Capturing Extraordinary Moments
My belief is that every person should be framed in the moments they’ve felt the most loved and cared for.
YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS,
Your Moment
Your wedding is more than just an event—it’s the celebration of a lifetime, filled with exquisite details, heartfelt moments, and unparalleled beauty. As your photographer, I go beyond simply capturing images; I curate an experience designed for the modern, sophisticated bride who values authenticity, connection, and a seamless journey from start to finish.
With a deep appreciation for meaningful connections, I ensure that every frame reflects the effortless elegance of your love story. My approach is warm yet unobtrusive, allowing you to be fully present while I document the emotions, details, and fleeting moments that define your day.
From the first consultation to the final delivery of your custom-designed heirlooms, my priority is to provide you with an elevated, stress-free experience—because it's not just about the images, but the way you feel throughout the process.
Let’s create something extraordinary together.

“Nikki was great at helping us move, laugh, and look natural on camera. On the wedding day, Nikki was great at directing us, our wedding party, and our families to keep things moving and getting all the pictures we wanted while still having fun.“
Words of Love
“Nikki was so amazing during our event, especially when I was really stressing out. When she was taking our photos, she already knew the best spots around our venue. She was so fun to work with, and she became like family at the end of our event. I can’t thank Nikki enough for being such an important part of our day, and I cannot recommend her enough!!“
Testimonials
“Nikki produced excellent photos thanks to her incredible direction. But besides just her talents with the lens, she made us feel wonderful and like we were the hottest shit there was 🔥. She’s incredibly easy to work with, full of energy in a way that frankly even doesn’t make sense, and a wonderful photographer. Don’t hesitate to contact her! If she’s booked on your wedding day just move it.“

Nikki & Lance
I hired Nikki for my wedding as my photographer, turns out we had also met a friend. We had interviewed others but once we talked to Nikki on that first phone call, it all fell into place. She was this bright, bubbly and funny personality that we needed. We knew we HAD to book with her!
Engagement Session: Nikki and Taylor are so fun and easygoing! They really helped us to feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave us little prompts to get us laughing and dancing and smiling. We of course used those photos for our wedding website, invitations, and also displayed a few at the reception.
Wedding Day: They arrived to my hotel room and went to work QUICK! Nikki had sent us a questionnaire about what photos we wanted, so I felt at ease with her doing her thing and not having to direct anything at all. She was so on top of the timeline of the day, and worked with my planner (House of Love Planning), and videographer. In my head I kept thinking, did you all talk together before today or is it always this seamless on the day of?
Throughout the time we were wedding planning, Nikki touched base with us multiple times to talk about the engagement session, our wedding day timeline, specific photos we wanted, and so much more. She did not leave any stone unturned. It was a blessing to have found her and Taylor and we are so, so lucky to call them friends. RUN, don’t walk, to book with her!! You will be so incredibly happy that you did.

Envision this....
Your story should be shared.
Your wedding has happened. It was beautiful and everything you dreamed it would be. Instead of just downloading your images to your hard drive and sharing a link with your family and friends, you take it a step further and you invested in a family heirloom keepsake that tells the story of the day you began your life together as husband and wife. Your wedding is literally the beginning of your new family unit! Now, try to fast forward even further and envision yourself sitting in your future living room with your future four year old and he/she is asking questions about when you got married. You look at them and say, “Hold on one minute, ok?” and you grab your wedding album. As you flip through the pages, half of the album in your lap and the other half in theirs.... your child notices aunts, uncles and grandparents celebrating with you on your wedding day. If your future child is anything like mine, they will be in awe of these past pictures. When our daughter, Alice, was six years old, I sat down with her and showed her my wedding album for the first time and she flipped through the pages for half an hour, just taking it all in. I had given her a peek into a part of our story that she hadn’t comprehended yet and it was beautiful. Wedding albums are not just for you, they are for those that come after you. A legacy of your love story! What a beautiful gift to hand down to future generations!
Your Photo Gallery will be linked to fine art photo lab for quality prints and albums
Looking forward to hearing from you
Cheers to you!
