Boise Wedding Photography by Nate Perkes focuses bringing a fresh, modern approach to capturing your day.
Hi there! If you don’t already know, I was chosen to attend an INCREDIBLE 5 day workshop with Jasmine Star and the CreativeLIVE team that will be broadcast LIVE from http://www.creativelive.com/. You can check out a post all about it here. If you didn’t tune in yesterday, I think they’re running a “re-watch” until today’s…
Life has been crazy lately, and I’ve definitely neglected the blog. But great and amazing things are happening. For example, I’m sitting in the Las Vegas airport waiting for my connecting flight to Seattle to attend the Jasmine Star and CreativeLIVE workshop! I’ll be posting every day this week bits of “catch up” and also…
En route to Boston for a corporate photo shoot, I met my Mom, Jen Perkes, in NYC to do a Bridal shoot of Jess. The shoot was unbelievably fun; lots of laughing, lots of screaming because the light was so good, LOTS of staring onlookers, and lots of getting kicked out of buildings I guess…
Wow! How awesome is it that you and your mom both share a passion (and a TALENT!) for photography! Fantastic images and well worth the run-ins with security guards 
Nate
Lovin these, shots, I think these are my favorites you have done. You just get better and better, Great photos, very well done, Love the black and white.
Nate,

Kate

Been MIA for a bit. Don’t have a ton of time right now to post but here’s just a preview of what I’ve been up to: Manhattan+bridal shoot=boo ya! More to come…
Oh my goodness! That first shot is AMAZING. Hauntingly beautiful and mysterious. I LOVE it! Great job!
VERY COOL NATE! Wish I was in New York, super jealous your with Mom and Dad too! Tell them Hi and Hello and we love them… Can't wait to see more pics
Today I was finishing up my edits for Carlo and Amy Jo, when I came across these two photos, both almost the same, except one was shot at f/7.1 and the other was shot at f/1.4. We had just shot a few photos of her beautiful ring, which is why I had it set at…
Yes, bokeh is absolutely much better. But at f7.1 it's quite a bit sharper than f1.4: look at her face, his hair, his shirt – but most importantly, her ring.
Too true, 1.4 is great but 1.2 is just sooo unreal. Nice work and well done
Oh yes, the 1.2 is "un real", and I do love my 1.4…. But in the end they are all just tools. Oh, and the "soft ring" at 1.4? I think the photo is of the bride, not the ring. I think you had already shot the ring, right?
If you’ve seen my “Favorites” section at the top, you’ll have seen that Jasmine Star has been one of my favorite photographers for quite a while, among a few other photography “giants”, that I look to for inspiration and motivation to continue working, and shooting, and improving. A few weeks ago, I saw this post,…
Nate,

Thanks for the thanks but anyone that knows you understands that you are the genius behind all your work…with a good measure of Luisa creativity and inspiration of course. It was so fun to be a witness of "take 3" and laugh with you guys through the many shots. I'm still waiting for the outtake video. Shoot on, little Bro!

It’s been an amazing last few days. I got chosen as one of six photographers to attend a workshop with Jasmine Star (more on that later), I turned 24 (woohoo!

Love your work Nate and thanks so much for posting your days with Jasmine Star!
These are beautiful! Wow. While I was watching Creative Live, I didn't realize you were such a talented photographer!! Those two images you showed at Creative Live that you took blew me away though. Seriously. They were amazing.
I could tell just from watching this past week that you are such a likable and genuine person, Nate. You are going to do great things! Or should I say, continue to do great things!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful images. And don't be afraid to shoot all manual!! I have faith in you! There's so much more room for creativity and it's a lot more fun. =)
Amazing pictures, you're very talented!! Amy Jo is so much fun, what an incredible time you three must have had!
These are so inspiring Nate! Thanks for sharing!
