Look no further!!!!! If your looking for the ABSOLUTE BEST, this is your girl. From the very moment we met Nichole we knew she was the absolute right choice for us. Starting from even before the wedding she was so thorough with really trying to find out every detail about the us, our interests, and wishes. She knew us before we even met that day. The day if my wedding she was punctual (actually earlier that even I was), she had already scoped out the grounds to see where would make the best shots and back drops. She was SUPER attentive to all my needs while getting ready in the bridal suite. She was going around getting every last detail to allow for the perfect shots. She thought of shots that I couldn’t have even imagined. The attention to detail that she used on every aspect of our wedding/ceremony blew us away. The creative side that she was able to see things I the reason we have the most amazing shots. She was never afraid to speak up or go that extra mile for us to ensure that we we happy and all our needs were met. She brought a second shooter with her for our wedding, he was a pleasure to have as well, he too was extremely accommodating and easy to work with. It is so hard when looking for the right photographer because you think anyone can take pictures, I am here to tell you that IS NOT THE CASE. The way Nichole’s brain works is not like anyone else I have ever known, she sees things in the most simplistic way and is then able to capture a once in a lifetime shot that will have you in complete awe. I told Nichole after seeing (and crying at how beautiful the album came out) that that day may have come and gone, but the memories, because if her amazing capturing skills and keen eye will live on forever. I cherish each and every picture that she took. It is hard to believe after looking at such a huge photo album that there is not a single shot that I did not like. As the time for her to depart approached she came up to say goodbye and was asked to stay a bit longer to capture a few more memories, to which she was extremely accommodating. As I wrote this review I realize that I cannot show you the true value of Nichole and her work through a review but I can say from one bride to another, this women is On FIRE!!! I can GUARANTEE you to be one million percent happy and relieved that all your worries of finding the right photographer will come to an end the second you meet her. We will forever hold these moments that she was able to capture close to our hearts. On behalf of my husband, myself, my entire wedding party, friends and family I can’t shout it loud enough! GIVE THIS GAL A CALL, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Nichole and how perfect she is. Not only is she phenomenal at her job- providing outstanding and breathtaking pictures- but she is a phenomenal PERSON. We had Nichole for our engagement pictures which turned out beautifully, so we had the bar set high and she somehow exceeded those expectations!! She ensured things were moving seamlessly at my wedding (outside of her job scope and did that multiple times without prompting because she’s just a team player) and ensured I was hydrated, fed, and that my bridezilla wasn’t coming out (and it didn’t because of her). She went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were having a great time on our day and, honestly, just looked out for us because she genuinely cares. She also took such good care of my son, my beagle. Also, my husband and I can sometimes get awkward when pictures are being taken of us, but Nichole is so warm and personable that we relaxed right away, and it almost felt like we were just hanging out with a good friend. Those pictures, both from our engagement session and our wedding, came out gorgeous. We recently received sneak peeks and they knocked us off our feet. We cannot wait to see more! We will be using her in the future without question for all of our special events. Do not hesitate- book Nichole. She IS the best out there.

Nichole was fantastic to work with! The rainy day kept us inside for all of our pictures, but she was prepared and took beautiful pictures, capturing a very special day. She was professional, flexible, and an overall joy to work with. We received our pictures quickly and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the area. Thank you!

Nichole was AMAZING to work with! She was fun, outgoing and did an amazing job with the photos she took. She made sure we were comfortable with her & she handled the pressure SO WELL. My family was all over the place and she really kept it quick and simple BUT VERY BEAUTIFUL.!!! Hiring her again for my sons first birthday & every option & event i possibly can!! Definitely recommend her.!

We have had the privilege of having Nichole do our wedding. To say the least she made our day memorable. Prior to the day she was easy to talk to and expressed great professionalism. Hiring her was very seamless. On our special day, she made us feel comfortable and blended in like family. The delivery of our photos were very speedy and her cost is really affordable. I will definitely be using her again for future events.

Nichole came super early, brought fun and personalized to us props & really made sure to hit every item on my “must have” wish list of shots, and then some! We wanted photos to cherish forever at a price we could afford and Nichole fulfilled that perfectly!

I cannot recommend Photography by Strain enough! All of the photos were incredible and the turnaround was so fast.

The wedding was portrayed perfectly. The quality of the photos, the special moments captured made me feel like Nichole knew my husband and me perfectly.

All of my family and friends commented the photos are so great how do you even choose which ones to print!
