About
Asheville - based photographer Nathan Rivers Chesky takes us all over the world. His images run a full spectrum from serious to playful, classic to experimental, and documentary to editorial. Fresh and modern, his style and vision of Western North Carolina breathes new life into how we see that part of the state and beyond. I enjoy shining a genuine light on the character and best attributes of my subjects. Witnessing and capturing the raw beauty of a moment or a person. I use the medium of photography and video to tell a story. I have worked in this medium for over a decade. I document an event in the best light and then curate the best parts to create a visual story that will remain timeless.

Nathan was incredible to work with. We could not have asked for a better photographer or person for our wedding. Upon meeting him, we knew immediately that we wanted to work with him. He was kind, understood our style, and really went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. He was very professional and has an impressive portfolio to match it. However, more importantly, he has a lot of love and joy in what he does and his photos reflect that. My husband and I had a lot of fun watching him geek out about the lighting and shots he was taking. It was a wonderful experience. We cannot say enough good things about working with Nathan, and would recommend him without reservations.

Details: Wedding • 26 - 50 people • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive • $$ (standard) • Bride or groom • $1,000 - $2,000

I recently got engaged in Asheville after planning my dream proposal to my long-time girlfriend. After searching the market for a photographer, I came across Nathan and I (and my fiance) could not be happier with the selection. First and foremost, I really appreciated the way Nathan over communicated with me throughout the process to ensure that I was relaxed and focused on the proposal (not stressed about the pictures). I reached out at all different hours of the day and Nathan was always quick to respond. We even exchanged messages on the day of the proposal so that I was 100% sure that he was in place and ready for the big moment. In terms of work quality, you couldn't ask for anybody better. Nathan does a great job of capturing both staged and candid shots to make sure your special moment is unforgettable. Finally, I just wanted to touch on how friendly Nathan was the day of the proposal. Nathan of course did a great job of capturing the moment, but then also guided us around the hotel (Grove Park Inn) and took us to some awesome spots for some additional photos. He was so gracious with his time and made sure he did everything in his power to make the moment extra special for us! I could not be more thankful to Nathan for helping to make our night so memorable. I would highly suggest him for any and every occasion!

Details: Traditional / classic style (looking directly at the camera) • Candid style (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • One location • 31 - 50 shots • Online or digital proofs and prints • Ability to purchase prints online • $$ (standard) • I travel to the engagement photographer

I have had the pleasure of working with Nathan twice over the last couple of years. My husband and I hired him for our wedding, which was unique in and of itself in that it included a brunch, welcome dinner, two culturally unique ceremonies, reception, and many many friends and family members. Nathan and his assistant managed to capture every face that attended the wedding. Many photos gave us a perfect little glimpse into the moments we missed while being swept up in the day. They were edited beautifully and it was clear there was effort and intention put into the photos from start to finish. The second time I worked with Nathan was for portraits of my 16ish year old dog. She is very timid in new places and has bad eyesight. More importantly, she hates cameras and flashes. From the moment she arrived to Nathan's studio, she was calm and comfortable. She immediately acted just like her sweet funny self and Nathan made her feel safe with the camera. He also took my concerns into consideration and set up the studio in a way that did not require him to use flashes in order to capture the light for the photos. This made it easy for my dog to be at ease. Nathan even edited out a bright ball that had to be in each shot to keep my dog focused! What a trooper. Our family looks forward to working with Nathan again in the future!

Nathan is my favorite photographer to work with! He is so passionate about his work and that really comes through before, during and after the photo session. His meticulous attention to detail combined with his expertise of many years of working with different styles of photography makes for a fun, creative and enjoyable experience that ALWAYS produces beautiful shots. From wedding photos to documentary work, Nathan really is a one-stop-shop for all styles of visual storytelling.
