Celebrate Love Intimately with
Natalie Faiivae Photography
Welcome to Natalie Faiivae Photography, your micro-wedding and elopment photography expert based in sunny Chula Vista, CA. I specialize in capturing the beauty, love, and unique stories of couples who choose to celebrate in intimate settings. I believe there’s something extraordinary about sharing your wedding day with just your closest family and friends. With fewer than 50 guests, every glance, touch, and detail becomes magnified, and it’s my passion to make sure those moments shine forever.
Micro-Weddings, Macro Memories
Micro-weddings are about curating a day that focuses on what matters most to you and your partner. Whether it’s an intimate backyard setup brimming with string lights or a hidden beach ceremony at sunset, these special occasions offer a level of personalization and closeness that larger gatherings simply can’t match.
This is where I come in. With years of experience documenting small, heartfelt weddings, my goal is to create timeless photographs that reflect every smile and teardrop. From the delicate lace of your dress to the joy-filled laughter of your guests, I capture it all. My relaxed, authentic approach ensures you can enjoy your day wholeheartedly while I document it in a way that feels effortless and true to who you are as a couple.
Why Choose Intimate Wedding Photography for Your Small Wedding or Elopement?
Intimate weddings and elopements have a charm all their own. With fewer guests, you can connect on a deeper level with everyone present. These beautiful shared moments deserve a photographer who knows how to craft a visual story that feels both candid and intentional.
I pride myself on getting to know each couple personally, learning about your love story and vision for your day. From our first consultation to the moment I deliver your gallery, my focus is on telling your story through stunning, meaningful images. You won’t just see what your wedding day looked like; you’ll feel every moment when you revisit your photographs years later.
About My Photography
Specializing in editorial, emotional, and documentary photography, my work embraces a moody aesthetic, offering a unique contrast to the conventional bright and airy styles. I am committed to thinking outside the box to capture genuine, unposed moments that tell a story, reflecting the true essence of my subjects.
My dedication to detail shines through in every shot, as I proudly uphold the traditional craft of photography by personally culling and editing each image without the use of AI. This hands-on approach ensures that every photo resonates with the raw emotion and story of the moment.
At Natalie Faiivae Photography, there is no limit to the number of photos you will receive, allowing you to relive the full spectrum of your experience. Each photoshoot is a journey, typically lasting 2-3 hours, where I meticulously plan diverse locations to weave together a compelling visual narrative. Discover the art of storytelling through my lens, and let me capture the authentic moments that make your story unique.
Galleries available upon request.
