Cinematic Love Stories in Newfoundland
BASED IN clarenville, nl
Authentic, cinematic storytelling for laid-back couples & families
Whether you’re getting married, dating, raising tiny humans (or fur kids), or just wanna freeze a season of life before it flies by — I’m here for it.
I’m not about perfect poses or getting your toddler to “say cheese.” I’m about capturing the real stuff: the belly laughs, the dirty knees, the cuddles on the couch, and the moments that make you say, "yep, that’s us."
If it’s meaningful to you, it’s worth photographing.
YOUR STORY,
ARTFULLY TOLD.
meet the photographer
Hey, I'm Nate!
I was born and raised in a small town on the East Coast of Newfoundland. After I graduated high school, I headed off to the big city, but don't worry — I'm still a bayman at heart.
I began my photography journey as a landscape photographer, so my style gravitates towards showing off our breathtaking landscapes here on the island. Specializing in environmental portraiture, I love working with clients who share an appreciation for beautiful landscapes and aren't afraid to hike an East Coast Trail, venture into a forest, or explore a secluded beach.
When I’m not shooting weddings, I’m exploring Newfoundland in my Tacoma, hanging with my dogs, or chasing the perfect landscape shot. I believe in making the most of life, and that’s exactly how I approach weddings — documenting the day as it unfolds, with all the love, chaos, and joy that makes it yours.

"THE WAY NATE CAPTURES CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE IS PURE MAGIC. I’VE NEVER FELT MORE COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF A CAMERA, AND IT SHOWS IN EVERY PHOTO."
Wondering if we're a good fit?
You want someone who gets it — who knows when to step back, when to lean in, and when to let things unfold. The real stuff: your kid squeezing your hand, your partner’s glance when no one’s watching, your dog stealing the show.
I’m more like a friend than a vendor. I’ll stay until the last song and happily suggest a post-wedding McDonald’s run. If you’re after stiff, overly posed photos and a super formal vibe, we’re probably not a match — and that’s okay.
My approach is simple: capture the moments you didn’t even realize were happening. The belly laughs, windblown hair, happy tears — framed against Newfoundland’s rugged coastlines, hidden waterfalls, and dramatic landscapes. No forced poses. Just authentic, emotion-filled memories.
Testimonials
"Nathan is one of my favorite people so it was an easy decision to hire him as our photographer for the day. I’ve been to other weddings where Nathan was the photographer and he is a very fun photographer to spend the day with and his energy is top notch. Leading up to our wedding I sent Nathan some examples of wedding photos I was going for and he nailed it and exceeded my expectations. I didn’t expect to love so many of our photos, but they turned out perfect!"

“Nathan is a one of my best friends. When I got engaged the first thought was to have him In my wedding party but I simply knew I didn’t want anyone else to take my photos! I picked my wedding date around his availability before I booked anything! He is so incredibly talented, such a joy to be around and will make your day run so smoothly! Taking Nathan to Mexico for a week to shoot our destination wedding was a no brainer for us! Book him! You won’t regret it! ♥️”

Testimonials
“Nathan is incredible, he has been photographing my family since I was pregnant on my first son 5 years ago! He’s an absolute treasure who will make you feel so at ease and comfortable in front of a camera. It always blows my mind how great our pictures turn out with uncooperative kids, dog and partner 😂 We love Nathan dearly and would never search out anyone else to photograph our family 🥰 He’s the best!”
The Hayse Family
Testimonials
“Nathan was likely the best decision we made. If you want good photos and good vibes, book him! From making us feel the most comfortable, to laughing with us all day, searching for our missing gifts, and to reminding us to cut our cake lol. Nathan sent me photos on the wedding night of me and my grandmother dancing, and a few days later sent us a link to our massive preview gallery! The photos speak for themselves and I cannot wait to see the rest!”
The Bishops
Testimonials
“After standing in a few weddings, I knew exactly what I wanted in a photographer, and Nathan checked every single box off! Nathan is so kind, caring, and hilarious. He made our day go by so smoothly and he made us all feel so good about ourselves. We literally met him the day of our wedding and felt like he was our best friend by the end of the night. I forgot a bag at one of our photo locations, and we were sort of late to our reception, Nathan didn’t hesitate, and said I will grab it and saved the day!”
The Browns
Testimonials
“When we confirmed that our wedding would be in Clarenville, I had hoped that Nathan would be available for our wedding day, and luckily he was! Nathan is exceptional at photography. As soon as he came to the venue in the morning, he made us all feel so comfortable and at ease being photographed all day. Nathan was so easy going and helped make our day run so smoothly. He helped to keep us on time and ensured that we were able to take all of the pictures that we had hoped.”
The Woodfines
Testimonials
“I truly don’t know where to start with Nathan. He is a phenomenal photographer who made us feel SO comfortable behind the camera. He captured moments that I didn’t even realize he was there for! (Which is how it should be in my opinion.) I don’t like feeling like there’s a million cameras and a million eyes on me and Nathan never felt me feel like that. I love the candid shots, I love the little details he got, his attention to detail is on point. Nathan made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.”
