Amazing Film Photographer!

My husband and I booked with Nicole back in February of 2020. Nicole is not only a photographer but also the owner of a stunning wedding venue, The Ivy Rose Barn, in the heart of Rocky Mount VA. She was so attentive to details with not only her photography but the venue as well (as seen in pictures). Her husband David was also kind and accommodating when showing the venue and assisting with day of coordination/photography. While Covid threw in a few curve balls, both for us and for the venue, our special day in May 2022 was well worth it. Our guests could not stop raving gorgeous every inch of the venue was and how beautiful her film photography is.

The perfect partner

Nicole was the perfect partner to capture our wedding celebrations! From our intimate family-only civil ceremony in the Outer Banks, to our larger, family and friends celebration in England, Nicole made us feel right at ease and blended with our family and friends right away - even joining us for some of the games and fun! During the ceremony and speeches, Nicole and David were practically 'invisible'; we were so surprised when we got the final photos as they had captured so many special candid moments when we weren't even aware! We are absolutely thrilled with the final photos...there so many we will treasure the rest of our lives.
The format in which they were delivered to us also has made it really easy to view and to share with our family and friends. We loved the fact that Nicole shot on film (as well as digital); these have made for some special photos we wanted to print and hang.

We cannot thank you both for everything you did to so beautifully capture the story of our international nuptials!

Best Photographer Hands Down

Where to start!?! I hired Nicole over a year ago and had plans to get Married In April, due to the Covid-19 virus my 250 guest wedding had to be postponed to a later date in the year! We were so thankful that Nicole was available, so accommodating and was so helpful during this crazy time in our lives. We had a private ceremony with just our parents and we wanted Nicole to capture this ceremony, parent shots and a few photos of us as Husband & Wife-Nicole REFUSED payment for our private ceremony! REFUSED! She wouldn’t even accept a tip!
We are beyond grateful for Nicole’s generosity and her talents! She just delivered us our photos and they are so beautiful! She really made our little ceremony look like a grand affair! We love our photos and can’t wait to for our big wedding in the fall! We highly recommended Nicole! She is truly talented and the sweetest!

Nicole is a blast! She's upbeat and looking for that just right photo. I've had the pleasure of supplying bouquets for several of her stylized shoots and we've combined forces on a wedding or two. I love her work, her work ethic, and her talent. Highly recommended!
