Amazing Wedding Photographer! 10000% Recommend

Nelson was a photographer for my sister's wedding back in 2014, and 10 years later we were lucky for him to be our photographer for our wedding day in September 2024. He has such a great vision for photography and captured the photos of our dreams. He made everyone feel so comfortable(including my husband who hates photos) and had fun while doing it. Nelson was responsive, organized, passionate, thorough and personable from the first line of communication until receiving our final gallery after the wedding day. We cannot wait to cherish our photos forever and will always be grateful we chose Nelson to capture the best day of our lives!

Absolutely amazing!

I don't even know where to begin with Nelson. He was so incredible to work with. His energy and creative eye are next level. He kept the day fun and running smoothly. We got married on a Sunday and the next day he had some sneak peek photos for us. Every single picture was beautiful and looked like it was out of a magazine. If you are looking for a photographer look no further and book with Nelson, you won't regret it!

10/10!!!! Best photographer ever!!!

Nelson is an amazing photographer!! We had him take our photos for our wedding day and they came out AMAZING!!!!! I literally cannot thank Nelson enough for all his hard work. He captured so many photos, took pics of the little details, I mean he was on top of his game on our wedding. Almost 3 months later and I can't stop looking at the photos. I highly recommend Nelson, he was also so good to work with! He's so passionate about his career, and we can't thank him enough for being part of our special day!!

Don’t hesitate to book!

Not only is he brilliant at his craft but he LOVES what he does and it shows in his work! He was a delight to work with from beginning to end. Nelson will guide you through the photography process. I am not great with posing but he really gave me direction with every photo and I appreciated that very much. He is professional, creative and so much more.
I would recommend him to anyone 1000x over.

Talented, Awesome, and a Visionary! Highly Recommended!

Working with Nelson was an absolute pleasure! When researching wedding photographers, it was important to me that the photos were artistic, but also captured the emotion of the day. Nelson truly exceeded my expectations. His portfolio speaks for itself, but my personal highlights of working with Nelson were the following:
-He kept us on schedule. With a large wedding party of around 25 people, I knew that would be a challenge. But with his vibrant personality, he was great at rallying the troops!
-He is creative and a visionary. I not only have photos of my special day, but I have unique shots that I will always look back and cherish.
-He works timely and has excellent customer service. He really goes far and beyond with providing updates and his enthusiasm shows through his communication.
-He was able to accommodate my special request to expedite finished photos of my grandmother who passed away the evening of my reception. This really spoke to the kind hearted person and professional that Nelson truly is. I am eternally grateful.
I highly recommend working with Nelson (and his team) for your wedding or for any of your photographic needs. He is fantastic - I can’t say it enough!

Amazing!! Great vision for awesome pictures!

Nelson and his team are amazing!! Super accommodating and understanding. Our wedding got postponed twice and Nelson worked his way around to make sure everything worked out as originally planned. He came highly recommended by a friend and when we saw his work we fell in love! Forever grateful for being able to work with him. Love his energy and his “Oh Yeahhh”. He got our entire bridal party to let lose and made sure we were having fun. Highly highly highly recommend!!

5 Star !! and FUN!

Working with Nelson was so much FUN! Not only is he brilliant at his craft but he LOVES what he does and it shows in his work! He was a delight to work with from beginning to end. He was our silver lining to our covid wedding. He was super accommodating when we had to reschedule our wedding back in January, he even went so far as to help us find new vendors that would accommodate our new day and that matched his talent! Nelson will guide you through the photography process if needed but will give you the freedom to lead/make decisions if you want too. Nelson is responsible, professional, creative, flexible, and of tremendous quality. So many of our guests are asking for his contact info because they loved his work. I would recommend him to anyone 1000x over. 5 star quality.

OHH YEAHH!!!

Oh yeaahhh!

First and foremost, ohhhh yeaahhh!

I really can't stress enough how creative and fun Nelson is when it comes to photography and capturing the essence of a couple and their special day. From the initial meeting to the end product, Nelson really focuses on creating an experience for the couple. He took the time to get to know us and a feel for us, was open to our ideas/concepts, and was just a pleasure to work with overall.

His photos really speak for itself.

We had our engagement shoot at one of our favorite bars, that also tied in with the 1920s art deco aesthetic we were going for. Those pictures? Fabulous.

Our wedding was a 1920s spooky speakeasy. Those photos? SICKENING.

I wasn't that type of bride who cried on her wedding day...and I legit started to cry during the personalized slideshow he held for us with our favorite snacks and beers.

If you don't hire Nelson for your special day, you're boring and basic.

As a creative, it was an absolute dream to be able to work with someone who just "gets it".

Thank you so much, Nelson!

Highly Recommend!

Nelson and Hamilton were a delight to work with. They were very accommodating and professional, and went above and beyond to make us feel special. He was timely with all of his delivery commitments and the pictures are just absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be more happy. We highly recommend them for your special day!
