Simply THE best!

My experience with Fancy This photography was absolutely incredible! Courtney and Nikki were phenomenal to work with throughout our entire wedding journey from engagement photos to our wedding day and beyond. The pictures Courtney and Amanda took on our wedding day truly captured the joy we felt and will help us remember such an amazing day. Our family and friends were raving how awesome their team was and how comfortable they made them feel while taking photos. 10/10 would recommend.

Aaaamaaazzzzzinngggggg!!!!!!!

If I can give more stars I would, cause 5 stars is not enough to describe Nikki & Courtney. My husband and I had the privilege to work with both photographers for our engagement session. The quality, coordination, communication of their work is beyond extraordinary. As someone that struggles with anxiety, that all went away when I met Courtney and that’s exactly what we needed on our big day. She was very personable and let me tell you we had a really good time. You need a hype person, Courtney is your girl! You need someone to drop it low with on the dance floor? Courtney is THAT GIRL! I really appreciate the patience, time and flexibility that she took to capture a beautiful moment not with just us but with each family member and friends. Our friends and families LOOVVVVVED her. We thank the bottoms of our hearts for the whole team at Fancy This Photography.

Fancy This is the BEST!

Sarah and Nikki at Fancy This are the best photographers you can find! I cannot recommend them enough. Sarah was the lead photographer at our wedding and also did our engagement photoshoot! My husband and I loved working with Sarah - she had wonderful ideas on poses and picture locations and truly captured us being ourselves (I did not feel like I was in a bunch of forced photos - they were so natural!) Sarah and Nikki were both involved in our wedding ceremony/reception and they did a fantastic job. They were so open to all of our crazy requests and did everything to capture the wedding perfectly. They also are familiar with a bunch of venues and other vendors in the wedding space, which makes coordination so much more straightforward! If you're looking for the best photographs to capture your wedding, work with Fancy This.

Stunning photos and so much fun to work with!

Nikki and Sarah absolutely exceeded our expectations. They were both a joy to work with, super responsive and helpful. Nikki also made herself available to meet us before our wedding so we could get to know each other a bit more, which was a lovely special touch. During the wedding day, Nikki was so incredibly on top of everything, directing us and picking out the perfect shot. And the photos!! We've only seen the sneak pics (sent less than 24 hrs after our day) and they are absolutely stunning. Highly recommend working with Fancy This!

Fancy This Photography is the BEST!!

Sarah, Eden, and Nikki were absolutely wonderful. Fancy This Photography photographed our Engagement Session, Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Party, Ceremony, and Reception - and from the moment we met them, they made us feel comfortable, excited, and heard.

With a large wedding party, plus a large extended family, one thing I appreciated outside of their AMAZING photos was how they kept us on track from a timing perspective and help corral the crowd.

It's also not often that the groom and groomsmen enjoy taking photos, but my husband and his groomsmen loved how Eden let their "creativity' soar (AKA less serious photos in the midst of the more traditional wedding photos). They all made the day so much more fun.

We could not speak more positively about Nikki, Sarah, Eden, and the entire team, and would recommend them to anyone getting married. We sincerely hope we get the opportunity to work with them again.

Wonderful Experience

Nikki was an absolute dream to work with for our engagement photos! She made us feel SO comfortable during the session and wonderfully captured the happiness we felt to be newly engaged. Everyone that has seen the photos has literally dropped their jaw by how beautiful they are. I would highly recommended Nikki for all photography needs.

Absolutely the Best!!

Nikki & Samantha were amazing and so talented capturing our wedding day and now I love looking back at images reliving every little moment with such overwhelming joy :) They were both extremely easy to work with and made the experience so much fun while being organized to not miss out on any must have images. Taking pictures was a breeze since they helped to pose us and have the perfect background and angle to capture every detail! Very timely to send sneak peaks within a week after the wedding and the full gallery 7 weeks after the wedding even including a couple photo edits. They also went out of their way of to keep in touch before the wedding sending sweet small gifts and followed up after the wedding with a custom wooden picture box including a handful of print outs and a custom USB with all of our images making them so much more than another vendor but just great people who love what they do and do it well. Their images speak for their amazing talent and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to capture any life moment!

unparalleled experience with an exceptional photographer!

I don't even know where to begin. Nikki has been such an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. Both my husband and I are pretty awkward in front of the camera, and are not the "photoshoot" type, but let me tell you, Nikki makes you feel instantly comfortable. The galleries she produced both for our engagement shoot and our wedding day were STUNNING. It made me relive the day and remember the moments that would have otherwise blurred with time...I catch myself finding new favorites every time I look through the albums. It is really the gift that keeps on giving. While working with Nikki is an unparalleled experience in "normal" times, working with her in a pandemic, after postponing our original wedding date was next-level amazing. Nikki was an absolute pro at art directing while social distancing and communicating best practices via charade-like tactics, making everyone feel safe and like family at the same time. She totally created masterpieces and made it look like it was all us (but really it was all her!!). I cannot speak highly enough of her work, her aura and her professionalism.

COVID Elopement that Nikki pulled off.

Where would we be without Nikki??? The first week that COVID hit my sweet friend had to postpone their wedding celebration but asked me to officiate. I wanted to make sure this sweet day was captured for them. Nikki was so professional and kind. We were using the flowers that had already been purchased and her background in floral design was clutch. The photos turned out great, I found a new friend, and most importantly my friends got married. Sometimes the ceremony is a big affair or sometimes it's 4 people. Nikki did a phenomenal job to capture it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
