We found Nick through online wedding sites which led us to his personal webpage. After viewing some of his work we liked we reached out to him to set an appointment to meet. He was quick to reply and provided us with very reasonable pricing and... spent an hour with us, pressure free, to go over samples of his work at studio. We could tell Nick clearly has a passion for his work, it is not just a job. He has a variety of works at his studio and when simply asking about one, you could see his eyes light up and recall the photos as if he took them yesterday. The reason we felt that was important was because our wedding is one of our most important days of our lives and we realize that it is not just the quality of the work a photographer does, but also how comfortable you are with that photographer, because you won’t get a true laughing picture by just being told to laugh by the photographer. So overall we picked Nick for his quality, passion and how comfortable we felt with him at our meeting.
A few months later we did an engagement shoot which although a little cold, was actually pretty fun. Nick gave some input but also let us be ourselves. Nick shared some of the photos with us, asked us what kind of style, if any, we wanted to add in the editing which resulted in great photos, just the way we hoped for. We found the engagement shoot to be a good test run before the wedding so we could go over the styles and photos we liked best.
Come wedding day Nick showed up with a second photographer and videographer and the day was full of smiling and laughing, which shows in the photos. That’s not to say there weren’t more serious photos, we had a variety of them. We got photos and videos back in four weeks. He kept us updated, asked for input on editing to ensure we got what we wanted. The day we picked up the photos he shared a little slide show he made for us. My wife was brought to tears because the slideshow really told a story, it was not simply a collection of photos. We were blown away with the total result and while Nick and his team were there to capture the moments of the wedding, they were also an integral part of it and for that we are grateful.
All of that is to say, if you’re looking at his work and interested, reach out to get to know the man behind the camera and see if his style and personality is a fit, because if it is, you’ll end up with some amazing work like we did. Thanks again Nick!
