Jeannine Sent on 11/25/2022Best photographer & investment!
I discovered Nikki at the beginning of the year through a mutual friend who posted some images captured by Nikki on social media. I was in love with her work- it was the total vibe I was going for & it seemed so effortless and beautiful so I didn’t hesitate to reach out. I booked Nikki for a mini session with my fiancé & purchased a wedding package which included an engagement session- that’s how confident I was in what she was offering. Our first meeting was short & sweet but beyond what I expected. My fiancé and I were running late and she was able to accommodate us and she was so friendly and personable! This is so important to me because my fiancé (at the time) isn’t as crazy about taking photos as I can be. 😅 When she sent our gallery I could not believe how many beautiful images she managed to capture in a “mini” session. This confirmed I had picked the perfect person to capture my wedding! Not only was her price point for the wedding package a great deal but she offered a special discount and made us feel so appreciated! Needless, to say this was the start of my love for Nikki! Our engagement session did not disappoint & by this time she made us feel like friends and we had a blast with her! Last month my husband and I got married & although we expected it to take 6-8 weeks for our wedding gallery Nikki sent sneak peeks within 2 days!! Not one, not two, but like 40 images and then a few days later our FULL GALLERY!! It left me SPEECHLESS & how quickly she sent them & how beautiful they were! Nikki made me feel beautiful from every angle- she captured so many great memories and was so patient with our family & friends, It was no surprise everyone loved her!! I just selected my preferred images for editing and honestly cannot even imagine how much more I will love then when i’m already so obsessed with the originals. Nikki has been the best investment! If you need a photographer that will make you feel beautiful, be patient with family & friends & make your not-so thrilled to be photographed significant other look like he’s happy to be photographed then Nikki is the answer- any occasion- Nikki is the answer. I am so glad I discovered Nikki, she is a true gem we all need a photographer & a friend like her when we want to capture life’s most beautiful moments! We can’t wait to find another reason to book her!
We love you Nikki!! 🤍 -

Our wedding photographer, Nikki, was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she made everything so easy and stress-free. She’s incredibly personable and has this amazing way of getting everyone’s attention for photos, even the babies! Everyone felt comfortable and happy, which made our pictures look natural and joyful.
Nikki is extremely organized and has her own timeline for family photos, which kept everything running smoothly on the big day. She’s professional, but also feels like your best friend, so you can relax and truly enjoy the moment while she captures it all.
We love Nikki so much and can honestly see her being our lifelong photographer. She captured every detail of our wedding perfectly, and the photos will be memories we treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone who’s talented, organized, and makes the whole experience fun and personal, She is absolutely the one! -

Say YES to the photographer
Nikki was a rockstar! I hired her for my 2023 wedding and she did not disappoint. Her photos brought back all the feels. On the day of, she was attentive and extremely professional. And the best hype women. I also appreciated the fact she offers a first responder discount. I highly recommend Nikki for your next shoot/ event! 10/10 -

Nikki is the best!!!
Nikki was the best photographer we could have asked for to capture our wedding day!
From booking with her to actually spending our wedding day with her, she was so kind and just so easy to work with.
She captured the best day of our lives so well and I couldn’t be more in love with our photos.
She even jumped in to help us air out our pampas arrangements since they were getting soaked by the rain, which is so much more than I could have asked for from a photographer! She was truly there to support us throughout the day and we couldn’t be more grateful.
We received some preview photos literally two days after our wedding!!! I was so shocked and so grateful to be able to see some photos so fast after the wedding!
She was seriously the best and I couldn’t recommend booking her more! -

Found our Lifetime Photographer
Nikki is absolutely amazing! She shot our engagement photos, my boudoir session for my husband’s wedding gift, and our wedding. The first time I spoke to Nikki on the phone, we clicked! I chose her as our wedding photographer based on her editing style and now she will be stuck with us for every major life milestone we cross because she is not only a fantastic photographer, but she is fun to be around and so friendly! Literally cannot say enough great things about Nikki! -

Jewel Sent on 09/24/2023Great Photographer!
Nikki was great about getting back to me when I was inquiring about booking her. She did an amazing job with our engagement shoot! Leading up to the event, she was easy to get in contact with, and she even met with me a couple weeks before the wedding to go over day of details and talk about what I wanted for my photos! On the day of, she was on time and knew what she was doing. She was a very calming presence which was great to have around as the day got quickly hectic and sometimes chaotic. From what I’ve seen of my wedding previews so far, I am beyond happy with her photography and so happy I invested in her for our special day! I will have these beautiful photos to look back on for a lifetime! -

Wedding Photographer
Nikki is the best! I found her through instagram and she was very quick to respond and communicate! She was so kind in person on our wedding day and shooting with her felt so comfortable and easy, she got every shot on my list! Our dates changed a few times because of covid but she was flexible and so helpful! Huge bonus is she supports first responders with her pricing! 🇺🇸
Her packages are amazing, we chose the one with the photo album and she customized it well and organized by family friends etc. She is very detailed and SO organized. We now have an album of the best day of our lives that she created for us to hold on to forever.
Nikki was also SO quick to edit our photos as well, we got our entire edited photos back in two days!!
Moral of the story, JUST BOOK HER! -

Total boss babe!
Do yourself a favor and hire Nikki now. She is absolutely amazing! She was the first vendor I hired because I knew we had to have her for our wedding. We purchased her larger package that included engagement pictures and it was the best decision! We loved getting a chance to work with her and become comfortable with her before the wedding.
Nikki is the most professional vendor I have ever worked with. She kept us so grounded and helped us soak up every moment without ever rushing us. After our wedding we had multiple people compliment on her demeanor and how well she kept us on schedule, and of course how sweet and fun she is to be around!
She is truly the whole package for any of your wedding needs and I mean come on… her work speaks for itself ;) GORGEOUS

I hadn't worked with Nikki prior to my wedding day so I was a little bit nervous. She exceeded my expectations and I am so glad we went with her for our big day. I am not a fan of getting my pictures taken but she has a way of making you so comfortable in front of that camera. She was flexible and stayed an additional hour at the last minute. She was fun and energetic. I highly recommend her for your wedding day of you want beautiful photos that will last a lifetime. -

Adrianna Sent on 09/24/2022Pure magic & a dream come true! ♥️
Nikki is beyond incredible!! From the very beginning Nikki was so responsive and answered all of our questions. She made us both feel so comfortable and at ease. She is the absolute sweetest and even took it upon herself to go above and beyond and helped plan & put up decorations just before our intimate ceremony. My husband and I wanted a sunset ceremony and Nikki timed everything perfectly and made it happen! She is so professional but also very personable and made us feel like long time friends.
She was kind enough to send us sneak peeks just a few days after our ceremony!!! Nikki provided the link to original photos sooner than we even thought possible and we received the magical edited photos within a couple of days of us submitting our favorites which was the absolute icing on the cake!!
Nikki is truly the very best and exceeded all of our expectations!!! We have found our photographer for life and we can’t wait to see what magic she creates for our anniversary shoot. She is the sweetest and kindest person who takes pride in her work and invests in clients.
My biggest request for our wedding day was to have photos that I could always look back on and Nikki made my dream come true. I look at my photos every. single. day. and I just can’t thank Nikki enough.
Book Nikki!!! She’s the absolute freaking best and she has a heart of gold!!! We loveee her!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ -

Nikki will make all your wedding picture dreams come true. Coming from a person who normally hates photos, Nikki ended up blowing me away with how many incredible photos she captured that I LOVE from our special day. We have gotten so many compliments on how gorgeous the photos came out. I honestly believe she was one of our best vendor picks hands down. She’s friendly, attentive, reliable, and her turn around is QUICK!! She goes above and beyond and we can’t wait to use her for family photos in the future. P.S. she also love fur babies which is a plus for our family! -

Nikki is amazing, I love how she captures life’s happiest moments! I recommend her for all occasions. I think it’s really neat how she does her research on different poses for the couples to do and gets so passionate when in a session. It totally makes it fun. Communication is great and entire experience. My husband and I have been using her for a couple years now and are so happy. Her pictures come back in a quick time! If you are thinking of booking with her, DO IT! -

I met Nikki when she photographed my best friends wedding. Ever since then, I knew she had to be my photographer! She is so sweet and goes above and beyond for her clients. Aside from her phenomenal photographs, she makes you feel like you’re just good friends, having fun and taking photos together. She’s reasonably priced and even traveled from California to Arizona for me. I cannot thank her enough!! From weddings to maternity to couples, she does basically everything! Cannot recommend her enough!! -

Nikki is the best. The second we met she made us feel like friends, by the time the ceremony was over, we were family. This girl will exceed your expectations, she’ll make you feel comfortable, she’ll make you laugh, she’s everything you want in a photographer. She takes the time to get to know all of the details, and she captures every sweet, emotional, funny and stupid moments every time she turns the camera on. Way worth the money and even more. You won’t be disappointed. -

We were so lucky to have found Nikki! She did our engagement photos and wedding photos. And now we have her do our family photos every year. My friends and family loved her work at our wedding so much that they have now used her for their engagement photos and family photos as well. She is so nice and friendly. She was so good with our daughter (who was 3), she worked with us on whatever we wanted and needed. She even stayed overtime at our wedding to catch every moment. We love her and highly highly recommend her!!!! -

Absolutely amazing.
Nikki was the absolute best! The day of my wedding not only did she show up early and take amazing pictures, but she went above and beyond helping me with my dress and getting things in order. She worked well with the videographers and made my stress of being in front of the camera go away. She captured such beautiful shots, that just by looking at the photographs I relive the day. You won't regret choosing Nikki for your big day! -
