Colorful, sexy, unique, and fun; all the words I’d use to describe this incredible styled shoot with Mia & Will! A huge thank you to all the vendors involved, this was such a fun one to plan and so different than a typical shoot. I can’t wait to share more!!

Hi friends!! It’s been awhile since I did a little intro and we have some new folks here so wanted to reintroduce myself 🩷

I’m Natalia (pronounced like Gnat - uh - Leah, weird I know). I’ve been living in Chicago for over 12 years, and working in the Chicago hospitality industry for almost 9! I grew up in rural IL, a super small town called Geneseo, and moved here for college (go Blue Demons💙) I’m the only child to two eldest siblings, adopted from the country Georgia when I was 3 months old. My grandma on my mom’s side was born and raised in Japan and came to the US after WWII, and my dad’s grandparents immigrating from Italy to IL, so lots of multi-cultural blending happening in our home!!

I started my career in hospitality as an event manager for hotels and have worked on over 200 weddings and 400+ corporate events throughout my career thus far. I absolutely love getting to spend wedding days with my couples seeing how much you all are loved and supported by your family and friends. I always want to make sure you get to soak in those moments together!!

When I’m not working I’m usually reading a silly romance novel, watching the latest Bravo show, playing with my kitties Henry and Percy, volunteering at DePaul University, playing Fortnite with my besties (so goofy but so much fun), throwing a themed party, or bopping around Chicago trying out all the new spots.

I can’t wait for warmer weather and for the 2026 season to be fully kicked off!! This is going to be an incredible year, and I can’t wait to celebrate with all of you! 💞

If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around! Happy Valentine’s Day!! 💞💘

Happy Thanksgiving from NCM Events Co to you and your family!! I love getting to be part of your special days, and am so grateful that you trust me and my team to ensure you and your loved ones have the best time celebrating!! 💕

And that’s a wrap on 2025!! ❤️ Reflecting on the year, and just feeling truly so grateful to get to partner with you all on your most special days! The past two years since I started NCM have been such a fun whirlwind and such exciting years. I’ve been working in weddings for over 8 years now, but the joy of getting to work for myself has been the absolute best.

Thank you to all my couples, past and present, for your great partnership and trust you put in me. It’s such a special relationship working with some of you for over a year to bring your vision to life and get to see all your friends and family celebrate your love with you. And of course, thank you to my incredible vendor patterns for the referrals and great working relationship. You all make it so much fun and so rewarding!!

Can’t wait to see how 2026 turns out, and hope everyone has the best Holiday season!! Ty for the incredible photos 💕
