5 out of 5. Recommended by 100% of couples
All you need to do is take a stroll through her galleries to see the magic this beautiful human makes. We had a pretty random, quickly put together elopement(thanks corona) & the most important thing I could think of for the day was " I have to find the right photographer to document this". Natasha (& Brian) hiked up a mountain in the mud and rain, in 38 degree weather for us, and managed to capture the moodiest, most wonderful photos. I particularly loved her work because I felt like she captured little stories, not just pictures. When I tell you my make up was a little runny, my hair was coming undone, and my husband and I were soggy & shivering, you're probably thinking 'what a nightmare'. That’s how you know just how incredible your photographer is... When you get the photos back and somehow the hot mess that was a perfectly imperfect day suddenly becomes a dramatic documentary. We couldn’t be happier with the whole gallery. She was super responsive and communicative, punctual, and most of all, so sweet and personable. We both felt very comfortable which helped us in the awkward "I dont know what to do for these photos" thing we all go through. I cant say enough nice things, i'd go on and on; but this review would be ridiculously long. All I can say is thank you so very much. 1000/10.
I emailed Natasha after one of my best friends used her for her elopement photos and instantly thought she was the sweetest person ever. We are over the moon for the photos Natasha took for us. They are whimsical and romantic while still capturing our silly side and the icing on the cake is she even got photos of us with our dogs!! We are so happy. Thank you so much!
Natasha is an amazing photographer, and you should absolutely hire her for your wedding. She responded quickly when we first reached out, and we were sold after just a few minutes of looking at her previous photos and speaking with her on the phone. Our package included an engagement shoot (which we definitely recommend!), and she had terrific suggestions for location, especially since she was so familiar with the area (NY). This was a great opportunity to get to know her, her partner Brian, and their awesome dog Fern. The entire experience easily could have been stressful, especially since we’ve never really had professional photographs taken, but Natasha’s expertise and overall good vibes made it a really fun experience. The photos were beautiful and there were a ton to choose from!
Natasha also had the perfect level of involvement in the months leading up to the wedding. She was always ready to offer advice or help us planning, but didn’t ask for a lot of time for us, which was much appreciated during the busy times. The actual day of the wedding couldn’t have gone more smoothly. They had a depth of knowledge of the venue that made sure we got the most beautiful photos possible. They were able to get through the more “formal” family photos quickly and efficiently, and they knew the time frame completely. But maybe most importantly, they were fun and calming to be around. We never felt stressed during our photos, and we enjoyed every minute. When we got our photos back, they were delivered through an online portal and the whole presentation was fabulous. I was able to facetime and watch my parents look through the album themselves for the first time, and we loved every single photo. Natasha is a unique talent. We wouldn’t have changed anything. If you are fortunate enough to get the opportunity to work with her, you should absolutely do so.

Natasha is such an amazingly talented photographer/artist/person. My fiance and I were sure that we made complete fools of ourselves and looked completely awkward during our engagement and wedding photoshoots but once we received our photos we were shocked at how beautiful they turned out. She quite literally captured the essence of our love. We look forward to working with her in the future for every and any event that we'll need photos for. She is perfection!
Natasha, and her partner Brian, were truly wonderful, and our wedding was made so much more relaxing and enjoyable with them behind the lens. Natasha made a big chunk of what we thought we would be nervous about (posing, cheesy fake smiles, being watched) simply disappear. She kept us acting like ourselves, rarely asked us to pose, instead giving us cues like "just talk to each other". I think a big part of her success is she took the time to get to know us, and by the end of everything, genuinely felt like a friend. We had her at our engagement party as well as our engagement shoot and wedding, and the photos are the most beautiful, most "us" we ever could have hoped for. Totally exceeded expectations. I would recommend her to anyone getting married or in need of professional photographs.
From the start, she was accommodating and responsive. The lighting was difficult to shoot, but she managed to capture the day beautifully!
I interviewed quite a few photographers for my wedding and Natasha immediately stood out in our initial conversations. She was the only photographer who was not only talented, but also had a very positive, calming energy. I really needed that on my big day!
My makeup appointment fell behind schedule and without asking, Natasha assured me that she could improvise and ended up producing the most beautiful shots of my bridal party. All the shots were stunning--she made me look like I wasn't a bridezilla! Having her there was like having an extra maid of honor, so grateful I found her when I did.

When my husband and I had to postpone our wedding to next year because of COVID, we knew we still wanted to have a small ceremony with immediate family this year. Natasha was SUPER accommodating with changing our original wedding date to next year AND was also available (and super supportive) for our new date for our "microwedding". The pictures she took were amazing, everything we expected and more. She captured the happiness, laughs, and genuine moments AND sent them to us in such a small amount of time. I can't wait for her to capture those moments next year as well. She is super kind, friendly, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
My husband and I live near NYC, but planned our wedding to take place on the shores of Lake George, where I’ve spent summers since childhood. We knew that setting everything up over a distance would make it all a little trickier. Finding a photographer could’ve been frustrating, but we were fortunate enough to stumble across Natasha’s website. It turned out that she was happy to make the trip upstate to shoot our wedding, and was so easy to work with and accommodating that it really made taking our photos a pleasure. Even my husband, who hates having his picture taken, was thrilled with how amazing they turned out. We can’t recommend Natasha highly enough!
I am a meticulous person...it is a curse and a gift. I needed a photography who could give me more than the "average" and "predictable". The first time I had the pleasure of meeting her i knew I made a business relationship I intend to keep for the rest of my life! She listened to very crazy desire and wish my heart commanded, and when I asked for her opinions and suggestions as a professionalism she knew exactly the kind of look I was aiming for. I was very undecided about the location of where I wanted my photos to be. Ms. Shapiro was the one that suggested where we eventually has the shot and it came out better than I expected. Her ability to work with my busy schedule was very appreciated, as my work schedule can be very unpredictable! She was of course and naturally very punctual, extremely prepared with every thing a professional shot should need. With her exquisite attention to detail I felt SO comfortable getting in front of the lens. ( Besides the usual selfie I am not one to take a lot of phots of myself.) She was able to catch all the emotion and strength I envisioned while also catching those raw candid moments that can not simply be posed or planned. My photos were delivered to me virtually immediately and I almost cried when I saw them. These pictures will grace my parents photo albums, be the center piece of my grandparents shrine decided to their grandchildren's milestones, and will truly be a fantastic way to remember such an important day and time in my life. Whenever I think photography in the future she will be the one allowed to take photos of the most precious and special times in my life!
