Not just a vendor with a camera

The experience

I get it—choosing a photographer is a lot. You’ve probably got tabs open left and right, bouncing between galleries, reviews, and Pinterest boards, wondering who’s actually going to get you. Here’s the thing: you deserve more than a vendor with a camera—you deserve someone who genuinely gives a damn.

Hello Friend

“Nicole wasn’t just our wedding photographer—she doubled as so much more. Nicole guided us the entire way. I honestly viewed her as my wedding angel.”

I’m not here to just show up as “hired help.” I want to know you. I want to understand what grounds you, what makes you laugh, and who your people are. That’s the root that lets me tell your story truthfully and with heart.

My work thrives in connection.

“Nicole stuck with us through thick and thin and rolled with all the punches without hesitation. We had so many guests come up to us after the wedding to say, ‘Your photographer is just the sweetest person ever!’”

Art isn't Static

Art isn’t static—and neither is the way I photograph. I don’t chase trends or recreate Pinterest boards, because your story deserves so much more than that. My work grows with me, and with every couple I get to serve.

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, while simultaneously enjoy the experimental aspects of editorial photography. I call it, loose documentary with warm true-to-life editing.

“Nicole’s photos aren’t just beautiful—they’re full of emotion. Looking at them takes us right back to how it felt in the moment, not just how it looked. That’s something we’ll treasure forever.”

Everyone has a seat at my table.

Loud and wild, quiet and reserved, traditional, non-traditional, queer, straight, big wedding, tiny elopement, or somewhere beautifully in between—your story matters. In front of my lens, you don’t have to shrink yourself or pretend to be anything you’re not. Just show up as you, and I’ll take care of the rest.

“We felt instant comfort with nicole, like we could just be ourselves. Nicole is the purest soul, and it shines through in everything she does.”

Your Legacy

I know this is a big decision. Choosing someone to document your love means choosing the person who will preserve your memories for generations to come. These aren’t just photos—they’re a piece of your legacy. One day, your family will flip through your gallery and see not just how it looked, but how it felt.

At the end of the day, I want you to trust that your story will be told exactly as it happened—so you can stay present, soak it in, and relive it all over again every single time you look back.

“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.”
