About

I'm Nicola - I'm a Nashville wedding photographer who focuses on intimate and artistic wedding photography.

I believe there is beauty in everything. I love exploring, traveling, and really good coffee. Faith is important to me. Traveling is my most favorite thing. Shooting outdoors is where I'm most inspired but I'm comfortable shooting inside, outside, on the beach, in a chapel or deep in the woods.

Stories have always fascinated me. Growing up, I devoured books - I would come home with bags and bags of library books that were finished in a matter of days. I went to school for a degree in photojournalism, and when I started photographing weddings, this storytelling aspect just followed me into my wedding work. This love for stories and sharing emotion has always leaked through into every part of my life -- and I'm thrilled that I get to photograph weddings for a living now.

I love that when I photograph a wedding, I get to step into your world for a day and see how you love, who you love, how much you love. I want to be a part of that, party of your story. No flight is too long, destination too far or too close to home.

If my work resonates with you, I'd love to talk more. Drop me a note at nicola@nicolaharger.com fill out the form on my contact page.

This could be the start of a beautiful thing - can't wait to hear from you/

My experience with Nicola as my wedding photographer was absolutely wonderful from the very beginning! She was always flexible with meeting times/locations and I absolutely adored her from the first time we met. She has an incredible personality, and you can tell from her photos and the way she talks about her work how much she truly loves what she does, and it definitely shows! She worked closely with us and our wedding planner to create our day-of timeline and everything went perfectly due to such detail in the timeline. During our wedding day, she was on top of everything and worked so efficiently. We specified we really wanted candids during our reception and pictures of us with our guests, and she was there every time we turned around snapping photos of us and everyone having a blast! I cannot wait to see our photos, and I know they will be amazing based on the few preview shots she's sent us so far! I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone and everyone, and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to work with her and for her to capture the magic of our special day!

Nicola is amazing to work with. She was so helpful from of our wedding planning process to the end. She is incredibly talented and her photos are absolutely stunning. If you want wedding photos like an artistic touch to them, she is your girl. Your wedding photos will like works of art not like everyone else's cheesy wedding photos. Plus she is as sweet as can be. :) She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.

Book her now! You won't regret it. :)

Nicola was amazing!! She has this amazing talent of capturing the feelings of each moment in her pictures. We were immediately drawn to her work and the feelings and emotions it evoked on us.

Nicola was super easy to work with, very flexible, has great communication and was able to capture so many fantastic moments of our big day. First we did our engagement session which was a great opportunity to get to know each other and how we work and move as a couple as well as how she shoots and captures the moment. We did a sunrise shoot on Broadway in downtown Nashville. We all had to get up very early and Nicola was more an accommodating about our vision. The photos turned out wonderful, we used one on the save the date, reception cards, and thank you cards!

The day of shots were fantastic. It seemed as if Nicola was everywhere at once that day, she was professional and obscure the entire time. She also did a fantastic job of wrangling in the groomsmen who were getting rowdy during the wedding party shots! I could not thank her enough for everything!

She is well worth the money! I'm so happy she was able to capture our story.

I made it a point to review my vendors because I relied so heavily on other people's reviews.

Nicola Harger is a bride's dream come true as a photographer. She is incredibly professional and knows how to maneuver your guests politely day of wedding. She is the most responsive vendor I had, I could count on her to respond to me within the hour and to follow up without being prompted. Every bride knows that having a vendor that checks up with YOU is a blessing. She is the sweetest lady and made my hubby and I feel like we were old friends. She guides you to take natural posed photos and becomes a fly on the wall during the reception, capturing those amazing candid moments. She got us a sneak peek photo the day after the wedding (which thrilled our guests of course). I was concerned with lighting since we had an evening wedding but Nicola put an ease to that concern with the sneak peek photos. Gorgeous job, Nicola. I'm so glad we found you.

Nicola is an incredible photographer and I am beyond thankful that I booked her for my wedding! My husband and I aren't the most "natural" behind the camera and she made us feel comfortable and at ease with her professionalism and guidance with posing. I've seen a few preview photos and I am dying to see more! Nicola is not like your typical wedding photographer. She has an incredible eye and beautiful, artistic style, not to mention she's super sweet! I would recommend her to everyone I know!

Nicola is an amazing photographer! We were lucky enough to have her capture our engagement and wedding, we could not be happier with the results.

Not only does Nicola take amazing photos but she is professional and prompt. She kept in contact with us throughout the entire process and was more than willing to help with anything possible. She also made us feel very comfortable while photographing us.

Thank you so much for the photos that we will treasure for a lifetime!

Nicola was such a joy to work with. From day one she was completely professional, accommodating, and so kind/pleasant to be around. We worked with her over the course of about a year, from initial meeting to our engagement photo session, and finally through our wedding day. Our engagement photos turned out just stunning...we can't wait to get our wedding photos in a couple weeks! It's obvious from her work that Nicola has a natural talent for telling a story through her photography, and I really feel that we were in the best of hands in capturing our wedding day. She was such a calming presence for me when our wedding day timing didn't go as planned. We ended up going longer than expected with hair and makeup, forcing us to forgo some bridesmaid photos before the ceremony. Nicola worked around this change to make sure she got the photos I wanted, while staying calm and positive. Our wedding party was large and a little chaotic to deal with, but she did a great job at getting all of the group shots we wanted, although it probably wasn't the easiest task! Overall, I highly recommend Nicola for any and all of your photography needs. Not only is she completely talented in what she does, she is such a sweet, pleasant person to work with. Thank you Nicola!!!

Nicola made our wedding day very smooth, stress-free, and most of all fun! She was punctual, professional, and showed us that she genuinely cared about our day! I would highly recommend her to any bride that is planning a wedding, I have been very pleased with our engagement pictures and can't wait for our wedding pictures! She really did capture the small details that we would not have been able to see/appreciated.

We could not have asked for a better experience with Nicola! She went above and beyond what we could've expected from a photographer - her communication was prompt and we felt at such ease with her creativity and eye for beauty. We weren't looking for stiff portraits but rather real moments of our day, which is exactly what she captured. We would recommend Nicola to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
