I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We got photo and video for our wedding and it was truly amazing. Not only is the entire team so talented- they were such a great energy to have around on wedding day which was really important to me. The photos and video are absolutely stunning. I generally don't love photos of myself, but I was obsessed with all of them. When I first started planning my wedding I was thinking of just doing photos and no video. After seeing the previous videos on the website I knew I had to have one. I'm so incredibly happy I did both. Such a special day and the photos and video capture it so differently.
Working with Nato and her team was truly one of the best decisions we could've made for our wedding! Photo and video was super important to us & we really wanted to make sure that everything felt like us and not just the "standard" stuff you'd capture at a wedding. And truly Nato, Jenny, Dan and Anyelo delivered on this better than we ever could've imagined. The photos/videos captured exactly what we remember our wedding feeling like from start to finish.
Also, not only are they crazy talented but they're also all such lovely people to work with. It really felt more like they were our friends because we always were so comfortable and laughing with them. It was easy to trust that it was all going to be amazing and that was totally the case as they made sure all the big & little things alike didn't go unnoticed.
If you want an incredibly talented and cool group to capture any kind of event I can't recommend them enough!!
Nato is the absolute best. She shot our engagement party and our wedding in Greece and we could not be happier with all of our photos. We had film and digital and they’re all so amazing. I can’t wait for her to shoot our maternity shoot next! Couldn’t recommend her more.
I can't say enough about Nato and her team. Nato is truly an incredible talent, and we feel so fortunate to have had her photograph our engagement session. Her ability to capture genuine moments is unreal - the photos she took of us are absolutely STUNNING and perfectly reflect our relationship. We'll treasure these images forever!
From the very beginning, Nato made us feel incredibly comfortable. She was always keeping us in the loop and addressing any concerns we had. This level of care and attention really set the tone for our entire experience and put us at ease throughout the process.
For our wedding day, we had the pleasure of working with Miria, who is also fantastic. She brought the same level of skill and professionalism we experienced with Nato. Miria's calm presence helped us relax and truly enjoy every moment of our special day.
We wholeheartedly recommend Nato and her team to anyone looking for exceptional wedding photography. Their talent, professionalism, and ability to make you feel comfortable are second to none. Thank you, Nato and Miria, for preserving our precious moments so beautifully!
We LOVED having Nato as our photographer at our wedding a few weeks ago. From the moment she stepped into our hotel room for first look photographs, we both felt so at ease and comfortable. Nato is extremely experienced and professional, but she's also super personable and chill, which is exactly the kind of energy you need on such a high-energy, sometimes overstimulating day! Even our parents were raving about her (probably something to do with the fact that Nato also helped direct my parents to our venue and secured no less than 5 boutonnieres for the men in our family, lol -- she was truly our fairy godmother that day). After our wedding, Nato was super fast in delivering a bunch of sneak peek images, which we have not been able to stop admiring. Her portfolio speaks for itself, but it's another thing entirely to finally see yourself in her beautiful images!! We can't wait to receive the rest of the gallery. Wedding planning is full of big decisions and in a market like NYC, there's no shortage of options. But when it comes to photography I truly can't think of going with anyone else. With Nato, you get it all: she's an incredible presence on your wedding day, her work is truly artistic and beautiful, and she's super professional and communicative. We wouldn't change a thing about our experience with Nato, and we can't thank her enough for making our wedding day that much more special.
Nato was incredible from beginning to end. From the year before when we linked on the phone via interview, to the execution of our special day that will go down in history. She captured so many magnetic moments , she definitely has a keen sense of photo journalism you just cannot find in wedding photography. Her vision is the exact antithesis of a stylesless, out-of-date take on wedding imagery. Her work is SO ORIGINAL! The one thing you’ll have a great time doing is going through pictures over and over again weeping like we have. It’s been really difficult to have a finalized group because most of them are jaw dropping. I would highly recommend Nato and her team to anyone, and if you can extend her throughout multiple days that is something we had wished ! We just love her! She’s also a dream to work with through and through
We are coming up on our 6 year anniversary, and every time i think of our photos I am mad. I waited such a long time to write this review, frankly only because Nato felt intimidating. I echo the only other bad review here. she doesn't make it easy to approach her with any concerns or requests for edits. The day of our wedding Nato clearly did not like me and made it easy to tell. She seemed like she didn't want to be there. We had a nor easter on our wedding day, so we naturally didn't get the photos we had hoped for. However, it was really her personality that made the memories bad. Her assistant was nicer to me, but rude to our videographer using a nasty tone and addressing him as "dude" when trying to point out something he was doing wrong (another thing that clearly bothered her was us hiring a videographer she hadn't worked with before). When we got to the outdoor tunnel I wanted to take photos and Nato goes "is this it.." with a disappointed tone. In every single one of our solo couples shots after the first look, my dress is unbuttoned. No one thought to tell me until the photoshoot was done so my dress looks ill fitted the entire time. We do have a handful of nice photos to display, but I do not think our shoot matches the aesthetic sold in her portfolio (save for 3 photos). I was expecting all the amazing photos I see on her website and unfortunately ours wasn't as amazing. Which would be OK if she was just nice and seemed like she wanted to be shooting our wedding AT ALL. If you do not have the perfect vibe she likes/personality then you may also be disappointed. The reason I am choosing to still leave this review six years later is because her professionalism was that bad. I still haven't worked with anyone like her since.
We are so happy with our choice of Weddings by Nato as our wedding photographer. Nato was incredibly fast and communicative throughout the planning process, and we loooove our photos! The whole team has a beautiful style that was perfect to capture our late summer Hamptons Wedding. Miria shot our engagement photos and wedding and was a lovely, calming and approachable person to have with us throughout both. She expertly captured our NYC engagement shoot & vibe and the Hamptons wedding--two very different styles. She was also very chill and easy going with us when we were awkward in front of the camera and blended in on the day of the wedding. Nato sent our film sneak peek within 1 week of the wedding which is amazing and the shots are AWESOME. We can't wait to see the rest!
Working with Nato and Miria has been nothing but amazing so far ! Miria made our engagement shoot so incredibly comfortable(and I’m not one that likes to take a million pictures). We had a couple set backs day of broken dress loss of shoes and she made sure that we were relaxed and laughing about it. Not to mention the pictures came out so good you’d never think there was any sort of hiccups! the pictures came out better than I can ever imagine. She’ll be doing our wedding too and I can not wait. I could not recommend them enough!!!
OMG!! Nato, Miria, Dan and McGuire are absolute superstars. They were so incredible to work with and we feel beyond grateful to have had their talent, professionalism, calm and kind energy (!!) on our wedding day. Not only did the entire team make us feel comfortable and special, but they worked so hard and the creative commitment was inspirational. Truly words cannot express how appreciative we are for each of them. The videos and images are better than we could have ever imagined- the love and energy of our wedding was captured PERFECTLY. Working with such great humans was the cherry on top. Nato and her team were one of the highlights of our wedding journey and my husband and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you SO much for everything!!! You are all amazing!!! <3
We absolutely loved working with Nato and Miria. From my first call with Nato, I felt immediately at ease. Nato completely met me where I was at with my process, and we had a genuinely sweet and informative conversation. I immediately knew it was the right fit. And Miria - oh man. She was the most calming and supportive presence on the day of, and her photos are true art. I cannot recommend more highly!
We had a wonderful experience with Nato as our wedding photographer! Her attention to detail really made our photos special and something we will treasure forever! Her team was very professional and made the day go so smoothly. Their shots were very creative and captured our day perfectly! 10/10 would totally hire again (if we were getting married again :) )
We absolutely loved working with Nato and her team!! They captured exactly how the weekend felt, both through photos and video. Nato is incredibly professional and made us feel so relaxed in front of the camera. We couldn't be happier with our decision and how the photos turned out.
10/10 experience with this team. They just get it without having to explain too much. True artists! Communication was great with nato and Miria took the most stunning shots. Miria was always super patient and such a calming energy on the day of the wedding. We took our engagement photos with her too and she had ideas and guidance without letting us lose our individuality.
Nato and her team were wonderful! They truly captured the highlights of our ceremony and reception and transformed them into a beautiful video. We're so grateful for their hard work and continue to recommend them to friends and family.
Photographer goals! Simply put, Nato and her team are amazing. The process started off with a phone call with Nato where we discussed the vision for our surprise wedding. From there, communication was a breeze and day of, we had Christian as our photographer. He was the best! We feel so lucky. Nato then quickly edited all of our photos and we had our gallery back in the blink of an eye. The photos are better than we could have ever dreamed of. This team is beyond talented. I recommend Weddings by Nato for any future couple, you will not regret it!
We are so happy we chose Weddings by Nato for our wedding weekend. Nato was a pleasure to work with and made scheduling and all logistical aspects so easy. Miria shot our wedding and welcome party. She made us, our family, and guests feel comfortable and the pictures were exactly what we imagined and are so beautiful. Thank you to Nato and her team for capturing our wedding so perfectly!
We wanted a vintage and candid storyteller photographer, and we are so lucky we found Nato! The entire weekend, we found it so easy and relaxing to work with her and the team. We felt at pace and not rushed into poses, it felt like hanging out with our photographer. Nato and her team are professional and respectful during private moments like the first look. We had the digital and vintage Kodak film...so it was very fun to look through the photos. Looking through our album, we tear up and chuckle, it feels like we are there in the photo shot, reliving that moment and breathing our wedding day air. Thank you Nato and your team for making our special day so incredible.
Nato is absolutely everything I could've asked for in a dream wedding photographer! She truly captured the day effortlessly and understands you as the unique couple that you both are. Even from our beginning engagement photos, she will make you feel completely at ease and direct you so easily to get the perfect shots. I trusted her from beginning to end to understand the vision I was going for in my photos and she was absolutely the easiest person to get along with. She took film photos (which were an absolute treasure and my personal favorite) and had them sent over to me less than a week after my wedding day! 10/10 worth booking Nato all the way! You will not regret it :)
Miria did an amazing job with our wedding!!! She made us feel really comfortable. Our pictures are gorgeous, and we're so thrilled with them. We highly recommend using Nato & Miria for your wedding!!
Miria was a phenomenal photographer! As camera shy people, she made my partner and I feel extremely comfortable. She was professional but also laid back and made the experience so fun. I love the aesthetic of all the pictures and am so happy with how they turned out.
Nato shot our wedding at Glynwood Farm about a year ago and did our engagement shoot a couple months before that. She did amazing work – we were stunned at how good her photos made a camera-shy couple look!! :) For our engagement shoot, she came to our apartment and then followed us around Central Park and the surrounding streets - it was a low-key experience where she gave great guidance that resulted in incredible photos! On our wedding day, she and her team meticulously captured every detail from getting ready to the ceremony to dance floor shots during the party. She even kept us calm as thunder started rolling during our couples shoot before the ceremony – and parlayed the rain into great photos of us with umbrellas by the lake! All the photos she took captured the joy we felt on that day and are on loop in a digital photo frame in our living room! Would absolutely recommend Nato to photograph a wedding or any other event!!
Incredibly talented photographer beautifully captured our courthouse wedding on both digital and film. So many beautiful photos. Friendly photographer met us at our hotel and documented the whole way through the Brooklyn Courthouse to family photos outside. Such an important day - so hard to pick our favorite photos
Working with Nato & her team was the best decision we made for our wedding, HANDS DOWN. We had a three day wedding (it was a production!!) and I was nervous about it. But their calm nature and Natos guidance with us - I cant imagine not having them along for the ride. By the end of it they felt like friends we have always known - we laughed, we hugged, and when we partied, we looked around realized they were all there with us capturing the day. They blend into the crowd and thats why their work is so good. Its artistic and so unique. Everyone kept complimenting us on them. We adore you guys! Thank you team.
Had a really poor experience with Nato, who had an associate shoot our engagement in September 2023. My fiance had been doting over Nato’s work and engaging with her Instagram for the better part of a year before asking me to hire this team for our special day, but the photos we received of a moment we will never be able to replicate were very lackluster, especially for the premium price that we paid.
My fiance kindly reached out to Nato following the delivery of our images with some questions after noticing things like a camera strap obstructing several photos, and her Spanx visible in others, had not been edited out. Nato advised that per our contract, photoshop was not included which in my opinion was not stated clearly as our contract does say that although photoshop is not included, we are able to inquire about additional editing at a cost. We also didn’t think we would need to ask for our photos to have camera straps removed from them and thought it would have been courteous of them to mention that my fiance's spanx were showing when taking our photos so it didn’t have to be edited out. My fiance asked if anything could be done since this wasn’t what we were expecting and to say this photographer chewed her out would be an understatement. She went as far as to say my fiancé was trying to bully her into doing something she doesn’t do and that she did not respect her style or boundaries. Additionally, we felt SO belittled by Nato regarding pricing. We mentioned this was priced at a premium in our exchange, which for us, is true, but Nato made sure to let us know she edited our photos in the same way that she did for a wedding at the Ritz in Paris, which she covered for 10 hours. The obvious difference in editing needs in this example is that a bride at a luxury venue likely had professional hair and makeup done, had help getting dressed into a perfectly steamed garment, and lighting perfected for photos. Most bride’s wedding day is the most beautiful and perfect they have ever looked, as it should be! All of this isn’t the case for someone experiencing a surprise proposal. Nato also mentioned she recognized that my fiancé may have hired differently, but that this was ultimately my decision. My fiance pushed back on this since she asked me to hire her, and not only that, made that request because of how much she love(d) her style and work. Hard lesson learned that photographers, and not just this one, only post and market their best work, so you’re not seeing shots with noticeable flaws like ours. It’s no surprise I’ve never seen a single image from our engagement posted by Nato anywhere.
Nato did attempt to make a concession by having a friend make a couple of edits based on our feedback after some back and forth, but the quality of those edits were such that the photoshop was obvious (not what we were going for) and could not be used, so we effectively left things at square one, $1k poorer with photos that didn’t/don’t spark joy.
Really disheartened by the total lack of empathy and kindness we experienced when contacting this photographer with some legitimate concerns and cannot recommend.
To note: A handful of the photos that were delivered to us were nice, which was communicated, and we really enjoyed our interaction with the associate Jenny (who shot us), which was also communicated, prior to Nato advising that Jenny co-wrote and co-signed the aggressive emails received from Nato.
We purchased the associate package and we are so glad we did! We got a mix of digital and film and absolutely love all of our photos. Everything we hoped for. Nato was lovely to work with and Maria was excellent.
Weddings by Nato were our photo and video team for our wedding and they were just amazing. They brought this incredible energy that just made the day even more special. And as the bride, I loved how they managed to be everywhere but still gave me my space. It was like magic. They totally got us. It was like they could read our minds and knew exactly what me and my husband were dreaming of for our day. They were all over the place capturing everything but somehow never in the way. They made us feel so comfortable, it was like having friends around who just happened to be super talented with cameras.The photos and videos came out perfectly. Every single moment that meant the world to us was captured so beautifully. We've been looking back on them, and every time it's like we're reliving the day, emotions and all. It’s just so special to have these memories captured so perfectly. They’ll blow your expectations out of the water!
Weddings by Nato did such an incredible job for our engagement party! The pictures were EXACTLY as envisioned and we couldn’t have been happier with the process from introduction to delivery. We can’t thank you enough!
Had an absolutely fantastic experience with Weddings by Nato on my wedding day. We were with Nato's associate, Miria, for about 5 hours and she made the most of every minute. Despite freezing cold rain, and a tiny hotel room to get ready in, the photos turned out better than I could have ever expected.
To start with, Nato sent a questionnaire months before that covered literally EVERYthing - from the exact family photos we wanted, the couples photos, the vibe we were going for, -- you name it. I felt so prepared going in on the actual day (which is truly a blessing when you are inevitably feeling overwhelmed!).
Miria had a great eye and really made me feel calm and joyful while we were walking around Brooklyn taking photos. So many people commented that you could tell how much she cared.
All in all - an extremely seamless, detail-oriented, and fun process that allowed my husband and I to relax and enjoy the day. These are not your typical photographers... they are artists. And they will provide you with something truly unique and beautiful that you will cherish forever.
There's a reason that Nato and her team are some of the most sought after wedding photographers in the city, my wife and I's photos turned out nothing short of incredible.
Our photographer was super gracious and accommodating to our friends and family's requests (including me annoyingly asking to have pics taken at a local dive bar, haha) -- Highly recommend adding either film or video packages as they are worth every penny as well.
If you're on the fence, Nato's portfolio and expertise speaks for itself!
Here's the thing, my wife and I left no stone unturned prior to choosing our wedding photo + video team. It wasn't until our initial call with Nato that we finally felt excited; we knew we found someone that got us. Not only were we drawn to Nato's work (it speaks for itself!), she made us feel comfortable and seamlessly fit into our planning process... I'd be remiss if I didn't share what's (hopefully) now a funny story to highlight her professionalism, kindness, and understanding --
Nato graciously agreed to capture our EARLY morning sunrise vows with photo & video -- The night prior, Nato called, texted, and even emailed us to confirm timing, location, and tracked the incoming storms to time it just right. Unbeknownst to us, we did not have cell service at our welcome party venue and essentially ghosted Nato until 11:30pm the night before!!!! After a flurry of emails, apologies, and reassuring her that "no, we did not call off our wedding!", she arrived the next morning all smiles and we shared a laugh. From that moment, Nato didn't feel like our photographer, she felt like a friend. That same comfort and ease continued into the rest of our wedding day.
Nato, Jenny, Miria, and Dan created magic, kept us laughing, and the emotion in our photos/video prove just that. We're so grateful we get to relive those moments of authenticity because of their approach. The emotion is palpable in every. single. one.
Everyone from our families, event coordinators, and friends were blown away by their presence and the end results. We wouldn't change a single thing. Thank you will never be enough! To see more (+ video): @kmjosef
To say Nato is the best wedding photographer/videographer out there is the biggest understatement of all time. My wedding photos came out spectacular, despite the pivot to the rain plan because it poured all day. Nato's team was so responsive throughout the whole process, they were like my BEST FRIENDS on site the day of, and made the experience so fun AS AN ADDITION to the best wedding photos I could have possibly imagined. If you want to see more, go to my instagram @kellygracemae where you can also see the video because it's bananas. it's so good. I can't recommend them more. I love Nato <3
This was one of our favorite vendors we got to work with for our wedding. Nato and Miria were amazing to work with. They were both friendly and communicative throughout the whole process and completely understood our vision. Miria made us feel so comfortable while shooting our engagement and wedding photos. She absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for. Our wedding photos are so gorgeous and truly capture all the love and warmth we wanted them to. Thank you so much Nato and Miria for capturing our special day <3 <3
Nato and Miria are absolutely amazing at what they do. I can not get over how incredibly talented they are and how Miria was able to capture such amazing detail and moments throughout our wedding. My best friend hired Nato 5 years ago for her wedding and I knew that when my day came, Nato would be the first person I reached out to. Nato was busy that weekend so we were lucky enough to be able to work with Miria for our wedding. Miria was fantastic - she made us so comfortable with all the family and couple shots and had such creative ideas to capturing fun moments throughout. We also had Miria work with 35mm film and I would HIGHLY recommend doing that too on top of the digital photos.
Nato and Dan were so incredible at the wedding with directing us and making us super comfortable in front of the camera - but what really blew me away was getting our photos back and wondering how the hell they were able to capture everything and more of our day. I was anticipating that our photos would be magical and beautiful based on our engagement photos and Nato’s photos from previous weddings, but the amount of joy, love, and excitement in the variety of photos they were able to capture makes me wonder if they have magical powers. Like seriously - they are the Dumbledores of wedding photography! Looking through the photos made us wonder if Nato and Dan have their own Pensieve to view memories and go back to the perfect time to capture the guest reactions to each speech, candid laughs and tender moments, and so many beautiful photos of both ourselves and our guests that we will cherish forever. RUN don’t walk to work with Nato and her team for your special day!!! Thank you so much for capturing memories we will cherish forever!
Wow, where to even begin?
The entire team: Nato, Dan and Mary were absolute rockstars and professionals who captured every precious moment of our special day with grace, innovation and creativity. From the pre-wedding jitters, to the sanctimonious ceremony, to the eclectic reception celebrations - they were there for every step of the way. We were completely blown away at how this team rolled with the punches and handled every shift in energy (big and small) with the utmost grace and creativity.
While we knew that Nato and her team were talented, our final photos and videos turned out far better than we could have ever imagined. These snapshots and footage are a collection of moments frozen in time that we will cherish forever! With every glance and watch, we found ourselves laughing, crying, and reminiscing over the absolute magic of the day.
Beyond the quality of their content, Nato and her team were an absolute joy to work with from inception to finish. Throughout the entire experience, we were made to way feel comfortable and at ease, even in the most trying and stressful of circumstances. The team was patient, kind, and reassuring, ultimately making us feel comfortable and special throughout the entire day.
It goes without saying: we highly recommend Nato to any creative and cool couple looking for professional content during their big day. Thank you Nato & team for going above and beyond to make our day absolutely unforgettable! We feel so lucky to have had you as part of our celebration!
Nato and her team are a dream to work with - highly recommend! Joe and the rest of the photographers and videographers that were with us day of were SO detail oriented, so friendly, so thoughtful and anticipatory of all our needs. At the end of the night they felt more like friends than a vendor. They truly were able to capture the essence of our wedding and make it possible for us to relive this special moment forever and ever. We couldn't be happier and would recommend their photo and video services to anyone. Thank YOU!
Nato and her team are simply the best. From our first interactions we knew that they were the perfect fit for what we were looking for in our wedding and engagement photos! Nato listens to what clients are looking for and provides honest answers to what she can and will provide.
I recently hired this wedding photography team to shoot several small celebratory dinners for my wedding and I am blown away by their talent. From the very first dinner, they captured every special moment and detail with such artistry and beauty. Their attention to lighting and composition is truly unparalleled and it shows in every single photo. Not only that, but they were so kind and professional throughout the entire process. They made the experience enjoyable and stress-free for me and my husband. We are so grateful to have these stunning photos to look back on and relive the memories of our special day. Thank you to this talented team for exceeding all of our expectations!
We will NEVER get over the absolute video magic that Nato and her team created of our wedding day. The team became such a seamless part of our day from the very beginning, and caught all of the best and most candid moments. But the best part is that they perfectly captured who we are as a couple; the video really truly feels like us and that's priceless. I would highly recommend Nato and her team!
We absolutely could not recommend her/her team enough. If you have an INKLING that Weddings by Nato are you people, YOU NEED TO GO FOR IT. So, so special to work with Nato: she is someone who has fully come into her gift behind the lens. She manages to transform casual moments into something artful, elevated, and gorgeous. But somehow, those same photos also capture the joy and feeling of the moment: the place, the vibes, and the people, like a precious memory capsule. How does she do it?! I also wouldn't describe myself as comfortable in front of the camera. But working with Nato was so fun and easy: she has an eye finding and capturing the most beautiful, natural moments as they come.
On top of all of that, Nato is so responsive, professional, organized, and thoughtful. You know that she and her team have GOT YOU the whole time, like your coolest and most dependable friend.
Nato and her team were amazing. They instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (we tend to be very nervous) and made the whole evening look exquisite. I wasn't worried about the photos, because I know she takes editing and curating the gallery so seriously. I'm beyond thrilled, best decision I made
nato + her team are absolute magic! I couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and will cherish them for a lifetime.
Working with Nato and the team was enjoyable from start to finish! Gui is the lead associate and did our engagement shoot and wedding. He did an incredible job making us feel comfortable and capturing the energy of the whole day from start to finish. The wedding was flawless and we are so so happy to have it all captured in the best moments in these photos. Would highly recommend Nato and her team!!
Nato was recommended to us by our wedding photographer to shoot our video. While we didn’t originally plan to have a videographer, we’re happy we ultimately decided to hire one. Nato was professional and responsive. Even though she wasn’t there on the day of our wedding, she sent us the more than capable Dan and Miria, who shot everything beautifully. Within a few months we had our video and we couldn’t be happier. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to capture quality video of their special day!
Nato and her team are seriously rockstars!!! They are so professional and so great at capturing the most special moments. Nato made us feel so comfortable and calm, just an absolute pleasure to work with! She is talented beyond belief and photographed our natural, genuine selves so beautifully. Once we got our photos back from the engagement shoot, we exclaimed “omg we’ve never looked cooler!!!” And when we got our wedding photos back we were blown away, she delivers unbelievable work and has a great eye for the most memorable moments and settings. Overall, we would HIGHLY recommend Nato and her team without hesitation, 100000/10, we are over the moon!
It's quite hard to put into words what it is like having Nato be your wedding photographer because she is so much more than just that!
Nato not only took the most gorgeous photos, but there is just an undeniable genuine happiness to every photo she captured.
She has an incredible eye and highlights your special day and those you who you shared it with in such a beautiful unique way.
She took time to get to know me, my husband and our nearest & dearest and it translates in our beautiful photos.
I personally am awful at getting my own photo taken and Nato constantly made me feel at ease, almost to the point where I forgot photos were even being taken!
Her attention to detail is unmatched (she kindly even had my timeline as her phone background to keep us on schedule).
Don't walk... run to book her and her team. They are fun, kind and extraordinarily talented -- you won't regret it!
Choosing Weddings By Nato was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Nato & her team are truly such talented, amazing people. They were so professional as well as so kind and helpful throughout the day. We could just tell throughout the day that our photos and video were going to come out amazing. I cant recommend using Weddings By Nato enough. In fact, my sisters wedding is in a few months and she also booked them and now I am even more pumped knowing they will be there!!!! On a day that is so stressful due to so much going it’s great to know you can trust / relax when it comes to the photo and video thanks to Weddings by Nato. You can also tell how much Nato cares about her clients. She was so genuinely sweet and communicated with me throughout the process from booking to the wedding to edits. She is a superstar. I will always have Nato in mind for photography/video now & wish I had more events to book her for!!!! She is the best!!! <3
I'm just going to start by saying, I knew I wanted Nato to be my wedding photographer even before I started dating my husband. You might think that years of being a fan on instagram and following her work would have set unreasonably high expectations that could only result in a let down...but you'd be wrong! Working with Nato was honestly the easiest and most fun part of our entire wedding.
We opted for a very small, intimate, family only wedding in the local park in our neighborhood followed by a family style dinner and Nato was able to blend in to an honestly semi-crazy family seamlessly. She was such a calming presence on what could have been a nerve wracking day, and the hour we spent with her just taking couple shots in the Botanical Gardens was honestly our favorite part of the day - not to mention the shots ended up gorgeous! A+ 10/10
One of the best decisions we made was choosing to work with Nato and her team. We knew that the photos would be amazing based on her portfolio, but she still managed to exceed all of our expectations and deliver some of the most beautiful and creative shots. On the day of, she was down to experiment and play with different motions, lighting, backdrops, and the results were phenomenal!
We got a mix of both artsy/moody/creative/staged shots and candid photos of pure emotion - the excitement of everything was captured so well that our guests and family members commented on how easy it was to relive the memories of the day.
Communication and coordination with Nato and her team was seamless and clear. The “discovery” portion of understanding what photos and style we wanted was thorough, and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Would recommend in a heartbeat!!
I couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and overall experience with Nato throughout this process. She was just the calming energy we needed amongst the chaos! We are not used to being in front of the camera and she made us feel so comfortable. Our photos came out natural and not forced or in weird wedding photo poses, which is exactly what we wanted! We love you Nato!!
There are simply no words to express how in love we are with our wedding photos. I knew that they would be great based on Nato’s clear skill and excellent eye but I did not expect that she would so inexplicably capture the emotion, the explicit and hidden beauty in the day AND us- as we were yet elevated. I am so happy 😀😭! The day was such a beautiful tornado that it felt a little like a blur. Through our pictures, we could begin to see the day more clearly and we…just love it. Plus, she managed to keep up clean during our outdoor shots, dry when the skies threatened rain and calm when things went a little sideways. She is truly incredible and we feel lucky to have found such a talent.
Hiring Nato and her team was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very start, Nato was extremely responsive and made us feel very comfortable with her direction and recommendations. On our wedding day, Joe was the most professional, creative, and joyful photographer. We felt extremely comfortable all day and his direction was flawless. Once we received our sneak peek our jaws dropped. Every single moment of the day was captured to perfection. When we received our final pictures, we had tears in our eyes going through all the pictures. Everything was perfect across the board and there is still not a day that goes by that we don't look at our photos. If you want the best experience from a photographer from start to finish, look no further than Nato and her team.
I am camera shy so did both an engagement shoot (for 'practice') and the wedding photography with Nato. I couldn't be happier with that decision. She made us feel at ease and gave us helpful, fun-loving cues that produced affectionate, playful, and beautiful photos. The photographs are both artistic and hip--while also capturing those iconic wedding moments. I also recommended Nato to my bestie, who was also super happy with the process and results. Love Nato and her team!
Working with Nato was simply amazing. She was super easy to get a hold of and she worked work with our day of coordinator, so we knew we were in good hands. Her personality really shined the day of. She was super easy to work with and we had tons of fun taking photos around the venue. She was very knowledgeable of the area and took amazing and unique photos!!! Nobody wants the boring standard wedding photos and I can promise you that you will not get those with Nato. Choosing Nato to be our wedding photographer was one of our best decisions!!
Everything Nato and her team touch is pure magic!! They are the absolute kindest people and make the whole process from booking, to engagement photos and the wedding day incredibly stress free. Their presence made us feel so at ease and comfortable that the whole day felt very natural like we were simply amongst friends. We couldn't be more thrilled with the sneak peek from our wedding day, the photos are absolutely stunning, and there is still so much more to come!! For us, booking Nato was a no-brainer—and it should be for you too.
Now, let me start off by saying.... Nato is probably the sweetest, most talented, and professional photographer in the game!! She is an artist by nature, and a natural behind the camera. Nato made us feel so comfortable and guided us like a fairy god-mother, throughout the whole process and on the big day.
We received our sneak peeks and SO excited to see the rest of the photos!!! She certainly exceeded our expectations and more. We highly recommend her services 1000000%!!! <3
I wasn't super involved in booking various vendors in the early stages of our wedding planning (my wife is a gal who knows what she wants). If she felt strongly about someone, I knew she had done her research and that they were probably as good as it gets - vetted through back-door contacts and painstakingly deliberated in our apartment, by then a makeshift Churchill War Room.
So I was unsurprised to come on this site and see Nato had 170 5 star reviews. Not a single one less than a 5. If you need to keep searching after seeing that, then you're probably the kind of person that spends 45 minutes searching for a breakfast sandwich on a Saturday morning, comes across a well received 4.5, pauses and thinks, SURELY I can do better.
But let me tell you, in the photography and videography department, you must stop here. With Nato, there is no better.
My knowledge of photography is limited to the ability to look at a great picture and acknowledge 2 things - 1. I cannot do that and 2. that is an incredible photo.
Such is the case with everything that Nato produced during the entirety of our wedding. Even better than her (and her team's) talent behind the camera, is how genuinely wonderful they are as people. We had our engagement photos in the aforementioned Churchill War Rooms. It can be tough to feel relaxed or have fun during a shoot like that. But she is just so damn good at making you feel at ease and brings out the best in you as a couple. Candid gets thrown around a bit cavalierly, but every photo Nato takes is as if a camera had never been there at all.
Go with Nato. Opt for the video. Don't overthink this one.
Choosing Nato for our wedding was 10000% the right choice! One of her associates Miria was our photographer for our wedding on 9/3/22 in upstate NY near the Catskills. Miria was so sweet, energetic, dedicated and personable. Throughout all of our photos on the big day she made them fun, easy and natural. None of it felt awkward or forced it was genuinely a good time shooting all of our pictures! She captured so many emotional, funny & happy moments that I didn't even realize until seeing them in photos. She really made our wedding day tell an amazing story through her photography. During the wedding planning process Nato was VERY responsive. Any questions I had she answered and was so helpful. I love how Nato is able to edit photos in so many different ways to make them all feel a certain mood/tell a story. I can't recommend her and her company enough!! xo
Photography was the first vendor we looked for after booking our venue. For us, it was important to work with someone whose work we would enjoy for years to come. We found Nato through a professional reference and Gui was our photographer for the wedding. Both Nato and Gui were fantastic to work with! Easy to get along with, understood our vision for the day, and overall professional. We received our photos back recently, and our jaws dropped. We loved every image, especially the candid moments that we didn't know were captured! Thank you for everything!
