Nicki Lynn Photography

oot in February @ Taylor’s Falls. It was freezing and the snow was up to our waists, but she was a full force of energy. She will do anything for a shot and I was right there (mostly) with her ;). What was supposed to be a 1 hour session turned into an all afternoon session because she was so determined to get that perfect golden hour shot. And I am SO grateful that she did. My husband was not amped about taking pictures either and she made him so comfortable and walked him through each shot. For our wedding, I gave some ideas and shots I was looking to get. Nicki then turned around and made the most beautiful timeline I’ve ever seen. Everything was scheduled to a T and it was extremely helpful for our wedding party. Nicki was almost 9 months pregnant and it rained allllllll day, but you would of never known it. She did not let anything (or any weather) stop her. Our photos are beautiful and perfect and she went above and beyond. We WILL be using Nicki in the future for every life event. There is no question, book her now. -Elizabeth & Tenner Stoe

hotos! She not only has great work she also helped me through the whole planning process by creating the best timeline, giving suggestions and helpful information through out our engagement. Our whole wedding party had a great time with Nicki and we got so many compliments on her and our photos! If you want a fun, professional and amazing photographer Nicki is your gal!

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! - Christopher and Laura Melby

my eye was her attention to detail, how timeless her photographs look, and as weird as it sounds I could sense her passion through the photos. From our very first phone conversation, Nicki has proven time and time again to be the best decision we made when it came to the wedding. From the time we booked her to our wedding day, Nicki wore so many hats. She made an amazing timeline (which she executed to a T), she was the best therapist (weddings are stressful), she offered so many suggestions when it came to other vendors, but most importantly she genuinely felt like a friend. I felt that she was treating my wedding like it was hers, meaning I know she had so many other clients at the same time, but I always felt she was 110% there for me and my husband. My husband and I absolutely hate being the center of attention and getting our photos taken, but Nicki just brought out the best in us. We never once felt awkward. Nicki is so extremely talented and knows how to capture pure raw emotion. Like I alluded to earlier, typically my husband and I hate photos of ourselves, but every single one we received from Nicki we were absolutely obsessed with. We want Nicki to be our photographer for every major life event going forward, not only because she is that talented but also because we want an excuse to see her again. Please, do yourself a favor and book Nicki. I also want to give a shout out to her second shooter Miranda who is as just as amazing as Nicki. She has such an easy-going personality. She had my husband and his groomsmen wanting to take more pictures because that is how fun she is!

dition to being a wonderful photographer, she acted as our therapist and eased our minds throughout the whole planning process. She took our phone calls at weird times due to our crazy schedule and always made us feel calmer. Our wedding day came with some bumps (timeline issues, wind, rain, etc.), but our pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined. She came prepared with clear umbrellas and they are some of my favorite pictures!! She was also able to keep some rowdy groomsmen in check and deal with our large wedding party. She knew what was most important to us (our dog ☺) and made sure to include him on our big day. We cannot say enough good things about Nicki. Our photos are beautiful and we cannot stop looking at them!! We constantly get told how amazing they are and we 100% know they are the best. One the best decisions we made was having her capture our day and we would recommend her to anyone. I could honestly go on, but we would just like to end it with…WE LOVE YOU NICKI!!!

to make the day go smoothly and fun. Nicki went above and beyond on the whole event. Cannot wait to see our photos. The few that we got to see before editing even were breathtaking. Highly recommend Nicki for anyone to utilize.

ht she was great, as well! We just got our wedding pictures back a couple weeks ago, and they are everything we wanted and more! She captured so many timeless moments, and I will cherish these forever. I heard so many times during wedding planning that it was so important to hire a great photographer, and I would recommend Nicki to anyone currently planning their wedding!!

ble and beautiful in your own skin. Nicki was very organized and kept us on track all day, and took every single shot we requested. I have a large family too with many kids 10 and under so this is no easy feat! What I love about Nicki's photography style is that she captures the day exactly how it looked. She has a knack for finding the most beautiful lighting and she found the best spots at our venue for our photos. I love that seemingly every shot is in a different location. Most of all, Nicki has the God given ability to capture moments. We will treasure our wedding photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Nicki!!!

out the daily itinerary, helped coordinate everything, always was prompt with answering my questions, and took AMAZING pictures. She really knows how to capture great pictures no matter what the lighting or weather is and got great shots that truly captured our emotions throughout the day. Even when her time was up on our wedding day, she was literally on her way to her car to leave and saw the beautiful sunset appearing, and came BACK to take some gorgeous shots with us & the sunset. THAT is dedication & someone who goes above and beyond your expectations. Do yourself a favor and hire this amazing photographer for your wedding, you won't regret it!

husband was dreading taking engagement photos because he's shy and she did a great job bringing him out of his shell. By the time we got to our wedding day, he wasn't even nervous anymore. On our wedding day, she arrived earlier than we had discussed to scope out the area and to get some pictures of the venue. She has a great eye for detail and for lighting. I'm obsessed with the lighting in all of our photos. The day of our wedding was extremely hot and Nicki and her SS hiked all over the venue with us and our wedding party. They were both encouraging and truly lovely to work with. I would highly suggest booking with this amazingly talented woman! You definitely will not regret it!

with every couple she shoots for. I was lucky enough to have 3 different occasions to work with Nicki- the engagement session, wedding day, and wedding boudoir photos (which if you’re looking for a wedding gift for your husband- they’re a total hit)! I will be referring all friends and future engaged family members to her!

wers to us! She's such an amazing person, and her talent for perfect photos is just beyond belief. Every time we were with Nicki was a hilarious fun time that ended with gorgeous photos. If you book with Nicki I promise you will have amazing photos and a fun time! You will not be disappointed with Nicki. I will be booking with her for all photos in the future!

me beautiful moments for my husband and I to look back on. She had photographed at my venue before, and knew all of the perfect spots for great photos. My husband and I were very thankful for her hard work. I highly recommend Nicki to anyone looking for photography services in this area. Thank you!

d that!

leased with our engagement session, which made me even more excited for our wedding. And let me say, she ROCKED it! It was pouring rain and she came prepared; umbrella, poncho, rain boots and all... but our pictures are flawless!!! Nicki and her second shooter were so friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!!! :)

ce our favorite day over and over! We got lucky with Nicki!

s. We are so happy we chose her to capture our special day.

otographer, Nicki Lynn Photography was the first that came to mind. Nicki’s photography captures not only the people in the photo but the details and emotions of the day. From getting ready in the morning, to the first look, the ceremony, reception, and dance, I was able to see though Nicki’s beautiful work, the happiness and excitement on people’s faces, the most intimate details of the day, and the love that surrounded us on our perfect day. Nicki is willing to do anything to get the perfect picture and she laughs doing it! You can tell Nicki loves her job of capturing the most important days for her clients. She is flexible, the picture quality is amazing, and her personality is unbeatable. We are so happy that we went with Nicki Lynn Photography. Our pictures are gorgeous and the memories of our day will be with us forever!

our wedding date available. She immediately calmed my nerves by being so accommodating and responding quickly. Throughout the entire process, Nicki was incredible. She has such a warm, bubbly personality and was so helpful by answering ALL of the questions I had and giving suggestions on our wedding day timeline. The details were extremely important to me, and Nicki shared my excitement about my gown and veil and the photographs I envisioned with them. Being a plus size girl, I was worried I wouldn't like how I looked in my photos. Nicki was a pro at capturing photos from the perfect angles and positions in our engagement and wedding photos. Every bride should be able to see how beautiful they were on their big day, and Nicki did that for me. When I look at our pictures, all I see is happiness and joy. Our wedding photos perfectly captured our day and our love and Nicki helped make it a stress free process and day. Our second shooter, Brooke, was so sweet as well and was able to capture some adorable photos of our uncooperative 3 year old niece. I have recommended Nicki to every bride I've spoken with because of my experience and how beautiful our photos turned out. If you are on the fence about going with Nicki Lynn Photography, I say do it...you won't regret it!

o our wedding day and beyond, she was extremely responsive to my emails and questions and always provided great feedback. She went above and beyond for our engagement session and wedding day. She has great organizational skills which made everything go smoothly the day of the wedding. Her personality is infectious to be around which made our wedding party very comfortable. She has a great eye for detail and is very talented, and this is clearly demonstrated in her work. I can't wait to use her in the future! She is truly wonderful!!

angles and saved precious wedding day time by having the bridesmaid and groomsmen photos taken at the same time. Nicki was on point throughout the day, capturing all the special moments, and even helping some family members take better group pictures. She added her own artistic touches by bringing personalized items with our names on them and a bridal hanger for the wedding gown. She is exceptionally talented with lighting. Our photos were outdoor for the ceremony, indoor for the reception, and outdoor again for golden hour photos on the beach. Nicki added some black and white photo options to our digital album and they are absolutely beautiful. She delivered the final product in a gift box that included the flash drive, a personalized thank you note, and his and her mini champagne bottles. Nicki has a sweet personality that allows everyone to relax and be in the moment. This is reflected in her photographs. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicki Lynn Photography. If you get the chance to book her for your wedding, it will be a gift to yourself during the planning process.

auty. We are so lucky to have had Nicki as our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos and can't wait to have her in the future capturing beautiful moments of our family. Last thing, I can't forget her assistants. She sure knows how to pick a great crew to work with her. A lot of fun, talented crew Nicki has. Thanks again for everything Nicki.

anyone looking for a photographer!

erything--I knew I was in great hands when I chose her! Our pictures are simply stunning, and I'm so thrilled with her work I know I'll contact her again in the future!

extremely responsive and well organized. As for the wedding day, Nicki and Brooke (second shooter) truly captured the essence of our day. Nicki and Brooke did not just take photos - they captured moments. They also had a great eye for unique detail shots. Not only is Nicki a talented photographer, but she was also a pleasure to be around. She had a wonderful personality to make you feel calm and at ease. We are so glad we found Nicki Lynn Photography and we are so lucky she was available for our day. With the photos that were captured, we will remember our perfect day for a lifetime. Nicki, you have exceeded all our expectations at our wedding. The guests feel the same and have given many compliments. We will definitely use Nicki Lynn Photography again as Nicki is dedicated to providing you the highest quality photographs. Thank you for providing a first class experience. Nicki is simply amazing!

nvenient to be able to communicate via email (as we all have busy schedules) . From our engagement session to our wedding day we are more than impressed with Nicki's skill, her work has created lifetime memories for us and we will never be able to thank her enough! The day of our wedding, Nicki was professional, but also so much fun. She truly cares about the bride and groom, wanting to make sure every moment is captured and that we got the absolute most out of her services. We are forever grateful to have been blessed with Nicki Lynn Photography to capture our special day!

mount of time!!! The rest of our package was so perfect. I am so glad we have those memories captured forever. She is so talented, anyone would be lucky to have her to capture their special moments!

ssistant did a wonderful job. My husband and I both hate getting our pictures taken, and we are both known for our awkward smiles, but they were able to capture the most genuine pictures. We both felt so comfortable the entire day. We love each and every picture. We are so thankful because Nicki went above and beyond. Not only did she give us a free second photographer for part of the day, she started her day early and ended way later just so she could capture all of these important moments. Certain people you can just tell are good people. Sincere people. She is this person, and she has a passion as well as a gift. Thank you so much for everything you did for us!!

She took note of the photographs that were most important to us and captured many details of our ceremony and reception. She had an ease to her, which made everyone comfortable, cheerful, and relaxed. She did an excellent job!
