Boonetown Story

Nicole is an artist and the best human! <3 Look no further, you have found the perfect photographer for your wedding day!!! We booked Nicole for our wedding photos on 03 November and we are so glad we did. The photos turned out stunningly and we have already received so many compliments from family and friends. From the very first phone call we felt that we were in good hands. She even drove an hour to meet with us a couple months before the wedding. We will never forget this lovely evening with her. Nicole is such a fun person and at the same time has such a calm demeanour which is so important because we never felt rushed or stressed throughout our wedding day. Posing doesn’t come naturally for me but Nicole made me feel like it did - directing us to do things naturally and without looking posed or stiff. We really adore every single photo of our wedding gallery. They capture all the feelings we felt on that special day. Nicole was present throughout the entire day but it never felt like she was in your face with her camera. We barely even realised that we had photos taken - so many of our family members and friends commented on that. It also shows in the photos: we have so many beautiful candid shots of friends, family, and ourselves that we adore. Nicole, thank you so much for being there with us on this beautiful day and for capturing all these beautiful moments, especially the little moments, which are the big ones! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!

Nicole is so incredibly talented! Her pictures are gorgeous and natural, and she really creates an environment that allows you to feel comfortable and have fun. We used Nicole for engagement and wedding photos, and they came out beautifully! There are so many elements that Nicole captured that were purely because she has a gift. She's one of a kind, professional, and someone who you'll easily connect with. We loved spending the entire day with her on our wedding day, and laughed and smiled all the way through our engagement photos. THANK YOU A TON Nicole for sharing your gift with us, and for capturing all of the special moments we'll look back on for years to come. We love you!

We had Nicole for our engagement pictures, we decided when we got them back that she was definitely who we wanted. The most common compliment I have received on our wedding pictures were "They belong in a magazine". Very talented, efficient in getting the family shots done. We requested we had a "camp style" picture done of everyone that attended, she was perfect at getting everyone together and getting the shot. Patrick, my husband, and I cannot say enough good things about Nicole!

I can't say enough great things about Boonetown Story and our wedding/engagement pictures. From the moment we spoke to Nicole over the phone, we felt very comfortable with her being our photographer for the big day. We had put many months of planning into our event and we wanted someone who could perfectly capture this. Nicole and her assistant worked with us throughout the entire process to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful!! I was really breathless when I saw how good they turned out. Her style of photographer really matched our rustic theme, even though it rained all day. She gave recommendations on photo locations, lighting, and positioning that really showed in the final pictures. Her knowledge and experience in photography is evident in everything she does. I would recommend Nicole and Boonetown Story to anyone who wants their memories photographed!

Nicole and her assistant, Jenny, were wonderful photographers to work with. I used to have a darkroom in my attic as a kid, so needless to say I interviewed quite a few (6+) very talented photographers. Ultimately, we went with Nicole because we loved her work, were comfortable with her personally, and professionally she does a phenomenal job of capturing the emotion of the day. When you look at your pictures with your grandchildren, what more do you want them to see than how much grandma and grandpa loved each other? We did a package including engagement session, bridals and 8 hours on the wedding day. The engagement session pictures were beautiful - everyone commented how in love and natural my husband and I looked in them. My husband hates having his picture taken, so it was a very big deal to find people who could not only put him at ease, but even have him laughing and enjoying the day. The bridals were equally wonderful, and I was so happy to get them back. I'm now just waiting on the final images from the big day, but have no concerns based on the beautiful images they captured in the prior two sessions. Unquestionably, I would recommend Alively to anyone looking for artfully done, natural photos that really tell a story, and someone to bring more fun and laughter to any day. My husband and I will definitely plan to work with them again for any future needs!

excellent! Attention to detail. So easy to work with! I can't say enough about how amazing she is. Would highly recommend her! Felt like we were buddies by the time the process was over. Love the pics!

Nicole was so helpful through the whole process of finding a photographer. She really cared about us as a couple and wanted to know about us and our lives as a couple- she sent us a "get to know you" survey for both of us to get an idea of our style and what we liked. She was incredibly flexible with our package and the pricing and we thought she was so affordable compared to some photographers that charge an arm and a leg. The day of the wedding she was on-time, creative and very sweet- we loved her manner and thought she was so easy to work with. We haven't gotten our pictures back but we have seen some teasers and they are amazing! We know from her work on her blog and from a friend we know that had her as their photographer for their wedding that her work is exceptional. We can't wait to see the pictures and know they will be amazing!

I am so glad I choose Alively Photography to capture all the memories on our wedding day. Nicole is such an awesome, creative and laid-back person who made me feel completely relaxed. I love all my photos!

I would highly recommend Alively Photography to any bride! Nicole was such a pleasure to work with, she is fun as well as a calming presence in the midst of such a busy day. We had great communication up to the day and she really sought to know our style as a couple and reflected that the shots. She has a great eye and we absolutely love all of our photos! I would definitely hire Alively photography again, without question!

Nicole is great to work with. By the end of my wedding I think my mom wanted to adopt her as a second daughter! She made me feel super comfortable during my bridal shoot (which can be awkward) and really captured our personalities in the wedding day shoot. She's great!

Nicole is a great fun loving person so to have her be involved in your wedding is a joy. She is amazing at catching those little moments. She also has the ability to balance a group for those traditional photos. We have already booked her for my sisters wedding and I tell everyone I meet who is newly engaged about her.
