Weddings by Nato

ich also included an engagement shoot last year with Miria. Nato was consistently responsive, friendly, and professional. Miria always made us feel comfortable and we had a wonderful experience getting to know her! On the day of our wedding, the entire team brought the BEST energy and seamlessly captured every special moment. We will cherish the beautiful photos and videos forever. Thank you, Nato and team!!!

ve 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.

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!!

azing. I can’t wait for her to shoot our maternity shoot next! Couldn’t recommend her more.

enuine 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!

fortable. 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.

aptured 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

ng. 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.

os! 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!

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!!!

d 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

nely 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!

y 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 :) )

relaxed in front of the camera. We couldn't be happier with our decision and how the photos turned out.

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.

k and continue to recommend them to friends and family.

e, 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!

nd 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!

elt 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. 

re. 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 :)

for your wedding!!

fun. I love the aesthetic of all the pictures and am so happy with how they turned out.

e 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!!

ented the whole way through the Brooklyn Courthouse to family photos outside. Such an important day - so hard to pick our favorite photos

m 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.

rk with and Maria was excellent.

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!

o delivery. We can’t thank you enough!

te 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.

tographer 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!

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!

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

rocess 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

out 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.

nd 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!

on 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!

, 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!

stens to what clients are looking for and provides honest answers to what she can and will provide.

red 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!

ght 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!

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.

rried about the photos, because I know she takes editing and curating the gallery so seriously. I'm beyond thrilled, best decision I made

rtable 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!!

to 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!
