I am a creative artist. But there's so much more to me than just taking pretty pictures. I'm a Christian, a husband, a brother, a son. I'm passionate about technology and sports, and the psychology of people. These personal posts give you a little glimpse into a different side of me, covering pretty much everything non-work related. I love connecting with people, and I'm so looking forward to connecting with you online and in person. Enjoy!
I was a math major in college.

Generally to get published in a magazine or on a wedding blog (ie. The Knot, Chicago Bride, Style Me Pretty), the process goes like this: Take amazing images, submit it to the editors, wait on their approval, get published.
As I rely primarily on word of mouth referrals and don’t do much destination work, I always put submitting my work lower on the scale as while it helps bring credibility and recognition, I wasn’t seeking to derive much work from that so it wasn’t a priority. (Although I still would love to be published, I just need to get my act together and start submitting my work :)).
You could probably understand my surprise, then, when I was contacted by The International Indian to do a story for their magazine about me. The magazine is based out of the Gulf and covers all topics relating to Indian heritage and culture, in Asia and abroad. But the staff editor had found my work online and wanted to do a story about me! And this wasn’t some measly mention on the back corner, this is a full two-page spread! I’ve officially made it. ;)

[You can view the online magazine here, and my spread is pages 78-79.]
Seriously though, It’s an honor for me to be published anywhere (I get excited when people mention me on twitter and facebook ;)), and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to do what I love as well as have all of you who love what I do. Thanks all and Happy July!
Merry Christmas and I’m Out!

I just wanted to take this time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I’m really excited about what 2010 has to offer and I hope you guys are looking forward to it as well.
I also wanted to get the formal word out that Nate Mathai Photography will be closing it’s proverbial doors until January 4th (well…techincally the 2nd) for the holidays. My upcoming schedule heading into the new year will be:
Dec. 24-25: Family Celebrations
Dec. 26-29: Winter Regional Conference in Hillsdale, Michigan
Dec. 31-Jan. 1: New Year’s Festivities
Jan. 2: Wedding in Indiana
So I technically start shooting again on January 2nd, but will be officially back in office starting the 4th to respond to e-mails and such.
Happy holidays everyone, and stay safe!
