About

Hi Friend!

My name is Nicki and I am a "Hokie" at heart but a James Madison graduate. I majored in Art with a concentration in photography and wouldn't have it any other way. It wasn't until I met my husband that I started my photography business and I am beyond grateful for him suggesting it. I am a "people person" and love stories so the fact that I get to document your story from beginning to end is such a delight and beyond fun for me. Speaking of stories, no couples journey is the same, that's why I love what I do. Because I get a little glimpse into your life and it's like no other. I get to hear the past, engage in the presence, and watch the future unfold. With all that combined, I step into your wedding day with an idea of who you are to fuel your images I capture. My work has a documentary style that is bright, mimicks film, and captures the small details that make up the big picture. I do a lite edit on images so they are as close to your memory as possible. I believe in the "candid" moments, but don't get me wrong, I won't leave you high and dry either. I will help guide you into the best possible poses that flatter you and your sweetie but also step back to let the natural essense of who you are and let it all unfold. It would be an honor to document your journey to the alter and create lasting memories you can look back on when you are older.

Best Decision we made!

Nicki is wonderful! Not only is she talent and fun, she is passionate and warm and can make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera. She shot our rehearsal dinner and wedding and I can't get over how incredible the photos are. She was a saving grace during the planning period and on the day itself she made me and my husband feel so comfortable. Not only did she capture our wedding perfectly, she also somehow managed to navigate my big messy family and get them in line. It was truly remarkable. I cannot recommend Nicki enough! We are so thankful for her and her passion for capturing the most special day of a couple's life!

Amazing!

Nicki is a talented photographer. Not only is she a great photographer, but she is also a wonderful person to be with and have for your event. On our wedding day, Nicki was very punctual and her professionalism shined brightly throughout the entire day. Our pictures were of excellent quality and were beautiful. I will definitely recommend her to anyone I come into contact with. My wife and I were very pleased to have had the privilege to work with Nicki. She made our day very special and we love her :)

Loved loved loved!

As soon as we met Nicki we knew that she would be the perfect photographer to have on our wedding day!! We loved how comfortable she made us feel while we were taking pictures ! Not only was she SO patient (we had a very rowdy wedding party) she was calm, organized and made us all belly laugh at the perfect times! Our pictures have turned out amazing and she got them back to us SO fast! Seriously, she’s the best! Having her on our wedding day was the best decision we made !
