Frequently asked questions
I'm based in Los Angeles & mainly photograph in OC and LA but love traveling around SoCal!
I do not alter body size. I believe that we are all beautiful the way we are. I can photoshop any blemishes that would be gone in a few weeks (acne, bruise, scrape) and if requested, I can lightly whiten your teeth. If there is something you're self conscious about or if you have a preferred side, just let me know at the session and I can pose you in certain ways.
A million times yes! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!
Yes! If your venue needs my insurance information, just let me know and I can send it over to them.
Once booked, I send out my session guide which has tips on how to pick your outfits!
I photograph weddings with two cameras (Sony A7iii) at the same time. Both cameras have two SD card slots. Which means that when I take a photo it's being saved to two different SD cards at the same time. When I go home I download the SD card along with the backup SD card to two hard drives (my main hard drive and my backup hard drive) so that your photos are saved in two different locations.
For weddings and elopements, you'll receive 75+ edited photos per hour. For an engagement session, you'll receive 50 edited photos per hour. These photos are available to download from your online gallery. You can also purchase prints through the gallery's shop.
Your photos are delivered through an online gallery. It's super easy to access and can be viewed on your computer or phone. All photos are available to download. If you would like to see an example of what this looks like, just let me know.
I don't send any un-edited/raw files. Most of the magic happens during the editing process, so without that step your photos are only halfway done!
It will take roughly 6 to 8 weeks to receive your final wedding photos and 2 weeks for couple's sessions. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why I need this amount of time. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.
I'd love for you to print your favorite photos! You can easily order photo prints through your online gallery. Or if you would like to print them yourself, you can just download your photos and take them to your preferred print shop.
Of course! Just send me an email letting me know you would like to view a full wedding gallery and I'll send you a link.
Yes! For couple's sessions 50% is due at the time of booking and the other 50% is due two weeks before the session. For weddings, it's a 30% deposit to save your date. After that, I have some couples that make monthly payments and some that do 2 to 4 payments. When we set up our call, we can go over what works best for you. As long as your deposit is paid to book your spot and you are fully paid two weeks before your wedding.
Life is complicated and I understand things can happen. The deposit and any payments made are non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other bookings for your wedding date. I hope you understand as it's insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation. If you need to reschedule we can definitely do that as long as I'm available on the new date. There is no fee/ added expenses to reschedule or cancel.
Yes! Once you're booked, I'll send over my wedding guide which has my vendors list.
I recommend one for a few reasons! First, my style of photography works best when we've gotten to know each other. An engagement session is the perfect time for us to hang out & spend time together before your day! Its also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera.
It's completely natural to feel a little bit nervous/awkward when you're not used to having your photo taken, but your engagement session will make you two pros by the time the wedding rolls around!
If you would like to book with me, I recommend booking sooner than later. I've had to let quite a few 2024 couples know that I'm booked on their wedding dates.
Your wedding date is saved once your deposit is paid and contract is signed.

"We have done multiple shoots with Natasha and we have absolutely loved each one. She is extremely professional, super easy to work with, and most importantly ensures that each session reflects the love between you and your partner. She goes above and beyond for all her clients and has a true passion for what she does. I cannot recommend her enough! We are so excited to have her capture our big day!"
"Couldn't ask for a better photographer!"
"She was super quick to respond to my inquiry and helped plan out some important details for my mini wedding ceremony. Her website and guides are so useful and it's clear that Natasha puts in a lot of thought into all aspects of her work. She rolled with our day and helped make my partner and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. We loved her vision for the photos, and our jaws dropped when we received the gallery of photos! Absolutely beautiful and unique. Our friends and family were also raving about the photos and said we made a great choice in booking with Natasha- we agree! I hope we get to work with Natasha again because she is the sweetest and most talented!"

"Natasha is a DREAM to work with."
"I cannot say enough great things about our engagement shoot experience with Natasha!"
Here are the top reasons why I loved working with Natasha and look forward to working with her again:
1. Booking is easy, and her responses are quick!
2. Natasha is into the details of my photo shoot and cares about it as much (if not more) than I do. She's invested into each detail.
3. Natasha asked me a ton of questions about the aesthetic, the vibe, ect. She suggested locations, and even sent me a file with examples of what outfits to wear.
4. Natasha sent sneak peaks within 24 hours and the images were more than I had dreamed of!
5. She was so kind, guiding, and leading the entire photo shoot. Instead of it being awkward and long, it was so enjoyable and natural. She is so great at making you feel comfortable and genuinely laugh! Thank you Natasha!
