Natalia Leite | Associate Photographer

Hi, I’m Natalia! I grew up in Tampa/Clearwater my entire life. Photography has become such a meaningful creative outlet for me because I love being able to capture moments that people can look back on and remember exactly how they felt. There is something so special about being able to freeze a moment in time and turn it into a memory that can be kept for years.

What I love most about photography is that every wedding and every couple is different. I enjoy capturing both the big moments and the little ones that can easily go unnoticed—the emotions, the details, the laughter, and the candid moments that happen naturally throughout the day. As a second shooter, I love being able to support the lead photographer while also looking for different perspectives and moments that help tell the full story of the wedding day. I’m always paying attention to what is happening around me because sometimes the sweetest photographs come from moments that were never planned.

I also really enjoy the people side of photography. Weddings can be exciting and sometimes a little overwhelming, so I love bringing a positive attitude and being someone the couple and the team can rely on. I’m still growing and learning with every wedding I photograph, and one of my favorite parts of being on the Limelight team is getting to learn from other photographers and experience different wedding days.

Outside of photography, music is a huge part of my life. I love singing, and I’m currently learning piano and guitar, so I’m always finding some kind of creative outlet. My faith and my family are also very important to me and are a big part of what inspires me. I’m grateful to be surrounded by people and experiences that continue to challenge me, encourage me, and help me grow creatively.

I’m so thankful for the opportunity to be part of Limelight Photography and to continue growing as a photographer while helping couples preserve some of the most meaningful moments of their lives. I’m excited for all the weddings, people, and memories still to come!
