Natalie Mae
PHOTOGRAPHY
WHO I AM It was in high school when I first became interested in photography. Every year my school held an art show and senior year I submitted a couple pieces of work. I didn’t think that it would go anywhere, but I ended up placing 2nd in the photography category. Fast forward to college. Originally, I was a forensic psychology major. After a few semesters of that I decided psychology was not my thing. I transferred to Washtenaw Community College and switched majors to Photographic Technology. My favorite things to photograph are newborns, seniors and weddings. I love capturing peoples memories and preserving them for a lifetime. Nothing in life is certain, but knowing that you have your special moments documented gives everyone a piece of your life to look back on. When I’m not out photographing , I dedicate a lot of my time to various charities. The two major ones are the American Cancer Society and Shoots for a Cure. Both of them benefit cancer research or cancer patients. I’ve been participating in Relay for Life for the past three years, it’s truly one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Even if you don’t participate, I recommend attending a Survivors Lap, there’s nothing more moving than hearing the survivors stories. The other charity, Shoots for a Cure, is a non-profit organization of photographers that dedicate their time and skills to photograph cancer patients and their loved ones. Lastly, in my down time, I love spending time with my two dogs, Niko and Piglet. They’re like my children and the best models I’ve ever worked with!
WHAT TO EXPECT I am not the paparazzi, I won’t be in your face smothering you all day. However, I will be with you every step of the way, capturing the most important moments to the smallest of details as your wedding unfolds. As your photographer, I make it my priority to have your day run as smoothly as possible and stay on schedule. To do so every Wedding Collection includes two photographers, myself and an assistant. They act as the eyes in the back of my head and help me to keep everyone looking their best. A piece of hair out of place? No worry. Button undone on dad’s suit? My assistant’s on it! They also come in handy with tight timelines; they could be photographing the wedding party while I’m off with the both of you privately doing a few candid shots (and giving you a mini breather before you get the party started).

Love Love LOVE Natalie!
We met up to go over photos last night and there were so many fabulous shots I had a hard time deciding. (Normally I am not terribly pleased with the way I photograph, but Natalie Mae Photography can some how make any side my “good side”!) I used her for engagement shots, have her booked for my wedding, and you’d better believe that I’ll give her a call when we have kids! I live in Ypsilanti and she is most certainly worth the drive - but she comes to me too! Katie + Doug

I recently had the pleasure of working with Natalie for my engagement and wedding photos. I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. She was professional, yet fun at the same time. She gave excellent direction and truly made my photos precisely what I wanted. Melissa + Jason

Thank you so SO much for the amazing job you did at our wedding. Eric and I, and our families were so impressed with your professionalism, your creativity and making our experience extra special. We couldn’t have had a better day and you were a big part of it. I’ll recommend you to anyone who so much as mentions a wedding! Sarah + Eric

Natalie was an incredible photographer and she priced so reasonably. We loved all of our photos — she has such an artistic eye for angles. Bonus: She loves animals and was more than thrilled to capture our dog, Stoli, in all the shots for the rehearsal and wedding. LOVE HER! Erin + Topher

All prices include locations up to 30 miles away from Jackson. Any location beyond that will be subject to a travel fee depending on the distance traveled. November-March weddings receive 10% off their package price.
FAQ’S Can I make payments? Yes, you can! Monthly payments can be made, the amount will depend on what Collection you select. How much is the deposit? 50% of your Collection is due when the contract is signed. The remaining balance must be paid no later than two weeks prior to your wedding date. How much is your travel fee? For locations that are beyond 30 miles from Ann Arbor, a $25 travel fee will be added per every additional 30 miles. What if important events of our wedding last longer than the time allowed ? If things are not completed by the time scheduled time, no need to worry, I always allow a 20 minute flex. However if the time runs over that you will be charged accordingly, but I promise I won’t leave you hanging! Any additional time charge must be paid within 7 days of the wedding. How long after the wedding will I get the proofs? Proofs take 4–6 weeks, then I will give you a call to book your viewing/ordering session. Do you have a list of other wedding vendors that you recommend? Absolutely! Give me a call and we can chat! What is your cancellation policy? If your wedding is cancelled for any reason, the deposit is forfeited. Cancellation must be made in writing, signed by you, and sent via Certified Mail by the United States Post Office. If you fail to supply written cancellation as specified before the wedding date or you cancel within 30 days of the wedding date, you shall be required to pay the full balance due. With that said, if I am able to re-book your date with an equal or larger Collection your deposit will be refunded. What if I have to change my wedding date? That’s fine as long as I’m free on the new date and it is within 6 months of the original date. If it’s outside of the 6 months, a $100 rescheduling fee will be added to your Collection price.
