HI there! My name is Natalie and I own Natalie Kathryn Photo! I love having the privilege to capture you on the best day of your life! I absolutely love weddings and being able to be there for every part of your day!

“Wedding photos were such an important part in planning my wedding. I wanted to make sure I was investing in something high quality and would match the editing style my husband and I prefer. Natalie and her teams photos are just that. While she was who did all our final edits, she was not able to be present on my wedding day. Instead two girls who she works closely with did my wedding photos. I was a bit nervous about this at first but after working with Natalie I put full trust that her recommendations would not let me down. We are so thrilled with our sneak peaks and are so glad we trusted this team. Everyone was so great in making sure we got the posed photos we wanted but also capturing moments as they happened. Looking forward to receiving our full gallery. If anyone is looking for bright and romantic photos, look no further.”

Paige Danielle Photography

Starts at $2,500
Serves Pendleton, IN

To sum myself up in this “about you” section is nearly impossible so here are a few things you must know. I like to have a good time with fun, real people, who love to laugh. You can expect to see me always smiling and have no shame in dancing with you on the dance floor to get some of the best photos. I just celebrated my one year anniversary with my husband, Nick and I am obsessed with my pup, Rylee. We love to travel, try new things, and are almost always outside, but I'll always come in for my fave snack of a charcuterie board and glass of wine.

“We found Paige through an Instagram search of Indiana wedding photographers and fell in love with her style. I asked my brother who has a photographer eye for his opinion and he said, “she takes genuinely good pictures and doesn’t rely on a filter or editing to make them good.” So we booked her. And it was honestly the best decision my husband and I made. We booked her before any other vendor or even our venue so our wedding date revolved around having her as a photographer. She listened to every vision, thought, question we had and she made it feel like we knew her forever. When she did our engagement photos I was a little nervous at first because my husband is not a photo person, but she lead posing, positioning, and facial expressions so well. We were OBSESSED with our engagement photos and had them all over our reception and our house. On wedding day, the girls started to get behind with hair and make up and Paige had it all figured out. She added buffer time in the schedule and rearranged the schedule so that we were still on time for our ceremony. Before our first look, I felt like my hair piece was falling out and she fixed it so well that it held up for our grand entrance to the reception. Paige did so well with family portrait time and I have a huge family that she was able to wrangle and photograph the quickest and best I have ever seen. She helped pin up my bustle that was loose, carried our food so it wouldn’t spill on us, and took my hairpiece out for the reception repinning the loose hairs that stayed until our last dance. Now these are not in her job description but I feel are important to mention because she is the biggest reason our day ran so smoothly. She really thinks of everything and is prepared for everything. Paige made it feel like a friend was taking our pictures and we are SO grateful. We just have our sneak peeks right now but we are so excited to see the full gallery because the sneak peeks are stunning. My family and friends love the pictures so much. My husband’s grandma told me she looks through the sneak peeks before bed to relive the day because our photographer captured it so well she can remember every moment she looks at. Hiring Paige as your photographer is the best decision you could make for your day and when we start a family we will be using her again for maternity pictures.”

As a wedding photographer, I don’t just show up on your wedding day. I come alongside you so that your wedding photography journey is easy as possible. Putting people at ease and using locations wisely (aka: creating beautiful photos from not-so-beautiful places) is my jam!

“Julie is great. I first met her when she did my high school senior pictures and was impressed by how they turned out. My then-fiance and I asked if she would come shoot our wedding near Cinci (quite a drive for her) and she happily agreed. She was super sweet throughout the entire process. She did a complementary engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and used the opportunity to get to know both of us. I've never known a photographer to put actual effort into knowing their clients, until I met her. She definitely makes her clients feel uniquely cared for. Our wedding pictures turned out wonderfully. They are very colorful and bright, but not in a way that feels heavily edited or artificial. The pictures feel true to how my wife and I remember that day. The prints and books we ordered through her also turned out great. Overall, we cannot recommend Julie enough. Would rate six stars if we could.”

Fueled by equal parts Diet Coke and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile, and ask time to please slow down. Your story - your love - is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations over coffee, and in the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

“Cat was hands down the best decision I made regarding my wedding! She is organized, knowledgeable, kind, and insanely talented. She put myself and my husband at ease on the biggest day of our lives. She jumped in to help when needed and made sure the day ran smoothly. Her communication was exceptional from start to finish. She captured our day so beautifully! We are so thankful that we had Cat capture our special day!”

I started my photography and filmmaking journey in fall of 2022 as a 17 year old senior in highschool. Ever since then I’ve kept falling further in love with the craft. I specializes in capturing the special moments of your wedding. It's one of the biggest days of your life; it deserves to be turned into art.

“Owen is very professional. He is a great communicator and makes you feel relaxed and reassured that everything will be handled well. His photo style is beautiful and he’s truly a gifted photographer. Highly recommend!”
