Philosophy

Hi, I'm Natalie Franke. I'm a dreamer, an artist & free-spirit. Ive been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer who specializes in capturing life's most precious moments.

I'm located out of Annapolis, Maryland - the cutest little nautical town in the world! I'm one semester away from my Visual Studies degree in the psychology of seeing from the University of Pennsylvania; graduation is quickly approaching!

I'm recently engaged to my longtime sweetheart, Hugh - who is my best friend in the entire world! We've been together for almost six years and will be planning our very own wedding this year... it's promising to be quite an adventure! If you follow my blog, you'll be hearing more about that in the near future!

I've been photographing weddings for just over three years and have been published in Woman's Day Magazine, Washingtonian Bride & Groom, Bride's Maryland Magazine, and The Knot: MD, DC, & VA Magazine! My work has also resulted in three consecutive Wedding Wire Bride's Choice Awards (2010, 2011, & 2012) as well as winning recognition by Capital Style Magazine as the Female Wedding Photographer of the Year.

I have the best job in the world. There is no doubt about that.
