Documentary wedding photographer

My name is Nathaniel Sottung, and I’m a Northern Virginia-based photographer passionate about capturing your most unforgettable moments.

Whether you’re planning your dream wedding, a family celebration, or an epic adventure, I’m here to tell your story. From hiking slippery waterfalls to exploring underwater worlds (yes, I’m scuba certified!), there’s no place I won’t go—or almost anything I won’t do—to capture the perfect shot.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
Take a look at my work or reach out to chat—I can’t wait to work with you!

He met with us over Zoom and in-person at the venue to walk through the day and provided countless suggestions and tips to make sure the photography and ceremony went smoothly."
