The Shalom Imaginative

The Shalom Imaginative is a wedding photography collective led by Nate and Amanda Howard, creating candid, documentary-style coverage that feels relaxed, emotive, and real. They work with photo and video, alongside 35mm film, digital, and Super 8, and they emphasize honoring every identity, body, culture, and tradition with an inclusive, nonforced approach. Based in Los Angeles, the team documents weddings with a focus on Southern California, while also taking on celebrations worldwide. Their work is rooted in real moments, guest interactions, and the natural unfolding of the day, with a look that aims to feel timeless, modern, and honest.
