Hertfordshire and Essex Wedding Photography - Natalie Marcelle Photography

Hi, I’m Nat

A wife to Matt and proud mummy to my two wonderful kids, Ada and Tommy, my amazing team and biggest cheerleaders! (And before you ask, no — they’re not named after the Peaky Blinders characters, although we do love that show! Their names are actually family ones — a happy coincidence.)

Photography has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I was the one with a camera in hand, always eager to capture the special moments shared with family and friends. I’ve never been able to let the happy times pass without documenting them — those fleeting smiles, tiny details, and bursts of laughter that tell the story of our lives.

Following that passion led me to Central Saint Martins in London, where I earned my Fine Art degree specialising in photography. Since then, I’ve spent over a decade capturing love in all its forms — from weddings full of joy and connection, to families growing together, to the tender first days of new parents welcoming their little ones.

Being able to stop time for just a moment and preserve that happiness is such a gift, and I’m endlessly grateful to do this for so many wonderful people. Whether it’s your wedding day, a family milestone, or your baby’s first cuddle, I pour my heart into creating natural, heartfelt images you’ll treasure forever.

So that’s a little about me, Nat — and I can’t wait to meet you soon and capture some beautiful memories together!

My photography Style

My style is all about being relaxed and natural. I believe the best moments happen when you’re simply being yourselves — laughing, connecting, and enjoying the moment. With just a few gentle prompts here and there, I’m here to capture your story as it unfolds, in a way that feels authentic and effortless.

Whether it’s your wedding day, a family adventure, or those precious first days as new parents, I’ll be there as a friendly observer — blending into the background while you soak it all in. My goal is to document the genuine emotions, tiny details, and real connections that make your story beautifully yours.

Relaxed and Reportage

I specialise in a relaxed, reportage style of photography — all about storytelling and genuine emotion. From the quiet, intimate moments to the joyful, laughter-filled ones, I’m there to capture it all.

Whether it’s the excitement of your wedding day, the warmth of family life, or the tenderness of those early days with your little one, I focus on documenting the real connections that make your story unique.

I love the candid smiles, spontaneous laughter, and heartfelt interactions that unfold naturally — no forced poses, no pressure, just you being you. My goal is to create a visual narrative that reflects the true essence of your love, your relationships, and the spirit of your life together.

Fun & Authentic

My approach is all about keeping things fun, relaxed, and authentic. Whether it’s your wedding day, a family session, or those early days with your little one, my goal is to tell your story in the most genuine way possible — capturing the laughter, love, and in-between moments that make it truly yours.

I want you to fully immerse yourself in the experience, knowing that every precious detail is being beautifully documented. I strive to be invisible yet present, ensuring that you, your family, and your guests feel completely at ease — free to simply enjoy every moment as it naturally unfolds. My sessions are calm and easy-going, allowing children to play, couples to connect, and new parents to slow down and soak in the joy of it all. The result? Real moments, genuine emotions, and timeless memories that feel just like you.

Capturing Your Love Story

Every story is unique, and I’m here to capture yours. Whether it’s the excitement and joy of your wedding day, the heartfelt vows, or the laughter, cuddles, and playful moments of family life, I’ll be there to preserve it all.

My photographs are more than just images — they’re a timeless record of love, connection, and joy, capturing the unforgettable moments in your life, whether it’s the start of a new chapter as a couple, the growth of your family, or the tender first days with your little one.
