Why learn from me?
Hi, I'm Natalie
I'm a worldwide award-winning Photographer, Educator and Mentor, based in Buckinghamshire near London and photographing wedding stories all over the UK as well as destination weddings abroad.
My background is in fashion, corporate and portrait photography with credits including Elle UK, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and I've photographed celebrities such as Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Kelly Holmes, Dita Von Teese and artist Antony Gormley (one of my favourites!).
After graduating with BA Honours from my University photography degree, I worked for over 2 years as Studio Manager at ASOS.com.
Self-employed doing photography for 14 years, I feel blessed to wake up every day doing something I love! To date I've photographed over 350+ weddings in locations including Paris, Hawaii, Iceland, NYC, Las Vegas, California, Santorini and Venice.
I've focused on building my photography business to a high level and am honoured to have won many awards for my photography including the prestigious international Rangefinder's Rising Stars of Wedding Photography, as well as being named one of the Best Wedding Photographers to book in 2023, by ELLE UK.
During a global pandemic I managed to buy 2 houses within a year (one by myself and one as a joint investment purchase). And I've made over £1.2million in sales since being self-employed - you're in good hands when it comes to knowing how to build a successful, profitable and fulfilling photography business!
I feel extremely thankful and proud to have built and achieved all this, alongside bringing my son Danny up by myself as a single mum!
But it wasn't always this way...
I'm not going to sugar-coat it, it's been a LOT of hard work to get where I am today.
I got pregnant with my son Danny when I was 17 and had him at 18. He's now 23... so it's been many years of juggling and struggling, blood, sweat, and tears (so many tears!) and figuring out the best way to do things through trial and error. Did I mention there were tears?!
It took me years to understand marketing - I would look around at everyone else doing well and wonder what they knew that I didn't! I thought buying a new lens would automatically get me bookings, and disappointed when the expensive online listing didn't get me a single enquiry. I felt upset, frustrated and worried, constantly. I didn't really know what I was doing and spent a lot of time trying to figure things out by myself.
Then I started learning about the BUSINESS and MARKETING side of running a photography business. And my goodness everything changed.
After now being self-employed for nearly 14 years, I've packed this Success Accelerator course full of knowledge for you; the things that DO work and the very best ways to market your photography business to get paying clients.
It took me years to build my photography business, but it can be quicker for you, with the help of this course. This is the course I WISH had been available earlier in my journey! I've crammed my 14 years worth of experience into this course - Learn from from someone who’s been there and done it!
Think of Success Accelerator as your streamlined, fast-track way to photography business greatness!
THE FASTEST WAY TO GET WHERE YOU WANT TO BE, IS TO LEARN FROM SOMEONE WHO IS DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
