Nathan Bogardus
Owner / Primary Photographer
Nathan loves photographing people because of their infinite variability, their unique character and range of moods, and the ephemeral natrue of the way their present look.
"I love continuing to push my own limits, blending emerging aethetic styles with technical experience and the latest styles," he notes. "But the greatest part comes from being able to use the camera to connect to the soul of the moment: those fleeting glances, the joy and truth in the eyes of a couple deeply in love. Those images are timeless."

Nathan was absolutely amazing. His communication throughout the process for our engagement session and leading up to our wedding was great. He made us feel at ease and is very easy going, making our experience relaxed and enjoyable. The day of our wedding he was on top of everything and even helped my husband out on his boutonnière! His quality of pictures are immaculate and was given to us in a timely manner. We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We would highly recommend him to anyone!! Thank you again, Nathan!

I had the absolute best time working with Nathan and his team. From the moment we started working together I knew we were going to get along well. He is so enthusiastic and passionate about his work and when the wedding finally came, he put his whole heart into our photos. We had so much fun working with Nathan and the team, they captured amazing moments of getting ready, our first look, and our ceremony, and then spent the whole night getting all of the amazing shots on the dance floor. My whole family loved our photography team and we got so many compliments on our choice before anyone had even seen photos. When the photos finally came, I cried my heart out enjoying every moment of reliving our special day. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Nathan for your wedding day photographer, you will not regret it!

Kelsey,
You and Andrew were so kind and welcoming to Hamlin, Monica & I and we had a blast...
working with the two of you, your wonderful wedding party and your family and friends - it was the best possible experience I could hope for at a wedding and I'm so honored you chose us to photograph it for you!
It was clear to all of us how much you two mean to your friends because we saw so many special, thoughtful things that people had taken their time to prepare beforehand, like that amazing Dancing Queen flash mob!
Hearing that the photos made you cry makes is exactly what makes me so passionate and enthusiastic about capturing those unique, authentic moments, cause it all goes so fast when you're having that much fun and I hope the emotional intensity is there for years to come every time you look back at the images we created together!
Any questions?

This previous weekend I was the matron of honor at my best friends wedding in NY where Nathan and Hamlin from Bogardus were her photographers. I cannot say enough good things about this crew! Their professionalism was top tier, they were very upbeat and and comforting - which is very much appreciated as weddings can be stressful, they had amazing planning skills and were on top of everything. They offered guidance and support whenever neccesary, and knew how to anticipate the important moments to capture. My favorite part was that along with the formally posed pictures of family and friends, they also were able to capture such amazing “candid” photos which ended up being some of my favorites! They were very kind and truly went above and beyond. I live in Georgia, but if I lived or was getting married in NY I would DEFINITELY be booking Bogardus as my wedding photographer.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Nathan and Hamlin as our wedding photographers! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. The photos they captured are nothing short of STUNNING-each one perfectly reflects the joy and love we felt on our special day. What truly set them apart, though, was their incredible kindness. They were more than just photographers; they felt like part of our family, fully engaged and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for not just beautiful photos, but an unforgettable experience!

I feel extraordinarily grateful that I happened to meet Nathan at a local wedding expo. In our first conversation I could tell that he was incredibly down to Earth and just the type of person that I would want to have involved on our special day. He and his assistant (Hamlin) were incredible to work with on our wedding day. He took all of the standard photos that we wanted and amazing candids as well. He's great at making you feel relaxed and like your true self to let that shine through in photos and isn't afraid to try some out of the box ideas. If you're looking for a photographer for your special day, I HIGHLY recommend Nathan.

Nathan and his team did an incredible job with our wedding! The photos are truly stunning, we can't stop looking at them, he really captured the day.
On top of that, Nathan is a great guy - patient, kind, responsive, and attentive. He was a great communicator before the wedding, and as it it was happening. He made sure we were happy, and got all the shots we wanted. We highly recommend him!

Thank you, Rebecca! Your families were so kind and accommodating to our whole team - it wa...
s such a pleasure working with you all. Everyone was so cool and calm - even Avery's exploding suit coat button didn't ruffle anyone's feathers.
You and Brandon were so natural and relaxed in front of the camera that it made it easy to capture both the candid moments and beautiful portraits while we walked the property. What an amazing floral garden and tree decorated venue, too!
Please recommend us to any friends or family members who are getting married in the future - I'd love to see you all again soon!
