Haley & Matt were absolutely adorable giggling throughout their engagement session in Old Town Alexandria. I have lived in Virginia my whole life and NEVER once have I visited this historic town. Haley and Matt were great to show me around; I saw old colorful houses, a pretty little area by the water and AMAZING food. If it wasn’t for Haley and Matt I never would have ventured up here. Old town Alexandria is IDEAL for an engagement session!
These two met in 2006 as students at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA (woo hoo my college!). These lovebirds began their
 junior year as First Year Orientation Guides, or F.R.O.G.S. as part of the university’s new student orientation. They spent the first week of their junior year together playing ice breaker games, attending required book talks, and (mostly unwillingly) participating in other orientation activities. They ended up falling out of touch for sometime but their story didn’t stop there. While riding the bus home after class Haley and Matt reconnected and discovered that they lived across the street from each other. After a happy birthday Facebook post, and a few texts the cuties decided to go out for Valentines Day. The rest is history. Seven years later these two are engaged. Congrats to you two!

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!
