You need to hire Nikki!

Nikki is the first vendor we booked! She was recommended by a friend who had the most beautiful, quintessential Boston photos and when I spoke with her on the phone she was so wonderful. The day of our engagement shoot, I had my hair and makeup trial. I was so upset with my hair and makeup that I called her crying because I was running late. Without hesitation she said "Don't worry about it! Let's reschedule to another weekend!" even though she was already downtown waiting for us. She wanted me to be comfortable with the way I looked before we started. A few months later COVID hit, we postponed our wedding, canceled it, then planned a small backyard wedding. Nikki was so accommodating, supportive, and flexible throughout the many months of changing plans.

The week before our wedding we had a call to discuss our timeline and Nikki allowed (suggested, actually) us to change our package time to account for the smaller guest list and the fact that we did not need as many hours of photography. We had our sneak peeks within 24 hours of the wedding (which is INSANELY fast) and our full album of photos just a week or so later. Our photos are SO unbelievably gorgeous and I still haven't been able to select the top 50 for our album. Nikki is an amazing photographer but also such a lovely person to work with. Her second photographer, Wayne, was also amazing and captured the best photos of my husband getting ready with his brothers. He had ideas of great photos for us, and they are some of my favorite! We are so thankful for both of them!!

Family celebration of a new beginning.

Nikki and her team were amazing. They did not get in the way and they partied right along with all the guests. The resulting photos are remarkable in their ability to actually capture not only the images but the spirit of our joyous celebration of the union of two wonderful people. We are sure that the images will be a vivid reminder for the rest of their lives of an amazing, heartfelt, joyful celebration of a new lifelong commitment to love, friendship and lives well lived!

Nikki and Rebecca were fantastic to work with

Nikki and Rebecca were amazing to work with throughout the wedding planning process. My family has used Nikki in the past for weddings and was disappointed when I learned Nikki was already booked for mine. I was in fantastic hands with Rebecca, Nikki's associate photographer. Nikki and Rebecca were both organized, responsive, and their work is incredible. We could not have been happier with our engagement or wedding photos. Thank you Nikki and Rebecca! We could not recommend you more!

Job well captured!

Nikki and her team did an incredible job! I work in the wedding industry and have seen so many different photographers and their styles but nothing compared to Nikki!
We had worked with her on our engagement photos and knew we had to book her for our wedding. She was filled with so many creative ideas to capture our best look and was honest with us when it wasn't the most flattering angle. She was also willing to go our in the cold to capture the perfect winter wedding. The team was able to make everyone in the party feel comfortable which made for great candid shots. The pictures came out amazing and we received them with in week (this is due to the fact that it was a Boston winter wedding). It has been so much fun to looking back at all the memories created!

Nikki is awesome!

We highly recommend Nikki! Not only is her work stunning but she did such an excellent job with the general coordination on the day of the wedding making sure we were set up and on time for our photos throughout all the other scheduled events going on during the wedding! We were so pleased with how everything turned out, her professionalism and just all around great attitude! SO IT'S TIME TO STOP READING MY REVIEW AND HIRE NIKKI! I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Nikki and her team were the BEST. We loved working with them during the planning process and on the day of. All of the ladies were obsessed with Nikki (we all wish we could pull off navy blue hair) and the gents were raving about hanging out with Wayne!! Our wedding was in the afternoon in October and it was in the city, so we were super excited to hear that Nikki particularly loves taking night shots and city shots. The photos came out beautifully - we are so pleased!!

Perhaps most importantly!! Nikki is exceptionally professional. Everything from her initial contract to the delivery of the USB with the photos on it to the online gallery was high tech, secure, and artfully crafted. I can't get over the customized USB drive. Every detail is perfect -- it made me comfortable that I was working with an experienced, professional, and well-oiled machine. I knew I would be getting my money's worth!

I have heard horror stories (multiple times) of couples who never got their wedding photos, but there is NOTHING to worry about with Nikki -- we got 4 preview pics on Monday after the wedding (the wedding was on Saturday! SO speedy!!) and we got the full online gallery only THREE WEEKS after the wedding!!!! Amazing. Most photographers we were considering told us they would "probably" get them to us in 6 week. Nikki's timing and her professionalism and work ethic were incredible.

We loved working with Nikki and her team, and would recommend Photography by Nikki Cole to everyone!!

I used Nikki for my engagement and wedding photography. Nikki honestly made herself an instant friend by taking away the stress of such important photos and focussing on the "fun" - colors, themes, people, places etc. etc.
Nikki was patient, warm, easily accessible, professional, honest**, reliable, and an outstanding artist!!
**YOU NEED AN HONEST PHOTOGRAPHER** Nikki told me when my hair looked funny, or if I had chocolate in my teeth.. or if some random relative was picking their nose in the background...no one else does that...
Nikki is also confident...and that was so reassuring!! The last thing you want is someone asking you where you think you should go, how you think you should pose etc. on your "photo shoot day" (for me my wedding day). Yes, you want someone to ask those ahead of time if you have preference which she did...but the day of you need someone who knows their art and can take charge and do it perfectly.
I will absolutely be using Nikki in the future...and not surprisingly she was recommended to me...and I have referred her MANY times!!
I cannot say enough about this fabulous woman/photographer!

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nikki! Our photos are beautiful and she perfectly captured our day (and managed to keep us all on schedule, an impressive feat for a wedding!) and our family and friends have all commented on how fabulous the pictures are as well as how much they liked Nikki. From the first phone call to our wedding day, it felt like we were talking to someone we had been friends with for a long time - she made us feel comfortable in front of a camera and we were thrilled to have her take our engagement and wedding photos. The blog post and slideshow she created after the wedding was such a thoughtful touch and we will always treasure our beautiful photos - thank you!!

We had Nikki photograph our wedding and she was beyond wonderful. From professional to kind and understanding, Nikki knew just what we needed to not only keep me calm on my big day but also very happy. We fell in love with all our photos from that day, Nikki is a true artist and class act. We will call her again for any future photo's we may need. #WeLoveNikki

Nikki was the epitome of professional from our first phone call through delivery of our photos. She kept us at ease on the day of our wedding and I loved how organized she was!! That took a lot of stress off my mind when it came to making sure we were getting the photos we needed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
