ABOUT THE STUDIO
NATURAL LIGHTS PHOTOGRAPHY
the brainchild of Danielle, after glossing through her parents’ wedding album. She noticed moments were missing and felt an urge to fill the gaps. She craved the in-between action and created Natural Lights Photography to capture it. Over 20 years later and Natural Lights Photography is still going strong, with a personable and professional approach, while still having fun and caring about making clients feel comfortable, authentic and able to tell their unique story.
A few things we care about:
- marriage equality for everyone
- photographing everyone on the day (it’s not just about the bride)
- delivering the very best images without watermarks or logos
- being transparent with pricing with no hidden up-sells after the day
- helping clients with planning and making their experience unique
- cultivating an environmentally friendly business
- creating a fun and authentic experience for all families on portrait sessions
- sharing all life’s mile stones with our clients
- creating timeless works of art to hang on your walls and share with your family
