What more can we say about Nicki besides WE LOVE HER!
When my husband and I were doing our research on photographers for our wedding, we knew we wanted someone who made the color of the pictures look more natural compare to editing them too "wa...rm" or too "cool". We stumbled upon Nicki's page on The Knot, checked out her website and were impressed!
When we had gotten ahold of Nicki to gather some information, we could tell she was going to be easy to work with. She was very responsive with her emails and just how she communicated with us, you could tell this was her true passion.
Nicki was at the time living in St. Cloud, Minnesota and we were wanting to have our engagement photos taken in Winona, but she didn't mind the 3-4 hour drive since she use to live in Winona and knew of the good spots for pictures. When we met her in, of course, the Target parking lot (one fact about Nicki is she LOVES Target), the very first thing she says to me is "Hey girlfriend, ready to party?!"...we knew she was already going to be the perfect match for us! Going into our engagement photos, my husband and I were a bit nervous cause we weren't sure how to act when taking these pictures. Nicki was right off the bat making us laugh, smile and kiss a million times. She made it so fun and easy to do!
The day of our wedding she was prompt on time, again coming from the St. Cloud area, and was ready for the day. She is pregnant with her second child and was a trooper walking all over Minneapolis and dealing with the humidity to capture the beauty of our day. Nicki was there majority of the day and was able to capture the important details as well as the fun details of our day. She was able to keep things moving in a timely matter, but yet was able to make all of us have fun and feel comfortable around her. We truly love Nicki not only as our photographer for our wedding, but as a friend :) We are sad to see Nicki be living in Illinois now, but know she is going to get the perfect clientele in that area. Once my husband and I start to have a family of our own, we already know who will be capturing our maternity and family photos :)
Thank you so much, Nicki, for literally being perfect from the inside and out. You were so amazing to work with and we can't wait to work with you again in the future!
