“Thank you for being the best wedding photographer in the whole world! We love our wedding photos!”

“Natalie absolutely blew my already very high expectations out of the water.”
“I am a Southern California wedding coordinator, and I was in awe over Natalie’s talent when I found her! Right away I felt a connection to how she captured such pure and beautiful moments. One of the most important jobs on your wedding day is given to who you entrust to document the memories — & I knew after meeting her that she would be my wedding photographer!
Natalie absolutely blew my already very high expectations out of the water. She is SO good at what she does. She knew when to allow us to have space + be in the moment, and when to direct + take charge! You want to be able to get caught up in the moments on your wedding day and not have to worry about photos! She did such a wonderful job at communicating before our wedding day that I felt my vision was channeled into her mind. She made sure we got all the shots we needed which allowed us to ENJOY + have FUN. From standing on chairs, to driving us up hills, to dancing with us on the dance floor, Natalie did whatever it took to get the most raw and sincere footage of our most special day. My husband and I cry every time we look through our wedding album and that is a huge thanks to Natalie Schutt Photography."

“My family and friends are still talking about how much we loved Natalie.”
"Natalie is the best photographer a wedding couple could hope for – and the sweetest! From the first Skype with her from NYC, my husband and I knew we picked the right photographer. We flew out to California for our engagement shoot; she made us feel so comfortable. Her personality is so wonderful to be around, we felt like we had known her forever. We had such an amazing time on the beach shooting our engagement pictures; we didn’t want the evening to end!
On my wedding day, Natalie captured all of the moments I wanted to remember, not just my beautiful venue, gorgeous dress, or the cake – but the joy on my father’s face as he saw me for the first time in my wedding dress and the look in my new husband’s eyes as he saw me walk down the aisle!
Natalie’s love for photography and genuine excitement about my big day truly enriched my wedding. She is a true artist with an excellent eye for lighting + design, which she skillfully brought together in the most breathtaking photographs – just STUNNING! I absolutely LOVE all the photos!
My family and friends are still talking about how much we loved Natalie. She is just a pleasure to work with – one of a kind. Natalie, I can’t thank you enough for capturing my dream wedding. You are so amazing and I can’t wait for you to capture another life event for me or my friends and family! "

“Natalie is the most fun + joy filled human I’ve ever met - and it totally shines through her photography.”
"My husband and I knew choosing a wedding photographer would be our toughest task of wedding planning. After all, the person we chose would be the one we'd be trusting to capture the best day of our lives. After some intense searching for a wedding photographer I came across Natalie’s Instagram. I immediately knew she was the one!
Making initial contact (and over all communication throughout the whole wedding planning process) with Natalie was so easy. She always responded quickly and answered any questions/concerns we had. When I first met Natalie, it was as if she was my long lost friend - I felt totally comfortable with her as we laughed and talked about the big day. Natalie is the most fun + joy filled human I’ve ever met - and it totally shines through her photography.
My husband and I were able to throughly enjoy our wedding day and I feel like we have Natalie to thank for that! Our minds were at ease knowing she would be there to photograph all the littlest moments + details throughout the day. Having her capture our wedding day was an absolute DREAM! We now have gorgeous & timeless photos that we're going to cherish forever. We can’t thank Natalie enough!!"

“The gift of her presence and love is extraordinary, and I promise you that it extends beyond anything you could ever hope or expect to receive from any wedding vendor.”
“Natalie is the most professional, genuine, and talented wedding photographer. I promise you that you cannot and simply will not find a lovelier, more generous, or more brilliant person to help you sidestep stress and make the wedding planning process and wedding day a joy.
At our wedding, three different people asked me if I'd later share her contact information with them for whenever they got married. Just think about that for a moment: three people were so blown away by Natalie's warmth, energy, and beautiful, bubbly personality that they would hire her on the spot without having yet seen her stunning work and even though they weren't engaged. Natalie's smile brightens up an entire room, and she has a truly remarkable way of making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She'll make you laugh, she'll keep your energy up, she'll capture the moments you dreamed would one day hang on your walls, and most of all, she will make you feel like your day, your marriage, and your love are the center of the entire world.
This gift of her presence and love is extraordinary, and I promise you that it extends beyond anything you could ever hope or expect to receive from any wedding vendor. I cried when she sent us our photos because they are so profoundly beautiful and so full of the true emotion that she naturally drew from even the most reserved of our family members. Every photo was so natural and full of light and joy. Natalie has so much talent, and if you're one of her brides you'll quickly realize how lucky you are to have someone care so deeply about you and about capturing your special day.
Before our wedding, Natalie spoke with me over email and on the phone, sent a thoughtful questionnaire to help us articulate our aesthetic and photography hopes, sent a quick engagement gift, and even checked in over text to make sure I was doing well the week before the wedding. After the wedding, she sent cute thank you gifts and GORGEOUS photos (you will love yours too!). But my favorite memory will always be from our wedding day when she took a moment to dance with my shy 5 year old nephew and draw him out of his shell so he could enjoy the party. The huge smile on his face will always be one of my most precious moments of our wedding day. My nephew, like so many of our guests, still ask about Natalie all the time. It was a pleasure to work with Natalie and to get to know her, and I hope you too will be fortunate to experience Natalie's light, love, and unparalleled talent.”

“We love what she Provided us. Thanks to Nat, we will be cherishing these precious photos forever.”
“I knew even before Austin and I got engaged that Natalie was the person I wanted to photograph our wedding. I have known Natalie for years through Chi Omega at Cal Poly. She took a mini photo session of us 5 years ago and the photos were stunning. Natalie's personalty is infectious, she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and is a pure joy to be around.
Fast forward to planning our wedding, I made sure she was available for our date. A month later, we met her in a golden field in Southern California for our engagement photos (a spot she recommended that couldn't have been more perfect). She made us laugh the entire time — she is the absolute sweetest person to be around. Not only that, but she gave THE BEST pointers so we felt stunning, and it proved true: our pictures turned out beautiful. On our wedding day, she made the timeline of everything flow seamlessly. Our photos were the last thing we had to worry about because we knew they were in the best hands!
Natalie was such a light throughout our engagement season/wedding. From her excitement for our big day to praying for our marriage to the countless phone calls, texts, and answering any and all of our questions-- she was such a blessing. Natalie will be one of the BEST decisions you will make while planning your wedding, second to marrying your best friend. Seeing Natalie’s photos truly allowed us to relive our wedding day all over again. We love what she provided us. Thanks to Nat, we will be cherishing these precious photos forever.
Natalie- we love you so much and cannot thank you enough!!!”
