Nikki did an awesome job for our wedding! She was able to get all of our special grouping we wanted! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great photographer!
Working with Nicole April Photography was the best decision we made! She made our engagement shoot a breeze because of how comfortable she made myself and my husband feel right awa...
y! When it came to our wedding photos, not only did we receive them back so quickly, they were beyond our wildest expectations! She was a joy to work with, extremely professional, captured every moment so perfectly, and every photo is so crystal clear, I could even read my bridesmaids name on her necklace all the way down the 200 ft aisle! Truly could not recommend her enough!
Nikki was my day-of coordinator this past Sept and she was amazing! Leading up to the big day I had a few meetings with her via phone and she was so informative and organized. She ...
made an itinerary based on my preferences and the day went perfectly. When it came to some last minute layout/décor details, I left them up to her judgment and my reception looked even better than I imagined. She takes the stress right out of the day as a bride. I highly recommend Nikki!
We discovered Nikki through The Knot website. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. Nikki was incredibly responsive and also extremely accommodating for our intimate weddi...
ng. She guided us through all the details and offered valuable suggestions to ensure our day ran smoothly. On the big day, Nikki arrived early and scouted out the best spots for our photos. She helped us stick to our timeline, even with a shortened schedule due to the weather. And despite the challenging weather, she captured all the main portrait shots and more before the downpour hit. Her ability to find the perfect lighting and background locations was impressive. She made us and all the guests feel so at ease throughout the day. Following the wedding, with a quick turnaround time, we received a stunning collection of images that we were absolutely thrilled with! The quality and editing were top-notch. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to others looking for the perfect wedding photographer.
We could have never asked for a better photographer. Nikki made us feel comfortable from the first time we met her at our engagement session. Our pictures are amazing and we have r...
eceived complements from everyone how well they came out. We will be using Nikki for all our life moments going forward and we recommend everyone to do as well!
Nicole was the absolute best. For someone who never knows how to pose for a photo she breaks it down like it’s nothing and makes it feel effortless. 10/10 couldn’t have asked for m...

Nicole was such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. She made everyone feel relaxed, she was unobtrusive, and let the day flow naturally. With so many details and emotion ...
the photos were absolutely stunning. We can't thank you enough for capturing our special day!!
Nikki did such an amazing job capturing our wedding. A complimentary engagement shoot was included in our package and my husband and I were nervous about getting our pictures taken...
but she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera on a cold windy day in early March. She documented every detail of our wedding beautifully and I will cherish the memories forever. She is down to earth, professional, and her passion for photography truly shows in her work. If you book her you will not regret it. Thankyou Nikki!
Absolutely wonderful and talented photographer! She captured our wedding night beautifully and we could not be happier with them! Amazing direction and just all around the best exp...
erience with Nikki. We’ll be booking our maternity photos with her when the time comes!!😂🫶🏻
She also has sneak peaks for you SO FAST! And she got our entire gallery done way before she estimated! It really shows how much she loves her work and cares about your day! The best!! I wish we could give her a million stars.
Hire this woman! She is incredible!! She was a photo ninja — always right there taking a photo before we could even ask. She captured the emotion in peoples’ eyes, chose the most s...
pectacular lighting and on top of all of that she was also super kind and warm and made us feel so comfortable (we are not picture people - yet with her we had fun!! )
Nicole is an absolute pleasure to work with! She traveled out to the woods with us on an extremely cold February day to do a winter photo shoot for our engagement shots, which ende...
d with some snow squalls, and produced some really incredible shots! A few months later she did a walk through with us at our venue to navigate the lighting for that time of year and made sure we discussed everything we wanted to capture on our wedding day. Nicole is very detail oriented and goes above and beyond to understand your desires and vision for the day. She's committed to delivering high quality photos that bring memories back to life. She brought such a calming presence on the day of the wedding, as we were running a little behind, but reassured me that we still had time to get all the shots we were hoping to. She certainly did not disappoint! Thank you so much Nikki for capturing all the wonderful memories that are going to last us a lifetime!
Nikki was truly amazing to work with. During our engagement photo shoot she really got to know us as a couple and made us feel completely at ease. We were nervous because my husb...
and and I are not photogenic, but Nikki worked her magic and the photos came out fantastic!
For our wedding we wanted to capture the carefree style of the ceremony and reception. Nikki did exactly that! She took all the formal photos that we wanted as well as many candid photos of our guests to show the true spirit of the day. There was so many things we didn't see because we were busy with wedding duties, however we were able to experience them through the pictures Nikki took.
Nikki is relatable, will adjust to your needs, and make you feel completely at ease for your photos. Thanks Nikki!!
Nicole is a rare find in a photographer. She is so patient, our toddler was with us in both the engagement shoot and the wedding. Nicole was amazing with her, she went with the flo...
w and was very easy going. She is so funny, she had us laughing all day long - both purposely for photos but also just her personality had us feeling so light and silly. She also gives such incredible attention and direction. She knew exactly how she wanted us to pose or what to do and she was incredible at telling us what she wanted us to do. Of all of my wedding vendors she was the only one who made me feel completely at ease. She showed me a few shots at the wedding and I literally said to myself ‘is that me?!’ They are so beautiful, I can’t wait to see how they turn out! She’s developed a beautiful hobby that she is insanely talented at. We can’t thank you enough for all of your time and effort!
Nikki is absolutely incredible! What drew our attention was her transparency through her website! She’s down to earth, honest, relatable and most importantly super talented. She tr...
aveled to Lake George in the bitter cold to do an engagement shoot and then traveled back to lake George on 8-14-22 in the hot sun to photograph our wedding! Her photos are incredible! Like from a magazine! Thank you so much Nikki!

If I could give Nicole 10stars I would. I cannot say enough about her service. I found Nicole through Facebook and originally booked her for a short engagement session. The photos ...
turned out so good I quickly booked her for my wedding the following year . I am one of those people who think I look bad in every photo and I mostly shy away from taking them. I couldn't pick out a single photo that I did not like out of our photos. Our wedding photos turned out even better. I had 50 sneak peak photos done literally that same night. The morning after the wedding we met at the hotel and she showed them all to me before we went on the honeymoon. Which brings me to my next point, she travels ! I always heard horror stories from brides not getting their photos for weeks , bad communication etc. Nikki is not to be worried about at all . I will be hiring her for every life event from here on out . Book her ASAP!!! You will not be sorry!
