    Incredible experience for our crazy wedding!

    We worked with John Allen and he was absolutely phenomenal!! Prepping for the wedding day was super easy and he did an amazing job taking our wacky ideas in stride. My wife and I were blown away by his amazing work!! Thanks again for capturing our special day, John :)

    Best Austin Wedding Photographer!

    We are so grateful to Laura and team for capturing our wedding day! From our very first meeting, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her enthusiasm and professionalism put us as ease, and she took the time to understand our vision for the day.
    The result was a perfect blend of candid and staged shots. She scouted the best locations at the venue, and gave us great creative direction on how to pose - we are so excited about the final photos! Our wedding party and guests also loved the photos. Would highly recommend Laura and team for your wedding and/or engagement shoot! If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also a pleasure to be around, Laura is your girl!

    WOW!!!!! We love Nikk and team

    WOW. Just wow. Me and my husband booked Nikk basically the second we got engaged about 1.5 years before our wedding. We immediately knew we wanted to work with him for our special day. He’s a true artist, all our our photos look like they should be on a magazine cover. We were in utter shock looking through the photos. He captured every detail, moment, and encounter so perfectly. The tones and hues on the photos are MAGIC, I cannot believe that’s what our wedding day looked like. We also chose to add on the video package and we are SO happy we did. The video perfectly captured the energy, love, details and the epic party we threw. We genuinely cannot stop watching it. It’s like a music video of the best day of our lives with all of our favorite people. Nikk and his team were so incredibly calm, cool and collected on the wedding day which is exactly the energy we needed on our big day. We cannot say enough amazing things about Nikk and team. Book them ASAP, you will not be sorry

    Highly recommend working with Laura

    We couldn't possibly be happier with our experience working with Laura at Nikk Nguyen Photo!! Both my husband and I feel a little awkward in front of the camera, so we were worried our photos would look stiff, but they don't at all! Laura made us feel so relaxed so that we could just be ourselves. We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Laura. We highly recommend doing that so you can get to know each other before the day of the wedding when there is so much other stuff going on. After the wedding, our family kept commenting that they were so impressed with how Laura moved around so seamlessly and got great shots of everyone throughout the night. Our photos are perfect and we will treasure them forever. Thank you Laura!

    Thank you so much Jordan! We had so much fun capturing all of your precious moments. We appreciate you choosing us to be part of your day!

    The perfect day

    Laura photographed my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. She was an absolute delight to work with. A sweet and fun personality. She did such a beautiful job of capturing their personalities and telling the story of the day.

    Laura was the perfect choice for a photographer for our wedding

    When my partner and I had a small courthouse wedding in September, it was important to us to find a great photographer. Laura was such a dream to work with. She was responsive and accommodating, especially as we worked through figuring out how we wanted our wedding day to look. Laura brought such a fun energy and vibe to the day and she got along with everyone perfectly. My partner and I are a little camera-shy, but shooting with her felt so natural and she got so many fantastic shots of the day. She was full of great ideas and did such an amazing job capturing our personalities and our relationship in the photos. We couldn’t be happier with how well the photos turned out, and we would recommend Laura to everyone we know in a heartbeat.

    Our Special Day

    My experience with Nikk and Laura was amazing. Initially we had planned to have Nikk shoot our wedding but do to a busy schedule he wasn't available. He suggested we have Laura take our pictures and i couldn't be happier with the results. Laura captured all the important moments with ease and in a crazy short time frame. She was also extremely professional and easy to work with. The pictures where also edited & finalized super fast which was awesome. I can absolutely recommend hiring Laura for your special day.

    Best Photographer ever!

    It’s been almost 6 months since we got married and I can safely say that time has in no way mellowed my appreciation for the fabulous work of Laura! Every step of the way she was warm, fun, insightful and incredibly generous with her time and energy. Her work speaks for itself, but I still have to add that our wedding photographs are better than we could have ever expected or dreamed of (direct quote from one of our guests – “They are the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen!!”). The style of her photography is simply stunning and she managed to snap every tiny detail of the day – she did not miss a moment and the end result is truly amazing photography that captures every emotion of the day beautifully. We can not thank Laura enough and we will forever cherish our pictures

    Engagement shoot and 12 hour Indian wedding

    Nikk and his team were so incredible. We had a very long wedding and they were prompt, cheerful, and flexible throughout a very intense 12 hour day of shooting an Indian fusion wedding. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this experience- My engagement photos we’re stunning and he managed to capture both of us authentically without having to force unnatural poses or situations. I truly believe Nikk can make even the least photogenic or awkward person look amazing in photos. Out of all of my vendors I am most grateful that we hired Nikk for our wedding - If you have the opportunity to work with this studio then you are in luck - just do it, don’t think! You will be incredibly pleased with the comfortable experience, amazing photos, and just good hang. Highly recommend.

    The best part of our wedding

    We are in absolute awe of how our wedding photos were able to capture the immense love and joy we felt - it’s actually wild. Booking with Nikk was the first, and easiest, decision we made when deciding our wedding vendors. From our first conversation, we knew we were in good hands. We loved that Nikk doesn’t do the traditional “posed” photos - he lives very in the moment and that is the reason we got absolutely smashing photos for our wedding. We had Laura photograph our pre-wedding shoot and our Pithi event, and had Laura and Nikk photograph our wedding and just wow. From our first photo to our last, Laura made us feel so so comfortable that our shoots were FUN! We joked at the end that Laura was actually family because it was so seamless integrating her into our events knowing she would capture them beautifully! On our wedding day, Nikk and Laura crushed it - we were running really late but they both made us feel at ease and you can literally see how calm and stress free we felt in the photos - that’s a true testament to them as a team. There were shots we didn’t even know they were taking and I cannot explain enough how much those unexpected shots were my favorite. If there’s any decision you should make for your wedding or any event it’s to book with them!

    Nikk Nguyen Photography

    You won’t regret booking with Nikk! From the beginning when we did a phone consultation Nikk has been extremely professional, easy to work with, thorough, and responsive. We had a small ceremony with only ten people at a gorgeous venue and wanted someone who could capture the intimacy of a small ceremony in a way that fit with our personalities. Nikk was that person. He was laid back, unobtrusive, and gave us amazing direction when posing us. We are both super awkward when taking photographs but Nikk made us feel comfortable and made it a fun process and I just remember laughing almost the entire time. We received our photo gallery a little over three weeks after. Our photos came out even more stunning than I could imagine! It was a good mix of posed and candid photos. The candid photos make me so emotional when I look at them because they feel so intimate, authentic, and I don’t even remember Nikk being there to capture the moment. That’s how unobtrusive he is. He seriously worked his magic and has an amazing eye and made us look like we belonged in a magazine. Everyone that we have shown the photos to have said the same thing: they can feel the love and happiness radiating from everyone in each photograph. I can’t even begin to express how much we love our photos and how pleased we are with Nikk’s service. We would recommend Nikk to anybody!

    Engagement and Wedding Photography

    Nikk was one of the very first vendors we chose for our wedding. After seeing his work and what he was about, I knew he was the only photographer I would want for our special day. There is so much authenticity in his photos. He captures all the raw, beautiful moments instead of staging them. I never once felt like I was forced into posing for a bunch of photos or that I was taken away from the actual experience. It can be overwhelming finding a photographer when there is a sea of people to choose from, but his work is unique and definitely stands out from all the others - art that is simply effortless yet stunning. He did both our engagement and wedding. Both times were so comfortable and fun and it honestly just felt like we were hanging out with a friend. Nikk will probably be one of the most chill, easy going people you meet. If you want to hang out with someone really cool and also get the best photos ever, he’s the one!

    11/10 Recommend

    Nikk is nothing short of an artist. Truthfully, we knew we wanted to hire him before we were even engaged, but we had no idea how unparalleled working with him would really be. He so perfectly captured not only beautiful photos but the way we felt the entire day. Him and his team have a true talent in capturing moments you never even dreamed of, but once you see them, you can’t live without. Speaking of his team, all of them are a powerhouse performing at the same caliber and it’s a sight to see to see them in their element. Above all else Nikk is a super chill and down to earth guy who will make you feel completely natural and comfortable in front of the camera. If you want perfect wedding photos that will last through the ages, book him and his team asap!

    Nikk's work is extraordinary!!!

    Because of Nikk, my husband and I's wedding day was perfectly preserved. He managed to bottle the excitement, emotion, dancing, laughing, speeches, and all the moments in between thoroughly and beautifully. We definitely recommend Nikk for this reason but also because he's a pleasure to work with!! He does each round of photos efficiently, responds quickly to any questions, and overall, brought positive energy to our big day! Book Nikk now, you won't regret it!

    Best Austin Photog !!

    Ok if you are looking for a great photographer and amazing photos it’s Nikk. We worked with him on our engagement photos, and we had the best time. Nikk is the best in the biz- he knows what he’s doing, made us feel 100% comfortable in what would have otherwise been awkward posing moments, and was fast! His aesthetic is also really cool - very natural and authentic. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else !!!! If you want good photos and to work with a cool human being, work w Nikk.

    I had a 2 day affair for my wedding. Nikk’s associate, Nicole, shot our reception and Nikk shot our intimate wedding. I cannot recommend Nikk and Nicole highly enough. The photographs are so beautiful, cohesive, and wonderfully tell the story of our wedding. They both went above and beyond to capture us in the best scenery, with the best angles, and with true emotion. Thank you so much Nikk and Nicole!!
