Without a doubt amazing...

I don't know what we love more- Nancy or the photos from our special day. I've always felt self-conscious/looked awkward in pics, but I literally can't stop looking at our photos! Nancy was so sweet and professional, and her work is phenomenal!!! She absolutely nailed the nouvelle vague cinematic aesthetic we were going for and captured so many special moments beautifully- even tiny details looked glamorous. I cannot recommend her enough and am looking forward to her capturing our future milestones. I almost hesitate to recommend her because I want to keep her talent all to myself, but she is seriously the sweetest person ever!

Don't even second guess

After speaking with 8 photographers being frustrated and then finally from the moment I spoke with Nancy on the phone and just seeing her work. I had no doubt in my mind how beautiful our wedding photos would turn out to be. That has now become an understatement she captured the absolutely most magical magazine worthy photos. My husband is not photogenic at all and a little shy, Bethany her second Photographer made him feel so comfortable from getting ready to the photos afterwards; Nancy and her are a dream team. Ofcourse Weddings don't go off with some hiccups with family or vendors; it happens prepare yourself.. but with a photographer like Nancy you barely notice. Her loving friendly cool collective attitude and rockstar second photographer will make your day a fairytale. I could go on about how professional and a joy to have her on my big day was. But the facts are her pricing is wonderful, for her work she should be charging 3 times as much. Her style tells you a story of your day, we all go back and forth wanting a videographer and those are bloody expensive with Nancy you won't even feel the need to have one. We barely even noticed she was going around taking photos we didn't have a camera in our face saying look here do this. She let us do our own thing which made the day even more special, we didn't feel like a puppet which I'm in the Beauty industry the amount of brides telling me how they felt like the photographer put them on a wind up string is vast. Look at the end of the day you want something to remember you don't wanna feel like a stressed out bride or groom not only did I feel I had the most incredible photographer I felt like I had a friend at the end of the day. No questions asked Nancy and and Bethany are the #1 choice just the joy love and passion they have for what they do what's better than that; I'll tell you it shows in their work!! We can't thank them enough they truly were a puzzle piece that made our day INCREDIBLE.

Surpassed Our Idea

Nancy and Bethany were a complete and total JOY to have working with both, our engagement shoot and wedding day photos. From the very first phone call with Nancy, we knew she had something special. Her favorite shots, how she shot, and the joy she got from shooting, we knew she would be perfect. Her and Bethany never stopped shooting on our wedding day. We had one sneak peek photo the next day, we were NOT disappointed. Just the one photo was absolutely perfect! We can't wait to see the rest!!

Nancy is the most amazing photographer I have ever, and will ever have the pleasure to work with. She did both my engagement and wedding photos, and she really understands how to make things absolutely beautiful. She provides great direction, gets excited which makes you excited, and makes ever picture magical. Plus, her prices are unbelievable! She should be charging way more for the amazing quality of her work. I can't wait to receive my photos, and I cant wait to work with her again for all future occasions.

We recently had Nancy and her assistant Bethann as the photographers for our wedding and were incredibly happy with their work. They were able to capture so many intimate moments without feeling intrusive. They were both super friendly and professional. Overall, we are so thankful for their work, and would absolutely recommend their services for anyone. They really paid attention to our preferences and the shot list that we had shared. The photos made us look incredible while still keeping us looking like ourselves. We felt that Nancy was able to focus in on photographing emotion and love that was very present in our wedding via her pictures. Nancy and Bethann are very talented and we appreciate their services very much.

We booked Nancy for our wedding last month and she was absolutely fantastic! I was very apprehensive when looking for a photographer because I have heard horror stories from other people but I could not be happier. From our initial call to our planning call before the wedding, she was a true professional, making sure she understood my vision and offering tips to make sure we got some great shots. My family and bridal party also had nothing but rave reviews about working with her. If she's available for your date, book her now!

Simply said, Nancy is fantastic. She did such a wonderful job with our wedding photography- she captured our day perfectly and looking through our photos brings my husband and I so much happiness. Nancy was great to work with throughout the entire process. We did engagements pictures with her and she instantly put me and my husband at ease. She allowed us to be ourselves, and was great at offering tips and suggestions on what might yield the best photos without posing us. She was friendly, encouraging and very creative! The day of the wedding, she and her team showed up early and stayed late. They were incredibly gracious throughout the entire event, taking care to get all the pictures we wanted and some we didn’t we even know we wanted until we got them back, for example, the pictures of every couple at every table. She was a total professional yet my husband and I never had the feeling that we were “just another client”- she was always excited, always giving us her best, always genuine. We looked at several photographers before deciding to go with Nancy and we found her pricing and packages were very reasonably priced, especially for the quality of photographs and service we received. We are so happy that we had Nancy shoot our wedding and can’t recommend her enough.

Nancy and co. exceeded our expectations and was everything we wanted and more out of our photographer for our wedding. First off, she is the nicest woman I've ever worked with. She's unbelievably sweet and kind. Also, Nancy is super professional and responsive in regards to your every need. She works with you to build a personalized perfect vision just for you and your wedding. She is so talented and has some amazing ideas. Overall, we couldn't be any happier to have chosen Nancy and her team to be our photographer. You cant go wrong with Nancy and I promise you wont be let down if you decide to use her services.

Nancy (and her assistant Bethany) was truly wonderful to work with. We loved her style from the get go. We talked on the phone prior to booking with her and she provided ample examples of her work, even some from our venue. She is very soft spoken and incredibly easy to talk to/work with. In action she was particularly discreet and checked in regularly to make sure she got all the shots we wanted. She was very flexible on our wedding day with portraits and made sure to be early so she didn't miss anything. She deserves every one of the stars she has in reviews!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
