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. -Applies to 6+hour Collections only
SECOND SHOOTER
Having a second photographer at your wedding can truly elevate your special day and capture moments that may have otherwise been missed.
A second photographer can bring immense value to your wedding day. From expanded coverage, diverse perspectives, capturing candid moments, managing multiple locations, to providing backup and assurance, their presence ensures that your special day is beautifully documented from every angle.
Same day SNEAK PEEKS
I love giving my Couples sneak peeks. It's like an adrenaline rush for you and for me.
I work hard to give you same day sneak peeks because I know how happy the images will make you and I also know how much you will want to share your special moments of the day with friends and family. I send them straight to your phone that night so that you can do just that!
-If adequate wifi is not available at your reception site then I will send the sneak peeks to you in an on-line gallery within 24hours.
BRIDAL Guide & Engagement GUIDE
I have compiled a comprehensive bridal guide that includes everything you need to know about planning your perfect wedding day. From selecting a venue and vendors, to creating a timeline. This guide will provide you with all the information, tips, and resources you need to make your wedding day perfect.
ALL CULLED HAND EDITED HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGES
Each image is adjusted to make colors true-to-life while giving them a light and bright romantic feel. All images are adjusted for sharpness and clarity. If you see a beautiful blurry image it is because I love the look and feel of the image and it is my artistic eyes passion to give you the expected and unexpected. You will have the rights to all images and be able to use them for whatever projects you have in mind, whether it be an album, a matted framed print or canvas. The quality of images will be perfect for printing and sharing on your social media.
PERSONALIZED ONLINE GALLERY AND STORE
Any time I can take stress off of my Couples shoulders I will.

MY PROMISE
I KNOW HOW TO GIVE YOU GREAT IMAGES ...
My attention to detail is unwavering. I focus on capturing the little things that make each wedding unique – the intricate lace on the bride's gown, the tears of joy in the groom's eyes, the laughter shared between family and friends. These details tell a story, and I am committed to preserving every chapter.
What does a wedding day look like?
On your wedding day I am there, capturing every precious moment. With my camera in hand, I stealthily move around, ensuring that I capture the essence of your love story.
As you begin to get ready for the day, you finish your make-up & hang with your girls, nerves and excitement intertwine... I capture the intimate details of your routine. The gentle brushing of hair, your delicate jewelry, your dress details and the meticulous fastening of buttons and ties, for the groom. Each moment tells its own story, a beautiful prelude to the grand celebration that awaits.
In the midst of the bustling preparations, I find moments of stillness, capturing the quiet reflection in your eyes. I know that these moments will fade quickly, so I strive to freeze them in time, giving you a glimpse of the love and anticipation that radiates from your hearts.
As you slip into your wedding attire, I capture the tender moments shared with loved ones. The tears that well up in your mother's eyes as she helps you into your dress, the proud smile on your father's face as he adjusts your tie, and the laughter shared with your closest friends as they surround you with love.
As you step into the ceremony venue, I capture the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings. The vibrant colors, the delicate flowers, and the soft glow of candles that create an atmosphere of enchantment. These details, meticulously planned for months, are now transformed into a real-life fairytale.
Throughout the ceremony, I capture the unspoken vows exchanged through heartfelt glances. The joyous tears, the heartwarming smiles, and the overwhelming emotions that fill the room. These are the moments that make your love story unique, and I am privileged to be a witness to them.
After the ceremony, I whisk you away to a secluded spot, away from the prying eyes of guests, to capture the first moments of wedded bliss. The stolen kisses, the whispered promises, and the shared laughter become the foundation of your forever.
As the day unfolds, I capture the candid moments, the stolen smiles, and the uninhibited joy that envelopes you and your loved ones. From the heartfelt speeches to the energetic dancing, I am there, preserving these fleeting memories for you to relive and cherish for a lifetime.
And when the day draws to a close, as the sun dips below the horizon, I present you with a sneak peek of the magic we created together. A collection of images that reflect the love, beauty, and happiness that filled your wedding day. These sneak peeks are a reminder of the love that surrounds you, and a testament to the beginning of your forever.
So take a deep breath. Trust that I am here, capturing every precious detail, so you can fully immerse yourself in the joy of the day.
I BECOME A FRIEND
This is what you need to know...
On the wedding day itself, I am more than just a photographer. I become a friend, a confidant, and a supporter. I create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making you and your loved ones feel comfortable and at ease.
I capture not only the traditional moments but also the candid, spontaneous ones that truly reflect the genuine emotions of the day.
Capturing the essence of the couple's love story is what I do.
I believe that photography is not just about clicking a button, but about creating timeless memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

LEGACY ALBUMS
Envision this....
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 legacy 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 ours, they will be in awe of these old pictures. When our daughter, Alice, was six years old, I sat down with her and showed her our wedding album for the first time and she flipped through the pages for half an hour, just taking it all in. It was as if I had given her a peek into a part of our story that she hadn’t comprehended yet and it was beautiful. Legacy albums aren’t for you, they are for those that come after you. What a beautiful gift to hand down to future generations!

FAQ
What is your shooting style?
I love being both interactive and discrete throughout the wedding day. There will be parts of the wedding day when I will need to be in control in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done in order to keep everyone on schedule. There will also be moments when you shouldn’t even know that I’m there. (The ceremony, during dances and toasts, etc.) We teach our couples how to pose and interact during their engagement session so they are naturals on the wedding day and don’t need quite as much instruction from us!
engagement travel?
I am more than willing to travel for engagement sessions! We actually love it when our couples ask us to photograph them in a location that means something special to them! We book engagement sessions typically three to six months in advance and include 60 miles of travel. Travel beyond 60 miles is available with an included $1.00/mile travel fee.
HOW MANY IMAGES CAN I EXPECT?
We average 75-100 final images per hour that we're actively shooting throughout the day. We love delivering our client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery. You will have the ability to print, share and download your images as much as you want. We believe in freely sharing our work because that is what we would want if we were in your shoes!
Can I take out the second shooter from a package for a discounted rate?
No, becasue I already love you and I know that having a person to not only get different angles but capture detail shots and fun moments with your guests while we are away at sunset. A second shooter makes all the difference in the world when it comes down to time management, because we all know that even the best of plans change. If you have to run tight on time un-expectantly, a second shooter will give you breathing room to still make sure all of the special aspects that you took so much time and care in planning for are still captured, no matter the time conflicts that might arise.... you will thank me, I promise!
What is your best tip for great pictures?
You and your partner will be smiling and adoring one another the entire time! Which makes it so easy for me to capture your love... but many couples forget to talk to their bridal party about smiling and being aware of their reactions. When I am getting beautiful couple shots during the ceremony the bridal party's faces can make or tragically detract from the special moment.
