Nicole Leever Photography

ent so you don't miss out on much time away from your guests and we got so so many photos back (way more than expected) and they all were incredible! We are so grateful we worked with Nicole, she captures things more beautiful than I think anyone else could do.

nted. She kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed, helped in any way she could, and made us laugh all day. And the photos turned out amazing! She captured every moment with such beauty and emotion. We loved getting to know her and already can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

We set up an intro call with Nicole to hear how she works and what a typical wedding day looks like. Right away, we loved her energy. Her pricing felt super reasonable too. On the big day, she showed up a little early and just jumped in. She worked the whole thing solo and somehow managed to be totally professional while also super chill and easy to be around. It honestly felt more like a friend helping us out. Within minutes, we knew we’d made the right call. She made us feel calm and totally taken care of, and everything turned out great. It also happened to be 106 degrees that day. She was out there carrying a bunch of cameras, flying a drone (such a fun bonus), and acting like the heat didn’t even bother her. The schedule kept shifting a bit, but she rolled with it and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. She had a full list of family combos and stayed on top of it. She even showed us a few sneak peeks during the day, which got us even more excited to see the rest. Nicole brought the best energy. She was fun, kept us grounded, and just felt like someone you’d actually want to hang out with on your wedding day. She also had this great way of catching real moments and emotions without anyone noticing. Some of our favorite photos are little interactions between us or with guests that we totally would’ve forgotten if she hadn’t caught them. She also reminded us to breathe and slow down, and helped us shake off nerves more than once. And the final photos? Stunning. They totally matched the vibe we’d seen in her past work. She sent over a bunch of previews just days after the wedding, right when we were feeling that post-wedding crash. It gave us such a boost. The full gallery came sooner than we expected and was super easy to go through. She gave us a ton of photos, including so many great candids and moments we didn’t even realize happened. She was great at giving just the right amount of direction too. She’d check our outfits and give little cues to help us look relaxed, not stiff. Every now and then she’d have us do something goofy, like a silly kiss or a fake dance that felt kind of awkward in the moment. But the photos turned out awesome. She knew exactly what she was doing. We usually try to be balanced in reviews, but honestly? We’ve got nothing to critique. Nicole crushed it. She showed up solo, nailed it in wild heat, and was just a joy to have around. We loved her. We'd work with her again in a second. Highly, highly recommend.

raphy style I was going for did not match the style of the original photographer I’d booked. After quite a bit of research, I found Nicole’s work and immediately reached out. She was so kind and understanding to the situation, and we decided to proceed as soon as we learned she was available for our weekend. We booked Nicole for our ceremony and reception as well as our traditional Chinese tea ceremony the following day. Not only did the photos turn out incredible, Nicole was so great in person and made every single guest feel at ease. She was such a special part of the weekend and we have looked back at our photos constantly since we got them back – thank you Nicole for capturing the best weekend of our lives!
