About Natalie Estess Photography
Natalie Estess Photography
Natalie Estess is a Washington DC-based wedding and portrait photographer specialized in creating dreamy, artful images that celebrate human connection and individuality. With a blend of editorial flare and heartfelt storytelling, Natalie creates photographs that are genuine, alive, and uniquely reflective of the people in front of her lens. If you're dreaming of a day that truly honors who you are and what matters most to you, you've come to the right place!
What sets me apart is the way I connect with every person in the room, whether it's your wedding day full of adventure or a portrait session capturing your truest self. My favorite thing ever is meeting people in those first few moments—exchanging smiles and easy conversation—and by the end, sharing hugs, gratitude, and seeing sparkles in their eyes. That connection is everything to me. Every photography session I approach is intentional, capturing not just the stunning highlights but also the intimate, soulful moments that show how it felt to be there, surrounded by love.

Thoughtful, Authentic, Talented and Kind
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Natalie to capture our wedding day. From the very beginning, her thoughtfulness and warmth put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and that genuine connection showed in every photo. Each one felt like us, not a posed version of someone else’s love story. What stood out most was Natalie’s authenticity and intuitive sense of timing. She captured quiet, in-between moments that we didn’t even realize were happening, moments we now treasure most. Her creative eye is extraordinary; she has a way of playing with light, texture, and emotion that made our photos feel like art without ever losing their realness. Natalie didn’t just document our day, she felt it with us. We’re so grateful for the care and artistry she brought to every frame. These are photos we’ll cherish for a lifetime, and so much of that is because of who she is behind the camera.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER YOU NEED
The BEST photographer in the Virginia. This is our second time working with Natalie, and we cannot speak more highly of her. First, she goes above and beyond, she travelled from DC to Virginia Beach to photograph my husband and I. Second, she is more than a talented photographer but an artist. Her work is so creative and she is able to bring so much life into her work. Third, and most important, she makes sure you are comfortable! Posing for photos can be so unnatural but not when you’re with Natalie. Think of your biggest hype man, best friend taking your pictures. That’s Natalie. We are so thankful for her!
Our favorite photo session EVER!
Congratulations, if you're looking for someone to capture a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you, look no further, you've found the woman! Natalie is simply the best-- she sees the abundance of beauty in the world and is truly gifted in capturing it moment by moment. She is one of those creative and passionate individuals who treasures her work and immerses herself in the art of it. Natalie is lovely to work with from start to finish. She balances being detail-oriented, organized, and "on top of it" with following her intuition, staying fully present in the moment, and having so much fun. We could not praise her photography or recommend her enough!
Engagement session
Natalie was so amazing throughout the whole experience!! She helped us with everything, from planning the location to outfits and vibes! She made us feel comfortable right away and we just had a fun day. Sometimes photos can feel like a chore, but Natalie had us laughing and smiling the whole time. The pictures turned out better than I could’ve imagined. I’m so thankful she captured us so well. We will cherish these photos forever!!!
