There are not enough words to describe how amazing GCP by Nicole Photography was as the photographer for our wedding. Nicole took the time to understand what we were looking for on...
our big day and made sure to document all of our requests. When planning your wedding, there are so many things you just don’t think of. Throughout the planning process, Nicole was always offering suggestions and making sure we didn’t need anything additional leading up to our day. Nicole was meticulously prepared and able to quickly adjust to anything last-minute, including a visit from Vice President Kamala Harris that stopped us dead in our tracks as we prepared for our first look. Nicole took the lead and got all of the group together and back on schedule.
We couldn’t be happier with our final pictures. You can feel Nicole’s positive energy and amazing sense of humor in all our pictures. It was a little warm outside, we had some wrenches thrown at us, and through it all Nicole never stopped making us laugh and keeping the energy positive. She never stopped moving throughout our entire ceremony, dinner, and dancing. She was always checking in with us- seeing if we wanted some additional shots, shared her ideas of what she was going to try and capture, and brought that energy and sense of humor to the dance floor!
GCP by Nicole is the perfect choice for your photography needs. Wedding, engagement, family, special events- Nicole and her team do it all! You will not regret working with her and will treasure the memories she captures for a lifetime!

Gina was a no brainier from the second we met with her. We are almost sad the day is over because we don't get to hang out with her and her husband Tom anymore. I knew from the mom...
ent we started talking about photographer that I wanted two. You miss too many moments with just one photographer and with Gina there is no option for just one, her and her husband are a package deal. What's great about them is that they always work together so they know how each other shoots and works so I know our shots are going to be amazing. We were just at another family wedding this weekend with obviously half of the people there attending our wedding, and we had people come up to us and tell us how cool they thought Gina and Tom were. Their attitude and the way they made both myself and my husband feel relaxed was more than appreciated. They were so creative with pose ideas and locations for pictures as well. Our call the two weeks prior to our wedding, Gina was so detailed and asked so many questions I wouldn't have even thought of.
We can't thank them enough for being a part of our special day!
Gina and Tom are the best! I couldn't be happier with their services. The day went so smoothly and they were so fun to work with. They made sure to capture every single detail of m...
y day and took the time to understand the pictures that were important to me. The pictures are so beautiful!!! Gina is an amazing artist and she did a great job capturing photos in a traditional way as well as in a photo journalistic fashion. She is not only an AMAZING artist but she is a very nice, patient and organized person.
