Am I Your Photographer?
I want you to love your images - first and foremost. These images will outlast us all; with future generations peeking through their family history and admiring your memories that helped to lay the foundation for them to make their own. Selecting the right photographer to help document your memories is so important for this reason.
When you’re on the hunt for the ‘right fit’, I have a few things you should look for (speaking as a professional and from my own experiences - because I’ve been where you are):
Editing style - warm, vibrant, crisp, true to life, edgy, moody, bright, film-like, nostalgic
Posing style - candid, documentary, editorial, experimental, lifestyle, and a good combo of all the above
Do you connect with them on a personal level?
Am I the right fit for you? Read here.
Do you travel?
Yes, yes, and yes. I’ve traveled with my couples all across the United States in years past. From the Midwest's cornfields, the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, hiking through Ohio's Hocking Hills, Martha's Vineyard and various spots on the East Coast, and ventured through Denver and its surrounding areas. Wherever your love is the loudest - I’m there!
All of my traveling weddings receive a custom proposal including all travel (mileage, fuel, hotel or accommodations, flights, rental vehicle, transportation, food, baggage fees, parking fees, and other related expenses, if applicable), and then I complete all of the booking for my own travel to take it off your plate.
Travel fees are location-dependent and determined on a case by case basis.
Are pets allowed?
YES. YES x10000. Voted most likely to die from petting something I knew I shouldn’t have.
How many images can we expect?
50 images per coverage hour is a perfect rough estimate. For example, the ‘All Day Wedding Collection’ can expect to have a total of 400 images minimum to 500+ in a full gallery. There is never a cap on the maximum number of images as every day is different.
Will my photographer always be Nicole?
I thrive in a team atmosphere inspired by friendship. Networking and collaboration within the photography industry helps to add creative flair as well insurance in the event I am unable to attend your big day. My team members may sometimes be along for the entirety of the ride (from booking date to wedding day), while other times they may hop in the rare case of an emergency. My team members are hand selected by me to seamlessly mesh with my brand & style of photography. In the event an associate photographer has to step in, I can assure you, you’re in amazing hands. Not to mention, I won’t be out of the loop at any point in time as I will still be here to handle all of the pre & post processing. The perks are - you gain an extra (or 2) creatives to brainstorm ideas, bring additional talent to the table, and even more friends to share in this journey.
Does NKP deliver RAW images?
I do not give out RAW and/or unedited images. If I did, it'd be like serving you a piece of raw chicken - unfinished & 100% not up to my standards. Be sure to check your contract for additional details.
What is NKP's photography style?
First and foremost, I’m an artist in this profession. I’ve spent 10+ years practicing, educating, and growing as a professional and artist in terms of the technicalities of photography as well as the behind the scenes post-processing and editing.
My style is ever-evolving as I grow and experience new opportunities; however, I always gravitate to a posing style that is hyper focused on the natural, raw, authentic interactions & movement in each love story. I love a good snuggly and candid vibe and am focused on welcoming you as you are so I can document the good stuff in your own unique love story. I call it, documentary led with warm true-to-life editing.
Do you have an off season for portrait sessions?
I do not have an off season in full. Memories never stop - and I don’t want to miss them; however, I do have limited availability from November - February. This is my time with family so I can pour from a full cup when the busier season kicks in. Thank you for understanding! I highly recommend locking in your session date between 3-6 months in advance.

"I have known Nicole for many years now and first and foremost, she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her kindness radiates in every room she is in! When my now husband and I got engaged back in 2023, there was not a doubt or question in my mind who I wanted as our wedding photographer; Nicole Kilday!!!!! Prior to getting engaged, I would be on Instagram and Facebook truly just waiting for new sets of wedding photos from her to be posted on her professional pages. The candidness and realness of her photos were beyond beautiful and awe-filled. I knew that when I looked back on my future wedding photos, I wanted them to be real life moments that I could go back in time and look at through photos, and truly remember exactly how it felt to be in that moment. To make a long point short, Nicole’s art is the epitome of life, love, candidness, and real moments captured. On top of allllll of that, being in Nicole’s presence truly gave me a sense of calm and reassurance. I remember being so unbelievably calm the morning of my wedding, and I truly think I have Nicole to thank for alot of that. Whether you have known her for years or you are meeting her for the first time on your wedding day, I guarantee she will make you feel like you have someone in your corner to guide you and support you in any way possible throughout your wedding planning journey and day. Nicole is truly one of a kind, and I don’t say that lightly. She is passionate about what she does, and it is undoubtedly evident through the beautiful work she creates."
Moira & Colton
"Nicole is the literal BEST there is. She does it all & has the best personality. She’s not only your photographer, she’s also your go to for a last minute grocery store run when you forget something on your big day, the one to find a whole new location for photos when your original is under a severe weather watch, & your hype woman no matter what. Her skills are top tier & there is truly no one like her. If you’re looking for a fun, on the dance floor & also crying with you photographer - she’s your girl. Cannot wait for her to capture more of our life’s memories!"
Samantha & Mitch
"Nicole shot our engagement photos in 2019, our wedding in 2020, my maternity photos in 2021, and our family pictures in 2022. Nicole is amazing in every session and season in life. She’s not only your insanely talented photographer but a therapist, a guide, a treasure in every step of your journey. She’s easy to get a long with, relatable and just a wonderful human in every way. We love her dearly and recommend her to everyone."
Carly & Matt
“We honestly can’t say enough good things about our wedding photographer. Believe it or not it was the first time I met Nicole and it felt like having a close friend around, not just someone there to take pictures. Nicole made being in front of the camera natural and fun. We were laughing, relaxed, and just genuinely happy. Of course our photos most definitely reflect that. Every moment she captured feels real, not staged, and looking back at them brings us right back to how the day felt.
If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also a blast to be around on your big day, this is your person. We’re beyond grateful.”
Dan & Breanne
“Thank you so much for capturing every special moment on our wedding day. The day was so busy that if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t remember half of it! Beautifully done! I can’t stop looking at them!
And also, my whole family was talking about how great you were! My nana especially haha. You are so much more than a photographer! And anyone who gets the change to work with you will see that and appreciate it so much!”
Taylor & Zach
“Nicole I’m speechless and crying at your photos. They are so perfect. You absolutely nailed it. I have chills! I just wanted to tell you how much we love them and everyone keeps giving me compliments. They are honestly better than I could have imagined Nicole!”
Erin & Justin
“Nicole, I don’t even know where to begin. I am not a cryer, but I am crying at work. These are so beautiful, I can’t thank you enough. We picked the best team on the planet to capture our wedding!!! Again, thank you!!! If ANYONE asks for a recommendation, only your business will come out of my mouth. Even if people don’t ask for it, haha.”
Tori & Cory
“Nicole was amazing!!!! Her and her second photographer were sweet and helpful from start to finish of this process! She eased my nerves and truly had my back. She treated me as a friend instead of just another client and it meant the world!! She went above and beyond by making sure I had enough to eat and drink throughout the day as well! She made sure on our rainy wedding day to have umbrellas (I forgot them) in order to make sure pictures happened as they should! Not sure what I would have done without her! The photos turned out amazing and she took care of every little thing I had concerns about to truly make sure I was happy! If I had to do it again.. I’d book her no doubt! My husband and I both love her.”
Tory & Brett
“Nicole is a dream of a human to work with. She is easy going, intuitive, and truly an artist. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to capture me and my man the way she did. 11/10 recommend."
