Meet the Person Behind the Lens
Hola/Ciao/Hello!
I'm Natalie Alvarado, a Southern California-based photographer with roots in Mexico and a passion for exploring the world. My journey into photography began in 2010 while living in New York City, and my love for capturing life’s special moments truly flourished when I worked as an assistant wedding planner in Italy in 2013. That experience sparked my transition into wedding and event photography, allowing me to blend my love for storytelling and celebration.
​
Being trilingual and bicultural, I have a deep appreciation for community, connection, and cultural diversity. I’m passionate about learning different traditions and customs, and I thrive on capturing those authentic moments that make each event truly unforgettable.
​
There’s something about the energy of a wedding or event day that excites me—those fleeting, joyful moments that I get to preserve forever.
