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.
On wedding days, Nate is the lead photographer and Kristen is the second photographer. Our chemistry translates in the flow of capturing the day in an organic and efficient manner. Nate is excellent at getting the key epic shots that are sure to go on the wall. Kristen specializes in all of the details and candids of the day. Between the two of us, your day will be more than just documented, it will be the lifetime memory that you can relive over and over.
