Crazy enough, your photographer is the person who you & your significant other will be with the most on your wedding day, so I wanted to share a little more about myself!

When I don't have a camera in my hand, you will probably find me at the beach, hiking the mountains, or at home with my fam. I'm married to my amazing wife Danielle and A father to two wonderful kids! We also have a 3 year old golden retriever named Belle. Me and my wife Danielle, have been together since 2009! Some call us high school sweethearts! We both enjoy photography and have always had a camera on standby for any occasion!
My vision is to create images that capture the essence of my couple: their love, laughter, joy, and style. My photography is inspired by natural and timeless imagery that reflect the true personalities and experiences of each couple’s wedding that can be enjoyed for years to come.
As such, we specialize in natural light photography. I view my photography as a celebration of life. I strive to shoot the feeling of each particular wedding day so that my photographs will still hold their power decades later.

Amazing Photographer!!!

I couldn’t imagine going forward with any other photographer! Nick did an outstanding job with everything from start to finish! He stayed in touch, very thorough from day one, gave us amazing photos, and he also gave us a sneak peek within a week! He also offered us videography, and even Drone Photography/Videography!! All with very reasonable prices!

I’m so thankful we chose Blessed Be Photography! I highly, highly recommend to other couples that are in the market for their photographer!!

The Best photographer by far… truly Blessed!

Blessed Be Photography is the Best by far!! Nick is friendly, easygoing and professional. His me responds quickly to all questions and his fees are very reasonable. Ladies, he captures your glow and makes you feel like you belong on the cover of a magazine!! You will be happy with the service and outcome of your pictures. We saw a few samples of our photos and my husband and I can’t stop talking about how beautiful we look and the quality of the photos. If you want beautiful wedding photos, then put Nick’s number on speed dial. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. We love our photos … Thank You Nick! 😀

Nick was fantastic! Showed up early for our engagement photos, even allowed us to choose a second location! The pictures were handsdown phenomenal! We couldn't have been more pleased, we look forward to working with him again. Seriously if you're looking for a professional, who is kind, goes out of his way to ensure you not only have fantastic pictures and enjoy the process call Blessed Be!

April 2025

1. Over an hour late to the wedding.
The bride had 0 pre wedding photos and the whole precession was waiting on him. When he arrived he didn’t tell anyone, the only way we knew was someone had to ask if he was here to us.
2. The contract stated 4-8pm.
He was late, he was gone before 7:15pm, and we consistently had to find him
3. He did not deliver on his contract deadlines. And he has a different contradictory reason each time you call. (28 days late now)
4. Told me he had them all done and was going to send them right away on the 25th day past deadline. On the 27th past deadline he told me he had none of them done and he couldn’t edit them without Wi-Fi, that he has no Wi-Fi , that he’s going to Starbucks and will send it to me.
5. This is all objective fact. I cannot in good faith recommend this service to anyone
I do not believe I’ll even get my photos.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
