I can’t believe he’s getting married. Let me back up. I come from a family of 5 boys. ”Your poor Mother” I hear nearly every time I tell someone this. I am number 4. And Max, my younger brother is number 5. So naturally, we were all very excited (and a bit surprised : )…

10/13/2012 - 1:34 am
I just looked at this….I can’t believe that Max is old enough to get married…and talk about beautiful pics, that girl should be a model!
10/17/2012 - 12:17 am
Oh I love everything on this set of photos! The trees and the moon are so beautiful!
10/24/2012 - 2:38 am
Dude. These are freakin’ awesome. Mind blown. What a series.
In my opinion, Jennifer should host a seminar on how to correctly plan and execute the perfect wedding day. Her organization was immaculate, and she won her way into our hearts by scheduling more than enough time for portraits.The bride and groom were even able to enjoy their day with golfing for the guys and…
08/23/2012 - 1:33 pm
They look like a gorgeous couple!

09/14/2012 - 1:15 pm
Man, she’s gorgeous! The one of her lying down on the bench, and him bending over to kiss her is one of those pictures that makes you stop and do a double take. Great job!
04/09/2013 - 12:46 pm
Stunning stuff! Fab portrait work.
Weddings tend to represent the personalities of the bride and groom and the relationship that they share. The entire day is like a collage, uniting two very different families and synching them into absolute harmony. It brings together two distinct pasts, and blends them into one united future. It fuses two lives together ’til death…

And really. Can I live here?
09/14/2012 - 1:12 pm
Wow, you are an awesome photographer. And I love that last photo…
This wedding makes me happy. I love seeing families that gel so well together. The day started at Mallary’s home with both Mallary and Jonathan getting ready upstairs in separate rooms, and many family members downstairs laughing and getting to know each other better. It was just one of those really happy, perfect days that kept me…
07/12/2012 - 11:20 am
What a lovely, intimate wedding. Great job as always, Nate!
07/12/2012 - 8:10 pm
These are all so great, Nate! Your images tell a beautiful story of this sweet couples beginning…
I don’t think Jenny + Ben quite knew what they were signing up for when they asked to have their engagement pictures taken in McCall Idaho the day before Jenny’s brother’s wedding. I found a beautiful location in McCall, and had them meet me there. Over the next two hours, I convinced them to meander…
07/09/2012 - 7:24 pm
so pretty!
07/09/2012 - 11:40 pm
You two kiss a lot! I love these – especially the ones where you’re laughing! Brings back good memories of the fun we have and the fun you two WILL have. Great work!
07/10/2012 - 4:10 pm
Those are great!
07/10/2012 - 9:13 pm
BEAUTIFUL! The location is amazing! Did you do some hiking to get these great shots?
07/16/2012 - 12:15 pm
Beautiful work Nate! As always!
The goal of every photographer is to capture a frame of time, and preserve the emotion felt in that moment forever. Sometimes it is easy… most times it is difficult. Dan and Christa’s wedding day was a mixture of both. It was easy because of the enthusiasm expressed by everyone present. The raw emotion was…
07/02/2012 - 3:13 pm

You are hands down one of the best photographers I have ever met.
