Amber and John’s Kentucky Blue wedding was a hit, and went off without a hitch!!! They had family in from California, Colorado and yep, you guessed it, Kentucky!! These two have a love that goes so deep, and unless your are a University of Kentucky fan, you won’t understand. This sweet couple met at a sports bar and bonded over the love of this school. John graduated from the University of Kentucky, and Amber being from there, of course they were going to have blue at their wedding!!! Although, the first night they met they went their separate ways. After John’s friends (also friends of Amber’s) encouraged him to “go after the girl” he did, and fell head over heels. From that point they were inseparable. Amber had nothing but good things to say about her beautiful wedding. The only thing they both wished they could change was to put a mug under the Kurig that morning, otherwise the day was perfect!!

Amber’s “Something Borrowed” was this beautiful ring she borrowed from her grandmother! Vintage always takes the win!

HI SUNSHINE!

I'M NICKI

I see the beauty in imperfect things. As a Christ-follower, faith is central to my life, work, and connections. I am fueled by joy, known for my bubbly and sunny disposition, and always with a warm hug. Imperfect beauty inspires my love for all things vintage, abstract art, and real love stories. I love moments full of grit and emotion; life off the beaten path; stunning views along the shore; and the juxtaposition of New York grunge and laid back Cali-vibe. 

As a mother of two, I am very familiar with how quickly life’s most important moments fly by too quickly. I will calmly and seamlessly guide you through frames that will endure. I strive to capture your memories with one-of-a-kind images full of meaning. I cannot wait to connect with you! 

I bring all of these elements to my time with my couples. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I know how to gently guide you through poses that are natural and beautiful. The transition into this sentence doesn’t make sense. Throughout your day, you will feel the love from those there to celebrate
 you two. 
When I’m not photographing weddings, I enjoy long walks in the neighborhood with my husband, my kiddos Tuxie and Sunny, and my labradoodle Hokie.. Also, I am a huge dog-lover! I’m pretty sure heaven is full of dogs. I can’t wait to connect with you, and yes, your pup is always welcome here!
