We knew we were in incredible hands the moment we wrapped our engagement session. That day told us everything: our wedding photos were going to be special. And somehow, Michele still exceeded every expectation.

On the wedding day she showed up with a second photographer, and the two of them arrived absolutely radiating energy and enthusiasm — genuinely excited to be there and determined to capture our day in a way that felt like us. That energy never dipped for a second. Michele matched our vibe all day long, stayed in constant communication, and made the whole experience feel joyful instead of stressful.

The family photos could have been the chaotic part of the day. Instead they were seamless. Michele asked us well in advance exactly which family combinations we wanted and who everyone was — and then she showed up knowing every face and every grouping by heart. She guided us through the entire thing like the pro she is, kept everyone moving, and was endlessly accommodating. Every single shot we hoped for, we got. No stress, no missed moments, nothing forgotten.

And then there were the sunset photos. While our guests enjoyed dinner, Michele stole us away down to the beach for golden-hour portraits — just the two of us — and those turned out to be our absolute favorite images of the entire wedding weekend. They're the ones we'll be framing, the ones we'll show our grandkids. She didn't just take pictures; she captured exactly how it felt to marry each other.

If you're even considering Michele for your wedding, stop considering and book her. She's talented, organized, warm, and genuinely one of the best parts of our whole celebration. We cannot recommend Nikkels Photography highly enough.

Michele and her team are fantastic! She made our day feel seamless and easy. She is extremely detailed oriented, communicative, efficient, and can make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was one of the best choices we made for our wedding, and we are so thrilled with how the images turned out. Could not recommend her enough!

We couldn’t recommend Michele or Nikkels Photography enough! She has photographed not only my surprise proposal, a mini family shoot when we welcomed a new puppy, and now our WEDDING! We even have another shoot planned as we are expecting. We are SO excited to have sweet moments with our little guy captured as we embark on this next journey. Thank you, Michele, for all that you do!

We cannot recommend Michelle at Nikkels Photography enough! She was so fun to work with, and even days and weeks after our wedding, guests are still coming up to us telling us how amazing she was. Her energy, professionalism, and presence were felt by everyone!

Michelle is incredibly organized and detail-oriented, and she kept us on track all night with the photo schedule we carefully planned together beforehand. Because of that, we were able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding, knowing everything was handled seamlessly. She also shared so many helpful resources leading up to the wedding and took the time to really learn our story and our dynamics as a couple, which made the experience feel so personal and thoughtful.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, fun, professional, and genuinely invested in your experience, Michelle is absolutely the one. We are beyond grateful we chose Nikkels Photography and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! We are looking forward to booking her for family photos and professional shoots in the future!

We were lucky to already know Michele from Nikkels Photography before our wedding, and choosing her was one of the best decisions we made. She’s incredibly personable, professional, and instantly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera (which was huge for us).

We started with an engagement shoot, which made the wedding day feel so natural and easy. Michele is extremely organized, keeps things moving smoothly, and coordinates seamlessly with planners to make sure every important moment is captured without feeling rushed.

We loved her editing style — the photos feel timeless, natural, and full of vibrant color. And as a bonus, we got sneak peek photos the night of our wedding and our full gallery way earlier than expected!

We couldn’t recommend Michele and Nikkels Photography more. If you want beautiful photos and a photographer who truly gets it, she’s the one.

I had the pleasure of working with Brandi from Nikkels Photography at Leslie and Trevor’s wedding on October 11th, and she was absolutely fantastic! Brandi was professional, easy to work with, and captured all the special moments beautifully. Her calm, friendly energy made the day flow smoothly for everyone involved. I look forward to working with Nikkels Photography again soon!

Nikkels editing magic is great too, so imagine how Nikkels Photography will capture your event perfectly! For instance, my cell-phone pic captured Brandi in-action, then check out Nikkels finished product of that shot... stunning!

Hiring Brandi and Michele was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they also made the entire experience easy and joyful.

They flawlessly captured the entire day, from the quiet moments getting ready to the energy of the reception, without ever feeling intrusive.

Their skill with lighting is phenomenal, giving every picture a beautiful, timeless quality. They captured the golden hour perfectly, delivering images that we will treasure forever.

If you are looking for photographers who are professional, make you feel comfortable, and produce stunning, comprehensive coverage of your day, look no further. We highly recommend them!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Michele and her team. From the start, Michele truly listened to our wants and needs, creating a personalized package that was worth every penny and more. Her photos are absolutely stunning, but what truly sets her apart is how she goes above and beyond to make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She captures the most incredible moments and makes sure every little detail is just right. Everyone who has seen our photos can't stop raving about how amazing they turned out. If you're thinking about hiring her for your wedding—do it! You will be so glad you did!

Michele was an amazing, amazing photographer for our wedding!!! I’m so glad we went with her, she felt like a second planner for me and always answered any questions I had, even if they didn’t pertain to photography. Michele’s presence was that of a friend throughout the process, she is so organized and her emails always kept us on track. We did her basic package but it still felt like she went all out for us, and I recommend just going for it with Michele because she made the day-of so easy and stress free!! After our wedding we felt like we should’ve just splurged on her other packages because she was just that awesome! She’s fast and efficient but still very kind! I feel nervous in front of a camera but Michele knows how to make you laugh, pose and feel confident! Absolutely adore her editing style and the candids she was able to capture. She was the best!! All my guests can’t stop talking about the photos. Love her!!

I had Michele photograph my wedding in May 2025, and it was truly the best decision I made out of all the many choices you have to make as a bride. From the moment I booked her, she was communicative, professional, kind, uplifting, and so on top of everything. As a small business owner myself, I genuinely look up to the way she runs her business!

On the day of our fully outdoor wedding, it was 99 degrees, and Michele handled it flawlessly. She was prepared, efficient, and managed to capture every special moment while being so thoughtful about keeping me and the groom out of the sun as much as possible.

When we received our photos, we were blown away—they are absolutely beautiful.
I can’t recommend her enough! If you’re considering booking Michele, do it. You won’t regret it.
