    Fantastic experience!

    Nicole photographed our wedding in October of 2023 in DC. She was wonderful to work with from start to finish. From our initial phone call, to engagement photos, to the wedding day, she had such a friendly, upbeat, helpful, and reassuring attitude - which is something you really want on your wedding day, when you're going to spend the majority of the day with your photographer! We got many compliments from family and friends on her attitude and ability to manage timelines and personalities throughout the day. She made our wedding day as easy and stress free as it could have possibly been.
    And of course, the photos!! Nicole is incredibly talented. We knew we wanted someone whose style wasn't so 'cookie cutter' - we felt like a lot of photographers in the area showcased the same poses and vibes for every wedding, while Nicole had a unique approach to creating photos that felt very personal but were still timeless. This absolutely ended up being the case with our photos - we love the whole gallery and not only did we get great photos of the two of us, we have such amazing candid photos of family and friends that we will cherish. Hire Nicole, you will not regret it!

    Hands down the best!!

    We can't say enough great things about our experience working with Nicole. No doubt she is one of the best in the business. Working with her was wonderful. She's professional, responsive, flexible, and always knows how to bring out the best in anyone she works with. Not to mention her photography is grade A! To top it off she left us with a wonderful wedding gift. A beautiful polaroid photo book of our wedding weekend celebration. I will recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. We now call her a friend!

    June 2021 Wedding - Cincinnati

    Nicole is the most creative, fun and thoughtful photographer out there! We found Nicole after she photographed a family-friend's wedding and we knew right away she was going to create the most beautiful photos for us. She kept in touch throughout the whole planning process and worked with me and my planner leading up to the day. Day-of, Nicole caught the most incredible, raw and organic moments. Moments of us, our family members and friends. So many photos of genuine smiles, laughter and love. Her editing style is unlike anything I'd seen before, which drew me to her photos even more -- whimsical, dreamy and so much detail. We are forever grateful for the photos we have from the best day of our lives, all thanks to Nicole - the best of the best!!

    More than an AMAZING Photographer - A friend to share your wedding day with

    I am not even sure where to start when it comes to Nicole. It was her gorgeous light, airy, and natural photography style that attracted me to her, and her personality and friendliness is what closed the deal. From the very first phone consultation that I had with her, I knew that we had instant chemistry and that she was the person we wanted to capture our wedding day. She was friendly, she wanted to know our story, and most importantly, she cared about what we wanted to capture on our special day..

    When the pandemic hit, she was one of the first vendors to reach out to me and make sure I was doing okay. She was available instantly when I needed to check availability for new postponement dates. Her flexibility and humanity during that difficult time was incredible. This is when I knew she would be more than a photographer, but a friend.

    The only fear I ever had was not hiring a local Chicago photographer, but that fear was put instantly to rest. Nicole (although she has photographed Chicago before) insisted on coming to Chicago ahead of time and photo scouting the city with us to make sure we had the perfect plan. It gave me such reassurance to have this plan ahead of time.

    When the wedding weekend came, Nicole was perfectly professional and captured every possible moment I could have asked for. You could tell she really listened to us and made sure all of our requests were captured. Her second shooter was just as incredible. By the end of the night, she really went above and beyond in countless ways to make sure our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of.

    When the photos came above 5 weeks after the wedding, I was completely speechless and blown away. My wedding photos literally look like the cover of a magazine and I can't believe how well she captured our day. I have had friends, family, brands, and even strangers reach out and tell me how incredible my photos are. Every time I look at my album I am finding new favorites - and I feel like that is rare.

    I could go on forever about Nicole, but overall my advice is this - BOOK HER. You will NOT regret it. Photography is one of the TOP most important pieces of your wedding day. Make sure your make the best decision like I did.

    Nicole is by far the BEST photographer I have EVER worked with. I've been a bridesmaid many times and seen many of my friends get married and never heard them rave about their photographer like I, and the friends who introduced me to Nicole, have. As a photographer, she needs to be friendly, make you feel relaxed and comfortable, but also direct you. Nicole is all that and more.

    Nicole did our engagement session as well as our wedding. The quality of our photos is just beyond any other photographers. The lighting she captures within the photo is just absolutely gorgeous. She also did an amazing job capturing the laughter and the tears at the wedding. It's those special moments that you want to look back on in the photos, and she did just that. The best decision I made for the wedding was to hire Nicole. The turn around for the photos were quick. She was responsive to all of my annoying emails. And above all of that, my wedding coordinator loved her for being so easy to work with! Nicole's beautiful photography is worth the investment. These are the photos you will share with all of your family and friends and for generations to come.

    Words cannot describe Nicole's talent and artistic ability. She photographed our engagement and wedding photos, and I'm beyond thrilled! The day of the wedding she was climbing on a mantle (to photograph my dress of course), reassuring me that everything was going to be ok when things were taking longer, fixing my dress, organizing everyone, collaborating with the other vendors, and overall made our day more special. She has an amazing way with others and captures priceless moments. The ideas just flow through her and I'm always in awe of her creativity.
    On another note, she looks really awesome with her tomb raider looking camera strap! Nicole, thanks a million for providing us with tangible memories that we can have for a lifetime heart emoticon
    I would super highly recommend her to anyone needing any photos!
