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.

Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer!

Nicki is the kindest and most talented wedding photographer! I can’t say enough good things about Nicki! You need to hire her for your wedding! I just got married in February and Nicki gave me my photos even earlier than expected! Nicki was amazing to work with since the day I hired her as our wedding photographer. Nicki also shot a mini session for us the day before our wedding at our wedding welcome party (instead of an engagement shoot). That was so great to work with her and to get to know her before the wedding. She’s also the best hype woman who always has your back! She made us feel super comfortable with her and feel beautiful which is evident in the pictures. Nicki truly loves what she does and that’s what I wanted in my photographer. Her second shooter Seth was super sweet, helpful and talented as well. My whole family loved Nicki and Seth. I had done my research on wedding photographers and can say that you’re not going to find better than Nicki! Not only did we get the most beautiful photos, but we feel like we also made a friend.

Look no further!

So incredibly happy we chose Nicki as our wedding photographer! She not only took the most stunning, romantic, and whimsical photos, but she was truly like a fairy godmother on our wedding day, swooping in and offering a solution, a helping hand, comedic relief, or reassurance that everything was going to be okay at so many different moments. I was so impressed with Nicki’s ability to adapt to last minute changes, capture authentic emotion and beautiful details, and work with light in the most magical way. It was so helpful to have an engagement session with her too so that we could get comfortable with her and doing couples photos in general. Her warmth and sense of humor immediately put us at ease. If you want dreamy wedding photos and a truly lovely person to capture your day, look no further!!
