photos but my mind is already blown. Nato and her team are simply the best, and true artists. I could not be happier.

for us. We got some sneak peaks a couple days after the wedding, and we love them so much, so did our family and friends! Super excited to see all the photos!

er; she has such a warm demeanor! And don't even get me started on the work! Nato was born to take pictures! Her work is flawless and captures the most beautiful moments imaginable! She's truly amazing!

thing - and the photos turned out amazing!!! She's also so down to earth and easy to talk to; I couldn't be happier with her and her fabulous work!

super responsive, easygoing, and most importantly, her photos are GORGEOUS. They’re not oversaturated or posed. Every single one feels organic and makes you feel like you’re in the moment again. She and her associate Hannah captured every detail of the day just perfectly, which is insane because we had a huge wedding with millions of elements and steps in it. Also, she made everything so easy and fun. She’s so relaxed and great to be around. Another cool thing is that she does a free engagement shoot so you can get to know each other! It was such a great way to ease the nerves. If you want amazing photos and want to work with someone awesome please consider Nato!!!

ecommended other vendors; her package includes a FREE engagement shoot that was so much fun and resulted in some amazing photos; and she gave us some invaluable tips w/r/t timelines etc. She was completely unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception but still managed to get the best shots. Definitely recommend to anyone planning their wedding!

te perfect fit for me. She did her due diligence in the weeks leading up to my wedding day, making sure I got all the necessary information over to her in advance; showed up on time and just knocked everything out of the park. Nato moves quickly, but doesn't rush you – she's able to get everything you asked for & more in an extremely timely fashion. I gave her an idea of what I was looking for in some shots, and she knew exactly what I was talking about and made it BETTER. She guided us easily, scouted the best locations for us, and most importantly – put my husband at ease (he is NOT comfortable in front of a camera). She also knew all my angles without me telling her, which is just a little* vain, but c'mon... it was my wedding day. She made me look magazine-worthy. I cried when I got my photos back, and everyone that has seen them can't stop talking about them. They're more than I ever could've hoped for. All in all, Nato Tuke is a lovely and talented flower, and I would've been lost without her. I can't thank her enough. Book her today – you will NOT regret it! xo.

her game. She is very responsive, so sweet, and extremely talented. My husband and I are introverts and we felt very comfortable with Nato documenting all the intimate and important moments you are going to want to remember forever. I am in love with my wedding photos!! I wanted to look like a forest fairy princess (in the classiest/most modern way possible) and Nato made that dream come to life! She understood exactly the look we were going for and went above and beyond our expectations.

't planning on doing an engagement shoot but ended up doing it because we were so excited about the photography. The photos are SO great (despite the rain!) and capture the event's vibe. Every time I look at them, I can't help but grin. Gui was great to work with, incredibly flexible, and sweet and kind. He made us feel comfortable, despite us both not being used to being in front of the camera. Thanks so much Nato and Gui!

and the shots were amazing. We could not have been happier with their service, and the result was truly perfect.

lness we were hoping for, through excellent communication, intuition, talent and expertise. Highly recommended!!!

nd the photos, WOW. I’m obsessed! The thing I loved the most was how she managed to capture all the candid emotions that our guests experienced, as well as the special moments between my husband and I. I think the hubs even loved the photoshoot (the photos are proof!) and that is no easy feat. When we received the link to our photos, we loved reliving the day all over again. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and are working on putting together an album now! They are just beautiful.

product. Although, we do understand that there were a TON of pictures to go through and that would have taken so much longer to turn around, so we were happy with the overall product!

nt, it's worth it. Trust me.

g really came through the images (and she's an editing machine!). We couldn't recommend Nato and her team more highly.

fully edited in less than a week. The mood and vibe of the wedding shines through the photos and so do our personalities. Nato & Gui were so in tune with us and knew exactly what we wanted without even having to ask. Moments like these are so special and delicate, it's necessary to trust seriously skilled people to get it right. We were blown away by their work. Thank you thank you!

ng with Nato for our vow renewal, and not only was she able to get us incredible pictures, but she was so sweet and caring it almost seemed like a friend of ours was taking our picture. The images were gorgeous and told the story of our day in the most intimate and beautiful way. I've never in my life had pictures taken that were this good. Thank you so much Nato, we loved working with you!

n & handled navigating our large group so well! She captured some really special, quiet parts of our day that we didn't even realize until much later were our favorites of the entire wedding weekend. She genuinely tries to get to know you before the wedding so you're super comfortable! We were lucky enough to be able to get a drink with her about a month before & talk through what we were hoping for & what we were nervous about. She was so calming. She takes control of the room & produces beautiful, natural photos that we will treasure forever. Cannot recommend her enough!!

The pictures came so quickly and were BEAUTIFUL. They are seriously my favorite ever. I'm so glad we picked Nato!

Worth every penny and the pictures are amazing!

d to be seen. After city hall, we did individual shots in a variety of places in East Village and LES. At one point, we actually got out of the cab in the middle of Houston for an amazing shot in front of graffiti wall. I loved that she was open to all and any ideas! We received our photos earlier than we expected and we seriously were in love with all of them. We had such a nice variety of photos with different stances/backgrounds/vibes, which I appreciated. Nato is professional, talented and has the ability to capture the most beautiful, candid moments. I can't tell you how many people have asked about her work since. We were so lucky to have found Nato as our wedding day photographer and I would 100% recommend booking her for your big day. She is amazing!

friends and family. My groom is not super comfortable getting his picture taken, and she put us really at ease and there are so many sweet photos of the two of us where he looks totally natural and handsome, not awkward like in some of the photos I take. She's amazing with natural light, and we got married in a loft with skylights and windows. She really embraced the space and the vibe we were going for and it's so fun for us to look at her photographs and relive the magical day!!!

er telling her about our vintage vibes and throwback location we feel like she really "got us". What attracted us to her work was that she masterfully captures each couples individual style, and look and feel of their location or venue, leaving no small detail behind..which is exactly what we got from her! On the big day, she was amazing with our friends and family and captured all our special moments and the look and feel of the venue. She sent us a sneak peak within days and full files a couple of weeks later. Seeing our photos brings us right back to that day :-) We can't thank her enough for capturing the most special day for us!

e received the gallery and were completely blown away! We loved EVERY. SINGLE. PHOTO. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get someone to love EVERY PHOTO?! It's no easy task, and Nato made it completely effortless. She's friendly, a great conversationalist, knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable and look good, and I felt as if I had known her for years despite only having chatted a few times! For the first time in a long time, I felt beautiful in front of someone else's camera. From a fellow wedding photographer to anyone reading this: HIRE THIS WOMAN. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

You get a new one. But you can’t get a new life. You only get one. So doesn’t it make sense to invest remembering the best moments in life? To choose not just a photograph, but one that is art? Something worth framing, something worthy of display throughout generations of hallways? That is what Nato Tuke does: she turns your best moments into art. To me, this is the highest purpose of photography. If this is what you’re looking for, Nato is your artist. I think Nato churns out such consistently high-quality work not only due to her high talent, but because she’s so down-to-earth and easy to work with and she knows which mode to switch into to get the right shot: sometimes she must to preserve the moment without injecting herself into it; sometimes she must create the shot. Her portfolio speaks to her judgment in these matters far better than my words could. Nato will always be my family photographer; I encourage you to consider her for yours, as well. Maria Santiago

ike a ghost with fluid efficiency, and when she delivered our photos they were so stuffed with life and character, it was incredible. Not to mention her turnaround for received edited photos or sneak peaks was INSANE. She's crazy fast with high quality work. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

with her three times in different settings: Engagement session at an amusement park, on the streets of Manhattan, and at a grand and elaborate theater for our wedding. All three with different lighting situations, different logistics, different feel and she captures it all excellently. She does the subject and the location justice by capturing details with excellent composition. SHE MAKES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED Granted, I'm very comfortable in front of the camera LOL and so is my guy so working with her was seamless and a lot of fun. She takes staged photographs really well but she's excellent at capturing the spontaneous moments as well. When I look through my wedding photos, I'm surprised at the amount of things she caught on camera because I didn't even realize she was there! SHE'S COLLABORATIVE Probably my favorite thing about her is that she makes the whole session and process feel so collaborative. Bouncing off ideas with her about the look and feel of our wedding photos was super effortless. I sent her a couple of Pinterest boards about the aesthetic I was looking for (engagement was super colorful, wedding was very somber) and she matched it. She's quick with ideas and I loved that she knew where I was coming from artistically speaking so working with her is a dream. I'd say, "I'd like something symmetrical and very Wes Anderson in perspective for this shot." She got it. I'd say, "I would like the wedding photos to look very dramatic - Harry Potter's The Great Hall in terms of lighting, very amber and golden." She understood. She just gets it. SHE'S FAST Get her excited about your ideas and your photo sessions and she will literally want to go home immediately to edit your photos. If you look through her Instagram feed, you will see that all the couples she photographs are super unique and creative - I think her energy attracts really cool people and there's nothing typical about any of her photos. SHE DOES EXCELLENT POST-PROCESSING My biggest pet peeve is when a mediocre photographer takes mediocre photographs and then takes them home and overcompensates with a lot of post-processing. That's not the case with her. She's not insane with her edits and they don't look overdone. SHE IS A DREAM TO WORK WITH Seriously, from beginning to end - she's a dream. A lot of people won't tell you this but your wedding is only as good as the vendors you pull in. Nato and her assistant were with us from beginning til (almost) end of our wedding and to be honest - when they left, Brian and I got so sad. Your HMU artists are there in the morning to help you prep. Your caterer is working the back end. Your planner is running around making sure everything is as planned. But your photography and videography team are there WITH YOU every step of the way so you can't help but form a bond with them because they're like your shadows, allies, and creative consultants all rolled into one. I'm so ecstatic with how our photographs came out with Nato, I almost want another huge event to plan so I can hire her again. ALMOST.

r special day in the best way possible - I strongly recommend her!

e found so rare after looking for a photographer for a long time. We could really sense that she's doing this because she's truly in love and passionate for what she's doing! That made her extremely professional and super easy to work with. From the first time we contacted her until our big day, she was extremely responsive to all of our questions and were on top of things. On the wedding day, she was not only patient with all of my family's ridiculous requests of "Here, here!" but also very helpful, leading and guiding us what to do and where to go. Also, one of the many things that we were impressed about her was the questionnaire that she sent before the wedding to get to know what we are expecting for that day. One of the questions included something like, "Is there a divorce/separation or anything else that I need to be aware of within the family members?" The question showed how considerate and thoughtful she was and we were truly impressed by her. And of course, her photos were AMAZING and all of our family and friends are still raving about the photos even until today! Because she's considerate and passionate, she recorded that day so well and so beautifully. 5 stars is not enough for her!!!

st Village) with complete brilliance. I had shared with her prior the type of shots (look, aesthetic, color, etc.) we were interested in, and she nailed them all. I would recommend her to anyone!

destination wedding. Nato went above and beyond for us: coming to our site the night before, on her birthday, to scout out the best shots; volunteering her mom (a professional photographer) to cover some extra angles for our ceremony at no extra charge; literally taking me by the hand and helping me every step of the way to get to the venue on time. These are actions of a professional who cares deeply about her clients, but also the actions of a person who has great empathy for others. In hindsight, we were extremely fortunate that our previous wedding photographer bailed, because if that didn't happen, we would have never met Nato, gotten incredible photos of our wedding, or made a lasting friend. Don't hesitate. Book Nato now!! :)

g her. We love our final pictures and recommend her

recommend booking with Nato for all your portrait needs!

And did I mention it was all a destination wedding, with limited time to prepare on location, and kind of short notice from our side (oops)?

l the photos I asked for explicitly but also thought of things I (probably) wanted without me even having to tell her. Your wedding day can be extremely hectic and you fear missing out on something. Having a photographer who knows EXACTLY what you want alleviates some stress. Furthermore, we did our engagement shoot with Nato and she was awesome. We had this crazy idea to go to an abandoned hotel and Nato did it with such a great and exciting attitude. We loved everything about our experience!

credibly easy and flexible to work with. She arrived early for our ceremony, looked after every detail and even lugged our stuff around in the heat. Nato was incredibly friendly, chill and easy to get along with. And the pictures she took were absolutely stunning! I mean amazing! We could not be more pleased! Nato's the best!

typical, boring wedding photos. Nato encapsulated all those things and more. Having her there was like having a friend by your side. She was easy to work with and seemed to really enjoy being a part of the day. I loved that she managed to capture every detail of the day and yet she wasn't intrusive in any way. I barely noticed she was there, but when I got all of my photos (she turned them around really fast, too!) I was able to relive all of the moments that flew by. People have consistently commented on how beautiful our photos are. I highly recommend her for any special occasion that merits a photographer. I hope to work with her again.

g wedding photos, and upon completion of our package. She was quick and responsive to all of our inquiries and put us at ease throughout the whole process. We received super prompt sneak peeks and our proofs came in before expected date. We'd highly recommend Nato for capturing your special moments! 🙂

e was a calming presence! We are so happy with her work and highly recommend her to everyone.

ity to making a lasting impression. I recommend Nato Tuke Photography 110%!!!
