"I can't say enough good things about Nicole! She was fun to work with and made us feel so comfortable. She was great with directing but also capturing the moment. She captured raw emotion and feelings. I get to relive my day through these photos. She was also the easiest person to work with. Thank you again Nicole! We will cherish these photos forever!
"If I could give her 100/5 stars I would!"
Investments are customized to meet your needs — beginning at $7,000
Working with a select number of couples allows me to be fully invested in each story I document.
I value clear communication, a calm presence, and an experience that feels seamless from start to finish. You're not just another wedding on the calendar - your story is approached with care, attention, and intention.
A personal, refined experience
I approach your day with balance of direction and intuition - stepping in when needed while allowing real moments to unfold naturally.
My goal is for you to feel comfortable, confident, and fully present - never over posed, never rushed. The result is imagery that feels elevated, intentional, and true to you.
Effortless, editorial guidance
Your wedding isn't one size fit all - your photographer shouldn't be either.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year to create a fully personalized experience, designed around you, your vision, and how your day naturally unfolds.
From our first conversation, I take the time to understand what matters most to you - then thoughtfully curate a custom proposal that reflects your priorities and aesthetic.
Most of my couples invest an average of $9,500+ for full wedding day coverage.
