hello

We are Nate and Kristen Duncan, the humans behind NJDuncan Photography.

our story

We met January 2020 right before the pandemic.. on Bumble of all places! On our very first date, Nate expressed that he dreamed of being able to photograph weddings with his wife one day. Fast forward to March 2023, we wed micro wedding style in Joshua Tree National Park. We absolutely love doing life together and even more so, getting to work together!

In our personal time, we enjoy long walks with our mini golden doodle Poppy, road trips, live music, hiking and camping!

We are true-to-color, documentary-focused photographers who love capturing every moment of your wedding day in a creative and authentic way. Although we are experts in posing when needed, we believe the best photos happen when our couples are fully in the moment. We prioritize helping couples spend more time enjoying their day, while still getting all the must-have photos. With us, your wedding gallery will have a great mix of beautiful portraits and plenty of candids to truly document your unique love story.
