Hello, I’m Natalija Brunovs.

Hi! Just call me Nat. I’ve been shooting weddings for over 10 years. I love it. I’m addicted. It isn’t about weddings (although pretty dresses and flowers are fun to capture). It’s about stories, family, finding beauty & holding on to memories.

How I Work

My style

I’d say its elevated natural magic? I want the photos to show emotion and beauty. I prioritise beautiful light, colour & texture to make art that is really about the people in it. I’ve been shooting for so long that its not so much a thought as just the way I see the world. My style shifts to the couple’s style as well.

My approach

Part goof, part serious. Like a duck who looks like its cruising but its peddling away like all heck under the water.

I have a very down-to-earth, light hearted approach on the day. I keep it fast moving and fun.

But I know what time it is.

My values

I will capture how it felt not just how it looked. So I try to help you feel the moment as well & ease all the weirdness of being photographed.

I live for authenticity and individuality and I search for that on the day. I’m seeing all the treasure in moments and people.

It’s not about me. I really reflect yourselves back to you.
I’m there to tell your story.

I observe

I have a sixth sense for the special moments which means I can see them coming! I use my ninja skills to grab all the moments you might have missed. Its so quick & you can barely believe I got all that gold.

I engage

I like a joke with people and enjoy getting up close with guests to get photos that are fun & alive. You can’t just be a fly on a wall, you need to get inside it to really capture personality.

My Now

I live and work in beautiful Fremantle in Perth, Western Australia. I’m pretty much “coffee, create, binge, sleep”.
I have two little angels filthy animals (Jack & Indigo) who see me baking, playing and LOVING even more. I’m an ideas person so always have some side hustle going on. Right now its Pattern Hunters. I’m a hippy type in many ways and my partner is an eco-scientist so together we live a very paired back, sustainable life and enjoying sitting in the hammock with a beer & walking in the bush.

My Background

I have a rich history in creativity that colours my vision for photographing. It might give you a sense of the depth with which I approach your day.

I have held 3 residencies as a photographer in regional WA. I had a graphic design studio for 10 years. I had a popular creative blog back when blogs were a thing. I was a media producer for ABC Open in QLD. I made a documentary in South Africa about dolls for orphaned children. I have done a lot of teaching. I ran an art space for a year. I have mentored other wedding photographers.

It’s cool how “all the things” I’ve done have enriched how I see the world.

Ultimately you just have to connect with the work on my website and trust that once you’re mine I will give you my all.

xo love nat
