    Simply THE best!

    My experience with Fancy This photography was absolutely incredible! Courtney and Nikki were phenomenal to work with throughout our entire wedding journey from engagement photos to our wedding day and beyond. The pictures Courtney and Amanda took on our wedding day truly captured the joy we felt and will help us remember such an amazing day. Our family and friends were raving how awesome their team was and how comfortable they made them feel while taking photos. 10/10 would recommend.

    Aaaamaaazzzzzinngggggg!!!!!!!

    If I can give more stars I would, cause 5 stars is not enough to describe Nikki & Courtney. My husband and I had the privilege to work with both photographers for our engagement session. The quality, coordination, communication of their work is beyond extraordinary. As someone that struggles with anxiety, that all went away when I met Courtney and that’s exactly what we needed on our big day. She was very personable and let me tell you we had a really good time. You need a hype person, Courtney is your girl! You need someone to drop it low with on the dance floor? Courtney is THAT GIRL! I really appreciate the patience, time and flexibility that she took to capture a beautiful moment not with just us but with each family member and friends. Our friends and families LOOVVVVVED her. We thank the bottoms of our hearts for the whole team at Fancy This Photography.

    Fancy This is the BEST!

    Sarah and Nikki at Fancy This are the best photographers you can find! I cannot recommend them enough. Sarah was the lead photographer at our wedding and also did our engagement photoshoot! My husband and I loved working with Sarah - she had wonderful ideas on poses and picture locations and truly captured us being ourselves (I did not feel like I was in a bunch of forced photos - they were so natural!) Sarah and Nikki were both involved in our wedding ceremony/reception and they did a fantastic job. They were so open to all of our crazy requests and did everything to capture the wedding perfectly. They also are familiar with a bunch of venues and other vendors in the wedding space, which makes coordination so much more straightforward! If you're looking for the best photographs to capture your wedding, work with Fancy This.

    Stunning photos and so much fun to work with!

    Nikki and Sarah absolutely exceeded our expectations. They were both a joy to work with, super responsive and helpful. Nikki also made herself available to meet us before our wedding so we could get to know each other a bit more, which was a lovely special touch. During the wedding day, Nikki was so incredibly on top of everything, directing us and picking out the perfect shot. And the photos!! We've only seen the sneak pics (sent less than 24 hrs after our day) and they are absolutely stunning. Highly recommend working with Fancy This!

    Fancy This Photography is the BEST!!

    Sarah, Eden, and Nikki were absolutely wonderful. Fancy This Photography photographed our Engagement Session, Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Party, Ceremony, and Reception - and from the moment we met them, they made us feel comfortable, excited, and heard.

    With a large wedding party, plus a large extended family, one thing I appreciated outside of their AMAZING photos was how they kept us on track from a timing perspective and help corral the crowd.

    It's also not often that the groom and groomsmen enjoy taking photos, but my husband and his groomsmen loved how Eden let their "creativity' soar (AKA less serious photos in the midst of the more traditional wedding photos). They all made the day so much more fun.

    We could not speak more positively about Nikki, Sarah, Eden, and the entire team, and would recommend them to anyone getting married. We sincerely hope we get the opportunity to work with them again.

    Wonderful Experience

    Nikki was an absolute dream to work with for our engagement photos! She made us feel SO comfortable during the session and wonderfully captured the happiness we felt to be newly engaged. Everyone that has seen the photos has literally dropped their jaw by how beautiful they are. I would highly recommended Nikki for all photography needs.

    Fancy This Photography's reply:

    Oh, Aya! This is the absolute best review! Thank you so much for your kind words. You and Neel were an absolute dream, and I am honored that I was able to document this time in your engagement. Thank you, thank you! XO, Nikki

    Absolutely the Best!!

    Nikki & Samantha were amazing and so talented capturing our wedding day and now I love looking back at images reliving every little moment with such overwhelming joy :) They were both extremely easy to work with and made the experience so much fun while being organized to not miss out on any must have images. Taking pictures was a breeze since they helped to pose us and have the perfect background and angle to capture every detail! Very timely to send sneak peaks within a week after the wedding and the full gallery 7 weeks after the wedding even including a couple photo edits. They also went out of their way of to keep in touch before the wedding sending sweet small gifts and followed up after the wedding with a custom wooden picture box including a handful of print outs and a custom USB with all of our images making them so much more than another vendor but just great people who love what they do and do it well. Their images speak for their amazing talent and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to capture any life moment!

    unparalleled experience with an exceptional photographer!

    I don't even know where to begin. Nikki has been such an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. Both my husband and I are pretty awkward in front of the camera, and are not the "photoshoot" type, but let me tell you, Nikki makes you feel instantly comfortable. The galleries she produced both for our engagement shoot and our wedding day were STUNNING. It made me relive the day and remember the moments that would have otherwise blurred with time...I catch myself finding new favorites every time I look through the albums. It is really the gift that keeps on giving. While working with Nikki is an unparalleled experience in "normal" times, working with her in a pandemic, after postponing our original wedding date was next-level amazing. Nikki was an absolute pro at art directing while social distancing and communicating best practices via charade-like tactics, making everyone feel safe and like family at the same time. She totally created masterpieces and made it look like it was all us (but really it was all her!!). I cannot speak highly enough of her work, her aura and her professionalism.

    Incredible!

    Nikki did an unbelievable job capturing everything at our wedding. The pictures are incredible – everybody was blown away by how perfectly they captured the moment. On top of providing us the digital pictures, she went above and beyond by providing a flashdrive and additional physical copies of pictures in an awesome wooden box. There’s a reason she has 5 stars on google – do not hesitate to use Nikki for your photography needs!

    Nikki was absolutely amazing! The photos came out beautifully and I couldn't believe how many emotions were caught on film; from the smiles to the tears, the tender loving glances to even the really goofy moments. Nikki was entirely professional and had great ideas for special poses. She was also very flexible. I never felt that she was rushing to get any pictures taken and she was very open to suggestions for poses. I wouldn't trust anyone else to capture the most precious moments on my most special day.

    Fancy This Photography's reply:

    Erikka! You and David were a complete joy! You allowed and trusted me with so much! I am so ecstatic to know that you enjoyed yourself and the photos, as well!

    Photography GOAT

    Where do I begin?! Let me start with... I am not photogenic. I hate taking photos. I was not looking forward to any of the photography processes but Fancy This Photography made all our dreams come true! Nikki took our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, wedding photos, and an additional mini shoot photo. At every shoot, she genuinely listened to our ideas, made us feel comfortable, and creatively came up with unique ways to enhance shots. The photos came out better than we could have ever imagined. I never felt like I was taking photos with Nikki. I felt like we were hanging out with a best friend that kept us laughing the entire time. I was lucky to meet Samantha at our wedding (as the second shooter) and she is wonderful as well! They both are so supportive, make you feel so confident, and are a blast to be around!

    Incredible talent and a joy to work with!

    When we realized it would be raining on our wedding day, my main concern was what did that mean for our pictures?! But with Samantha behind the camera, I later realized I had nothing to worry about! With her incredible talent, what might have seemed like an unfortunate forecast actually became the backdrop to magical pictures. In fact, everyone who sees our pictures can't believe how gorgeous they are! When looking for a photographer, I wanted someone who could capture more of the natural and candid moments, and Samantha did a stellar job at that. But the magic of Fancy This doesn't stop there. With Nikki at the helm, they also have just about the best customer service you can imagine! In a hectic wedding planning season, her warmth and enthusiasm were such a gift. Not to mention her thoughtfulness at every turn! I would wholeheartedly recommend Fancy This Photography. They not only capture amazing images, but they're an absolute joy to work with in the process!

    Highly Recommended!

    Nikki was the best! I couldn't believe the day after our wedding she had emailed us 50 photos already and they were amazing. There is a trend in wedding photography for washed out "romantic" colors but I wanted the opposite - full colored images that are bright bold and make an impact and Nikki delivered. In addition, she was just very easy to work with. She worked so quickly with the group family shots and just knocked those out. For solo shots just the groom and me, we felt very comfortable and at ease. There was limited direction which was nice, feels like she captured more natural images that won't feel so staged.

    Engagement photos

    Nikki was a pleasure to work with! Taking our engagement photos was so fun with her. She kept us laughing and made it feel natural. The photos turned out perfect. She got to know our story ahead of time with lots of thoughtful questions to make sure our shoot captured who we are. She was so accommodating and worked around our busy schedules. I was impressed at how quickly she got the final edited album to us. Thanks Nikki!

    So much Energy, Spunk, and Kindness

    Nikki took our engagement pictures and was absolutely full of amazing energy and creativity. She makes everyone feel like family. I love that Nikki went along with my nutty idea to have motorcycles in my engagement pictures amd made them turn out amazing! I would recommend her to any of my friends.

    Fancy This Photography were a delight to work with

    Nikki and Samantha are lovely ladies to work with and always prompt with their emails and follow-ups. We had a simple elopement at a local courthouse and a photoshoot afterwards. Samantha did a wonderful job capturing our special day. She was warm and friendly. I’m really awkward in front of a camera but you couldn’t tell from the pictures. I’ve had nothing but compliments about our pictures from everyone I know. I’m so glad they were able to work with us on such a short timeframe and be our photographers. I wouldn’t have changed a thing! Great job ladies!!!

    Top Notch Experience

    From start to finish our experience was excellent. With so many details that need working out for a wedding it was refreshing to work with a photographer with a wealth of professional knowledge and every conversation before the wedding worked to put us at ease. By the time the wedding arrived the photography was one detail that we were confident was in good hands so we could focus on everything else.

    On the day of the wedding Nikki and her second shooter showed us their worth once again, giving us a perfect balance of spontaneity and direction in order to maximize the quality of photos and the experience without interrupting the flow of the day. She captured our personality perfectly and made for a great set of photos.

    After the wedding we received highlights the next day, allowing us to get some great photos out immediately to our guests and family, and the rest of the photos were ready for download within a few weeks.

    We definitely recommend using Fancy This Photography.

    Going Long 2019

    Fancy This went above and beyond to capture the magic of our wedding day. So much that she even tried to make it to our original date during Hurricane Florence. I've never felt more beautiful when being photographed. Their professionalism along with their charismatic personalities made it easy to feel comfortable front of a camera, even those that do not like getting their picture taken. Thank you Nikki and Samantha for making my day magical.

    The absolute best!

    Nikki was an absolute pro to work with. Her photos are beautiful and she knows just where to go and how to coach you to get amazing shots. Her organization and attention to detail made her more than just a photographer - we used her detailed timeline to plan most of the wedding day! She is so bubbly, friendly, and enthusiastic to boot. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Awesome photographer

    I cannot say enough good things about Nikki and Fancythisphotography. She was a true joy to work with and produced awesome shots that my daughter and I will treasure. She was very responsive and flexible with our needs. She also basically set the schedule for the day’s events and made recommendations for coordinating with other vendors. This was a big help as I was planning this wedding from another state. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

    Nikki is the best!!!

    Could not have asked for a better wedding photography experience! Nikki has a wonderful personality and works really hard to please her clients. She takes time to get to know the couple and their families prior to the wedding which enhances the quality of the photographs. She has a very creative eye and her photographs are beautiful. We really appreciate the time and effort Nikki put into creating such amazing keepsakes to help us remember such a special day.

    Book Nikki right now!!!

    Nikki was absolutely my favorite part of our wedding experience. She was flexible and helped so much with the planning. I honestly felt like our photographs were totally unique, rather than some 'cookie-cutter' approaches that other photographers might take, and I felt like we got a great value for the product we received. I can't say enough fantastic things about Nikki and the experience that she provides. We got an amazing service and left with an amazing friend. I will be using Nikki for all our life events in the future.

    COVID Elopement that Nikki pulled off.

    Where would we be without Nikki??? The first week that COVID hit my sweet friend had to postpone their wedding celebration but asked me to officiate. I wanted to make sure this sweet day was captured for them. Nikki was so professional and kind. We were using the flowers that had already been purchased and her background in floral design was clutch. The photos turned out great, I found a new friend, and most importantly my friends got married. Sometimes the ceremony is a big affair or sometimes it's 4 people. Nikki did a phenomenal job to capture it.
