Nick was absolutely 100% worth the money. The pictures were out of this world and his personality really made it an easy, smooth day for me and my bride, Courtney. He worked so well with our other vendors. He was the life of the party in many moments. He made Courtney laugh when she was stressed, which I loved. Hands down best choice we made.
Nicholas and his team exceeded all expectations! Their talent and creativity captured the most incredible moments of our special day. We are beyond thrilled with the breathtaking photos that will be cherished for a lifetime. Highly recommended!
My husband and I chose Nick as our wedding photographer for his creativity and style, and he did not disappoint! From our engagement shoot to our amazing wedding photos that didn't miss any moment, the experience could not have been better. You will feel like you're working with an old friend - Nick is easygoing but efficient, grabbing so many great shots while you feel like you've barely even posed! I would recommend him time and time again.
Any questions?
We hired Nick for our June 2022 wedding and he absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. From our first experience with him at our engagement pictures, to our final wedding gallery, he truly creates works of art. My husband and I are not used to having our pictures taken at all, and Nick made us so comfortable! On the wedding day, him and his wife Cushla were amazing. We didn’t have any sort of photo set list in mind - they knew exactly which photos to take to really capture the essence of our wedding day. They also blended seamlessly in the surroundings, so you didn’t feel like you had a camera in your face all day! When we got our gallery back, we were absolutely amazed at what they were able to capture. These aren’t just photos; they are memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We cannot recommend Nicholas Gore Weddings enough!!
I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Nick and his team. I'm so happy that we did an engagement shoot with him because it really allowed my husband and I to work out any jitters about being professionally photographed, as neither of us had done that before, and we were able to meet Nick and establish a rapport with him prior to the actual day of the wedding, where WAY too many things are happening way too quickly! I've heard about giving out schedules of who all is in this picture and in what formation... Nick is much more go-with-the-flow, which we really appreciated. He takes what the current situation gives him lighting, staging, even the people, and gets a beautiful and natural looking product. I don't know too much about the technical aspects, but all of his photographs end up looking so light and beautiful; just check out his Instagram, it is so obvious that Nick is exceptionally talented in his line of work. I'm honestly sad our wedding is over with and we don't have another excuse to meet up with Nick just to chat, he's that easy to get along with!!
We hired Nick before the pandemic and he never added to the stress of things. He’s easy to work with and his level of communication was always prompt. His photos, and overall creative vision is next level. The photos were stunning. His photoshopping skills are subtle and natural and he’s just great at enhancing the beauty of everything — people, little details, the experience. Everyone I know just raved over his work! We’re very happy we went with him for our big day.
Hiring Nick for our wedding photos was the best decision we made. My husband and I were nervous about taking wedding photos, since neither of us are usually comfortable in front of a camera. Nick made us feel at ease and perfectly captured our day! We are in love with the photos. I’m still swooning!
Nick is incredible, if you don’t choose him I can promise you will regret it! I am a photo snob, therefore selecting our engagement and wedding photographer was the most important decision of our engagement. Nick came up to Washington, DC for our Cherry Blossom engagement session, and our wedding was at the William Aiken house in Charleston. My husband and I had SO much fun with Nick and absolutely loved him. We felt super comfortable and it felt as if he was a lifelong friend. Nick has a ton of energy and his creativity was boundless. The photos turned out PERFECT which is shocking for me to say since I typically dislike half of the photos of myself. Not only have our friends and family raved over our engagement/wedding photos, but we’ve had complete strangers reach out tell us they’re the most gorgeous engagement/wedding photos they’ve ever seen and asked us to put them in touch with Nick.
Nick and team are truly amazing! Photography is something I highly valued when it came to our wedding, and Nick did not disappoint!
Our first experience with Nick was for our engagement photos out at Botany Bay (a location Nick suggested, and we ABSOLUTELY adored). My husband and I are awkward to say the least, and Nick was able to effortlessly work with us to get stunning photos.
When it came to our wedding, things went so smoothly. He found beautiful locations around our venue that turned into even more beautiful photos. And when it came to the ceremony and reception, we barely even noticed him floating around! The candid photos are so fun and dynamic - really capturing our friends, family, and their personality.
Overall, we would pick Nicholas Gore Weddings again and again. And we highly recommend making them a part of your special day!
Nick and Cushla are the best! Very professional, communicative, and fun to work with. They made us feel so comfortable and our wedding gallery turned out absolutely beautiful.
Nicholas and Cushla were an absolute pleasure to work with. From our engagement session with Nicholas to working with both Nicholas and Cushla for our wedding, we couldn’t of asked for better people to work with. There artistic talent behind the camera is top notch and brings such a beautiful touch to your memories. They made sure everything I wanted in photos were captured and helped make sure we stuck to our timeline and got all the photos I was wanting from the day. It was nice to look back at the photos and see moments captured that I wasn’t there to see. Thank you so much!!
Nick was the first vendor I hired after finding my venue and I am SO glad I moved that fast. He was wonderful to work with during our engagement shoot. My list of particulars were long, but he managed to capture my vision impeccably while wandering though downtown Charleston. He even spent an extra hour with us trekking up King Street to find a bar for my last coveted shot.
On wedding day, my timing was tight between the first look, ceremony and reception. Nick and Cushla were champions — they never missed a beat and somehow kept my entire family AND me calm and on time. Group photos were a breeze (phew!) and they knew the best moments to pull my husband and me away for certain shots. There is so much they do behind the scenes that I am still amazed at to this day.
Our photos are STUNNING! My husband’s and my expectations were truly shattered when we received our gallery. Thank you so much Nick and Cushla!
Nick and his wife did an outstanding job with out engagement and wedding photos. We are so happy with how they turned out- they captured our big day perfectly. Nick also shot a bridal session for me and that was amazing as well!
We just got our wedding photos back and we absolutely love them! Nick and his wife captured every moment and detail to perfection. I cannot count the number of guests that told me “I can’t wait to see your wedding photos because you’re photographers were everywhere!”. Looking through our photos was like reliving the day. I highly recommend them! I love their style, the communication was great and they were such a joy to work with! I agree with one of the comments below, that I only wish I had booked them longer! I didn’t realize how quick the wedding day goes!
Nick and his wife are really great, chill people. They both are so talented and were able to capture so many great moments! Their photo composition is so incredible--I can't even decide which table setting photo I like (haha). Only thing I wish we'd done was book him longer and/or take multiple photos of the same group (there were only a couple of photos where the groom and friend's eyes were closed in a posed picture). Other than that, they are fantastic!
When my husband and I first got engaged, we knew we wanted a Charleston wedding and finding the perfect photographer was the top of our list. Based on others’ reviews and seeing his work, we went with Nick and I am SO glad we did. We LOVED our engagement and wedding photos. They turned out beautifully and Nick and his wife were so fun and easy to work with. They were able to capture every special detail and moment of our big day and we couldn’t be happier. We would hands down recommend Nick to anyone.
I highly recommend Nick and his team! Our wedding and engagement photos were incredible. I loved how natural they all were and the use of sunlight is amazing. Nick was very professional and easy to work with. He was efficient and helped us minimize time taking photos before the reception. We wanted to take photos quickly so we could get to the party. Nick made the process super quick and never pushed us to take photos we didn't want. I am so happy with how they all turned out and I wouldn't change a single thing!
If I could give Nicholas Gore Photography 100 stars, I would! From the moment Nick and his wife, Cushla, met us at our home for my daughter’s bridal session, we knew we loved them. They make such a great team and together they cover every detail. Nick brings his great personality and very positive energy that makes everyone light up for the most amazing shots. The bridal shots were breathtaking with the lighting and azaleas in full bloom. Together, they make it easy and natural.
The wedding day went smoothly and we are anxiously awaiting the ceremony and reception shots. He even captured the groom’s surprise “flip” of the bride in their last dance which was priceless. Everyone loved Nicholas Gore and I would most highly recommend him.
Response from the Vendor on 06/25/2021
Thank you so much Grace Ann! We had an incredible time capturing Mary Hunter and Clayton's wedding. It really was absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to get the final images to you very soon!
Nick was just fantastic, went above and beyond capturing our small wedding ceremony. And we received just fabulous photos! We cannot wait to work with Nick again for our bigger celebration in HHI. If you are looking for a great photographer with amazing talent - you need to hire Nicholas Gore!
I can’t say enough great things about Nick. Our number one priority for our wedding was to get amazing pictures. I haven’t seen our full wedding album yet but if the previews and bridal portraits are anything close, they will be absolutely perfect. I am extremely picky of photos of myself and Nick nailed them. Not only is he amazing at what he does, he was so much fun to work with. He even saved the day (for me, the bride) by fixing an issue with my dress no one else knew how to fix. I highly recommend Nick and his team!
I can not say enough about him and his partner. They were both so kind. My husband and I had a VERY short notice wedding and it moved around a lot(thank you military). He worked with our hectic ever changing schedule.
He showed up with the best attitude and the coolest belt. He was kind, so was his partner, friendly, and extremely professional.
He let my husband and I just do us. He took photos of everything and he was just so natural.
11/10 would recommend.
Thank you Nick.
Absolutely wonderful. Nick and Cushla were a wonderful team to work with and we are so happy with our photos. The communication was great, their ability to manage the special kind of chaos that ensures with weddings, and their ability to be a positive addition to the day all while capturing stunning photos made everything so memorable. We are so happy with our beautiful photographs and memories for years to come. Highly recommend. Their quality is spectacular!
If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!!! Nick was SO MUCH FUN to work with! He was punctual, energetic, friendly, and he definitely knew what he was doing! He is willing to go the extra mile to give you the most amazing photographs! The pictures turned out AMAZING!! All our friends and family were obsessed! I couldn’t recommend him more! You will definitely get your money’s worth and have so much fun in the process!! Hire him now now now!
Nick was a dream to work with!! I was somewhat nervous that things would be a bit awkward at the wedding since we didn’t get a chance to meet in person prior (I lived out of state), but Nick and his assistant fit in just like a couple of old friends and made us comfortable instantly. He was able to keep the mood light with jokes while still keeping us on track and capturing all of the important moments. Most importantly, I felt like he captured our wedding perfectly and looking through the photos takes me right back to that day. You have to put a lot of faith in your wedding photographer and Nick more than proved himself worthy.
Nicholas Gore Photography did an awesome job on our engagement and wedding photos! I must say that my now husband hates having his picture taken and absolutely dreaded our engagement session. We met Nick in downtown Charleston and it felt more like going on a walk with a friend than it did having an actual photoshoot, only stopping when he saw the perfect shot. I think the relaxed feel of our first session took all of the hesitancy out of my husband, and he was actually looking forward to the hundreds of photos we would take on our big day. Nick brought his wife to help him on our day-of and she was just as nice and easy to work with. Our friends and family are still complimenting us on how amazing our photos turned out. I highly recommend using Nick and his wife to capture your special moment!
We are so thankful for choosing Nicholas Gore Weddings to capture our microwedding! Nick and Cushla were amazing to work with and the quality of their work is beyond measure. They were friendly, professional, efficient, and captured the most GORGEOUS photos of our rainy wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend NGW!
Nicholas Gore Photography is absolutely AMAZING!! I found him after a lot of researching. With our wedding being an after dark event, I was being very particular with whom we chose. I know after dark photos can be very challenging to get the right lighting and I doubt everyone can do them. Without a doubt, Nicholas and his team nailed it! We are so in love with our photos and completely blown away with how they turned out. He is so artistic and creative, and you can tell he is very passionate about photography and it definitely shows in his work. Nicholas captured every single moment and detail of our big day. Not only did we love his nighttime photography, but he did a fantastic job catching fun candid shots.
I hate to admit it, but I was the type of bride that had to explore every single option out there to make sure every decision was thorough, well-thought out, and would contribute to making our wedding day as perfect as possible. I went through hundreds of photographers and when I found Nick's website, I literally stopped in my tracks. My then fiancee was asleep and I actually woke him up to show him Nick's website. Each picture was not just a photograph, but what seemed to be a perfectly coordinated work of art. I knew that I needed him to capture our perfect day.
As soon as I reached out to Nick, he was quick to provide pricing and information. He even followed up to see if we had any questions. It was still early in our planning process, but I knew he was a non-negotiable. His work spoke for itself and he seemed to be nice and accommodating. He was super flexible scheduling our engagement session and working with our planner to pick the perfect package.
While planning our engagement session, Nick expertly suggested locations and times of day to correspond to the best lighting. When we finally met at our engagement session, he used his expertise and extreme familiarity with the Charleston to capture amazing pictures (and give us some awesome tips about the city!). Like anyone, we were nervous for the shoot, as neither of us really like our picture taken, but Nick made us feel so comfortable as we walked around and he casually captured symmetrical, artistic, mini love-stories in each and every picture. He chatted with us as if we were old friends. When we got our pictures back a few weeks later, he did not disappoint. Each and every picture seemed to have every detail coordinated and covered, yet they were so natural and captured who we were as a couple.
Fast forward six months to the wedding and neither one of us were nervous, but more excited to see the amazing artistic views Nick was going to capture of us, our day, and our AMAZING venue (shot out to Lowndes Grove!) We knew Nick was incredible, but we were in for another great surprise when his second shooter- his wife Cushla was JUST as amazing (if not more :))
I was a typical self-conscious bride and Cushla's energy and presence immediately put me at ease. She even provided me with some expert tips to camouflage some of my least favorite features.
During the day Nick and Cushla were discretely buzzing around capturing every little detail that we ever could have imagined. Somehow, they managed to capture everything without drawing any attention to themselves.
When we got our pictures back there were several that I hadn't even realized were being taken and the candidness of our love shone through so vividly.
Just like with our engagement pictures, Nick (and Cushla!) had managed to capture hundreds of little pieces of art, paying attention to lines and symmetry, and all these little details that came together to tell our love story.
If you're looking for your day to be captured as a true work of art, Nicholas Gore Weddings is 100% the way to go. We couldn't be happier.
We all have our priorities when planning our weddings, and photography was at the top of my list. We had a destination wedding, so I spent a lot of time researching photographers. I fell in love with Nick’s candid shots, the quality of his photographs, and his eye for capturing all the right elements to turn a photograph into a piece of art. Needless to say, he ended up exceeding my expectations. On the wedding day, he was the right balance of flexible/behind the scenes and hands-on to take advantage of the lighting or a backdrop and to make sure I got all the photos I wanted. His wife was amazing with my little flower girls who kept asking to see their pictures, and they worked great with the videographer. I was surprised and thrilled by the number of photographs I got back. Family who could not attend the wedding said they felt like they were there when they looked through the photos, and as picky as I am about pictures of myself, I didn’t remove a single one from the entire album. The biggest challenge has been deciding which ones to frame. I have too many favorites!
Me and my husband got married in November 2020 and we absolutely loved how the pictures came out! We had his associate Sol and he became family by the end of the party! We would use them again in a heartbeat.
Nick and his wife are wonderful to work with and let you know exactly what to do but also let things be as natural as possible! When my fiancé and I got back the pictures from our engagement shoot, we were blown away! They are so beautiful, creative, and fun!! Do not hesitate in booking Nick and crew!
We had the pleasure of spending several days with Nick and Cushla because they came to Jamaica with us for our wedding! I can't put into words how lucky we feel that they came with us. Nick and Cushla are not only amazing at what they do, but they are simply amazing human beings. We were in a unique situation and didn't actually get to meet Nick and Cushla in person before the trip but they immediately fit in like they were a part of our group! We had such a blast getting to know them. They shot every aspect of our wedding weekend.... our "Welcome Dinner", a Catamaran boat ride, and our entire wedding day. They captured moments so vividly that looking back at our photos makes us feel like we are in that moment again. They are so incredibly talented. Thanks again, Nick and Cushla, for traveling to another country, surviving jellyfish stings, and delivering photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Nicholas and Cushla are INCREDIBLE!
The pictures from our engagement shoot & wedding were better than we could’ve imagined, absolutely gorgeous. They make you feel comfortable being in front of the camara and are so sweet and fun to be around.
We HIGHLY recommend these two!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2020
Hi Megan,
Thank you so much! We absolutely loved working with you at the Rice Mill. and I'm so happy that you loved all of your images!
Nick
We received our wedding photos today and are absolutely blown away! We have shared them with friends and family and they can't stop talking about how every single photo is spectacular. Nick and his wife are the dream team. They made us feel super comfortable and were quick and precise with every shot. Do yourselves a favor from the start and book Nicholas Gore Weddings!!
Nicholas and Cushla are the BEST! They were so personable, detail oriented, and professional while just integrating themselves into the fun of out day. The photos were inedibly captured and edited. I couldn't recommend them more!!!
Nicholas and Cushla Gore were extremely attentive to every detail of our special day! From the beginning, I searched endlessly for the best photographer in Charleston, SC to capture our day. We were beyond amazed with his portfolio from the start. Of course, we had to have their team! Both Nick and Cushla are very creative while capturing those special moments and extremely professional. Overall, this company provides quality and captivating photography! The best part about it, they made the experience fun!! The photos were absolutely gorgeous and we couldn’t have been more happy. I look forward to working with this company for future life events!
Nicholas and Cushla ROCK! My husband and I are so pleased with our images. So professional and knowledgeable. They really make you feel comfortable. My sister even hired them for her wedding a few months after mine! So amazing. Would reccomend them to anyone.
Amazing. Dedicated to their craft and capturing every ounce of happiness. They are excellent at what they do and so easy to work with.
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2020
Hi Gabrielle, thank you so much! I’m just really glad that we were able to work together with all the craziness going on right now. I really appreciate the kind words!
Nicholas was wonderful! The only thing I wanted for my wedding was amazing pictures. We had to change the location and the time and since we are from out of state, Nick gave us several great options on where we could get our pictures taken. The day and pictures turned out to be amazing. Would recommend!
Nick and Cushla were absolutely WONDERFUL at both our wedding and engagement shoot! They made our day so much chill and so relaxed. They managed to capture the whole day with such honesty and beauty - the pictures are exactly how we remember it, but with an artist's eye. They even captured moments I didn't think anybody saw (such as me, in my pjs dancing with our ring bearer in the venue). They're also not afraid to try fun things and they pick up on your personal energy - we waded in the ocean for our engagement and I got to climb trees in my wedding dress! So fun and really made our shoots so comfortable and enjoyable. Getting our pictures back was such a special experience and let us relive the best day ever all over again. I couldn't recommend these guys enough. From one Kiwi-USA couple to the next, thank you!!!
My fiance and I are from Seattle but decided to do our engagement photos while in Charleston. With minimal context of the area or recommendations on photographers from people we knew, Nick and his wife were professional and eager to help us find our perfect shots. They took us to gorgeous, unexpected locations, and helped us feel at ease.
Response from the Vendor on 02/01/2020
Thanks so much Carmen!
My husband and I just got married in November of 2019 and last minute had to rush and find a new wedding photographer because our other photographer backed out last minute. We were scrambling to find someone who fit our style and budget and when Kayla of MOD Events suggested Nick and his wife Cushla, we knew immediately after reviewing his work that they were perfect.
We just received our wedding photos, and while I knew they would be incredible, we were completely blown away by how beautiful they turned out!
Nick and his wife were amazing on the day of the wedding, helping to keep the timeline of the day while capturing some beautiful in-between moments and gorgeous portraits. We had so much fun with them during our sunset photos after the ceremony and they were extremely professional with our families, making sure to round everyone up to get all the photos we wanted!
We can't stop looking at the photos and have cried and laughed over how awesome they are and of the moments that were captured.
I would highly recommend them to any bride and groom!
I can't recommend Nick enough. I knew the minute I saw his instagram and website that he was the one I wanted for our wedding. He and his wife Cushla are an absolute blast to work with, made us feel so comfortable and had us laughing the whole time! The quality of our photos, both engagement and wedding photos, are incredible and not only do we love them but so do our families, friends and other vendors. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who is passionate about his work, aims to make your day perfect and creates amazing photos of you and yours on your big day, Nick is your guy!
Before we got married, my husband and I were thrilled to use Nick as our photographer. We love everything about sunsets and outdoor wedding pictures. Nick had so many amazing pictures on his website that we couldn’t wait! Unfortunately, the one day it rained was our wedding day at an outside venue. I was a little worried to see how everything came out since we couldn’t do anything we wanted. With that being said, I couldn’t be more pleased with our wedding photos. Not only were all our pictures still amazing, (couldn’t even tell it was even raining in the background) we got a unique kissing in the rain photo that many people cannot say they had. Thank you Nick for doing an amazing job!
When you start planning a wedding, you can easily become overwhelmed with the amount of options available to you. Luckily, it didn’t take us very long, after just one visit to their Instagram & website (courtesy of our amazing wedding planner Kala Turpin, of Mod Events), we knew Nicholas Gore Photography was the right fit. The photographs Nick & Cushla create clearly display a mood, a vibe, emotion, and a true impression of the moment being captured. Not to mention an absolute dream-like aesthetic that is shown throughout all of their imagery.
Nick & Cushla worked with us together, they’re a hubs/wifey power couple that is witty, humble, hilarious, and overall just fun loving people. They took our engagement photos and they captured our wedding day. We fell in love with our engagement photos, even capturing a rainbow in the background when we were next to the Charleston Battery. Now, when we tell you we couldn’t wait to get these photos, I mean we both sat up in bed the day after our wedding day at 7am checking to see if we had an email yet (not even kidding!) We couldn’t be happier with how well they captured our day. The photographs enhanced our memories of the day; Nick & Cushla are true artists! Don’t miss out on the chance to work with them - you’ll be cherishing their photos forever!
Our experience with Nicholas Gore Weddings was remarkable! Jeff and I got married at the Restoration Hotel in Charleston in May. Nick and Cushla captured the day truly perfectly. It was unusually hot outside for May, and I was worried we wouldn't be able to get any of the classic outdoor Charleston shots without roasting. Not the case! They had great ideas to get us out and photographed quickly but without sacrificing an ounce of quality. N and C are fun and relaxed but also professional, and have the BEST sense of humor. When we receive the photos we were amazed at how accurately they portrayed the essence of the day - love, fun, laughter, and beauty. The images are stunning. We are so grateful for everything they added to this special time in our lives.
This team blew it out... I MEAN OUT!!!! Of the park with my wedding pics. The editing, personality, responsiveness. It was insane what i got for the price. I have a very high attention to detail and they did not disappoint. When i got my pictures back EVEN the candid shots were on point and crisp. You can literally tell a story of my wedding just through the pics and being that i didn’t have videographer he made it feel like a movie just off of still... I highly recommend his services to any and everyone looking for a photographer anywhere and i mean anywhere!!! Thanks again my wife and family are impressed
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2019
Thanks so much Larry! You guys were awesome!
When my SO and I got engaged, we planned our wedding date around three things: a full moon, high tide, and Nick’s availability. I’d spent several summers assisting local wedding photographers, and Nick’s particular blend of technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and fun always stood out.
Even with our high expectations, we were BLOWN AWAY by our wedding photos. If you’re searching for a wedding photographer in the Charleston area (or beyond!), here are a few things that set Nicholas Gore Weddings apart:
1. Nick and Cushla’s portraits and candids are incredible. In our photos, they not only captured everyone at their best, but used their eye for movement to visualize the sweeping joy we felt from the wide shots, to the intimate portraits.
2. Nick’s a lighting wizard. Natural light, portable studio lights in softboxes, flash – he’s a master of them all. There are a lot of photographers who make great daytime portraits, but few capture the rest of the wedding with equal skill and beauty, especially from a lighting standpoint. Whether your reception is in a dark hall, or somewhere with a crazy mix of colors and light sources (like our oak-canopied and café-lit evening), you can rest assured that everything from sunset glamour shots, to late nights on the dance floor are beautifully and accurately represented. Check out his blog for examples!
3. Nick is SO fast! Big group photos fly by thanks to his expertise, and he can weave through a reception (and a dance floor) like nobody’s business. Plus, he will send you GREAT shots of your groups – not an overwhelming stack of various people blinking or looking away.
4. Last, but certainly not least, Nick and Cushla are insanely fun. You will spend most of your day with your photographers, and it’s a true joy to spend it with people as sweet, witty, and relaxed as N&C. The tone they set was reflected in our photos and in our happy memories, and at least a dozen members of our family and bridal party approached us to say the same.
In short, I cannot recommend Nick and Cushla more highly, and feel so honored to have their stunning work as the document of our wedding day for the years to come!

Thank you so much! I was looking forward to your wedding for ages and it was absolutely perfect. Such a gorgeous location, and you, John and both of your families were incredible. Seriously some of the nicest people I've ever worked with. I can...
't tell you how much I appreciate the kind words. Thanks so much!
Your search stops here!! Nicholas Gore Weddings is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Nick and his wife, Cush, captured both our engagement session and our wedding day. Highly recommend! They are a power team!! My Husband isn't the biggest fan of getting his picture taken but actually enjoyed it because they were so fun to be around. The quality of work is unmatched! You can tell how passionate they are about their work. They didn't miss a moment, detail, or emotion! They really captured us, family, and guest perfectly! Our gallery blew us away!! Nick is really organized and communicates timely. This will easily be one the best decisions you make in the wedding process. Thank you so much! We are so thankful to have these memories captured!!

Thank you so much Natalia!
Nick did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. Both my husband and I are not fans of getting our picture taken, but Nick made it super relaxed and fun. The best part - the pictures were GORGEOUS! A great combination of traditional portraits and amazing candid. Nick was able to perfectly capture the day and all of my favorite moments! Could not recommend his services enough!!!
Nick came highly recommended by my wedding planning, and he is fantastic. After my husband and I looked at Nick’s work on his site and sat down and talked to him, we knew that we absolutely wanted him to capture our special day! Nick and his wife, Cush, could not have been more fun and personable during both our engagement session and on our wedding day! My wedding party and parents both complimented how great they both were on our wedding day! They both made sure to get all the shots that we wanted and so much more! I could not believe how many photos they took throughout the wedding day! They returned our engagement and wedding photos in a timely manner, and they could not be more stunning! People cannot stop raving about them! We will forever be grateful for our beautiful wedding photos to look at to relive our wedding day! I would highly recommend Nick and Cush to any bride looking for a fun couple to work with who will deliver absolutely stunning photos! Thank you Nick and Cush, you guys are the best!
Nicholas Gore and his wife were both amazing to work with. They kept us laughing throughout the entire process. The photos came in a timely manner and looked absolutely beautiful. We are blown away by how amazing they turned out. Would absolutely recommend!

Thanks so much Stephanie!
Nick and Cushla are great! Their prices are very fair, especially considering the quality you get from them! We did an engagement session & wedding pictures with them, and both sets turned out perfect. They're also the coolest people ever, so that's a plus!
Prior to Nick arriving I was one nervous bride to the least! However, as soon as he began his work all my stress and nerves melted away. He was very easy going, funny and had lots of great shot ideas. Our wedding day came with severe Charleston weather, but Nick made the best of it all using the natural light and (very strong) winds to take some gorgeous pictures! He worked very well with the rest of the vendors that he has a great relationship with to capture our day.

Thanks so much Georgia! We definitely had some bad luck with the weather but I'm glad you were happy with how everything turned out. At least we ended up with a beautiful sunset!
Nick was absolutely the BEST! He was so fun to work with on our wedding day. He tells you what to do and loves being creative with fun ideas that turn out SO unique and special! He does NOT just sit there and snap photos.... He’s great both professionally and personally. Having him (and his lovely wife) with us throughout our wedding just added joy to the PERFECT wedding day! Thank you for being part of this special time! Can’t wait to see the final photos!
Wonderful experience! Nick was fantastic, easy going and made the session feel effortless. The photos I received back are beyond beautiful and I am thrilled with them! I cannot wait to be able to show my future husband. The 3.5 hour drive was absolutely worth it!
Pictures were absolutely beautiful, caught so many wonderful moments, and working with them was so easy and fun!
Response from the Vendor on 05/08/2019
Thanks so much Lindsey! We had a wonderful time working with you and John.
We thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of working with Nick and Cushla! We specifically chose him because of his dense and vivid romantic images and of course those killer sunset shots- and man, did he deliver!
We just received our photos back and have looked at them no less than 100 times and each time we notice another detail or candid shot that we love more than the last. They captured every moment of the day perfectly without being intrusive. We truly could not have predicted how beautiful and special all of our photos are, thank you Nick and Cushla!
Nick is absolutely the best!! We originally worked with him for our wedding and engagement photos and just wow! He is a true photographer and makes sure to get the most gorgeous shots on your wedding day! After the wedding we also had Nick do some family photos because we were so happy with how the wedding photos came out. Again, he did not dissapoint! Even with multiple small children and 100 degree heat he made sure we had family photos we will want to show off for ever! Thank you Nick!
A long overdue review! We are so happy we found Nick to photograph our wedding day. We had our engagement photos done and spent two hours getting to know each other. They are so down to earth- we couldn’t stop laughing. We left the shoot feeling like we gained some awesome friends! So when the big day finally arrived, so did these familiar faces with their guidance and sense of humor to make some of the more stressful moments fun and exciting. It was truly a relief to see them. Their attention to each couple is meaningful and you can see the efforts they made in the final product. The photos just represented “us”. Obviously literally, but in getting to know and understand us they knew what backgrounds to use, what to avoid and to focus on which created beautifully captured moments we cannot wait to hang all over our house. HIGHLY recommend! Nick, cushla, thank you so, so much!
I don’t have enough kind words to say about Nick, his wife Cushla, and the second shooter he used at our wedding that would do them any justice. They photographed my bridal portraits and our wedding, all of which blew us away. They perfectly captured our most special moments as well as our personalities all while being super stealthy. I have been pouring over the photos for a year and I still can’t get enough. Everyone that sees the photos are always in awe of them! Nick truly captured all the emotions. Not only are they awesome photographers, they are awesome people and fun to be around during your wedding. Multiple guests commented on how kind and funny Nick was during our reception. All involved were laid back and made us all feel completely at ease. The photos all far exceeded our expectations so I say with complete sincerity — Book Nicholas Gore Weddings — it will be one of the best decisions you make during your wedding planning.
There aren’t words for how perfect Nick made our wedding day. He was so fun to work with from the moment he arrived. He got my bridal party's sense of humor and really went with it. It was very important to us to have a photographer that we were going to feel comfortable and enjoyed working with & Nick couldn't of been a better choice.
Nick's photos came out incredible. He really loves candid shots which captured the true emotion and feeling of each moment. I feel like I am reliving each moment when I look at them. He also gave back SO many photos, most other photographers told me such a lower number that they end up getting back to you.
If you are still looking for a photographer, I really would stop here. Nick made my wedding day something I will never forget, with pictures I will always have to remember.

Thank you so much Laura! Your wedding was SO much fun! In almost 400 weddings I’ve never seen a dance floor that comes anything close to yours!
I was browsing through websites looking for photographers after the ones my wedding planner had suggested failed to impress. When I got to Nick’s website I was immediately sold. Wow! We are 16 hours from Charleston which obviously poses some unique challenges but Nick was great in working out the details. We met he and his wife “Cush” for the first time at our engagement photos where we raced a storm which included a last minute downpour to get some really great pics and then he did our wedding later that same week. They both made us feel so comfortable and we’re just a great couple to work with. The photos were amazing. I wish I could think of a better word since that really doesn’t do them justice. We are soo happy with the results. Nick is truly fabulous at what he does and we were truly blessed to have found him.

Hi Mindy, thanks so much! We had a wonderful time working with on both the beach session and on your wedding day. Wishing you both the best of luck!
My husband and I were referred to Nicholas Gore by our wedding planner, and boy are we glad we were. Our wedding photos are fantastic! We were married beachside in Hilton Head at the Westin on the patio. Nicholas Gore is a lighting master and our sunset beach photos are perfect. He was able to capture every guest’s actions and expressions during the reception, so we have great photos for our memories. After seeing the photos, our families even commented on how much he was able to capture. Nicholas Gore is great and you will definitely not be disappointed with your wedding photos.
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2018
Thanks Jamie! I'm so glad you liked everything. That sunset was incredible and your dance floor was definitely something else!
Nick was amazing! He was funny, professional, and made our day so special! We were very happy with everything and would recommend him to any of our friends in the area.

Thanks so much Kariss. I'm glad we were able to come up to Fort Mill to celebrate with you and Kayla!
YES YES YES YES YES
Nicholas Gore photography was amazing. His style is unlike anyone else. We lived 8 hrs away and unfortunately our venue changed super last minute and he was so easy to contact to make the necessary arrangements. The photography is stunning. Even random strangers who have come across our pictures have raved about them. There were also sooooo many! A single moment wasn’t left out and since we didn’t do a videographer this was really important to us. I would recommend him over and over again to anyone.

Thank you so much Casey! We had a wonderful time working with you, Michael and both of your families. I still can't get over how good that pineapple cake was! I might have to order a couple!
We had the joy of working with both Nick and his wife Cushla for our engagement photos and wedding photos. Nick has such an eye for creative shots and his editing skills are exceptional! We really enjoyed working with them and are so happy with our wedding photos. Can't stop looking at 'em! Book Nick, you won't regret it.
We are very happy that we chose Nick to shoot our wedding. Our decision to use Nick was based on the lighting he used and captured in many of the photos in his portfolio. We were not disappointed, our photos are absolutely beautiful! Nick was also very responsive, friendly and professional. We highly recommend Nick. I hope he captures your day the way he captured ours!
My husband spent a lot of time researching photographers for our wedding-he took one look at Nick's portfolio and the decision was made. Best decision we made! I do not have the words to describe how beautiful our photos turned out. Nick has a great eye for shots and for lighting. He did a great job of capturing all of the moments of our day. So many people have commented on how the photos look like something out of a Bridal magazine.
Nick was wonderful to work with, very responsive to emails. Neither my husband or I love being the center of attention/photographed but Nick did a great job of putting us at ease so we don't have "fake" smiles.
Thank you so much Nick! We absolutely love our wedding pictures.
My fiance and I used Nick for our engagement photos and we are so happy we did! Our pictures turned out great, they are truly breathtaking! He was extremely professional and timely in responding to emails. He and his wife were so fun and easy to talk too it made our experience very enjoyable! We would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for an amazing photographer who produces stunning pictures!
Nick was such an amazing photographer for all of our wedding pictures! He did our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding photography, all for a very reasonable price. All of the pictures he took were amazing. We get so many complements on how great the images turned out! Not only is his photography amazing, but he is so much fun to be around as well. Nick always brings an assistant to help with posing and lighting on all engagement and bridal portrait shoots. His assistant acts as a second photographer for the wedding, as well as assisting with lighting for formal portraits. It was nice being able to get to know him throughout the whole process, and being fully comfortable around him for the wedding photos. We spent most of our time with him laughing and making jokes, which made the photography process fun, and our smiles in our photos genuine. My husband is not one to have pictures taken, but he was fully comfortable during the whole process thanks to Nick. Nick's turnaround time for photos is quick, and you get access to all of your full definition photos through his website. We didn't realize just how high quality the photos were until we got everything printed off for our wedding book, we couldn't have been more pleased with everything. I highly recommend Nick and his team to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
Nick was absolutely amazing. He and his assistant were like ninjas all night getting amazing action shots. One of the best decisions I made and I am thrilled to have such amazing photos capturing this day.
Nick is fabulous. He has huge talent with finding amazing photo opportunities and his work is quite impressive. Additionally, he was very accomodating with our large and very disorganized bridal party and has a great sense of humor!
I cannot be more pleased with my experience with Nicholas Gore Weddings and am so happy that I chose Nick as our wedding photographer! My only regret is that we couldn't use him for engagement photos as well (since we are from Houston). Communication was great - during the booking process and leading up to the wedding he was always quick to get back to me on any questions that I had. To be honest, I am not very comfortable in front of a camera and explained to Nick in his pre-wedding questionnaire that we had a less than stellar engagement session (again, wish I could have used Nick!) But, I was blown away by how comfortable I felt when Nick was shooting our (absolutely fabulous) portraits after the ceremony. I got just want I wanted - breathtaking sunset portraits in beautiful Charleston! Aside from just the portraits, which I could write a whole review on in and of themselves, all of our photos are fantastic (from fun, candid reception photos to touching ceremony photos, etc.) I feel like I'm reliving my wedding when I look through my photos, and since we didn't have a videographer, that is extremely important to me! Lastly, I am blown away by how quickly we received our photos back from Nick - it took only a couple of weeks! Thank you so much Nick!!
If you are looking for an amazing wedding photographer you need to use Nicholas Gore Weddings!!! He is absolutely amazing and so easy to get along with!!! I used him for our engagement photos, bridal and wedding!! Every detail of our day was captured. I am so glad I found him and would recommend him to anyone getting married!!!
FANTASTIC photos and professionalism! Turned out great. Nick was professional throughout our engagement session as well as our wedding day. We could not have asked for a better photog. One slight compliant is that we kept feeling “pulled” from our wedding reception and party to continuously take pictures. While the pictures turned out fantastic, we felt we didn’t get to enjoy our wedding reception as much as we could have. If we were to do this again, we probably would have skipped “reception” photoshoot and paid for a special “wedding attire shoot” with sunsets, etc. That way we could still have great photos, but also could have enjoyed our guests more.
Nick was absolutely wonderful to work with. He makes a busy day very relaxed. I have never been one that likes to take a lot of pictures, but he made it so easy for our wedding party to take pictures with ease. He has amazing creativity, and getting married right by Marion Square was a huge plus with all of the Christmas trees and lights.
I can't put into words how amazing working with Nick is. He's so fun to work with- I think my husband and I laughed the whole time we were taking pictures! Nick did our engagement pictures, which were amazingly perfect, and somehow our wedding pictures were more breathtaking. He managed to perfectly capture our wedding day and I LOVE going back and looking at all our pictures. The photobooth is totally worth it and was such a hit with our guests! Do yourself a favor and go ahead and book Nick!
Photography was the second thing I booked, after booking my venue, so you could say it's pretty important to me! After seeing Nick's work online, it was an easy decision to make. We had a great time taking photos with Nick throughout the whole day. They captured so many touching (and some hilarious) candids, and the portraits are simply works of art. We were able to sneak out of the reception for some night photos, which turned out so beautiful. We are so thrilled with our pictures!!
Nick was absolutely AMAZING! He did our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, and photos the day of our wedding. The photo session after the wedding was quick and easy, yet the pictures were stunning, and we were able to get back to spending time with our friends and families. I would highly recommend him to everyone!
Nicholas Gore is absolutely amazing! We had both the ceremony and the reception at the Gadsden House, so we decided, in addition to the wedding day, we wanted to do day- after pictures around Charleston. He and his assistant were wonderful. They really put you at ease on a day that is usually very stressful. All of the pictures we have seen so far have been absolutely stunning, varing from romantic, to intimate, to just plain magical. They almost have a life of their own. You can tell he has a true passion for what he does. The day after pictures were just as much fun if not more. My husband, who wasn't as excited originally about the day after photo shoot, said he was so happy we did it and would do it again anytime. We laughed almost the whole time, while moving from one location to the next, getting a few sneak peeks of pictures along the way. All of which we loved! I can not say how happy we are that Nicholas was able to do both our wedding day and day after pictures and highly recommend him.

Thanks so much Nicole! We had a wonderful time working with you and Patrick.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer, stop looking and book Nicholas Gore. I've gotten so many compliments on how stunning my wedding photos are. His prices are fantastic and the photo booth was such a huge hit! You can fit about ten people in one photo.
Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2017
Thanks so much Lindsay! We had so much fun working with you down in Beaufort. I'm really glad you liked the Photobooth as well!
Our engagement photos were beautiful! Nicholas Gore was very easy to work with. We have a very tight budget and he was willing to work with us to find something we both could agree to. We received our photos a few days earlier than expected. The colors are vibrant and he really knows his composition and how to utilize the scenery. Most importantly he captured the whimsical and romantic feel that I loved about his portfolio. I could not be happier with our pictures!
