Marcy said you had left a message on her phone! We have missed you. I almost stopped by your studio the other day, but didn’t want to interrupt. Hope you weren’t too exhausted from the wedding weekend in Linville! I CANNOT tell you how much we loved being with you and how much we have sung your praises!!! You ears should have been burning. My niece is getting married in March and I told her that she should contact you. You may hear from her..Adele Moore.

Natalie, thank you so much for making such a huge effort in always being with us during the whole weekend. I can’t wait to see the photos. I know they will be wonderful, as are you!

Our photographers from Aesthetic Images were amazing! They were very professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. We and our guests have been impressed with the quality of the pictures and the thoughtful organization of our proofs that really tells the story of our special day. Aesthetic Images did a truly exceptional job. Jessica and Dan

Mike is absolutely amazing to work with! He has an incredible energy and a true eye for beautiful images! From the consultations to the actual event (and everything between) he was willing to answer questions, spend time with us, share ideas, listen to our ideas, and much more. I would highly recommend him and he will definitely be my top pick for any moment I want to capture in the future. He is very personable and a very talented gentleman. We will forever for thankful for all of his hard work to capture our event and make our memories last. Gunter-Terrell Wedding

Aesthetic Images was the perfect photography company. We did not have a videographer at our wedding – we simply wanted beautiful pictures and that is exactly what we got. We do not regret not having a videographer – Aesthetic Images gave us exactly what we were looking for and then some. The pictures they took are more beautiful and professional than we ever imagined. We highly (and without reservations) recommend Aesthetic Images to anyone that wants breath-taking photographs. Lisa & Dan

Natalie,It was magical watching the slideshow, I relived the wedding day all over again.  You are amazing, I will always use you from here on out for my photography needs.  Thank you, thank you for everything.

Natalie, these pictures are TERRIFIC and I’m sure the mothers and debs will agree! Not only are you a wonderful photographer, you’re a DELIGHT to work with, flexible and accomodating. The deb club is in great hands with you and your crew, and I look forward to working with you over the next 2 years. Kathryn Long

Natalie (and Mike) were professional yet personable–made us and everyone feel special. Well-equipped to photograph in our hard-to-shoot location (long sanctuary, low lighting). Attentive to personal requests / needs. Highest quality I found while not the highest prices! Both families and the wedding party members also enjoyed the photographers as well. Overall a highly enjoyable experience. Highest recommendations. Leigh and Kathy

Natalie took pictures of our grandchildren and they are so fabulous they make me cry. I could not recommend them more highly. They are worth every penny and I cannot wait to have them take more pictures. Berkeley Harris

Unbelievable!!!  I just love it.  Children helping children!  You represented the students and the spirit of their giving perfectly.  Thank you so very much for you time, your equipment and your commitment to producing a quality product!!!

Sincerely,

Earlene Thomas, Welfare Reform Liason Project, Inc.

YES! We would highly recommend Mike to anyone. He is very easy going and easy to work with. He always worked around our schedules and always executed in a timely manner. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day at our wedding. We look forward to working with him again in future. Thank you so much Mike for giving it that special touch. Michael and Amy Lane

Natalie,

I’m speechless, only because I’m crying.  The pictures are beautiful!

Thank you!

Hi Natalie
I just finished watching as I did not get a chance to look at the video when I was in NY.
I am wiping tears of joy from my eyes as I type.  The pictures are beautiful and the story even better!
Mark and I will review this weekend and I will be in touch Monday.
Thank you for the beautiful memories!

Dear Natalie,

This is Kate Harrell.  Just wanted to email you and thank you again for the fantastic photos and for being so lovely a person.  Our wedding was over 2 years ago and your pictures are even more gorgeous today than they were then.

I also wanted to email you to tell you that I will be seeing you soon as my best friend Jess I know has booked you for her wedding in May.  I told her if she wanted the best there was only one person to go to and that was you.

Thanks for everything again.  Cannot wait to see you!!

Kate Harrell

No one could have ever captured our most imporatant day like Asthetic Images did, and we will always be grateful for the exquisite photographs. Your talent and thoughtfulness are remarkable. Nathalie Hyde is a genius! Adelaide & Mark Spizer

What beautiful memories of the wedding we’ll have for a lifetime. Thank you for capturing those wonderful moments with your genius for all our family and friends to enjoy. Thanks, too, for being such an important part of our celebration.” Martha & Bill Halstead. 9-06

Thank you for photographing our family in Roaring Gap on such a busy weekend. The portraits take my breath away! They are all so wonderful and we love them. We are so proud of you, you are the best in every way. Lots of love, Kay and Dave Phillips, High Point

Like we tell everyone, Natalie was a God send!!! Our wedding angel! Not only was she amazing to work with wedding day, but her photos were truly spectacular! She’s was our photograhper and she’s now our dear friend! Somers Barbagallo

Cyana was invaluable on our wedding day! She was fun to work with and even drove us to the ceremony when the limo didn’t show up!! What a way to go the extra mile! The pictures are amazing and her rates are very reasonable for the superior quality of her work. Brides in the Triad would be foolish to use any other photographer!  Armstrong Bettini Wedding

No words can express how much we love the gorgeous photograph you did of our Katie.  Your wonderful photography is a gift that you share so willingly with us and the world. Thank you, Gen & Bill Fleishman

Congratulations! David Pierce has just recommended you to other brides based on the services you provided for the following event: “Allen-Pierce Wedding”. If your client had additional comments, they will appear below.

Aesthetic Images went above and beyond what we had hoped for. They took plenty of photos and captured every moment. It was perfect and we have tons of photos to relive the day anytime we want. The quality was good and the service was better! You can tell they truely aim to please and treat you fairly and honestly. I highly recommend Cyana and Aesthetic Images!!!

I just celebrated my one year wedding anniversary on April 2, and even though my husband was gone because he is in the military looking at my photo album full of Natalie’s pictures saved the day for me.  Working with Natalie was a pleasure and I still smile when I think about her.  Natalie is one of the kindest people I have ever met, period.  I feel like Natalie became and still is more of a friend then a photographer.  So one year later I just wanted to let her know that Robbie and I still think of her and still greatly appreciate her beautiful work and her beautiful heart.  Thank you Kate Harrell (Boylan-Harrell Wedding)

Natalie deserves the highest praises anyone can give.  Natalie is not only an amazing photographer, she is an even more amazing person! It makes my heart so glad to know that she is receiving the fruit she so much deserves from her work.

Sunita Enright

P.S. I got to share my culture to my students through her pictures and that was real special to me.  I never thought I could be able to explain it properly but the pictures speak for themselves…what a gift!

Thank you for the gorgeous wedding pictures. We will be calling on you again for pictures of the little one. Trish and Scott Nelson

Natalie, Your work is incredible. Great artistic impact and interpretation.

Natalie and Carrie were wonderful! I would call them again. Caty & Chris

With Natalie and Carrie, I knew I could relax and just enjoy my wedding. Church Fowler Wedding

Everyone who attended the wedding stated that the photographers were there, “but not really there.” They got all the best photos without being in the way, and when you needed them for a particular photo, there they were.  Shirling-Peralta

WOW! What else is there to say about this most amazing woman and photographer. Cyana is the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. The pictures are more like art and Cyana is more like a best friend. Your wedding is suppose to be a fun journey and with Aesthetic Images it couldn’t have been any better!  McCune-Nelson Commitment Ceremony

Cyana and her team were awesome! I was drawn to Aesthetic Images at a bridal show. The photographers are very passionate about their work, and it shows. Every one of my wedding pictures tell a story. I look forward to using Aesthetic Images for holiday, anniversary, and baby pictures. Ford Blair Wedding

I would highly recommend Aesthetic Images! 5-Star All The Way!! They are absolutely wonderful! Everyone is so kind and willing to help with anything! Cyana puts you at ease immediately and really makes it fun to have your picture taken. On the day of the event they are there for all the wonderful moments but they are not blatantly obvious or sticking cameras in your face. It felt like they were a part of the family. I cannot say enough about the Aesthetic Images staff. If you want great pictures with no worry then they are the people for you!!!!  Barrows-Wiggins Wedding

I would recommend Aesthetic Images to any bride because they were very personal with us and whatever we wanted they listened to our every want. They are very nice and were photographing just about every little moment on our special day. Garris-Tickle Wedding

Thanks for capturing a most magical day which could not have been done more professional, comfortable and wonderfully! Deschenes-Swann Wedding”

They were a joy to work with. Made a stressful day easy and enjoyable…… Tutt-Jeffers Wedding

Aesthetic Images Photography has been a joy to work with. They have made everything very easy for me. Kimmy Schram Bridal”

Our photographers were the definition of professional. Working with Aesthitic Images was very easy and fun. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a photographer for any event. Thanks Aesthetic Images! “Lima-Hill Wedding”

I would definatly recommend Aesthetic Images to anyone who is searching for a photographer. As the mother of the bride, finding the right photographer was one of the most important selections of the wedding. Not only did Aesthetic Images work with us to provide exactly what we were looking for, but they made even last minute, stressful situations seem fun. From the first meeting to the finished product, we could not have been more satisfied. Cyana and her staff are wonderful. There’s no need to look any further if you’re looking for the best photographer…for any occasion! Hinshaw-Osborne Wedding

Natalie is an incredible photographer! Our event wouldn’t have been the same without the memories she captured. We have wonderful photographs that we will always treasure. Don’t trust your memories with anyone less than the best!! I would highly recommend Natalie and Aesthetic Images!! Dan and Dana

I would definetly recommend aesthetic images to anyone who is searching for a great photographer. Not only are the prices well worth the services that they offer, but i could not have asked for a more friendly and professional staff. Best of all, the end product is something that will be cherished forever-they are absolutely wonderful and they should really consider themselves artists! Hinshaw-Osborne Wedding”.

Jim was great! He put us at ease and guided us through the entire process. His pictures look great and we continue to get compliments on the bridal portraits. He worked so seamlessly at the wedding I look at some of the photos and thought “I didn’t see him take that!” Tingler-Watts Wedding

I fully recommend Aesthetic Images to any bride. Cyana and her staff are warm and friendly and very capable. I had a big wedding recently with 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen. They did a fabulous job. They were not pushy in any way. They took tons of pictures and produced the best pictures of us and our family and friends that I have ever seen. Cyana loves what she does and it shows in her talent and in her warm manner. “Rightsell-Chiasson Wedding”

Cyana did an amazing job. Everyone at the wedding kept complimenting me on how great she was and what a good job she did. She definitly has passion for her art, and it is evident in her work. I love my pictures and will treasure them always as memories of one of the happiest days of my life. “Southern-Dunlap Wedding”

Aesthetic Images truly captured “the special moments” of my daughter, Kristen’s wedding. I recommend them highly to anyone who wants much more than the typically posed shots. “Daub-Apple Wedding”

Cyana and Mike were absolutely wonderful! From our engagement until our wedding they both were so amazing. ALL of our pictures our beautiful. They have given us perfect memories to last a lifetime!!! “Loggins-Angel Wedding

Hi Natalie!

I just want to thank you for doing such a great job photographing our wedding! I just can’t say enough about how great you all were and how effortless everything was.  I knew I could trust you.  I can’t tell you how many people came up to me and said how professional you all were and how you never were “in the way”.  I couldn’t have picked a better photographer who could have done such a great job at a very reasonable rate!  I feel like we not only have the fantastic pictures to cherish but have made a good friend as well.  Natalie you rock!!!

Thanks, Jennifer Spry Durham

Immediately we felt a connection.  We sensed her sensitivity and creativity right from the start.  Ms. Hyde was invited to travel with us to India and photograph the entire experience!  Natalie’s pictorial essay made the wedding experience amazing.From start to finish Natalie demonstrates an incredible sense of character, professionalism and creativity.

Her graciousness and enthusiasm became a role model for us all.  As a professional, Ms. Hyde’s skills far exceed her years of experience.  She was able to capture the essence of each event without becoming intrusive.  She was never an interruption or an annoyance. Natalie was part of our wedding party!

Natalie’s creativity is amazing.  Her use of black and white images as well as color helped to tell the story.  Her insight into the personalities of the bride and groom allowed her to portray their depth of personality and their genuine caring nature.  Each of her photographs told a story and the combination of her work created a novel.

The wedding and the reception were spectacular events.  Ms. Hyde’s photographs of each moment helps create a memory of these wonderful occasions.  Not only does her work capture the warmth and strength of the Indian culture and the happiness and love of the wedding couple, but it shows how two families met and created a relationship that will last forever!

My bridal portrait session with Natalie was fantastic. She made me feel comfortable, and I loved the shots she got. I would recommend her to any bride for portraits.  Emily Triplett

I wouldn’t have survived my wedding week without these people! Before, During AND After they are the BEST people I have worked with in their field!!! I feel like they are more my friends than hired help! At the engagement/wedding/reception people told me they barely noticed them at all the whole time, I even had some comment, “I didnt know you had photographers!” I have never seen such attention to detail or caring put into work as I saw with Natalie, Mike & Cyana! They did a wonderful job and if I ever need anything done in pictures again, I will drive to them-they ARE that good!  Bree and Beau

Very easy to work with on the Day. Hardly noticed they were there, very free flowing work. Apprieciated the manner and style of the photographers, they worked well with the style and flowof the couples families and the wedding event itself. I can’t wait to see the final result. Jenkins-High Wedding

Natalie Carter Hyde at Aesthetic Images was the best photographer! She was so easy to work with and all of our guests loved her. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Pate Fletcher  6/06
