Definitely will have him capture the best memories again! 50000000 stars!! “ -April W. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e60499be42d60ae3df5ca4/1549904270628-1I9LKNFYG1ACNJSNK9K0/sydney+and+rich.jpg Raves - creative and fun! Nathan (and Kayla) were the best wedding photographers we ever could have asked for! They remained attentive and professional, and their creativity and fun personalities won over everyone in attendance. Nathan also did a GREAT job of keeping the wedding party kids (flower girls & ring bearer) entertained and interested during the group photo process. Would absolutely recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e60499be42d60ae3df5ca4/1508540891682-JHPM5AT7B2SASWKQTF63/_NBP7042.jpg Raves Oh my word was Nathan great! He was nothing but kind, has SO much great advice and expertise, and made 2 relatively photo-awkward people feel good in front of the camera! He also was a huge help with the timeline of our wedding- when we should do things and in what order- had awesome picture ideas, and helped us to organize and prioritize what pictures and moments we most wanted to capture. We only met him the actual day of the wedding, but exchanged about a hundred+ emails and phone calls before then and we were thrilled with his professionalism, happy demeanor, and calm guidance. He even went out of his way to come for our rehearsal dinner and take beautiful pictures there as well! Nathan is awesome to work with, his pictures are great, he is a wonderful/reliable/expert person to work with, and we received a ton of compliments on him and his organization/demeanor/picture taking at the wedding, before the pics even got to us (some even 48h later!). You will NOT regret this hire!

techniques. I start with a sketch on paper which I then scan into my computer and refine digitally, separating each sketch into multiple layers. I use my laser to cut pieces out from mostly wood and MDF, then I paint and assemble everything to create a unique three-dimensional representation of the initial pen and ink exploration. Each piece is one of a kind. Mostly I just follow the dopamine.
