About Natalie Thomson Photography

Natalie Thomson Photography

Business owner

I'm Natalie, I am a local photographer based in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA. I mostly focus on intimate and smaller elopements, weddings, and events. The Santa Barbara Courthouse is often where you will find me, photographing civil weddings/elopements, and sometimes bigger weddings in the Mural room or Sunken Gardens. For the past 20 years I've worked on over 230 weddings (and counting!).

I capture a balance of posed must-have shots along with more creative and romantic photos. My style of photography is clean, fresh, and modern with a touch of femininity. I am very responsive and organized to ensure your memories are captured in the best way that they can be!

I’m so glad we hired Natalie as our photographer. Her communication was excellent and I felt completely confident going into my wedding day with her by my side. The photos we received were exactly what I had hoped for and truly exceeded my expectations. She delivered the photos incredibly quickly- about 6 days after the wedding- which was a wonderful surprise. Thank you, Natalie for the beautiful photos and for capturing our day so perfectly.
What a great choice!

Natalie was extremely professional and kind, and always put us at ease. We were a bit nervous about being in front of the camera, but she guided us on how to pose and bring out the best of our features. Her knowledge of all courthouse locations allowed us to get great photos at the best spots. We are thrilled with our photos and the overall experience. We will be happy to use her services again in the future!

Typically, couples book me about 2-3 months before their elopement date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

You will receive some previews within 24-48 hours, then the full gallery will be online in 2 weeks!

Definitely, I do not give out unedited, unpolished, or unfinished work. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge of $15 per frame.

You can expect about 60-85 images per hour of photography, 75-90 with an additional photographer.

In my 20 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never had to back out as main shooter. I maintain a network of trusted fellow photographers whom I can contact if the worst should happen.

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. I can provide referrals for trusted videographers whom I have worked with on previous events.
