    Incredible Experience

    What an unbelievably amazingly turnaround time-- I'm amazed by Nicole's speed, and also by the wonderful quality of the photos she took. We love these so much, and we loved having her there as our photographer.

    City Hall Elopement Photoshoot

    Nicole and her assistant did a small shoot for our elopement at city hall with our immediate family. It was a group of 15 including young children and they were both so kind and patient with our whole group and the pictures came out amazing. Nicole found some great spots to take beautiful pictures and didn't stress when we were interrupted by some background photo bombers. She made the whole process stress-free and seamless for us and was so quick getting the pictures back to us! She was so responsive throughout the process. The whole family looked through the pictures together and we all thought she did such a wonderful job! We can’t wait to work with Nicole and her team again!

    The Best!!

    We can't say enough wonderful things about Nicole and her team! From start to finish, they were absolutely fantastic. Nicole and Karen were incredibly organized, making our wedding day so much less stressful. They managed to capture every special moment perfectly, and the photos are stunning! We were blown away by how quickly we received them.

    Nicole even managed to work her magic with our cats, who are notorious for being difficult to photograph—she literally herded cats! We feel so lucky to have had such a great experience and highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    Thank you, Nicole, for everything!

    So grateful for Nicole Chan!

    Nicole Chan was everything we hoped we'd find in a wedding photographer -- highly professional, kind and caring, sensitive and thoughtful, flexible and responsive, and, of course, a phenomenal photographer. She really cared about getting to know us and listened closely to what we wanted on our day, which was capturing joy and candid moments with friends and family. She and her team absolutely nailed it!!! We are BEYOND thrilled with how the photos came out, and grateful for how easy the day felt with Nicole and her team. Highly highly recommend!

    Karen was incredible!

    Our wedding photos are incredible! A huge thank-you to Karen Eng Lane, who took beautiful photos and organized the entire process. Starting from our first meeting and going through the engagement shoot and wedding day, Karen made sure she knew exactly what we liked (and disliked!) so she could create the perfect wedding photos. We are generally camera-shy people and are so happy that Karen found ways to make us feel comfortable and look natural on camera. She is a true professional and we never had to worry about photos for the entire wedding process, which let us focus on enjoying the day! Karen helped us navigate some timeline changes (e.g., ceremony running late) during the wedding day and kept us on-track while making sure we got all the photos we wanted. We love our wedding photos and highly recommend Karen to anyone getting married in the Boston area!

    Best wedding photographer out there

    Nicole and her team were amazing. The pictures they took were phenomenal and really captured the joy of our wedding day. Nicole made the process fun and easy and went out of her way to make sure that my husband and I were comfortable. Not only did she make us look fabulous, she somehow managed to get great pictures of all the children in our wedding! If you know children you know this is not an easy feat! Not only is Nicole a lovely and profession human, she goes beyond what would be expected of any photographer. Nicole helped bustle my wedding dress and fixed my hair mid Hora. There are not many photographers I know that would do that. I have always been told that you want a wedding photographer that is professional, fun, engaging, and (obviously) a great photographer. Nicole and her team are just that. They are simply the best and I would recommend them to anyone who wants amazing photos and a seamless photography experience.

    Brilliant and thoughtful photographer

    Nicole is a thoughtful, talented, and brilliant photographer. As a wedding planner, I have high standards for professionalism, communication, and a collaborative spirit - Nicole embodies each one of these qualities and exceeds all expectations. Nicole has an incredibly keen eye - somehow managing to observe the smallest of details in front of her, while also thinking three steps ahead. Above all else, she is incredibly kind and humble. Being with her feels like reconnecting with an old friend, earning immediate trust from her clients and creative partners. I truly wish I could bring Nicole with me to photograph all of my clients events. She’s a rare talent in a sea of wedding and event professionals.

    Amazing photographer

    Nicole came highly recommended by several people and we were thrilled to have her as our wedding photographer! There were many decisions to be made about our wedding day, but choosing Nicole was undoubtedly the most straightforward and rewarding decision! Throughout the planning stages and on the actual day, Nicole proved to be not only a highly skilled photographer but also an incredibly organized and easy-to-communicate-with professional. She gorgeously captured so many moments from our wedding day; our family and guests couldn’t stop praising the stunning photos. More than just a photographer, Nicole is a true artist, evident in her meticulous attention to detail, excellent composition, vibrant color choices, adept use of light, and impeccable timing. Also, Nicole was truly dedicated to understanding our preferences beforehand. She took the time to discuss the kind of photos we wanted, making us feel confident that she would deliver exactly what we envisioned. Her commitment to ensuring our satisfaction was evident throughout the entire process. Nicole, we can’t thank you enough for so beautifully capturing our wedding day and creating everlasting memories!!! Nicole is simply wow!!! we can’t recommend her highly enough!

    Talented, responsive, kind and exceeded our expectations!

    Nicole impressed us from the start! Incredibly responsive, super enthusiastic about helping us with our day, very organized, well-priced with excellent value. On the actual day, showed up exactly on time, managed to capture all 7 group shots (like herding cats) with a smile, helped me with my dress before/during the event and was a JOY to have alongside us throughout the best day of our lives. Images available within 48 hours of the event - just WOW! Please consider Nicole Chan Photography - you will NOT be disappointed but will be THRILLED with her as a person and with her work.

    Absolutely Amazing Photos and Experience

    We booked an engagement shoot with Nicole. We had such a great experience from the initial booking through receiving the photos. We were really nervous as this was the first time we've ever posed for professional photographs, but Nicole was amazing. She was so friendly and personable and her directions were so great it put us at ease almost immediately. She has a great eye and was able to find backdrops and compositions that really made out photos pop with contrast, complemented our outfits, and really showed the candid emotions on our faces. It also was great to know that she had so much experience photographing cultural and fusion weddings (I'm Chinese and my fiancée is Indian), and truly understood some of the difficulties we had planning a fusion wedding. We received the edited photos faster than I could imagine on the same day. We would not hesitate to recommend Nicole Chan Photography to anyone getting married!

    Nicole is amazing!

    Nicole was so kind and incredible! She made taking photos so easy and stress-free (and kept us on time)! We were speechless when our photos arrived- they were nothing short of beautiful and timeless! We cannot emphasize enough how wonderful our experience was with her.

    Professional, artistic, candids!

    An amazing choice for couples who want more candid and less posed pictures of them on their wedding day! The photos of my husband and I are absolutely beautiful -- we almost don't know what to do with all of them!

    Nicole and her team were extremely communicative and very easy to work with from the initial planning phases through our receipt of our final photos, videos, and album. We received our online photo gallery just days after our wedding, our videos less than 2 months after our wedding, and our album less than 4 months after our wedding! Each item was extremely high quality, and we are so happy with them!

    Nicole's background in business has created a photo and video team that have the ability to capture a wedding in an artistically beautiful way, while also maintaining extreme professionalism and an ability to keep to a schedule!

    Special shoutout to Karen for the stunning work on our album and our videos (we still watch our highlight reel constantly!), and Masao for his work with the groom and groomsmen the day of the wedding!

    Amazing!!!!!!

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Nicole Chan and one of her amazing people, Victor, at our wedding. I could write a novel on how amazing they both were, but I don’t think I have enough room on this website. They were absolutely phenomenal. Our entire day was such a pleasant experience with both of them. They were so professional, and made us feel comfortable and calm. There were moments where I didn’t even know they were there, and I think that is one of the many things that makes a good wedding photographer! We had so much fun doing our day of them. We’ve gotten a handful of them back and we are absolutely blown. The quality, creativeness, and moments are unbelievable. They captured such special candid moments of our day, memories that we will cherish in our family for decades to come. Thank you so much, Nicole and Victor!

    The Wedding Photography of my Dreams!!

    Working with Nicole and her team for our wedding was a dream! She made every vision a reality and was a total sport when it came to our quirky style and the special set ups we wanted including a red carpet entry and a "remake" of The Graduate for our Save the Date! And more than a sport she was INTO IT! She and her team brought such fun and enthusiasm to the day coupled the total professionalism. My family kept commenting, "the photographers were working their tails off all night! Like paparazzi!" And the outcome is STUNNING. The pictures truly capture the story of the night in a way we will cherish forever. Like a movie. :) Thank you Nicole and Karen and everyone at NCPV! Brendan and I are so grateful.

    Amazing and organized!

    I highly recommend Nicole Chan. She is so organized and talented, as well as very kind. Her and her team were very efficient and captured the moments that meant the most to my husband and I. She gave great suggestions and has an amazing eye when it comes to photography. I am so happy we chose her and suggest any couple who wants a very professional and organized photographer to hire her. Thank you Nicole!

    Nicole is your dream photographer!

    Nicole Chan should be everyone’s first choice for wedding photographer!

    We were so glad Nicole Chan was available on our daughter’s wedding date.

    Nicole was incredibly organized and professional throughout every step of the way... For example, before our daughter’s wedding, Nicole Zoomed with us and asked great questions to get to know us and also to get us thinking. After our meeting, Nicole shared excellent articles and blog posts she had previously written which were full of thoughtful tips. These articles helped us accurately imagine wedding day and figure out what pictures we really wanted.

    Well before the wedding, Nicole shared a google doc with us so we could add in the most important wedding day pictures, etc.
    On wedding day, Nicole was on-time and talented at her craft. She was organized and direct about getting the various groups formed for the portraits. She had the exact right balance of organization, professionalism and warmth.
    She was friendly and respectful to everyone and put everyone at ease.

    The photos Nicole Chan took were phenomenal! Gorgeous and artistic photography! My only problem is which pictures to frame and which to include in albums, because so many photos are outstanding. Our daughter is so happy! So are we!

    I give the highest recommendation for Nicole Chan photography!

    Amazing experience. Made us feel really comfortable

    Nicole is amazing! We booked her to do our wedding this month and are so glad we did. We loved her artistic eye and the way she was able to capture every little moment in a very natural way. She was so great with all our friends and family and made everyone feel really comfortable the whole time. We got so many fantastic pictures we couldn't be happier. My husband and I don't overly love being photographed a lot but she made us laugh and really enjoy every moment. Thanks so much!

    Kind, professional, and organized team that produce amazing photos!

    Nicole and her team were incredible at my wedding. They showed up just as me and my bridal party were getting our makeup done and started capturing the magical moments. She and her assistant were super organized and captured all the family photos before the ceremony started. During and after the ceremony, you could barely tell they were there save for a few times she pulled me and my friends aside for other group photos.
    I would highly recommend Nicole Chan Photography as they are kind, professional, and produce stunning photos.

    You need to look no further! Hire Nicole!

    We'll start with that Nicole and her team was one of our top 5 best decisions of our wedding. Our guests can't stop talking about the beauty of our photographs as well as quickness at getting the photographs! You need to look no further. I believe so much in this statement that that's what I said when I referred Nicole to my friend looking for a wedding photographer. Nicole and her team were incredible: professional and talented, understood how to interact with our families and guests, and extremely clear and communicative. We had full trust that photography and videography were completely taken care of. If we had to do it again, we would re-hire Nicole and her team immediately.

    Absolutely amazing wedding photos!!!!!!

    Nicole was simply amazing from start to finish. From planning with us regarding what shots we wanted to making sure we got all the shots we wanted day of, Nicole was on point and far exceeded our expectations. Nicole was extremely good at giving us direction and capturing all of the right angles. In the end our wedding pictures ended up absolutely beautiful. She made the concrete walls of City Hall Boston look like the best destination for a ceremony and caught the most wonderful candid photos. Every friend, family member, coworker, etc. has let me know how amazing the photos are. Nicole also processed our photos with blinding speed and delivered them in a very professional and accessible manner. I cannot recommend Nicole enough. If you are planning a wedding, Nicole is your photographer.

    A True Expert

    We worked with Nicole to photograph our small wedding on NYE in the Boston Public Garden and were absolutely impressed with her expertise and final results. Even with a small wedding (>15 total people), we had to change plans a few times and Nicole was with us every step of the way. What was most important to us was having a photographer that was familiar with the area and we definitely benefitted from Nicole's expertise. She even helped us get a second set of family photos in our hotel that we didn't even plan on. She took on the corralling of family members so well that it seemed effortless. We also had a great surprise when looking through our ceremony photos because we couldn't believe that she was able to get so many angles of us and our guests as a single photographer. Nicole was prompt, professional but also fun to be with during our solo session. Nicole also turned our gallery around so fast. It made our minimoon to be able to review our special day that quickly.

    I wish I had booked her for the wedding!

    I reached out to Nicole for a wedding portrait session after getting married in October and receiving lackluster portraits from my original wedding photographer. I heard back from her right away and was able to schedule a portrait session in her studio in Boston. We just had the portrait session a few days ago, and the whole experience was fantastic! Nicole (and her assistant, Kelly) were fantastic with using the right lighting and posing suggestions to get us to look our best. I was also impressed at how attentive she was to things like slight hair or clothing malfunctions, which are easy to miss in the moment but can really spoil photos later. To our surprise, we received our photos the very same day, and were blown away by how good they are! I showed them to a friend and she marveled at how true the colors were (not an easy task, with iridescent Indian silk clothing). I was a bit worried that a studio session would look staid and flat but that was not the case at all. My only regret after the session is that I didn’t use Nicole Chan Photography for our wedding—highly, highly recommended!

    Wonderful!

    We worked with Nicole's studio lead, Karen for our wedding and she was wonderful! She was extremely efficient, organized, and kind. She made me feel so much less stressed about our wedding day. She made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and they came out perfect. In addition, she walked us through the process of making our photo album. We loved so many of the pictures that we had a hard time narrowing them down! Nicole also frequently checked in with us via email and gave us some great tips and tricks. Karen and Nicole were great to work with, I highly recommend them.
