Stefanie & Chris’ wedding day at the First Colony Winery was absolutely lovely. The mountains, the fresh air, and THE WINE! This memorable day was vibrant, colorful and too much fun! First off – Let me tell you this CRAZY story of how I met Stefanie and how we reunited for her big day. Stefanie was at church alone, checking it out and I offered her to come sit next to Dre and I. After the service we chatted and what not. We knew she was looking for community so we recommended getting involved in a small group and guided her in that direction. Turns out, the SMALL GROUP is where she met Chris!! I never saw Stefanie again at church (I was so sad sad I wanted to hang out with her). Way down the road a mutual friend of a friend came to me and said this girl (Stefanie) was looking for a wedding photographer. I got in contact with her and little did I know it was THAT GIRL . . . that sweet little girl at church who I sat next to. Its so funny how God sets up divine appointments right!? We will never know who he is placing in our lives or vise versa!!! During this journey to their wedding day I got to know Stefanie and Chris and these two are beyond amazing. Their love for the Lord is so vibrant and their light shines brightly! They compliment each other so well and are always living life to the fullest. These two love an adventure and love to be outside. They are the best of friends and are always laughing. I will never forget their engagement session – -snow knee high and we were in the middle of the woods. I look over and  these two were having snowball fight. Adorable right? I KNOW! Thats what marriage is truly about, building off that friendship and growing deeper. I couldn’t be more inspired and happy for these 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!
