Nichole Haun Photography made my wedding day perfect. I could not be happier with how amazing all my pictures turned out. She not only took breathtaking photos of my husband and I, but she also did such a great job taking photos of all my gue...sts- which made everyone happy (especially my parents)!
My wedding was very unique in that my parents are of Afghan heritage and my husband is American. Therefore, while my wedding was geared towards the Afghan culture, I had to still incorporate many American traditions-which made everything so much more difficult.
Nichole did not have prior experience in photographing an Afghan wedding and as most know, many ethnic weddings (Afghan, Persian, Indian, Bengali, etc.) have a lot of details that we all want captured. Nichole did an excellent job of capturing both the traditional Afghan parts of my wedding as well as the American aspects of it (which I do not believe is an easy task): she met with me well in advance of my big day and asked me detailed questions about the day of my event-especially regarding the Afghan traditions. She took detailed notes and really tried understanding what the meaning behind each traditional ceremony/event was. Even if Nichole has not had the experience photographing one of your ethnic weddings before- don't worry, because she will still do an amazing job! She listens and takes detailed notes and is very attentive to the bride- because of this she is able to capture the traditional aspects of a wedding,exactly as they are suppose to be captured.
I changed a lot of things last minute (as far as when certain traditional events occurred) but she handled it all so well.
On the day of my event, she showed up to my hotel room earlier than was planned and took such great pictures of me getting ready. Then we had a photography session at the hotel (since it was raining and dark outside) before going to the venue. My husband is not very good at posing for pictures and hates being photographed but Nichole was so easy and great to work with, that she made the experience great for my husband, as well.
I think the best part about my experience with Nichole was that I did not hire a videographer for my wedding- which I regretted every day since my wedding. Then I received all my pictures from Nichole and both my husband I felt that we literally re-lived everything about our wedding through the photos. After seeing all the photographs, I felt fine as far as not hiring a videographer since Nichole (through her photography) captured my entire event so well!
I also felt like I was working with a friend I had known for many years. She has an amazing personality and my family and friends all loved her as well.
I cannot wait for other huge events in my life, because I will definitely use Nichole Haun Photography to capture such moments. I HIGHLY recommend her and her staff. You will not be disappointed.
