About

I'm a boutique Chicago and destination wedding and elopement photographer for couples who value stylish simplicity and quiet elegance. Using a blend of film and digital photography, I create timeless images full of authentic, natural emotion (no cheesy, awkward poses here!). Beyond the photos, my goal is to provide each of my couples with a truly personalized and first class experience - to that end, I accept a very limited number of weddings per year. I'm here with you each step of the way, pampering you with teas and sweets, giving you allllll the tips and tricks to help you avoid the common wedding day mistakes, laughing and crying with you on the big day, and celebrating life with you long after!

Nicole took both our engagement and wedding photos

Nicole took our photos for both our engagement in Paris and our wedding in Chicago. After having a great experience working with her in Paris, we knew we wanted to go with her! The pictures in Paris came out looking much better than we thought they would and Nicole was able to capture beautifully. Not only did she wake up early for our sunrise session but she spent a good amount of time with us making sure she captured the right pictures.

I think we were more impressed with how organized and smooth Nicole made taking the wedding pictures. Nicole was able to time everything well and even did a great job making sure we were organized and that the actual wedding was running smooth. The pictures came out amazing. Nicole communicates very well and having done a few weddings, plus being married herself, was able to walk us through the steps and everything to keep an eye out for. It honestly wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that she was a big part in our wedding running as smoothly as it did.

Best wedding elopement photographer!

I am SO glad I found Nicole to be our wedding elopement photographer. As a COVID bride, all things wedding did not go according to plan this year. After a postponed and then canceled Spring wedding in Nashville... and a move back to Chicago over the summer, my fiancé and I decided to throw a last minute elopement in the early Fall with just a few family members and friends.

We pulled it off after about 2 weeks of planning and Nicole made this crazy day feel so special! Every photo she took just looks like us and our personalities. She captured both beautiful and funny moments. Nothing forced or staged. Just 100% real. She has a great eye and over delivered beyond our greatest expectations!

Plus she is so nice and easy to work with — when you talk to her it feels like chatting with an old friend. She made the whole experience fun (and not awkward which is always a worry)!

My husband and I get compliments on our photos every time someone sees them. And because it was so hard to choose which photos to print and frame for our home (we loved them all) I also made a wedding album book just so I could have physical copies of her amazing work.

If my husband and I ever get to throw a "real" wedding in Chicago, we will 100% hire Nicole again. Highly recommend!

Nicole is pure MAGIC!

We hired Nicole as our wedding photographer and it was one of the best decisions we ever made! Our experience with Nicole was amazing from the first time we met with her, all the way through our wedding! First, she is SO organized and SO informative. She takes the time to go over every detail and makes the process so easy! She also is one of the nicest people we have ever met and so patient during all the craziness of wedding planning. Lastly, she takes the most amazing pictures and was able to capture our wedding day flawlessly. Nicole will definitely be our go to photographer for life and we cannot wait to have her capture more of our special moments! If you want to work with an amazing photographer (and human) and have the best pictures to remember forever, hire Nicole!
