KIND WORDS

Wellers Carriage House Saline wedding photographer

“Natalie is a true artist. She photographed our engagement shoot as well as our wedding and, we couldn’t be happier with her work. We used a historic venue for our ceremony, Greenmead in Livonia. Natalie captured the true spirit of that magical place and gave us memories to cherish. We found Natalie at a LGBTQ wedding expo and she proved herself to be not only professional but open and accepting, which is so important for members of our community. Thank you Natalie for your beautiful work. I have and will continue to recommend her to others.”

“We met up to go over photos last night and there were so many fabulous shots I had a hard time deciding. (Normally I am not terribly pleased with the way I photograph, but Natalie Mae Photography can some how make any side my “good side”!)

I used her for engagement shots, have her booked for my wedding, and you’d better believe that I’ll give her a call when we have kids! I live in Ypsilanti and she is most certainly worth the drive – but she comes to me too!”

“Natalie was an amazing photographer for our wedding day! She captured all the right moments and you could truly tell she loved what she was doing! She is also so adapting to any changed plans and brought a fun personable energy to our day. Our photos came out great and had to go get some printed immediately!! I Will definitely be recommending to any friends that need a photographer!!”

When you look back at your wedding photos, you are going to feel it all over again—the excitement, the love, the pure joy of the day. You’re going to remember the way your partner’s lips felt during your first kiss as a married couple, to hear the laughter when granny stole the dance floor with the Cupid Shuffle. These are the moments that matter, the ones that bring you right back to that incredible day, and my job is to make sure they live on forever in your images.
