Little Mac Design

Absolutely AMAZING to work with! We had never had professional pictures taken before and Nicole made it so easy and fun! Our engagement pictures turned out beautifully and are looking forward to our wedding pictures. I 100% recommended her for any photography needs!

Wow, Nicole is simply amazing! Her work is stunning and got so much more than I ever expected! Her attention to detail and professionalizm is beyond my expectations! When hiring Nicole, you can certainly tell her what's important to you, but know that her skill is far better than you will ever dream of! The creative juices flow from this one... Nicole you are a ROCKSTAR!

Nicole is an incredible photographer! I knew I wanted her to be our photographer when a family friend of mine posted her wedding day photos done by Little Mac Design. Her pictures weren't like anything I'd ever seen before! The colors were amazing!! I immediately reached out to Nicole, and she was so easy to work with throughout everything (even covid). My husband and I were able to develop a relationship with her during our engagement photo session, making our wedding day practically effortless. She knew exactly what we wanted, and she definitely delivered! I can't recommend Little Mac Design enough!!

Wow! Nicole is sweet from start to finish. VERY kind. She knows all the ins and outs. I actually contacted her to help me with what the timeline for the entire day should look like from when we start hair and make up to the first look. And the pictures... amazing!!! They speak for themselves! She will always get an A+++ recommendation from us!

Nicole was amazing as a photographer. I am so excited with how all the pictures turned out. She provided many fun picture ideas, and made both my husband and myself feel comfortable in front of the camera

Nicole at little Mac Design is an amazing photographer! After seeing her photos, I wouldn't have picked anyone else to shoot our wedding photography. She is an artist and her pictures are one of a kind. Nicole and Megan were great to work with very fun and friendly! They made our wedding a day to remember with all of the unique pictures! We did a Champaign pic, confetti, sparklers, and sunset pics! Nicole worked hard at getting is our pictures as soon as possible, she sent some on Facebook during the week as they were ready and all of the pictures were ready in a week! All I can say is wow, they turned out better then we ever imagined! Thanks Nicole and Megan for making our special day so memorable with all of the amazing pictures!

Amazing work! I am not one who personally likes getting my picture taken but she just made me feel so comfortable and I just appreciate that so much! She used a drone, and fog which I have never done before! She honestly is so creative! My fiancé and I can’t wait to have her for our wedding next year!

Nicole Engstrom is a very talented and trustworthy photographer. She is kind and cares about you!

Nicole is wonderful, she's so friendly and open to making your shoots with her a collaboration so that you can always try new things or poses you've found on Pinterest. In our multiple sessions with her, she's always came early and has been set up so that when it's our "start" time, we sometimes already have a few photos under our belt. I also really like her candid pictures, some of my favorite ones were the ones she was shooting in the background or when we weren't posing and I think she really captured the emotion of the moment while still making everything flattering. She's been so accommodating as well with COVID. While inside shooting she wears a mask and she was willing to split timing so that we could have her for a few hours on our original wedding date to take pictures of the ceremony, but also that we could have her for the remaining time at our reception next May. That really helped take a load off my mind when I already had so much going on. Such positive experiences, thank you!

Nicole was amazing to work with for our engagement photos! She made the shoot fun, while making sure we felt comfortable . Our gallery was done so quickly and the pictures were beautiful. We definitely look forward to working with her in the future for the rest of our families picture needs!!

Nicole was the best! She made it so comfortable for us during our session. Our engagement photos turned out wonderful and I can't wait to show them off!

I will first say Nicole is a very sweet, kind and talented person and she really does go out of her way to make everything special and try to fix any issues. However, knowing what we know now, I just don’t think she was the best fit for our wedding. We are not 100% happy with our photos. We were sent our gallery photos in which their are unflattering camera angles (I’m a plus sized girl and there are pictures that made me look even larger than what I am), people weren’t looking at the camera, people had their eyes closed, or the pictures just weren’t edited to what we had hoped. When we reached out to Nicole, she told us she felt terrible and to let her know what could be done to fix things, but unfortunately nothing can be done; my dress was already sent for preservation; all of our family lives anywhere from 1.5-4 hours away; these are the pictures that we have and we will make do with them. I just wish Nicole would have been upfront and told us that she doesn’t do photoshop in pictures, prior to booking with her, because we have so many photos that we want corrected, but don’t want them to look bad or like they’ve been photo-shopped and unfortunately they will remain as they are. I personally I wish I would’ve said more to Nicole when we were shooting on the wedding day, but I put all my faith in her skills because she’s a professional and all of our pictures are pretty much candid photos, we have very little posed photos and I think we should’ve had some that were posed. I should have made sure we had more structure and I should’ve had a voice; but these are all things I didn’t realize until now. I think Nicole is wonderful and very talented, but I just don’t love our photos they way I hoped I would have.

Nicole was amazing, and we were very lucky to be able to have her. She did a fantastic job with our engagement photos, and we were again blown away at how amazing she was when we saw our wedding photos. She is very upbeat and has great ideas! We highly recommend her and I have already told me friends about her!

This photographer goes above and beyond to make that wedding shot absolutely perfect. Utilizing intricate and complex lighting equipment to ensure that every shot captures that perfect moment and that perfect nuance which is what separates this company from the amateurs. 5 stars and highly recommended!

Nicole took some very nice traditional photos, as well as some interesting artistic shots. She was very accommodating and easy to work with.

I have worked as a second shooter with Nicole on several weddings. I always learn something new from her. She is constantly doing research on new techniques and is very creative. If you want great photos, go with Little Mac Design!

I’ve worked with Little Mac as a second photographer and was very impressed by several things. The professionalism and punctuality in which she worked including her kindness and caring when taking care of her clients. She is creative, and does beautiful work. I enjoyed working with her and hope to many times in the future.

Very creative shots and very professional. You will love the results.

We love Nicole! She has done 3 of my family member’s weddings and will be shooting for my sister’s wedding in October as well. She ic creative, efficient with clear communication, timely, thoughtful and thorough. We have had such a blast looking through all of our wedding photos. She did a beautiful job capturing our special day and we couldn’t recommend her enough!

Nicole did an amazing job with our photos. She is very professional but also put us at ease. I usually feel awkward getting my photo taken but she did an amazing job at helping us feel comfortable. She took gorgeous photos and had great ideas of photos to take. She really listened to our ideas too. We had a spur of the moment idea to take photos on the swings, and she listened and took more amazing shots then we could have expected. Her turnaround on photos is amazing. We saw the sneak peaks as soon as the day after and we had all the photos in 3 weeks. We are so happy with the results and will recommend her to everyone!

My husband and I got married May 25th, 2019 and Little Mac Design was hands down the best decision I made. She was profession, creative and above all patient with me and my crazy family the whole day. Even on top of some family emergency she stayed an extra hour and kept me on task, and let things slip when needed. Nicole is so sweet and kind I couldn’t have asked for better. My pictures are breath taking and I can’t seem to narrow down my selection. So happy and lots of referrals coming my way!!!

Little Mac Designs was hands down amazing! Nicole is professional, but warm and really makes you feel comfortable. She helped us through the timeline process and suggested tips and tricks for how to save time but still get all the pictures we wanted. We also had a second shooter who she hired and he also did great! Nicole is very creative and suggested a lot of awesome poses that I didn’t even think of! As early as the day after the wedding I was able to see some sneak peaks of the photos she took and they are breathtaking. I have already started getting compliments on our photos and how beautiful they are. Nicole also offers photo albums which me and my husband will be customizing with her. I will be recommending Nicole to all family and friends!

I really liked photography when I was younger so my expectations were fairly high coming into this. We talked with about 5 vendors and met with 3. What I liked about Nicole was she did great shots but she pumped it up a notch by using backlighting, filters, a tri-fold mirror, and crazy fractals! I was pretty sure I would get amazing pictures but what she gave us far exceeded my expectations. I'm incredibly grateful for getting such an amazing photographer for an amazing price. I will definitely be using her for future photography needs :)

Working with Nicole was amazing. She was professional, prompt, and on task. Very considerate and thoughtful. Skilled at working with different people and family. Technical skills were wonderful. Always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. She effectively used the natural light to create pictures that were wonderful and captured the moment and the emotion of our adoration for each other. We were lucky and to have had her skills for our day. she has been a part of our sons wedding, our wedding, and we look forward to have her at our daughters wedding. Thank you Nicole!!

Great services provided, we wanted a photographer with a vast knowledge to take unique photos. And capture our best day ever, we got exceptional photos! And we received our photos back quickly. Nicole is easy to work with, professional and open to suggestions. In hindsight I would have paid for more hours. We are Very happy Mr and Mrs. Thank you!

Anyone looking for a wedding photographer MUST use Nicole !! She was phenomenal !! Always responsive and so creative with her shots ...her work is pure beauty and you won't be dissapointed !! Book today before you lose out !!

Nicole was a spectacular photographer and we’re so glad we picked her! What initially drew me to her was her eye for sunset/nature shots. I showed her photograph ideas from the internet and she recreated them all. She had creative ideas and was really friendly to us and our guests. She had our pictures edited and I ready for us so fast! I would pick her again in a second.

Nicole did a great job! From initial contact to the photo session taking place was easy and fun with her. I did a surprise proporsal and Nicole did a good job at keeping it a secret. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend her.

Nicole did an awesome job and was a joy to work with! Heidi and I highly recommend her. She knows her craft, with exceptional knowledge of outdoor lighting. She was always where she needed to be to capture that big moment or candid shot. We have never seen a photographer with such energy and hustle! Nicole has passion and exuberance rarely seen these days. She told us she loves winter weddings and it showed! She put on her boots and got down in the snow to take advantage of the lighting and get that perfect angle. She is very creative, so you won't get just your typical photos. Our favorite was the reveal, the first time Heidi and I saw each other in church. Nicole puts her heart into her craft. Thank you Nicole for sharing our day with us!

I can't say enough about Nicole Engstrom of Little Mac Design. She is the best of the best! We were referred to her by a friend and I can only say how lucky we were that she was available on our date! The professionalism, the artistry, her participation in everything important about our special day and knowing just what to capture had us so thrilled to see our photos. We were not disappointed. I will share a few photos but honestly there were hundreds of amazing moments captured beautifully. If you can get this amazing woman on your special day - do it! She is outstanding and we love her!

Nicole is such an amazing and talented photographer, you can tell she puts all her passion into capturing breathtaking moments for couples! She made my fiancé and I feel extremely comfortable and relaxed at our engagement shoot in Carver Park. Our pictures could not have turned out any better, which made it extremely hard to pick out our favorites. Her responses came almost instantly when I reached out with questions or confirming details and her flexibility to work around our schedules and locations for pictures was so appreciated. On a scale of 1-10 I would give her a 20 and HIGHLY recommend her for your big day too! I am so excited to have her capture our wedding in June 2019!

Nicole was awesome from the first interview through the wedding day. She was always prompt and courtesy. She worked long hours to get our photos to us in a timely fashion. We would recommend Nicole to anyone!

When It was time for our wedding, we had the hardest time deciding who will take our wedding photos. The reason because we are in the same profession and wanted to seek out someone who was able to take our wedding photos the way we wanted. And trust me we are picky!!!! My fiancé and I needed a photographer with excellent editing skills, camera quality like the ones we used and artistic who also needed to be understanding and easy to work with. Nicole was an amazing photographer for our wedding. She was super understanding and helpful. We told her exactly what we were looking for and she was able to do so. Our wedding photos turned out amazing. Our wedding theme was Star Wars and she had captured the most amazing shots for us. A month after our wedding we scheduled another photoshoot. She is very sweet and helpful. She will go out of her ways to capture the best moments at your wedding. I would recommend her to everyone.

Nicole is the best! I found her on facebook on a local wedding group. I immediately loved the artistic and vibrant photos she displayed. I talked with her for awhile before booking as I wanted to make sure I selected the right photographer for us. My fiance was not able to see differences in many photos I was showing him until he saw Nicole's work and loved it. She was able to shoot our engagement photos in Duluth and will be shooting our wedding in the twin cities next summer. She was very kind, friendly, and super easy to work with. Very responsive and sent out our photos quickly after our engagement shoot. They are amazing quality and she had great ideas for shots and poses even when we had no idea what we should be doing. I highly recommend Nicole and I'm so glad I chose her!

Little Mac Design did such a great job with our wedding photos. We have received so many compliments on them already, and several people have said they are the most beautiful wedding pictures they have ever seen. She also did a great job of suggesting and directing different photo groupings and different poses, which was very helpful for us because we had not provided Nicole with much of anything for ideas prior to the event. She was also very quick to turn around sneak peak photos, and also hand delivered the flashdrive with all of our photos in a quick timeframe. Nicole was also very flexible with her schedule, and allowed us to add additional hours for photos at the last minute when we realized we had more moments to capture. Photos are one of the main things that you will have from your wedding day forever; it was worth every penny to have Little Mac Design capture all the moments of that day to look back on for a lifetime!

Little Mac Design is an outstanding photographer! Nicole provided an amazing experience for our June 2018 North Shore wedding! We met with Nicole and was impressed with her level of organization. At the consultation she brought an album of her work. I cannot begin to express how impressive Nicole's work is! She is not just a photographer but an artist and friend! Nicole is so friendly and inviting. You will find yourself feeling like you have known her always. She is always available to answer questions or think through details and is extremely responsive. Nicole arrived early to our wedding and shot pictures for 12 hours! When we were irritable and just wanted to stop taking pictures she was incredible about pushing through to get the photos that she knew we needed. Nicole also brought a backup photographer to ensure there were no shots missed. Nicole captured so many truly amazing moments! I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Nicole. She even won a photography contest through her creativity for a once in a lifetime shot that she took at our wedding! If you are looking for a photographer a notch above the rest Little Mac Design is just that!

Nicole’s photography is always amazing! I can’t recommend her enough! We had her do our engagement photos and they turned out fabulous. I knew I could trust her to do our wedding photos and they are stunning. She is very professional and easy to work with. She is timely and makes the process easy by giving you poses and direction. It went smoothly the whole night! Thanks for the great work you do!

Nicole has been amazing to work with. The photos she took of our wedding were perfect and everything was edited just in time for us to return from our honeymoon. She worked so hard during our wedding to get all sorts of fantastic shots and most importantly to me, she was incredibly easy to contact. She always got back to me in record time which was extremely helpful and was very flexible. You can't go wrong with her as your photographer.

Nicole was amazing to work with! We could not have been happier with how the day went, and our pictures turned out amazing. We would recommend her for all your special moments!

Nicole was wonderful!

Nicole was very professional and responsive to our needs. She arrived on time and worked with my bride and me and our wedding party to ensure she captured memorable images!

I love how professional and personable she is. She has done a bunch of photos for me and I can’t wait for her to do our wedding photos in October! She is very outgoing and friendly and I love how she is willing to try anything.

I added Nicole to my preferred vendors list after the first wedding we met at. She has such a good positive energy and is so sweet and ready for anything! She was very good and making sure all those important shots were taken care of for the couple so that I, the onsite building coordinator, did not have to do anything. So nice when you are busy trying to get everything else done!!!! She came in early so she could check out the lighting and test her settings. Her style of photography is also so awesome and original.

Having a winter wedding didn't have the weather on our side, but Nicole was always so flexible and willing to work with us as our schedule changed the week of the wedding. Her editing is beautiful! We are so glad to have picked her for our photographer. :)

Nicole did an amazing job capturing the love in our wedding! We couldn’t be happier with our pictures!

Nicole is amazing. She captured my dream wedding. She was so professional and extremely fast at getting back to me when I had questions. She also visits the venue beforehand to make sure she has great spots and lighting. I would recommend her!

Dennis Kramarczuk and I were married on 10-6-17 in Minneapolis - even in pouring down rain Nicole pulled off AMAZING photo's and made our day so special - the early peeks are simply awesome and we can't wait to see more. She was simply impressive under the pressure of the weather and movement between the ceremony and reception!

Nicole was great to work with for our wedding and we love what we've seen so far for our sneak peeks!!! She has such a creative eye and is willing to work with you to capture what you want!

What a blessing it was to have Nicole Engstrom of Little Mac Design shoot our engagement session and wedding! The photos are nothing short of AMAZING! She captured so many precious moments of our day that will be fun to look back at for a lifetime! She has an amazing eye and skill set that cannot be compared to. She was fun and easy to work with and had our photos back to us in two weeks! Unheard of! I had been given wedding planning advice to find a good photographer. I didn't find a good one, I was lucky to find a top notch one! Thank you, thank you, Nicole! You were outstanding!! Matt and Amy

The photos that Nicole took of our wedding are STUNNING! Thank you so, so much. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to help us capture the most important day of our lives. Nicole was fantastic to work with. Very professional and knowledgeable and the photos we received were spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with us, Nicole!!

Nicole was our wedding photographer. She was hardworking, professional, and responsive. She allowed us to direct her on what photos we wanted but also brought her creativity. We would highly recommend Nicole. Do yourself a favor and get her for your wedding.

Nicole photographed both our engagement and wedding photos. She did an amazing job, was flexible with our requests as well as changes, and had great ideas as well as amazing equipment. We would definitely recommend her to all of our friends and family for any photography needs. Thanks again Nicole!

My husband and I got married in Stillwater, Minnesota on June 10th of this year which was a very HOT and sunny day. TWO DAYS after an unexpected surgery, Nicole arrived at our venue ready to photograph our wedding and she did not miss a beat. She was absolutely fantastic, and extremely professional. She was able to bring a fellow photographer to offer assistance due to restrictions after surgery, and she was also wonderful. Nicole had a few edited photos sent to me the same night as the wedding, which were absolutely incredible. I would HIGHLY recommend Little Mac Design for any sort of photo shoot, or event you may be having- ESPECIALLY a wedding!

We knew Nicole was going to be the best choice as our wedding photographer after we saw her beautiful pictures and style online. The day of Nicole did amazing, we had multiple people comment about how friendly she was with our guests. Additionally, she has invested in a lot of money into her gear and glass to produce absolutely stunning photos. Her photos that she took are to die for. We definitely suggest Nicole and we will be using her in the future for family photos.

Nicole was great to work with and the photos turned out amazing.
