A Timeless Wedding at The Commonwealth Club of Richmond

Mary & Timmy’s wedding at The Commonwealth Club of Richmond was timeless, elegant, and full of unforgettable details. It was a late fall afternoon when Mary & Timmy wed.

Classic Wedding at Bolling Haxall House in Richmond

This classic wedding day at Bolling Haxall House was fun, lively, and planned with so much intention! The Bolling Haxall House is a grand wedding venue in the heart of Richmond. Originally constructed in 1858, it’s a three-story Italian Villa-style dwelling created out of sandstone-colored stucco. Sounds pretty amazing right? Well, the interior is just […]

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!
