Samantha’s Woodland Bridal Portraits turned out to be so much fun. We went smack dab in the middle of the woods for this one. Samantha was barefoot and everything. She was a tough cookie, and made it look easy. I met Sam at an Amanda Hedgepeth Q&A over a year ago (thanks Amanda!). Since then we have done two fun shoots together including an engagement session and this bridal session. The girl is a natural beauty, theres no denying that. We used a vintage dress which was perfect for the setting.  For the bridal shoot we also used a lot of unique flowers – lets be real, I have no clue what the names of them are. All I know was that they were gorgeous! With Sam’s help, the shoot turned out very natural and organic.

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!
