    Best wedding decision we made!

    Nicole was by far our best and favorite vendor, and easily one of the BEST wedding decisions we made. She is so on top of everything, the kindest soul, and so skilled at finding the best angles, capturing the purest emotions, and taking the most beautiful photos.

    During my wedding research, I had bookmarked over 80 photographers b/c I wanted to find the perfect one. What stood out to us about Nicole, besides the beautiful color of her photos, was that the people in her photos looked happy and lively, rather than stiff and forced, which is probably why my sister, bridesmaids, and I all independently chose her photos in a blind test.

    Apart from being an amazing photographer, leading up to the wedding day, Nicole was always organized, and gave kind, quick, and thorough responses. On the wedding day, she effortlessly guided everyone to the right place at the right times, all while remaining kind and calm. My bridesmaids also told me she was “amazing” and "I loved her. She was so fast. And like knew exactly what to do. So articulate w her words but so gentle."

    The wedding teasers we’ve received are absolutely perfect — we couldn’t possibly love them any more, and everyone else has also told me how beautiful the photos are. You will be in the best hands with Nicole and we could not recommend her more!!!

    Best Wedding Photographer on the Planet!

    Nicole is the sweetest, most talented photographer ever! She works so hard to get the best images. She gave us tips on how to hold hands and made us feel so comfortable. She met with us on video chat to understand our vision twice. She also hired a fantastic second shooter. Not to mention, worked very well with our video team. Last but NOT LEAST, she helped me get dressed and helped to fix my zipper. A true angel! All Brides need Nicole on their Squad! XOXO

    Photos of your dreams!

    Nicole is truly the best of the best! We really needed a photographer that was going to make us feel comfortable and give us a ton of direction, and she did just that! We did our engagement shoot with her so we could meet and get familiar. By wedding day we felt so calm and comfortable with her. Her positive energy is infectious and she guides you every step of the way. My family and especially my bridesmaids were so happy and impressed with her. It made our day so incredible and we are so happy to have these photos forever!

    We can't say enough wonderful things about Nicole - Hire her!

    My husband and I first worked with Nicole for our engagement and we were thrilled to work with her again for our wedding.

    Nicole is incredible! She truly captured the love and joy of our wedding day, and the photos are gorgeous.

    Nicole is extremely warm, friendly, and has just the type of energy you want to have around you on such a special day. She does an amazing job connecting with family and wedding guests, and is very patient! We had a lot of family photos to take after our ceremony, and Nicole did a great job corralling everyone and keeping us on track with our timeline.

    We can't say enough wonderful things about Nicole!

    Best Photographer Ever

    Nicole is a PHENOMENAL photographer. I couldn’t recommend her enough. My husband and I used Nicole’s services for our engagement shoot and wedding day, and the pictures are better than we could’ve ever asked for. On top of that, she is so kind and laid-back, which made the wedding day a breeze. If you’re considering who to choose for your big day, take this as your sign to go with Nicole. You won’t regret it!

    Definitely book Nicole!

    I spent months researching photographer options for my wedding. At the time, I did not realize how different photographer's editing styles were. It became apparent to me that I was looking for a style that would be light, airy, and colorful. When I first met Nicole (via Zoom) we knew she would be a great photographer for our wedding. She was very responsive and made sure we had clear alignment for which photos were 'must haves' for the day of. Nicole was also instrumental in helping with our day of schedule and helped keep us on track the day of! The photos came back absolutely stunning!

    Hire Nicole - you won't regret it!!

    Nicole is THE BEST! We initially hired her for our engagement shoot but we loved her photos so much once we saw them that we immediately hired her for our wedding too, and those photos came out equally as amazing! Nicole did such a great job capturing all of the happiness, warmth and love from our wedding day that I feel like I’m reliving every wonderful moment when I look at them. Beyond her skills as a photographer, Nicole was such a sweet, positive person to have with us at the wedding - when it was time for her to go I didn’t want her to leave! Overall, Nicole was a marvelous addition to our day and captured every beautiful moment in pictures that our family and friends are still raving about months later!

    The best decision out of all the wedding planning

    Nicole went above and beyond expectations. She was very responsive, and accommodating to covid concerns. We only had her for a short while, but somehow she found the time to capture every moment I was hoping for, along with some that came as a pleasant surprise when I got the photos back! These photos are more beautiful then I could have possibly imagined and my family and I will cherish them for the rest of our lives.

    Nicole was AMAZING!

    Nicole was absolutely incredible!! We can’t say enough good things about her. From our engagement photo shoot to the wedding day, Nicole did the best job of making us feel so comfortable and special. Our family and friends at our wedding were also blown away by the ease in which she took photos and how she was always around whenever someone wanted a photo taken throughout the day. She also took the time to come early to the wedding venue to scope out the best locations and lighting. Within 3 days of our wedding we were sent the GORGEOUS teaser photos —we have never looked so good!! We will definitely be hiring Nicole for all other special life events moving forward.

    Ah-mazing!!!

    Nicole is the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Her professionalism and passion for what she does shines in her work. She was super responsive, incredibly easy to work with, and made us feel so comfortable throughout every step. She created magic by capturing the most intimate and detailed moments of our wedding in such a beautiful and unique way. Thank you for making our day so unforgettable! We couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her!

    We love Nicole!

    Oh my gosh. I can't say enough positive things about Nicole. Not only is she the friendliest, and SO enjoyable to be around, she's professional, organized, and takes breathtaking photos. My fiance and I hired her for our engagement shoot. From day one, she was extremely responsive and thorough (especially with all of my questions), and provided us with many recommendations (photos included!) on places to shoot. During our session, she made us feel so comfortable and knew how to direct while still allowing our personalities to shine. My fiance and I felt like she was a close friend of ours, and we even joked that we wish she was! Then the photos...wow. We were blown away by what she captured: the colors, scenery, emotions -- all spot on. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone who is looking for a talented photographer who provides first-class service. Her photos are fun, colorful and happy - just like her!

    STOP LOOKING!!! This is your girl!

    From day one, I knew finding a great photographer was KEY! I believe I found Nicole on Instagram and instantly knew she was exactly what I wanted for our elopement. I knew my husband and I would marry outside in the natural element and, just by looking at Nicole’s photos, looked like that was her expertise! I initiated contact immediately and it was a breeze! Weeks and days leading up to our elopement, Nicole was very quick with responses and so easy to communicate with. On the day of our ceremony, she was there early scoping out great spots for photos and was ready! It was a chilly afternoon and Nicole carried great conversation as we were walking to our spot. Later on, my husband said she was so easy to talk to and really made us feel comfortable. Most guys don’t like posing or being told how to pose, my man forgot all about that - as Nicole made things so easy for us both! I especially loved her commentary as she was taking photos and commenting on the sun hitting the water, or the moon shining bright in the back; making us all the more excited to see the finished photos! Earlier, I had asked if she’d take photos of my jewelry, other than my rings, because they were all my grandma’s who passed earlier this year. It was definitely very special and important to me. Once everything was done, she said she’d have a preview ready for us to view in a couple days, of course, no problem. But the day after our elopement, to our surprise, I received the preview email and my husband and I were elated!!! Sheer, natural beauty! We were completely shocked and in love with our photos!!! We’re still in awe of them and can’t believe that that’s US! I feel completely blessed to have “found” Nicole on Instagram and to even have a number of things in common with. She is simply amazing and heaven sent!

    Nicole is a dream!

    We worked with Nicole for our engagement photos in 2019, and then booked her for our wedding in November 2020, which ended up being postponed to November 2021. Nicole was THE BEST to work with. She was always super responsive on email when I had questions or requests. On the day of the wedding, Nicole and her second shooter were literally a dream. They were so low key and chill, which is exactly what I needed in that stressful situation. Nicole was super perceptive to my personality and mood, and she could tell when I was ready to move on from a certain shot or group. Our entire wedding party and families loved working with her! She sent our preview pics so quickly, and honestly there are so many amazing pictures included! I can't imagine what the full albums will be like! I would recommend Nicole 100% to people looking for a wedding photographer in the area with her style!

    Nicole is the best

    Hiring Nicole was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We were originally supposed to get married in April 2020 and didn't end up having the wedding until September 2021. Nicole was amazing throughout the entire process: she helped us find other vendors and supported us through many postponements. On the wedding day she made everyone feel comfortable and confident. And most importantly our photos turned out beautifully! The colors are vibrant and classic so they will never go out of style. We couldn't be happier with our photos and the environment Nicole helped to create on our wedding day. She really went above and beyond the role of a photographer and we would highly recommend hiring her!

    a joy to work with!

    Nicole was so sweet and an absolute joy to work with! I gave her examples of specific shots I wanted to capture on my wedding day and she made it happen. She was also a calming presence amidst all the stress on that day. Most importantly my photos are so beautiful and I am obsessed with how they came out!

    Malibu beach proposal

    I can’t say enough great things about Nicole! She was so knowledgeable, professional, and detail oriented and really did an amazing job at communicating with me throughout the entire process. I was flying across the country for this proposal and the week before she scouted out the area and sent me a detailed presentation so I felt really prepared for the big moment. I can’t recommend Nicole enough and feel very fortunate she was able to capture this moment for us!

    Beyond Expectations!

    My husband and I are so unbelievably pleased with our gorgeous wedding photos and the level of quality and care Nicole put into them. Nicole is professional, poised and just as sweet as can be. Our beautiful photos are bright, timeless and retell the day as we always want to remember it. They are beyond anything we could imagine. While much of our day felt like it was falling apart, due to other vendor issues, Nicole took charge of the situation and stepped in where she didn’t even need to. I honestly couldn’t have made it through the day without her support, professionalism and direction. Leading up to the wedding, Nicole took time to meet with us several times to go over specific details. We walked the venue a week before the wedding and picked spots for photos based on the time of the day and light. Something I felt was above what she needed to do. She made sure she knew exactly who we wanted pictures with, where we wanted pictures and focused on making sure the day went exactly as we had envisioned it. To top it all off, she was just plain fun to work with. I would recommend Nicole to anyone who is looking for an incredible photographer. I can’t put together enough kind words to say about Nicole and her photography business. I’m already anxious to see the pictures she will take of our sweet baby boy when he arrives. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with these valuable moments.

    Over the moon!

    Nicole was absolutely a dream to work with. Right from the start she responded to my inquiries with openness and flexibility. My husband and I were originally drawn to her cheerful personality. We were so impressed with how organized and creative she was. We soon grew close to her positive energy and passion for her art.
    We truly fell in love with Nicole during our engagement session, she made us both feel so comfortable and confident. Our images turned out absolutely beautiful, she’s truly gifted with an eye for light and scenery.
    Finally Nicole made our wedding day so easy and fun. We received our photos very timely and quick!! She gave us lasting images we will both cherish for the rest of our lives.
    I would recommend Nicole over and over again. It feels like we have known her forever!

    Amazing, Stress-Free

    Nicole photographed our engagement photos and wedding day. She made the whole experience, fun, relaxing and enjoyable. With a complicated family and some interesting family dynamics, she made the whole dynamic flow seamlessly while producing photos that will bring us so much joy for years to come. She is truly talented and I recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    The Easiest Decision We Made

    I am a wedding photographer. My close circle kept asking while I was wedding planning, "Who is going to be YOUR photographer?" Honestly, that was the easiest decision I made, choosing Nicole! Not only is she technically skilled, but her ability to capture the big moments as well as the small is unparalleled. If you'll notice, I attached quite a few candids of my now husband throughout our wedding day! We are so happy with our gallery. Truly, Nicole made us both feel confident on a day where it's very easy to feel overwhelmed, tugged in all different directions, and stressed. Oh! I have to mention this story. We were taking photos with our shave ice and a li hing mui laced pineapple fell off and down the length of my wedding dress. Red powder everywhere. Nicole moved quickly asking for water and napkins and eventually a Tide pen appeared. She was able to get it ALL OUT! We love Nicole!!!

    As the mother of the bride, I was stressed to the max before my daughter's wedding. There were so many last minute surprises and changes. Oh my gosh. But, then Nicole arrived at the venue. She was so calm and on top of everything. She calmed us all down. She was in control, but so sweet and kind and accommodating. We could not have chosen a better person for our daughter's wedding. And the photos, oh, my gosh, they are beautiful. Nicole worked non-stop and it showed. She did not miss anything! And that included the bride and grooms, dog. My one and only "complaint" is that, just like all the other wedding photographers we interviewed, our photos were not available until several weeks after the wedding. This seems to be normal. But, Nicole DID send us about a dozen highlight photo files the next day - so we could start posting and bragging and ordering thank you cards. Make sure your photographer gets you at least some photos right away. I would definitely recommend Nicole.
