About this vendor
Your wedding photography should be fun and add to your experience on the big day, never take you away from it. That’s why at Images by Nic, the goal is to keep you in the moment, fully living in and enjoying every moment.
The sweet taste of your morning mimosa. The feel of your parents arms holding you tight in your wedding clothes. The full body chills seeing your spouse on your first day of forever. The anxious excitement as you come down the aisle. The sound of your besties laughing by your side and pumping you up all day long. The pure joy of ripping up the dance floor with all of your favorite people.
These moments are fleeting. These feelings fade quickly. Hire a photographer who will capture all of it so you can relive it all long after the clock hits midnight (or 2 a.m.!)
Images by Nic is all about ensuring you have the time of your life on your wedding day. She’ll capture every moment just as you remember it and prioritize you being comfortable and having a great freaking time all day long. Your photos are only beautiful if the moments are, too.
That means getting to know you on a deeper level so she can really bring our your sweet, sentimental, goofy or wild side on the big day. It means directing you to interact in front of the camera, and less of the stuff, uncomfy posing. It means a wedding photography experience tailored to you, and dedicated to making sure you have the time of your life, because that’s where the best pictures come from too!

My husband and I loved working with Nic. She is friendly, funny, and very sweet. Neither of us are super comfortable in front of the camera but she helped us relax and feel more ou...
rselves in our photos. She was flexible with us wanting photos at a park in addition to our venue and she found some really cool spots around our venue that resulted in some of our favorite photos. Overall, we were so happy we went with Images by Nic for our big day. The photos she captured are stunning and will be cherished forever. Cannot recommend her enough.
Nic is truly amazing! We couldn’t be happier with the photos and overall experience of working with her. She captured the emotions and little moments of our day so perfectly, and h...
er editing style was absolutely gorgeous paired with our fall colors. We aren’t generally people who love taking photos, but she made the whole process easy and fun. Our families and wedding party loved her too! We wholeheartedly recommend Nic to anyone looking for timeless photos and a stress-free experience.
We found Images by Nic because she was a photographer for a friend’s wedding as well as a preferred vendor at our venue. We knew Nic was the one when she sent us a personalized vid...
eo answering some brief questions that we had while inquiring on her website. Nic is everything we could have dreamed of... personable, kind, outgoing, and professional. She takes her job as a photographer seriously. From the moment of booking her for our engagement and wedding photos, she was there to answer any questions and give the best advice! We were in awe of our engagement photos and didn’t think she could top them, but our wedding sneak-peeks were fantastic. They captured my wife and I perfectly! She is a true master at her work and if I had to do it all over again, we would still hire Nic! We can’t wait for more major life events for her to be able to capture our most memorable moments.
10/10- would definitely use again!
Nicole, I truly do not even know where to begin. You made our day a dream and because of you we get to relieve that day over and over again with your images. It was almost as if Ly...
le and I had our best friend behind the camera on our wedding day (which we kind of did 😉). You make it so easy to just be ourselves! Also and added bonus was that you took our sarcastic wedding party so well (they’re not always and easy group 🤣)! We love you, Nicole! Can’t wait to continue using you as our forever photographer 🤍
We found Nicole from the list of “preferred vendors”from our venue, and knew that we wanted to select someone with a lot of experience at our venue or similar ones since the photos...
are really the only thing you get to keep from the wedding. We picked Nic based on her whole vibe and personality. She was exactly what we wanted, and was also super easy to get in touch with. She was super helpful with so many parts of the wedding- from timeline to choosing outfits for our engagement photos to even helping us get suggestions on a last minute day-of- coordinator. We were able to get a package with a second shooter, and Nicole had 40 sneak peek images to us the day after our wedding which all looked amazing!!
Nicole was absolutely wonderful to work with! She did both our engagement photos and wedding photos and they are absolutely breathtaking! I love looking back at both of those days!...
! Highly recommend her!!
Nic is the best photographer there is!!! She is the most personable, professional, and talented artist I have ever met. She has years of experience which offers so many amazing asp...
ects to her work. To explain just a short part of how personable and generous she is, I’ll share a bit about our story. My husband is in the Airforce and was stationed in Washington, D.C. I am from Minnesota and Nic generously flew out to D.C. with me to take our engagement pictures. It was the most perfect experience which included our wedding photos too. Nik showed up early to make sure the details were in place to make the day magical. I can’t put into words just how perfect of a photographer she was for us. I love when people show that customer service experience plus one, and that is Nik to a T. Thank you so much Nik for capturing our love story and making it perfect. We are forever grateful to have such beautiful pictures to always look back on.
When starting the overwhelming task of searching for wedding vendors, I came across Nic's information on a list of preferred vendors through our venue. I submitted the little inqui...
ry form online and Nic, being the sweetheart that she is, responded with a video message introducing herself and offering to help answer any questions we had about her, choosing a wedding photographer, wedding planning, anything. We knew right away that we needed her outgoing, creative and patient nature as part of our day. We had a few video calls, planned our engagement session, which was a great time to be able to meet Nic in person before the wedding day, and finally worked through a timeline that worked for us on our wedding day. The day of, Nic arrived ahead of time to get settled in, choose the best spaces for photos and got comfortable with our group. Photos flew by so painlessly, no forced smiles, no awkward posed shots, just a genuinely wonderful person doing her magic behind the camera. And that magic is real! We have been in awe of our engagement photos and the sneak peeks we have received of our wedding day, Nic is truly talented. I cannot tell you how many of our family and wedding party have told us how much they adored Nic, how patient and fun she was, and that they didn't mind taking photos because she didn't make it feel like a chore. May you all be lucky enough to have someone like Nic with you on your wedding day!
I am not sure where to start with how amazing Nic is. We have worked with her three times (so far) and each has been perfect in every way! Nic is thoughtful, energetic, and talente...
d. She can make even the most non-photogenic couples look adorable and she is wonderful at capturing who you are in her photos. On our wedding day, Nic was professional and cheerful, despite getting caught in a tornado warning on her way to the venue. She made us feel calm and lighthearted during our wedding portraits, making it easier to enjoy the day and take it all in. My entire wedding party and family enjoyed working with her and we would recommend her to anyone in search of a photographer!
If you’re looking to eliminate stress during the planning, embrace the season of engagement, have no worries on your wedding day and capture the day exactly as you vividly remember...
it (and then some) Nic is your gal. The moments she captured are magical. ✨ We are incredibly grateful for Images by Nic and the time she focused on us through her lens creating keepsakes!!!

I had the awesome job of choosing our photographer for our wedding, and I am so glad I chose Nic to capture our day. From the very first consultation, she made us feel comfortable,...
brought so much positive energy, and was professional and knew what she was doing behind the camera. The day of, she came prepared with anything a bride would need, and kept everyone on time and happy throughout the entire day. We would choose her over and over again, and thank you again for capturing our day!!
We loved working with Nicole and it was such an amazing experience. As someone who isn't very comfortable posing on camera and a boyfriend who reluctantly tagged along, Nicole made...
the session seamless.
Nicole was helping pose, give pointers and it felt like a fun hang out which happened to be on camera versus a staged photoshoot. Nicole is very easygoing and personable which makes for a great time.
Not only was the shoot fantastic but she provided us with previews of our pictures a few hours later and had our photo link ready to go ASAP. I loved how the pictures turned out and how she provided a variety of editing styles.
If you're looking for a photographer for fun, an engagement, a wedding, couples or family session - Nicole will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend :)
We worked with Nic for a couples shoot and had the best experience I’ve had with a photographer! What sets Nic apart is that she took the time to get to know our story and what kin...
d of vision we had for the shoot. Nic is super organized and easy-going at the same time, so that in combination with our planning conversations ahead of time really helped the shoot feel relaxed, fun, and natural. I couldn’t recommend working with her enough!
We had Nicole just take a winter shoot series for us, and she's incredible at what she does. Fun, engaging, easy to work with, and flexible! She's got a sharp eye, and makes genuin...
e connection with you—and that makes all the difference between a nice print and a stunning photo!
Nicole has been photographing our family since the very beginning, we have engagement pictures, wedding pictures, baby announcement, fresh 48, new born, and family pictures. We are...
100% planning on having her there for all the big days to come too. She’s so sweet and fun and makes everyone feel comfortable, the whole family is fun and relaxed, even our dogs! I can’t recommend her enough, if you are someone who hates being in front of the camera, give her a chance to change your mind and you won’t be sorry. Finding a photographer to journey with you from the beginning is such a beautiful relationship. We are so thankful to have her by our side every step of the way.
Nic not only met - she exceeded my expectations. I think one thing that I really appreciated about her was that she was genuine. I feel like in the wedding industry that is a rarit...
y.. But very important. She took the time to get a feel for my husband and my story. She focused on what was important to us. Her photos capture emotions and feelings like I have never seen. It takes skill to be a photographer... But nic is more than that. She is an artist who can tell stories w the images she captures. I found her easy to work with and very responsible. I highly recommend her.
Working with Nicole was incredible. Cannot say enough good things about her and the experience she created for me and my family on my wedding day. I am not usually very comfortable...
in front of the camera and she was able to help position me and help me build my confidence to create the most beautiful photos. As a person I am super easy going and gave Nicole complete creative direction and boy did it pay off!!! Every photo she took was absolutely beautiful. she also was so quick with editing and gave me plenty of sneak peaks. I cannot recommend her enough. Choose her as your photographer and you will not be disappointed!
Nicole was so great to work with and her photos always turn out amazing. Will definitely be working with her again soon!
Blackberry Ridge Weddings here!! Nic introduced herself to us in July of 2020 with her first wedding at our location. We were instantly impressed by her sweet, confident and fun pe...
rsonality. After receiving the photo album we knew we had to partner with her for a styled shoot in October of 2020. If you’re looking for someone that captures your true love on your wedding day, she’s your girl!
Nic is amazing, both at her craft, and at being the sweetest human being. She takes shots that most don’t think of to really capture the emotions of the day. She also is great with...
connecting with people, which is sooo very important to have in a photographer.
As a couple who has never gotten photos taken before, we were nervous about what to expect. Nicole was such a welcoming photographer who provided a very memorable experience. Nicol...
e provided the perfect amount of instruction which made us feel confident in what we were doing for the pictures and was so personable that we felt as if we were all hanging out instead of at a photo shoot. Everything was so natural and organic from the beginning and continued that way until the end. We are so happy that we got to experience our first photo shoot with Nicole and will definitely be going to her for shoots from here on out!
We LOVED our experience with Images by Nic. She took our daughters newborn, six month and one year photos. If you have ever tried photographing a baby let alone toddler with endles...
s energy, you can appreciate how hard it is! Through tears and tantrums, Nicole was calm, reassuring and patient. She had a way of making us feel comfortable and confident.
I gave Nicole a 5 stars rating because she had more to offer than good photography. My review reflex my experience as well.
When photographing my daughter as a toddler, she sat down and let her explore and touch the camera. She took the time to familiarize her self, which made it much easier for everyone to feel more relaxed.
When we did milk bath photos Nicole went out of her way to bring fresh flowers, fruit and a basin. I was so impressed by how well the photos turned out. My daughter gave her 1 minute of attention and Nicole managed to capture so many different faces and expressions. They are some of my favorite photos.
Our experience was wonderful. Overall she did a fabulous job catching emotions and expressions. Her photos have a way of making me smile. It was fun to have her take our pictures. The whole process was amazing.
Sessions with Nic are honestly so much fun. She always manages to make me feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera (which is rare, let me tell you). Nic takes the time t...
o really understand and connect with whoever she's photographing, each session is truly unique to her client and that makes the images she's taken for me even more special. She has the talent to capture beautiful images that are genuine, not overly posed or generic. She captures it all: from the stunning detail shots to the fleeting, in-between moments that seems to fly by. Nic is organized, a great communicator and flexible; she'll make the photography aspect of your wedding stress-free and fun (even for camera-shy people like me).
