Lizard Nickel Photography

Simply Amazing. From engagement to the wedding day she was very professional, easy to reach, and beyond organized (which is huge for me). Liz cares about what is important to her brides and takes that into account when planning her shots. My husband and I could not be happier with how our photos turned out. Liz gave the perfect amount of instruction so that as subjects you don't feel awkward, but not too much that you feel overly posed. I could go on and on with how impressed I am with her detail oriented work, but just know that she is simply the best.

Liz captures some amazing images! She really will go to great lengths to execute an awesome shot. You can tell that photography is truly her passion. No matter how many weddings she has shot she still gets giddy to show the bride and groom the memories of their day. She has a skill to capture authentic moments. In addition to great images she takes pride in offering high quality printed products that will exceed your expectations. Too bad Liz was probably like 5 when I got married!

Liz was hands down the best part of my wedding (besides the getting a husband part :)) My husband and I were long distance up until the wedding. He was in Lubbock, I was in Abilene, our families and wedding were in Midland. She traveled to Lubbock for an engagement shoot which turned out incredible despite the working conditions (probably the hottest day in October) and her falling ill from pesticides in the cotton field we were in. The pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL. She came to Abilene to shoot my bridal portraits on ACUs campus. We had to reschedule after she caught a nasty stomach bug, but she is a CHAMP and was totally flexible and offered to reimburse me for anything such as hair, make up, flowers, etc. that had already been paid for since she couldn't make our original date. None of that was necessary because we rescheduled for a few days later and I used all the original arrangements! My bridal portraits were so phenomenal it was difficult to pick a favorite. She came to our rehearsal dinner, not to shoot but just to get a feel for our plan. She helped organize and arrange people, and wrote things down for us and sent it to me later...which ended up being a life saver!! She was not asked to do any of these things, she is just a great person. On the wedding day she was familiar with all my family and friends (part of that has to do with growing up in the same town :)) She brought a second shooter, Lori, and they were 100% organized and made sure everyone knew the schedule for the day. She was totally relaxed when we were an hour behind schedule (hair and make up for a bride and 8 bridesmaids is hard). She assured me I would get all the pictures I wanted no matter what. Having a schedule of photos and the names of who was in each photo written out helped get things done. Liz and Lori captured the most amazing moments from the ceremony. During the reception they were totally on top of things and always there when I needed them. There were many times people wanted a picture and I just had to turn around to find one of them there ready to shoot. It helped that they were able to shoot most of the reception details and decorations earlier in the day while everyone was getting ready. After the reception they even stuck around to follow the wedding party out to the Rockhounds stadium to catch the end of the game and fireworks. We were caught in a huge down pour and thunderstorm which ended the game early and cancelled the fireworks. Liz still got amazing photos of the wedding party sitting in the stands watching the game. She doesn't wait for photo opportunities, she makes them happen. Days after our wedding Liz sent me a preview of about 50 photos from the wedding day. The girl must have been working non stop. I was so thankful to not have to wait weeks before seeing any of her work. Every single picture was perfect. I can not wait to see the rest of the photos!!!! There are so many other details about Liz and her work that I know I am forgetting to include. She was very professional yet very very personal. She gave us gifts, made personal deliveries, and treated us like old friends. We will absolutely be using Liz for all our photography needs for as long as she will have us. I have really enjoyed working with Liz throughout our engagement and wedding. I am so thankful for her service and friendship!!

Liz is the BEST! This is the second time I've been a maid of honor in a wedding Liz has photographed. She is so professional, but beyond that, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! Liz is an incredibly talented photographer. She knows exactly how to capture the essence of the day so seamlessly in her photographs. Liz has an eye for the beautiful, and believe me, she will make you feel SO BEAUTIFUL! I truly can't recommend her enough. Without a doubt, I plan to hire her for my future wedding. She is a star in her profession.
