About

Thistle and Twine Atelier is now Oh, the Life!!

Nikki combines her critical eye from her fine art background, with her love of storytelling in order to capture those natural fleeting moments between her subjects. She loves a soft, introspective moment, just as much as she loves an adventure filled with laughter and color. She especially loves shooting film - and being eco-friendly!

She also offers lifestyle portrait sessions, as well as film sessions with her gorgeously unique handmade brass and wood large format camera, to deliver the most luscious imagery for that special portrait.

Oh, the Life! is based in Chicago, but travels well.

Excellence!

Nikki was a super wedding photographer. She helped wrangle family, made thoughtful and practical suggestions, and weighed in our wedding timeline with her wealth of experience and knowledge. She was flexible and easy to work with. She also took beautiful photos that captured a wide range of activity. Her photos are intimate and lovely. We would gladly recommend her to anyone! Thanks!

I met Nikki at a Green Wedding Alliance wedding expo and immediately fell in love with her work. She pays attention to detail and thinks of everything! She has such attention to detail that I could not have coordinated my wedding schedule without her. The pictures turned out incredibly beautiful and she somehow managed to capture every emotion that day. The turn around on the photo gallery was so quick too! I enthusiastically recommend Nikki Segarra of Thistle & Twine Atelier to anyone!

I'm so thankful I found Nikki Segarra's photography. She was very professional, organized and reliable throughout all of our interactions. Nikki and I were able to meet in person before my stateside wedding reception to review the agenda, photo plans and go over expectations, which really paid off when the inevitable craziness of the big day ensued.

Nikki is an incredibly talented photographer and artist, and you won't have to look any further than her website to see that she's an awesome wedding photographer. I loved Nikki's action oriented and unique photography style because I think it captures the sentimental moments normally glossed over in standard wedding photography. I highly recommend Nikki's photography services for weddings and other special events.

Many thanks for all of your amazing work, Nikki! :-)
