Best Wedding Photographer
We couldn’t be happier with Kurt as our wedding photographer! From the very first conversation, he was professional, organized, and so easy to work with. On our wedding day, he made us feel completely comfortable and captured every special moment beautifully—both the big emotions and the small details. Our photos are timeless, natural, and better than we ever imagined. We will treasure them forever and highly recommend him to any couple looking for someone truly talented and reliable.

Kurt Captures Special Wedding Abroad!
Kurt Nielsen Photography, Inc. beautifully captured our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Kurt and his team were consummate professionals. He has such a vision of how to capture the most amazing photos while also mindfully incorporating all of our hopes and desires into his work. Kurt and his whole team are friendly, considerate, intentional, and accommodating folks who are very easy to work with. Kurt was our only outside vendor at our resort and he jumped right into the wedding planning process and helped make the whole experience smooth. The resort noted how easy it was to work with Kurt!!!!
We wholeheartedly trusted him and his team behind the camera and they did not disappoint! They genuinely care about the people they work with and they put so much heart and hard work into photographing each and every clients special day! He has such a way with people, especially kiddos, and can make anyone smile/laugh within seconds!
We will forever cherish the memories that Kurt captured!

Amazing Photobooth!
We had the photobooth at our wedding, our guests loved it! We got to pick our own backgrounds and we even got a scrapbook of all of the pictures taken with notes from the guests. We got the scrapbook at the end of the night! It’s the best photobooth I’ve seen, you get a 4x6 picture printed out right after you have your picture taken! They even provide cute and funny signs as well as props like boas and big sunglasses, it’s really fun! I highly recommend Kurt’s photobooth! He’s also an amazing photographer! He made sure my dress was fluffed perfectly. He even notices the smallest details like the clasp of my necklace. Definitely a great photographer!

The Best in Town!
Kurt is the best! I am so glad we choose him to photograph our wedding. He doesn’t miss a thing, and he is super easy to work with. He does a great job wrangling the wedding party for pictures, and makes the whole process easy. Our pictures came out beautifully, and there were so many to choose from for prints. I can’t imagine working with anyone else!

Excellent and Thorough
We are so glad that we went with Kurt for our wedding. He did a marvelous job. I already knew him from doing such a great job with my senior pictures (and baby pictures) and felt very comfortable working him throughout the entire process. The engagement photos which were included in the package we purchased were a nice way to become familiar working together and we loved how they turned out. On the wedding day itself, Kurt is with you for every step of the way trying to get great, unique shots that you will love. He even found a security person at the zoo and asked them if we could use the carousel. Our guests all loved the green screen and that they got printed copies of the photos. You get to pick 6-7 backgrounds and there are lots of props available. Kurt's staff also makes a really neat scrape book with the pictures for your guests in the photo book that they sign. We LOVED how the photos turned out and would highly recommend Kurt for wedding and other professional photography needs!

The BEST photographer ever!
There’s a reason Kurt Nielsen photography wins awards year after year and it’s because Kurt is the best!! We purchased the Complete Wedding Package which included the engagement photo session, up to 12 hours of wedding day shooting and the photo booth with a scrapbook for everyone to sign and put pictures in. Kurt was really great at managing our big bridal party of 20 people including us, he kept us focused to get great photos even after being on a party bus which isn’t an easy task! He was so good with kids and getting our ring bearers to laugh or smile for pictures. He captured every moment and what I love so much is that when he gives you your pictures, he gives you every single shot he took! You can tell that Kurt knows what he is doing and has been doing this for a long time. I highly recommend him and the complete package as well. Our guests loved the photo booth and props! The cool part is it will print off a photo for every person in the picture and an extra one for them to put in your scrapbook you get to take home that night after your wedding day. We got to pick different backgrounds for the guests to choose from for the green screen. The sky is the limit when it comes to different backgrounds to choose from! The turn around time of getting our wedding photos was fast. He even included all the digital pictures from the photo booth too. I highly recommend him to trust for your wedding photos!!! :)

Kurt was absolutely amazing!
Kurt was absolutely wonderful to work with! He did both our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out better than we could have hoped for! Kurt had so many awesome ideas for our wedding party photos which I had been worried about because we had a very large wedding party. He kept our entire group focused and on time for the reception and we had a blast! We even worked in an extra stop for photos last minute! We also used Kurt’s photo booth at our reception and our guests had a blast with it. For months after our reception our guests would rave about how fun it was an how great their photos turned out! We had so many photos of our reception, it was as if we didn’t miss a minute of it! Every single guest was pictured. We couldn’t have asked for better! I can’t say enough about how awesome Kurt was! By far the best Toledo has to offer!

More than we could imagine
We used Kurt for our photography and we also used the photobooth. Every moment of the day was captured, from the salon until the last song of the night. The photobooth was a huge hit and we loved looking back at everyone using it the whole night. Our pictures were perfect and Kurt kept all the stress away every step of the way!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
