Nikki is the sweetest most helpful photographer. She is super talented and receptive. She made me feel comfortable and the photos are AMAZING.

Nikki you are amazing. You are so helpful and made Luke and I feel comfortable and confident. Luke is picky and I’m insecure about being in photos and you made us both so happy with the engagement and wedding shoot! Thank you for everything ❤️

Nikki was an amazing photographer and worked so well with me.

From beginning to end, the whole process of wedding pictures with Nikki was amazing. She was very helpful and quick to respond when I reached out to her. She was very honest about everything and told me what she thought was best and made me feel comfortable. I definitely recommend to book her for your event. On the day of, her and the 2nd photographer were so nice and very willing to help to make things go smooth. Book her for your special occasion, you will not regret it!

Love love loved

Nikki was amazing! She was on time, knew exactly what to get done and out of the way while my wedding party and I were still getting ready. She was fun and friendly and fit right in with our wedding group and made the whole experience a breeze, and fun. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. The photos we received were amazing and my husband and I have been getting ENDLESS compliments on how great they turned out. We are OVER the moon with the whole experience and the beautiful photos of our wedding. Thank you Nikki!

Best Wedding Photographer!

Nikki is AMAZING at what she does! My wedding photos came out even better than I could've imagined. Her wedding package included an engagement mini session that I really appreciated as it made things so easy for us. Through out the wedding planning process, Nikki checked in with me multiple times and was great at communicating with us. Nikki and her second shooter were the sweetest and captured our special day so perfectly! So if you're considering Nikki, my advice is to BOOK her! You will not regret it.❤️

Excellent Photos and Amazing Attitude

Nichole's portfolio was impressive and her price was great for all that she was offering. We got the package that included 8 hours and a second shooter for the day of our wedding and also included a complimentary quick engagement shoot. Communication with Nichole was very easy and she was responsive to both text and email. I didn't meet Nichole until the wedding day and she was just as excited to be there as I was. Her and the second shooter Stephanie were an absolute blast to work with. They were both true professionals and the 8 hour time limit was more than enough to capture all of the memories I wanted. We received our final photos in about 7 weeks and they were absolutely gorgeous. I will cherish them forever.

The Only Photographer We Will Ever Go To

Nikki (and her second shooter Stephanie) were amazing to work with. So professional and nice, my whole family adored them! They put us right at ease, even when nerves took over at times. Even when I was busy getting glammed, they came right in and took all the detail shots. We got married during the pandemic, and Nikki was so flexible with postponing and re-scheduling. She even did our timeline for us. Just above and beyond her duties! We love Nikki and we will only be going to her in the future. Our pictures turned out so beautiful and perfect, you would never know the world was falling apart around us!

Nikki from Darling Nikki Photography (well, along with her assistant as well!) was a videographer's dream to work with! Always checking with us to make sure she wasn't in our way, wasn't in our shots, and was giving us enough time with the bride and groom so we had plenty of creative time too. We had a blast shooting Nathan & Chelsey's wedding at Park Place Parties this past May and were thrilled to work with her. Beautiful photos, wonderful personality to work with on the day, and AWESOME follow-up on social media never forgetting to tag us in our work together. Darling Nikki Photography is definitely a sweet choice!
