Nate did an amazing job capturing the images we wanted. He was extremely professional and immediately put everybody at ease. He has an amazing eye and used the backgrounds to enhance the images, not distract from them. He also has a good understanding of lightning and took some incredible “golden hour” shots of our family. I would completely recommend him to anybody who wants professional yet natural looking family photos.

Firestorm Photography was, hands down, the best decision we made when we hired them for our wedding. They were there for us, every step of the way! The took over 1,000 photos and captured every moment of our special day. The tears, the laughs, and the memories, now captured forever thanks to this amazing business! Hands down, the best photographer that I have worked with. We love Firestorm Photography.

Firestorm Photography provided an excellent service.
We had our maternity photos done and it was fantastic, 100%.
He was prompt/on-time, communicative, directional without being bossy, open to ideas as well as providing some of his own, which I greatly appreciated.
It was professional as well as a good time, making the photo session more relaxed.
We received our edited photos very quickly and they were amazing!

Nate was a pleasure to work with! He was professional, had a plan, and moved through the shoot seamlessly. Not only is his work superb, but his personality made the entire process enjoyable. Our entire wedding party had a great time taking pictures with Nate, and they were everything we were hoping they would be.

Amazing wedding photos!!!!! From the very beginning of coordinating our shoot I knew he was gonna be great. He had a great knowledge of different locations in the area that afforded us what we were going for. He was super considerate of our timeline and was instructional and guiding during the shoot. Nate kept us updated afterwards with an accurate estimation of when he would be finished with editing them. He got the photos back to us within the a month after the wedding and they were absolutely amazing. Nate is a fantastic photographer and my wife and I couldn’t recommend him more strongly.

Nate has a great eye for photography. Nate was on time for our photo shoot and very professional. He was ready to go right away which was important to us since we were taking pictures with our young children. His prices were also more than fair. Thanks again Nate for the great pictures

Nate snapped a few photos while I was recording a band and they turned out great! He has a very creative eye and was very professional during the whole process. About a month later I asked if he had any scenic photos that I could use for my business. He was timely in getting back to me and had plenty of photos to choose from. We went back and forth looking for the right photos and when we found the photos I liked they were reasonably priced.
I highly recommend hiring Nate, you will be pleased with his work.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Nate of Firestorm Photography since about 2015. The creativity and span of his work is limitless; he captures dancers in motion, concerts, horses & riders, moody portraits, and weddings (and so much more) with precision and artistic depth. He has a keen eye for lighting, angles, and the interplay of body language with the natural environment. Whenever Nate is behind the lens, magic happens. Creativity flows. The subjects take on a new dimension.

Deep sensitivity towards his subjects is what I believe makes Nate’s work ultimately appear so effortless and natural. He is just as quick to listen and play with new ideas as he is to make a suggestion to improve the image (angle this way, move a hair to the left, chin down slightly). The images never end up looking over-edited or artificial. I would trust Nate with any photography job, period.

I’ve worked with Firestorm Photography three times in the last year. We had such a positive experience with him we hired him again and again! Our sessions have included our young children and horses – not always easy to work with, but Nate has been nothing but patient. His pictures are beautiful and he is especially good at capturing candid moments during the session. I plan to continue working with Nate as our children grow and new family photos are needed! I highly recommend Firestorm photography!

Nate did our wedding photography and he did a fantastic job! He went above and beyond to help with whatever he could and made everything run very smoothly. We have a large family and he handled that so well, even with lots of little kids. The pictures turned out amazing – I am in love with so many, it’s hard to pick my favorite!

Every time I shoot with Nate it is a fun, new, & uplifting experience! Not only is he a respectful, kind, & considerate person; he is also a driven artist with a vast array of creative ideas. We used him for a maternity/couples shoot & he did not disappoint! He captured the love that holds our family together beautifully. He does an amazing job of getting pictures that look candid & genuine, rather than overly posed. He gets your pictures to you in a timely manner without rushing the process, so you always end up with content of the highest quality. I have, & will continue, to refer any friends that are in need of a photographer, to Nate.

Nate from Firestorm Photography is an absolute joy to work with. He’s captured all of the stages of our family from dating through pregnancy (including a surprise engagement he and my husband planned together beautifully, as well as a few outdoor parties we’ve hosted, and all of the milestones in between). I have also been blessed with the opportunity to collaborate with him on some events and projects. He is very professional, yet super easy and fun to work with. His adventurous, extroverted nature always makes us feel comfortable and free to be ourselves in front of the camera with him. The instructions that he gives are clear and helpful, and he has an incredible eye for the little things that help make an image tell a story. He is also always open for our random ideas and thoughts. Every session we’ve received in a timely manner, and we are always even more impressed than the last time. He captures the essence of our personalities and relationship perfectly. I trust Nate fully with any photo and or video needs. He truly has a passion for this, and you can tell when working with him how much he enjoys and puts his all into what he does.

For years Nate has been my go-to person for action photography and videography. He has done countless adventures and projects with me—he rigged aerial silks from a crane, climbed up rock walls with his camera in the Red River Gorge, captured my circus arts performances, and filmed my TEDxTalk. Nate is creative, helpful, and trustworthy. He helps make my visions reality and it’s been a joy to create beautiful things with him.
