When I think of a classic wedding day with style, Stephanie & John’s Willow Oaks Country Club Wedding comes to my mind!

Picture a cool but warm and soothing shade of blue. Now imagine it surrounding every detail of your wedding day! My bride and groom had the most delicate shade of blue as the base of their color palette to tell the story of their wedding. You’ll get to see it pop up in the details below, starting with their invitation suite! The same shade was echoed in the bridesmaid’s dresses. It makes another appearance on the ribbons of their bouquets, and even on the walls of the venue!

Stephanie was positively beaming the entire day, and the camera loved her! I love when my brides are so full of contagious joy on the day of their wedding! She wore a trumpet-style wedding dress and accented it with pearl drop earrings, and the most delicate cathedral-length veil trimmed with lace. Her groom, John, wore a sleek royal blue suit. The collar was trimmed in black silk and he paired it with a black bow tie. Together they were the picture of classic wedding day perfection!

Stephanie and John said “I do” on the gorgeous lawn of the Willow Oaks Country Club. They became husband and wife, and each other’s “forever date” with their closest family & friends in attendance to celebrate their love story. Scroll down to see all the details of their Willow Oaks Country Club Wedding!

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!
