– Additional coverage hours ($150.00/hr): if your day requires multiple locations that we simply cannot fit into an 8 hour day while you’re simultaneously looking for a more budget friendly option, adding on additional continuous coverage hours would be ideal & make the most sense.

– Second photographers ($825.00): I personally feel this is a preference. If you’re looking for time management in a shorter time frame, adding a second photographer from my team would be ideal. A second can also add to the total number of images you’ll receive in your full gallery as well as offer additional perspectives.

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 unless you book my ‘every moment captured’ package for a wedding within the United States. Engagement (& portrait) session travel is handled separately on a case by case basis.

Timeline planning – If your day requires me to travel to multiple locations, I truly see it as you have two options; add a second photographer to your wedding day team - OR - add on additional continuous coverage hours to account for the additional travel time and give me time to document each important space you’re including on your day.

I’m ready when you are! To lock-in on my calendar, I require a 50% non-refundable retainer + a signed contract. I offer 3 payment plan options for you two to choose from,

– Option one, 50% of the total non-refundable retainer; 25% due at the midpoint, 25% due one week prior to event; sneak peeks within 7 days from event

– Option two, 50% of the total non-refundable retainer; 25% due at the midpoint, 25% due one week after event; sneak peeks 7 days after final payment

– Option three, 50% of the total non-refundable retainer; remaining balance split monthly due in full one week prior to event; sneak peeks 7 days after final payment. *The number of payments depends on how far out from event date.

50 images per coverage hour is a perfect rough estimate. For example, the ‘Full Day Wedding Collection’ can expect to have a minimum of 400 images to 800+ in a full gallery. There is never a cap on the maximum number of images as every day is different.

Short answer - Yes. Long answer - 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.

My collections do not come with RAW and/or unedited images. If they 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; however, I am happy to provide RAW files to you at an additional fee of $3,225.00. If you choose to purchase the RAW files, a secondary contract will need to be completed & invoice paid in full before receiving.

“Hiring Nicole was the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only did we get the most incredible photos, but we got someone who truly cared about us, supported us every step of the way, and felt like family by the end of it. If you’re wondering if Nicole is the right fit—the answer is yes.”

You deserve the whole story, and I’d be honored to tell it.
