Welcome to my blog! My name is Natalie Franke and I'm a wedding photojournalist and portrait photographer in the Philadelphia, Baltimore, & DC metro areas!

I specialize in capturing candid moments as they unfold and finding real emotion in each image that I produce.

I love my job & feel so blessed for all of the incredible friendships that I have gained through photography. I'm happy that you've come across my little piece of the universe! Take off your coat & stay a while!

Sarah & Steven's Engagement Session

Sarah & Steven are a fun & absolutely wonderful couple! After a long day of Trash the Dress sessions, they met me at Chesapeake Beach for their engagement shoot. It's easy to see why Steven absolutely adores Sarah - her laugh could light up a room and she is absolutely beautiful! Steven also has a fun sense of humor & informed me that he (& his groomsmen) are going to be rocking Chuck Taylors at the wedding! Love it!






The gorgeous ring!

Sarah & Steven - I had an amazing time at your engagement session & can't wait to photograph your beautiful wedding in October! I'm looking forward to all of the details - from the Chucks to your flowers - and every moment in between! Thank you for keeping me so enthusiastic after a long day in the sun! :)

All the best,
Natalie Franke

Natalie, Thank you so much for these wonderful pictures. It was a great chance to get accustomed to having pics taken and getting to see what we really look like! :)

We're looking forward to you capturing our big day in Sept.
