    How much is the deposit?

    A 30% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your wedding date. The remaining balance can be split into payments, with the final payment due 30 days before the wedding.

    Will we receive sneak peeks?

    Yes. You will receive Polaroid sneak peeks delivered at the end of your wedding day. Your full gallery will be delivered within 6 to 8 weeks after your wedding date.

    Will you help us with posing?

    Yes. I will guide you throughout the day with gentle direction so everything feels natural, effortless, and true to you. My approach is a mix of editorial and documentary, so you will never feel stiff or overly posed.

    How do we book?

    Submit an inquiry through the Inquire form and I will follow up with availability and next steps within 24 to 48 hours. If we are a good fit, a contract will be sent over and a 30% non-refundable deposit will be due to officially lock in your wedding date. So excited to work together! 🤍

    What if we do not need an engagement session?

    No problem. If you do not need an engagement session, you may apply a $350 credit toward your wedding package or rehearsal dinner coverage.

    Do you travel?

    Yes. I am based in Southern California and travel is available. There are no travel fees for weddings in San Diego + OC + LA.

    Where is the engagement session located?

    Engagement sessions take place in San Diego or the surrounding Southern California area. Once you book, I’ll send location recommendations based on your style and we’ll choose a spot that feels true to you. If you have a dream location in mind, I’m always happy to consider it.

    Can we add Super 8 or drone coverage?

    Yes. Super 8 and aerial add-ons are available upon request. Weather and location permitting for aerial coverage.

    Do all packages include a wedding timeline meeting?

    Yes. All packages include a 30-minute wedding timeline + details call.

    What if we are not ready to book our wedding yet?

    That is totally okay. Just Engaged Sessions are available even if you do not have a date or venue booked yet. If you decide to book wedding coverage within 30 days of your engagement session date, you may also be eligible for a $350 credit toward your wedding package.

    Do wedding packages include an engagement session?

    Yes. All wedding packages include an engagement session at no additional cost. If you do not want an engagement session, you may apply a $350 credit toward your wedding day coverage instead.

    Do you photograph proposals / surprise engagements?

    At this time, I’m not offering proposal coverage. My engagement session included in wedding packages is a “just engaged” couples session scheduled after the proposal.

    Does our Super 8 wedding film include sound?

    Super 8 wedding films are silent because the cameras were made before built-in audio recording was common. They capture film only, so your wedding film is thoughtfully set to music instead.

Hi, I’m Natalie, the photographer behind Natalie Smith Creative. I create timeless imagery on 35mm film and Super 8 with an editorial, documentary approach, capturing the in-between moments, quiet emotion, and the details that make your story feel like you. My work is rooted in visual storytelling, and I’m now booking a limited number of 2026 weddings for couples who want something timeless, cinematic, and intentional.

Based in Southern California. Travel available.
