Capturing genuine moments as they unfold—nothing forced, Nothing overly posed. Every image reflects the natural connection between couples and their loved ones, with an emphasis on laughter, emotion, and spontaneous beauty. The result is a timeless collection of memories that feel just as real and vibrant as the day itself.

MEET NICKI
Residing in Richmond, but my soul belongs on the sunny California coast.
My passion for enduring love and capturing weddings as a Richmond wedding photographer comes from my faith in Christ. His love has taught me the beauty of imperfection, joy, and the value of family & friends.
With over a decade of experience as a wedding photographer in Richmond VA & Charlottesville, I know how to gently guide you through poses that are natural and beautiful. 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!

the
WEDDING
EXPERIENCE
Your wedding day is about more than just portraits—it’s about people, connection, and the joy of being fully present. I photograph with a timeless, film-inspired style that captures not just how your day looked, but how it felt.
Every moment matters, from quiet details to big celebrations. I document the raw, emotional, and unscripted parts of your day—so you can hug your people, get to cocktail hour, and be right in the heart of it all.
This isn’t just about taking photos. It’s about honoring your story with care and intention, creating space for you to be yourselves, and delivering images that will hold meaning for a lifetime.
"Her talent for capturing moments is pure magic. Every photo tells a story, from the sweet first look with my dad to the breathtaking sunset. "
