Natalia Fontes | Senior Lead Photographer
Hi, my name is Natalia Fontes. I was born in Brazil and am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I hold a degree in Marketing and an MBA in Business Negotiation. After becoming a mother, I discovered a passion for photography, particularly in capturing portraits. My photography journey began in Brazil, and shortly after, my husband’s job transferred us to the US. This move brought many challenges, including learning a new language. I dedicated myself to studying photography and lighting, a pursuit I deeply enjoy. We lived in Pittsburgh, PA, for nearly two years before relocating to Odessa, FL.
Today, I am the mother of three beautiful girls, a dog, a cat, and have been happily married for 18 years. My photography interests are diverse, encompassing business photography, maternity, boudoir, family, children, parties, and shows. However, weddings hold a special place in my heart. Having been married for 18 years, I cherish the celebration of love and commitment that weddings represent. Capturing these joyous moments allows me to relive the beauty of my own wedding day and share in the happiness of each couple I photograph. I am passionate about creating lasting memories through my lens and am excited to bring my expertise to every project.
“Our experience with Limelight was amazing. Photos of our wedding were the priority as those are displayed forever. Natalia was our head photographer and she was so fun, personable, and full of artistic ideas. We wanted a unique engagement shoot and she delivered. The wedding photos came out even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I will recommend Limelight and Natalia to everyone!” -Lee Anne + Ernest Marte
“We had a wonderful experience with limelight. They were very easy to work with and very prompt with replies from initial consult to helping download the final photos and every question in between. We had the best experience with Natalia. She went with the flow and helped create the flow (a timeline). Our engagement photos and wedding photos came out amazing. The photos came back very quickly too. We added video at the last minute and they were very flexible with the change. I’m so glad we chose limelight and would recommend to anyone. We hope we can get more photos with limelight in the future.” -Rachel + Cris Coveleski
“Natalia did an amazing job at our wedding. Especially loved all the beach sunset pictures she crafted for us. Thank you so much!” -Nicole + Charlie Choi
