Best Wedding Photographer!

I followed Nicole’s Instagram before I was even engaged. Every picture evoked an emotion in me like I knew these couples and they were all so beautiful. I knew that I needed her as my wedding photographer. After I got engaged, I saw she posted that she only had certain dates available for the month I wanted to get married, so I reached out to the venue to make sure they had that date available and booked her immediately! From the very beginning, she treats your wedding like it’s the only one she’s doing, and believe me she is booked and busy. You feel like you are a priority, she’s genuinely excited for you and your day, and then on top of that she’s a magician behind the camera. Her communication is top notch as well.

Her vibe is exactly how I wanted our wedding portrayed. Romantic, natural, with some direction and not over powered with staged photos. Also her turn around time is impressive with previews and full galleries. Also get the Fuji film! You won’t regret it.

I felt so lucky to be able to have her photograph this important day, and she captured everything perfectly. She also took amazing pictures of our dog, who was a part of our wedding, and we will cherish them forever. I really hope I can work with her again in the future.

We couldn’t be more grateful!

We can’t say enough good things about Nicole. From the start, she was transparent, easygoing, and communicative. She was happy to answer any questions and work with us to tweak our timeline to match our wedding day plans. We knew she was talented, but we are in absolute AWE of our photos. They capture the exact feel of our day, and really match the venue and vibe of our wedding. We told her that what was really important to us was capturing not only us and our special moments, but also the moments of our guests, and she totally nailed that. We had 170 guests at our wedding, so we went with the second photographer which we would absolutely recommend in order to get a full view of the day. We also recommend the film add-on…the photos are SO dreamy.

Nicole is the best!

Nicole was the first vendor I reached out to after getting a date from the ceremony venue and I am so glad I did! She was out of our initial price range, but her talent is undeniable so I was really set on booking her. We have had friends admit to skimping on the photo budget and hugely regretting it, so I am so glad we decided to book Nicole!

Nicole was an absolute dream to work with and incredibly professional. After she gave us a sample timeline, we really did not need to do much for photos. My husband and I have both stood in several weddings and Nicole has honestly been the best photographer. I know everyone probably says that about their own wedding, but we have been in weddings with photographers giving copious directions/discussion, making inappropriate jokes, screaming, or forcing endless, overly-engineered poses. None of that with Nicole, she is truly the best of the best! Everyone was absolutely blown away by how STUNNING her final photos were!

If you like her style, absolutely book her (early)! It is incredibly impressive that she stands behind all of her work and posts every wedding she shoots on her social media/website. After following her work for YEARS now and having her at our own wedding, I can assure you that the breathtaking photos you see are the ones you get. Thank you, Nicole, for shooting our wedding (and engagement photos)!!

Dreamy and romantic

Nicole is absolutely amazing to work with and nothing compares to the way she captures love!! From the planning stages to day-of and follow up after, we truly could not have asked for a more personable and professional photographer for the most memorable day. I’ve followed Nicole online for years and couldn’t have trusted anyone else. She made us feel so comfortable and captured our day so beautifully! Somehow Nicole got photos of literally everything, and all the images are so romantic and dreamy. Quick communication for any questions along the way, and super speedy delivery of the stunning gallery. Without a doubt, we recommend Nicole Nero forever and ever!!!

Incredibly talented photographer... Professional, Responsive, and fun to work with!

Nicole is a professional and an artist. We chose our wedding date based on her availability and we are incredibly thankful we did! She made us feel comfortable the entire time and took the most beautiful shots of us, our friends, our family, and the decor. Her artistic use of the fuji film was incredible and was a huge selling point for us. We absolutely loved the classical and artistic feel, and her style made our wedding photos feel so unique and personal. Her experience and comfort level was evident throughout the entire process, we were happy to have her there. She provided a very calming presence throughout the wedding day. We would give our highest recommendation for Nicole to anyone planning a wedding, you will not be disappointed!

You'd be nuts to not pick Nicole as your wedding photographer!! NICOLE IS THE BEST!

WOW!! Nicole Nero is an ARTIST! Her photos are absolute magic! I'm not just saying this because it was my wedding and my people, but truly the photos capture every pivotal moment and truly the story/meaning behind them. We were so blown away by every step of the process with Nicole. From the planning process, to her seamless execution on the day of, to the most stunning photos I've ever seen. Her communication surpasses every expectation and she's truly one of the best vendors we worked with. She was there for any question that we had, any concern, etc and always was the most patient. I will look and cherish these photos forever, and thank Nicole for taking such good care of us! We love Nicole and I hope that if you're reading this, you ABSOLUTELY PICK NICOLE.

Nicole is a dream...START TO FINISH!!

If you were looking for a sign to book your wedding photography with Nicole Nero, look no further- this is it!!

Nicole was the first vendor we booked after our wedding venue, and from the moment we booked her (a year and a half in advance of our wedding) until post-wedding, she was nothing short of exceptional. Not only did she capture the most beautiful and genuine moments of our day, but she did it in a way that felt so effortless and natural. The photos are TRULY beyond what we could have ever imagined, and every time we look at them, we're reminded of all the joy and love we felt. That's ALL thanks to Nicole's incredible talent.

But it wasn't just about the photos (though they are amazing)—it was about the experience of working with her. Nicole was always super communicative and made sure to respond ASAP to any questions we had sent her over email, which made wedding planning that much easier. We knew we could rely on her to guide us or provide good advice. And on the day of the wedding, she was such a calming presence, it felt like we had a friend there with us, not just a photographer. It was clear she wasn’t just there to do a job—she genuinely wanted to make our day special. Her kindness and positive energy were infectious, and it made all the difference.

We feel so lucky to have had Nicole be a part of our wedding, and we can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will not only deliver beautiful photos but also bring a little extra joy to your day, she’s the one.

Nicole Captured Our Special Day PERFECTLY

Look no further! Nicole Nero was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. She captured our special day perfectly and was resilient throughout the rain! She ensured we got every photo we wanted and was also a pleasure to spend so much time with on such an important day. We will forever be grateful to (and for) Nicole!

Nicole is the best! Look no further!

Having Nicole as my wedding photographer was a no brainer. Her work speaks for itself. It’s moody, expressive, and timeless. She doesn’t just capture your wedding, but more so, her photography tells your love story. She has such a good eye for not only the usual wedding shots but also the more artistic ones that I was looking for. She was a dream to work with from the very first time I reached out. From our engagement shoot, to the wedding, and to the very end with receiving all of our edited wedding photos. She was communicative, answering all of my many questions with ease, and even helped me figure out what other vendors I wanted to use that she worked well with. She didn’t go more than 24 hours without emailing me back EVER. It was so amazing as a nervous bride to have a vendor who was truly there to help. She brought a mellow, calming energy to my wedding day that was so very appreciated. On the actual wedding day she was like a well oiled machine. She arrived on time and got right to work. After the wedding she got my photos back to me quickly and all were edited and looking gorgeous. A nice touch is that while you are waiting for your photos to be ready, she writes a blog post with a bunch of them so you and your family can get a sneak peak! She truly brought my vision to life and documented every detail that we spent so much time and effort on. I would 10/10 recommend Nicole for any of your photography needs. She is the absolute best and I will cherish her photos of my big day for the rest of my life. YOU ROCK, NICOLE! Thank you thank you thank you! ❤️

Magical photos!

Nicole is the most amazing photographer - we saw her work and hired her to capture our engagement and wedding photos. Right away we knew we could trust her, not only to capture those true moments in her unique, artistic way, but also to clearly communicate with us throughout the process. When I look at the photos she captured for us, I really feel those special memories. Thank you Nicole for capturing them for us forever!
