Libra Photographic Full Description
Photography should be your number one priority when planning your big day. If you take a moment to think about it, a photographer will be there by your side from the moment you are getting dressed, to the moment you cut your cake, till the end of the event. As the photographer, I will be right there by your side creating a personal even intimate relationship with the couple. There are numerous benefits to planning ahead of time that will ease your wedding day if you take them into consideration from the beginning, the wedding planner is important but once the wedding day begins their work is done and mine begins. I will be by the couple’s side more then they realize. How can your photographer be a coordinator and manage to get his work done? It is a well-known fact that practice makes perfect and I have participated in numerous beautiful weddings and have learned a trick or two to help you out. As a documentary wedding photographer, I have to: Know, be attentive, anticipate and have vision. All these skills were gathered over time and with a passion for the art of photography. As a photographer, I know how you should pose when it comes to the photo shoot of the bride and the groom. Most people think striking a pose is artistic, this is until you see the end result and regret not taking my advice. When you are seeing the photos, the wedding has passed and there are no do-overs. I have a sense of the relationship between the bride and groom. Masked behind my camera I begin to notice the way they move around each other and it becomes clear to me how I need to capture their specific style. In case of an emergency as an experienced photographer, I offer more than my camera skill set, I offer my advice and coordinate the couple accordingly to that specific situation so that they can move past and enjoy the rest of their event.

Our wedding….. finally

What can I say about Nathan? He was quite truly the icing on the wedding cake! We were one of those couples that had to cancel because of covid, a year on and we finally got our day, I’m not someone who likes to have photos taken, and this worried me a lot, I didn’t even have to say anything, Nathan obviously picked up on it, chatted to me about how I’m to just enjoy the day and forget he was there, there were times I was in front of him but forgot he had a camera in his hand. He was brilliant! Lots of people commented saying he was like a ninja, he was here, there and everywhere!! Didn’t have to wait long after the wedding to receive our amazing photos, ones that we will treasure forever. Highly recommend libra photographic!!!!

Our perfect day perfectly captured

MASSIVE shoutout to the best photographer ever, Nathan (libra photographic) captured our day just perfectly. We had a very ‘busy’ wedding with lots going on and he glided through it seamlessly, capturing both the big showstopper moments and the intimate raw moments too. From planned shots to totally natural ‘in the moment’ images - he got it all. He was totally on board with our ideas and best of all he blended in like a guest - couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Nathan is an awesome photographer! He had a really natural gift for getting people to smile at just the right time.

As well as his experiences of many venues and getting the best from them for your day! Literally can’t recommend him enough!!! He will not disappoint!!

The absolute best, you will not find a more perfect photographer!

We had the most wonderful experience with Nathan on our wedding day. He is so friendly and approachable and totally made me feel at ease which I felt was so important, as I was worried about having my photo taken constantly! He knew just where to go for the best shots and went along with some of my silly ideas and was up for anything, even balancing over a puddle to get a perfect reflection shot. The photos were more than I ever hoped they would be, he creates magic! I could not fault Nathan, he is an absolute pro, hands down the best thing we spent our money on on the day!

The best memories captured perfectly to treasure

From meeting Nathan at a wedding fair we knew he was the photographer for us! He got our desires and made them into dreams come true! It was a bumpy road in the lead up to our wedding due to covid getting in the way, but Nathan supported us, and gave us plenty of reassurance. On the day of our wedding he made sure that everything we’d hoped for was achieved! All our guests commented on how smart he looked and also how lovely he was, so many of them thought he was a guest as he fitted in so well!!! If we were to do it all over again, we would make sure Nathan was there to capture it!! We have the most amazing photos now to treasure for a lifetime!!! 🥰

He blended in so well he practically disappeared

Look no further than Nathan at Libra photographic...I mean it! It was the best choice we EVER could have made in the sea of choices that is wedding photography. He did the most wonderful job, catching all the honest personal heartfelt moments and the dramatically beautiful magazine-worthy images. He blended in so well he practically disappeared, so as to never be intrusive, still the camera never missed a thing! He invested so much of himself in our day, befriending our nervous dog, calming the flower girl, and even hunting down my brothers and herding them away from the bar for those precious shots of us all together. He was honestly excited on our behalf for all the stunning little details he could capture. he really understood the feeling we were after, and how important it was to record such things on our special day. Of course, it was over all too quickly, but we have all these gorgeous memories that we will cherish forever. You could never put a price on that. Thank you, Nathan for all your time, passion and hard work. Rachelle and Louis

it felt like he was actually one of the guests

Nathan photographed our wedding on April 25th and he did a brilliant job. From the outset he was professional and organised yet friendly and approachable. He explained, very clearly, everything I would need to do (which was sorely needed guidance!) and was great at checking details to ensure he got everything just right. On the day itself, he was absolutely ace. He turned up on time and managed to keep me calm, relaxed and smiling pre-ceremony (no mean feat I can tell you!). The actual day was very long, a 7 am start, but Nathan took it all in his stride and worked incredibly hard from start to finish. Further, he was a lovely addition to the day itself, helping make everyone laugh and feel at ease. To be honest it felt like he was actually one of the guests which were really lovely. Nathan's relaxed, fun attitude did not deter from his professionalism and he actively worked to keep the day on track and got a ton of EXCELLENT photos done! When I got tired of being photographed he managed to spur me on and dealt with my ambivalence perfectly. This meant I got some really beautiful pictures that I otherwise would have missed. Nathan promptly produced the photos after the wedding and emailed them to me before they went live on his website so I could check them through and remove any I was not so keen on. The photos themselves are beautiful, fun, creative and elegant - I could not have asked for more, they are a lovely reminder of a great day. Since the wedding, I have had a number of friends and family comment on what a good photographer Nathan was and how well he managed everyone. I would highly recommend Nathan to anyone who wants an honest, organised, hardworking yet fun, positive and creative photographer, who doesn't just take photos at your wedding but actually actively adds to the day itself. Thank you, Nathan, very much.

always gets everyone grinning from ear to ear

I've been to lots of weddings over the years and Nathan is the best photographer I've come across. He has an incredible manner, always gets everyone grinning from ear to ear, always in the right place at the right time, and never in the way (in that annoying way that some photographers have!). That's why we got him to do our wedding earlier this year, and we couldn't be happier with the photos. Nathan, you're a legend, thank you!
