Talented, Relatable, and Wonderfully Kind

There are so many wonderful things I want to say about Nicki! She is extremely talented and kind. When my husband and I had to reschedule our wedding dates, Nicki was very understanding and worked with us. There a few vendors we had to drop but we were determined to keep Nicki because she and her husband make a fantastic team. I think what makes her standout the most is her ability to relate and is genuinely kind. Our photos came out amazing and I can’t believe we get to have something to memorialize a fantastic day. We’re hoping to have Nicki for other services in the near future because she’s just that good.

Nikki is the best!

Nikki was everything. I am soooo grateful to have found her. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the photos she takes are stunning. They are so bright and beautiful. She did a phenomenal job of making sure we got every single individual and group pic on our photo list (and then some!). I swear she was in multiple places at once throughout our wedding, she was right in the action making sure every single part of the day was documented. She sent a handful of sneak peek photos the day after the wedding, and I am SO excited to see the rest. Nikki is the best, she is so kind and upbeat and just radiates great energy. She also helped give me a ton of tips for day of that I never would have thought of, and made sure I was eating and hydrating enough throughout the day, because it is definitely something you forget to do! I can't recommend working with you enough!!

Best Decision Ever

Nicki truly cares about the couples she works with and goes above and beyond (and then some) on wedding day. We hired her for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day and she truly became a friend of ours in just those few days together because of how she helped with even the little things to make our day become magical. She took the most stunning rainy day photos and made us fall in love with the rain! I could not recommend her enough, if you work with her there is no way you’d regret it!
