LiveLight Photography

edding photos...WOW! They perfectly captured all of the emotions & special moments of our wedding day. Even in the moments that felt rushed or fleeting, they managed to capture the magic. We haven't been able to easily pick favorites because every photo is stunning. So happy we found and chose them to be our photographers and you will be too.

g recommended by Nicki and we couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. I always felt comfortable with her and the photos she took. I could totally be myself with my wife and I think she captured that in the pictures. Our wedding day was a continuation of our great engagement shoot. Nicki captured so many great moments before, during, and after the ceremony. The pictures we received told a great story of our day. Of course there were the typical family pictures that the parents and in-laws loved but we adored the candid and action shots when we were just having the time of our lives. She captured them wonderfully. The final photos were expertly edited and looked great. We were given a download link to full resolution photos to save as well as a link to share with our friends and family. I would highly recommend her as your photographer to capture your special day. She's a dream!

ched out to and met with. I never had to call or meet with anyone else. I call my Jeff (my husband) right after our first meeting and told him we had to book them. Have not regretted that decision once. Nicki has been amazing with communication and offering to help with anything she can throughout the wedding planning process. She is so personable and makes everything so comfortable. Photography was one of the most important things to me in my wedding and that is why LiveLight caught my eye in the beginning. Nicki and Brian's portfolio is full of emotional pictures that make you feel like you are apart of the day just by looking at them. They way they do the lighting and just every detail makes a difference. Now I know they make this possible by really getting to know you. I am so impressed with all of my pictures, and I can't say that enough. They captured our relationships with our friends, family, and each other so perfectly, which was so important to us. Like I said... I could go on forever about Nicki and Brian. They helped make my day the best day ever.

Livelight on the Knot. They were the first vendor we picked, and with good reason! From the moment Nicki called us to get to know us before we even booked, we knew we would be in good hands, but we are still floored with how happy we are with our photography. Nicki was ready to travel all over the state with us to make sure we had the perfect location for our pictures, and it paid off in spades. She kept us happy and focused while an entire mountain's worth of spectators watched us take our engagement photos and still made us look like we were the only people on earth. Our feedback from friends and strangers alike was that we looked like we were movie stars (we don't), and that they had never seen such beautiful pictures. We just recently got our photos from our wedding, and they are nothing short of perfect. Nicki has this knack for taking the ordinary, most natural moments and keeping them ordinary but managing to emphasize how perfect that is. All the emotion we felt throughout the day was conveyed in our pictures for us to remember. She also worked with the light to give us just our style, not too polished or perfect, somewhat artistic, but not obnoxiously over-processed or contrived. Additionally, Nicki was in contact with us frequently throughout our engagement, giving us things to think about over time, rather than as a last minute crunch, and putting us at ease that she had not forgotten our big day. She was quick answering all of our questions, and put up with our multiple venue changes when booking. We paid a totally middle of the road fee and received superior quality and service. Best. Choice. Ever.

session, they also shot our wedding, which happened to be in our hometown, 600 miles away from our current residence. The beautiful memories that were captured are nothing short of magical. Working with them was easy, professional, and so much fun. They are wonderful and beautiful souls and we cannot wait to work with them again in the future to capture all of our special moments.

inquiries and questions. She is professional, timely, and incredibly flexible. These may seem like small things, but they mean a lot when planning a wedding. This aside, Nicki and Brian are unbelievably talented. She took photos (and he helped edit them) for two events of mine and I couldn’t have been even a tiny bit happier. Their work is gorgeous. My highest priority was finding someone whose style was candid. I really didn’t want standard “posed” photography for our big day. My expectations were exceeded. I had very small “courthouse” wedding that took place on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Only a few people were there to witness it, but the photos tell the story of our special day. Everyone who has seen the photographs has been so impressed and it has little to do with us. I’ve been asked repeatedly who took our pictures and that they are “so classy” and very “old Hollywood.” They embody something I never envisioned. Somehow, she made us shine. My husband and I don’t photograph particularly well, and honestly, you would never know. She managed to produce amazing photo after amazing photo. Somehow while doing all of this, she was also unobtrusive. She strikes an incredible balance of staying back and letting things unfold naturally, while comfortably "unsticking" situations that need to be helped along. As a side note, I felt very anxious the hours before our ceremony. It had nothing to do with who I was marrying, but all the details that go along with “your big day.” Because I had such a small wedding, I had very few people around to help me navigate through that stress. Nicki showed up and from the moment I met her, I started to feel better. I didn’t even know her, but she somehow knew what I needed (without being pushy or invasive). Her calming presence really helped me get through a few tough hours. It was obvious she’s used to dealing with weddings, people, and intense moments. She brought such a calming presence “to the table.” I could never convey completely what she gave me that day. It makes me teary just thinking about it. In addition, she came to our family celebration (essentially our reception) in the mountains of North Carolina. People were running around, saying odd things, having tearful moments, etc., and none of it phased her. She remained the rock that she is and moved effortlessly through the chaos and again, provided us with another set of magnificent photographs. They are so beautiful I can hardly stand it. I want to frame them all and cover my walls. She is so gifted. My husband always says that if I love something, you’re going to know it. I will talk up any good experience I have, any great food I eat, or any product I find worthwhile. I’m dying to do this about Livelight photography except we live in different states, so it’s harder to tell people, “YOU HAVE TO HIRE THEM,” even though I want to tell everyone. If I sound crazy, it’s because I am- about Nicki, she really impressed both my husband and I. It is pure kismet that she was our photographer and of all of the wedding decisions we made, she was our most fortunate choice. I wish I could hire her for every major event in my life to capture all the beauty she finds around her.

e. It's unique and beautiful. I had an idea to do something a little different - boudoir photos - to give as a gift to my fiancé (we are still in the very early stages of planning our wedding). I told Nicki I was a little camera shy but once we got started, she made me feel comfortable, very relaxed and we had so much fun! I am so pleased with how classy (yet sexy) these are. Needless to say, my fiancé was pleasantly surprised! I can't wait to have the opportunity to work with Nicki and Brian on our big day in the future!

ut moments with our guests and families. They took the most beautiful photos of the surroundings and summarized every aspect of the day beautifully through their amazing photography. Beyond their insurmountable talent, Nicki and Brian's persona is one that you'd be grateful to have around on your wedding day. They have a calming presence and they are incredibly kind, composed, professional, and creative. I highly recommend LiveLight Photography! Thank you!

a spontaneous moment and capturing STUNNING candid memories. I am in love with their artistic documentary style and I can't say enough great things about my experience working with them! I recommend them whole-heartedly a hundred times over!!!

so this was the most important to me and my photos are the most artistic and beautiful moments of our wedding day put together into one perfect package. I am blown away!!!! Nicki went above and beyond from the beginning and I LOVE THEM, my family loves them, my wedding party loves them, and now I have the best wedding photos that I have ever seen, hands down!

artistic approach to capturing life as it unfolds in one still photograph. Their portfolio wasn't a compilation of stiff bridal parties posing after the ceremony, but instead photos that evoked emotion and were works of art. I contacted them through the website's forum and received a prompt email response from Nicki to set up a time to chat and see if it was the right fit. As all bride's know, the wedding planning process can be very stressful. I knew choosing the right photographer was pivotal because the photos last FOREVER, so I was especially nervous. Immediately, when I sat down with Nicki and started expressing my vision for the wedding, I felt at ease. I can't express how wonderful it was throughout the entire wedding planning process to have someone who was calm, composed, and accommodating to work with. Nicki and her husband did an amazing job the day of to make sure nothing was missed, but still allowed us to live in the moments at our wedding. I received many compliments from family and friends on how hard they both worked the day of our wedding chasing us around! The best part of all is that, not only are these two amazing to work with, they produce the most GORGEOUS and genuine photos. My wedding album looks like it came straight out of a magazine. I couldn't have asked for a better pair and I have been in many weddings and worked with photographers. If I could give LiveLight 6 stars, I would.

hing else and I'm so glad that we invested in them. They were nothing but honest from the beginning and although I probably emailed Nicki way too much, she was always quick to respond and helped me through every step of any planning and decision making that I wasn't sure about. More than that, our photos are STUNNING and REAL and extremely us. Every time I show them off, the comments are always that they are artistic, beautifully done and that they really caught true emotions. Brian and Nicki made us incredibly comfortable and really know how to get those moments that others would miss. These photos are now one of my most prized possessions and I could not be more thankful.

nique photographs that evoke the spirit and atmosphere of the event. The photos truly tell the story of our day without feeling staged and capture many scenes and moments that I was either too busy or drunk to remember.

ul, and unique. Brian and Nicki were so fun and easy to work with, they met our every request, and our guests all loved them. They really got to know us and were able to capture our personalities and style perfectly! They are very organized and accommodating, available whenever I needed anything and were always happy to be there. I have received nothing but praise when people see my wedding photos, I am so proud to show them to anyone who will look! I highly recommend LiveLight photography, it was a great experience and our photos were amazing beyond our expectations!

and groom. Anyone would be lucky to have their wedding photographs taken by Livelight Photography!!
