Nicki Ahrens Photography

d us through each picture! Highly recommend! We are so happy!

oopers. We had an incident with a dog jumping out of a vehicle and Nicki and Liz surrounded me in my wedding dress, assuring the dog wouldn't jump on me! It made for a great laugh! We had several children in our wedding and they did a great job herding them up to the front of the alter. I cannot wait to see the magical moments they captured for our picture perfect wedding. Thank you so much Nicki!

ur first correspondence. After that I knew I could let her take the ball and run with it. She did and we couldn’t have been more pleased been with her photos!

occasions before the wedding to get an idea of exactly what I wanted. On the day of she made sure to get a ton of pictures so that we were guaranteed to have many beautiful photos and we did!

very few weeks and even more frequently as the big day approached. I felt confident I could rely on her, even though we had only met once and exchanged a few emails. On the big day, Nicki arrived early and ready to be where the action was. Her photography captures beautiful candid moments- a quick glance at a loved one, wiping a tear, a spontaneous kiss, a laugh with a friend. So special and meaningful! She also has wonderful ideas for poses and positioning, and knows how to do it quickly and efficiently (especially on a hot summer day!). It's not easy getting forty excited and loud family members to follow directions, but Nicki can do it! Her leadership and expertise ultimately allowed us to really enjoy our day, spend more time with our guests, and cherish special moments together- there's photo evidence of it! Thank you so much, Nicki!

son to take our weddding pictures. They turned out beyond perfect and I will cherish them forever. Nicki is THE BEST!

ievable! In a day that goes so fast, Nicki captures the moments that will last a lifetime.

r and see what she can do. She made everything so easy and stress free for our Fall wedding. The pictures are just breathtaking and I am so happy she was able to capture the essence of the day for us. Thank you Nicki!

; she made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun with her! It definitely shows in her photographs. She is not only an amazing artist but a precious human!! We love you Nicki!! Bridget and Kirk Satterfield Longshot, Mississippi

timeline outlines and some tips for keeping the day going smoothly. When I finally met Nicki, it was like I had known her forever! She is incredibly warm and energetic and was able to keep everyone calm and on task. She even had a checklist of all family shots needed which took stress off rounding everyone up! She pulled us out of our reception for sunset shots, which turned out way beyond any expectations we could have set. We got all of our photos back today and are floored by how beautiful they are. Natural, detailed... they capture our wedding perfectly! THANK YOU, Nicki! I hope our paths cross again!

ay of the wedding, she was all business and was determined to get things done in a timely manner, which I loved! She got our pictures back to us quickly and they are phenomenal. Nicki has become a family friend through our experience with her and I would recommend her to anyone.

the art! The way she had everything organized was wonderful! She was very patient with our pups who are a huge part of the family and was able to get some amazing shots of them with us. The picture quality is absolutely outstanding! Did I mention she even had the picture gallery to me just 6 days after the wedding! That is what you call speedy service. I would highly recommend Nicki for weddings or any occasion!

d not want our pictures to look awkward! From the first time I spoke with Nicki over the phone I knew she was the only choice for us! She is kind, comforting, and her pictures are flawless! She knows how to make the couple relax, feel like you're just hanging out at home, and then produce pictures that perfectly capture your relationship and all the things you love about it. We were so lucky to have her with us on our journey, we will look at these amazing pictures for years to come, and they will always make us happy! Thank you so much Nicki, you rock!

ceremony outside as planned, but when the rain lightened up she would snag us to get pictures outside. It was incredible getting to work with someone who was so intent on making sure we got amazing photographs, no matter the situation. We would suggest her for everyone!

she missed a picture of anything! It was probably harder to pick our favorite pictures from all the amazing ones she took than it was to actually plan the wedding. She did a wonderful job of capturing our special day!

! All my 15 bridesmaids felt the same. She is fun and energetic! You could feel the joy that she has when she's around you. She loves what she does and it shows. She brings out the best in you! We had tears of joy viewing the pictures she captured on our wedding day. We could have not done it any other way. Everything we hoped and dreamed of on this very special day all came through and Nicki's diligence and thoroughness in her work captured them all. The result is priceless! I give her five stars and above!! Thank you Nicki Ahrens Photography!

he knew what we wanted and so we knew what to expect from her. Secondly, on the day she made me feel listened to and beautiful. Thirdly, the photographs from my wedding day are AMAZING. They're artsy and beautiful and the lighting in her photographs was so incredibly. Lastly, SHE IS SO REASONABLY PRICED! We had a tight budget and she was within our budget and still did such an amazing job. Seriously, book Nicki for whatever pictures you need and you'll get amazing pictures as well as a really great person to interact with and work with.

. One thing that Nicki said to me that really stuck is “I don’t consider myself just your photographer, whatever you need on your big day I am here to do!” She absolutely brought that to the table and made sure our day was perfect and stress free. We got so many amazing photos from our wedding and that is solely because Nicki was on top of everything, making sure people were where they needed to be, exactly when they were supposed to be there. She kept us all on a schedule but was calm and collected when the timeline was a bit off and things needed to be rearranged. Not only was she amazing as a person, but our pictures are gorgeous and there are SO MANY. Nicki was the first vendor to the wedding and the last to leave. She captured every single moment and I couldn’t be happier with the product she gave to myself and my husband! Even our guests noted (more than once) how professional, hard-working, and incredibly kind/fun-loving she was. While planning our wedding, everyone’s biggest piece of advice was to make sure you get a great photographer because the pictures are the only thing you can take away from your big day. Nicki gave us great pictures and a great experience! If you want amazing photos and a perfectly stress free day with a truly wonderful person, go with Nicki. You will not be disappointed!

tting with her through email, it was clear that God had specifically arranged this relationship. There were many hurdles in planning this wedding, including my mother undergoing cancer treatment. Nicki was able to take away some of the stress and gave us the immediate feeling that we were in great hands. When my sister (the bride) and I met with her at Starbucks, it was like we had been friends for years. We bonded as sisters in Christ and shared our wedding preparation adventures. Nicki's attention to detail is perfect for what she does. She asks just the right questions to get to know her couple and how best to capture their individual personalities. She has a way of making you feel important and special, not like you're just another day on her calendar. We felt like we were her only client and that all her attention was going to us. My sister and her fiancée were restoring an old farm house on 65 acres and the wedding took place on their land. Nicki made a special trip out to the farm on a Sunday to walk around and chat. She definitely goes that extra mile for her clients. On the wedding day, she helped to keep us calm by encouraging and lending a hand wherever she could. She understands that you can only plan so much and then you have to go with the flow. Nothing felt stressful with Nicki. She's there for you but also not there; hidden but always standing right behind you for whatever you need. She puts on her authoritative hat for those family photos when it feels like you're trying to corral children. And then she fades into the background to capture whatever happens (including the horses escaping their paddock and running through the wedding field) - there goes Nicki, chasing after them thinking it was the best thing ever. The first picture we received was absolutely gorgeous! She has a talent and an eye for the little things that make a photograph really pop. Anyone can take a picture, but not everyone can capture a moment. And that's her objective from the first click of the shutter - to capture the moments and emotion of such a special day.

ncer, she bent over backwards to work us into her schedule and make our memories something we will always have to concretely remember Ruth and Todd's special day. Nicki is fun, professional, easy-going, efficient, perfectly created for the work God has called her to do. Thanks Nicki!

events, especially weddings because they're the most fun. She captured every moment just as I imagined it, and all the pictures turned out fantastic.

l the important memories I want captured

out to be an incredibly warm person. Talking to Nicki on phone for the first time put all my worries away. During the day of the wedding Nicki came 2 hours early to scout the area for places to shoot at. She stayed longer than the allotted time we agreed upon and took incredible pictures nonstop. Nicki was very engaging with my entire guest and venue host. Was very professional and worked well with all the vendors. The turn around for the pictures was quick, three weeks the most and oh my… once we got the gallery, I could not stop crying. Nicki captured all the emotions of the day. Every time I looked at my pictures, it brought me back to that special day and seeing how happy and full of love everybody was for my husband and I. I consider myself blessed to have found Nicki to capture the moments. Her pictures are soft and have a very romantic feel, which I love. In fact we love her pictures so much we had our family Christmas pictures taken by her already. Nicki is a gifted photographer who puts her subjects at ease with her directions as she takes her shots. Coupled with her warm and happy personality, the combo yields incredibly beautiful pictures in my opinion. I found our family photographer in Nicki and I can’t wait for her to take more pictures as our family grows over the years. Lulu Pace
