This is an easy no stress conversation to see what you are looking for and if I am the right person to give it to you. I will walk you through my process and answer any questions you may have. If it seems like a good match, we can pull out our calendars and get your date on the books right then and there - no back and forth emails, no trying to decipher a confusing price sheet. I want to make this super comfortable for you! I have found that phone calls are the quickest, easiest, best way to get the ball rolling.

What is included in the Nikki Hildebrand
Wedding Experience and Why?
I have structured my wedding experience very intentionally. Everything I offer and recommend is a strategic part of an overall experience that leads to what my Couples ultimately desire: genuine, timeless and joyful images. The most intentional aspects of a Nikki Hildebrand Wedding Experience include:
8 HOURS IS BEST
I have found that for a traditional wedding day, I need a minimum of 8 hours to capture the full story of your day with a stress-free timeline. Perfect for capturing the important moments of your special day while giving you the freedom to choose the best moments of the day that you would like to capture. The Prized Wedding Experience lets you focus on the beautiful details of the day that are important to you and your partner.
COMPLEMENTARY ENGAGEMENT SESSON
This is a great way for us to get to know each other and to help you feel more relaxed and confident in front of the camera on the day of. When it comes to your wedding photos our relationship is key to you having amazing photographs to cherish. Spending more time together helps enhance that. In the process, we get to capture some beautiful photos that you can look back on for years to come and maybe use for your announcements or invitations.
SECOND SHOOTER
Taylor is a part of the Nikki Hildebrand wedding experience! Groomsmen rave about his effortless ability to make everyone feel at ease and comfortable. The Nikki Hildebrand Wedding Experience wouldn't be complete without him! He captures the angels and moments going on around you that I can not, while I am focused on you.
SNEAK PEEKS
I love giving my Couples sneak peeks. I send them an email within 24-48 hours letting them know their sneak peeks are in their gallery and ready to view. I also create a reel on instagram for my Couples to share with friends and family.

This guide will provide you with all the information, tips, and resources you need to make your wedding day perfect.
