AWARD WINNER (1X)

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

With more than a decade of experience shooting wedding celebrations of all kinds, Nicole (she/her) works collaboratively with her couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again. Before the day arrives, she gets to know her couples and what matters to them. Having photographed more than 200 weddings, she has mastered the ability to create a comfortable experience for those in front of my camera. By guiding her couples - not posing them - and acting as an engaged observer, she captures the energy and feel of the moment - without disrupting it. An empath by nature, she also keeps a pulse on what her clients might need or want at any point, and she is a source of calm, grounding energy that allows them to be present and experience the day fully.

Nicole

Owner

I have lived and breathed photography as a means of knowing and preserving the moments of life since I got my first camera. Professionally, I earned a Masters in Media Studies from the New School, where I honed my documentary photography skills, and I learned the technical side of things as a photo assistant for big name portrait and product photographers in NYC. Today, I have shot more than 200 weddings, and my compassion for humans and how they love continues to grow. It is a privilege to be invited in, to watch and listen, and to create for the couples who trust and collaborate with me.

Having Nicole photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! She made everything feel so easy and fun. From the start of the day she took control over the schedule and made me feel so at ease (As a bride -THANK YOU). The whole night was so perfect and she made sure we were having a good time, and that my husband and I had moments together just us two. Knowing that Nicole had our best interest in mind that night made everything go so smoothly and we were able to focus on having a blast the entire night! I cannot recommend Nicole enough!

Nicole was wonderful to work with from start to finish! She provided great support throughout the process and took the time to get to know us ahead of the wedding (as we had already done engagement photos prior to booking wedding vendors). She was timely in her communications, flexible/adaptable for any changes, and was a calming support for me on the wedding day itself. We had just a few ideas on some photos we wanted and left the rest up to her. The photographs done by her and Beth came out amazing and truly reflected how much love, fun, and joy was experienced that day. One of my bridesmaids said she thought it was cool to see Nicole start grooving to the music during the reception before getting a shot - like immersing herself in the experience - to get the right kind of shot at that time (and all the times)!

Nicole was absolutely the best! She guided us through every step of the day, keeping us organized and on schedule while making us feel completely at ease. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the genuine, candid moments made each photo feel so special. Not only was she incredibly professional, but she was also such a calming presence, which made a big difference on such a busy day. The photos turned out more beautiful than we ever imagined, and we’re so grateful for her talent and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, there is no one better than Nicole. I was eager to write a review for Nicole. Simply put, Nicole was the key behind our wedding day being so successful and everything we imagined. From our engagement session, to the planning for the wedding, to the execution the day of, hiring Nicole was one of the best decisions we made in regard to our wedding day. When Nicole arrived at the bridal suite on the wedding day, she immediately put me at ease. She was busy finding the perfect backdrop for detail shots, knowing exactly how to hang dresses for the perfect photo, and scouring our airbnb for the right lighting. Nicole has both an eye for seeing what a shot can be and then executing that shot, which really struck me throughout my wedding day. Additionally, Nicole was able to capture us at our best–not overly staged versions of us, but genuinely how we interact as people. Nicole is the photographer you want with you on your wedding day. While you should no doubt hire Nicole for her photography, it was her people skills and ability to put us at ease that also contributed to the seamlessness of the day. Nicole navigated all situations with grace, kept us to the timeline, and ensured we had a moment to breathe/laugh/drink water,etc. I am so grateful I was able to hire Nicole for my wedding day. Her photos will fill my home for years to come. Her technical ability, eye for a shot, and easy-to-be around personality are all reasons you should hire her for your big day. I can’t thank her (and second shooter Amanda!) enough for everything they put into my wedding day. I look forward to working with Nicole again and again in the future.

response 10/15/2024

Ahhh, such an honor to be a part of your day! DEFINITELY stay in touch - I'm in your neck ...

of the woods often and we should at least grab coffee! xoxoxo and hugs to you both!

Would give 100 stars if I could - Nicole is so incredible at what she does I could not have been happier to have her as my wedding photographer. From our engagement session to our wedding day, she was so communicative and made the process fun and easy. On the day of our wedding, she really helped the day take direction guiding my husband and I into what we needed to do next/what shots to capture and giving us much needed guidance on how to pose to make the shots look natural/beautiful. Everyone in my wedding party also talked about how wonderful Nicole and Amanda were to have day of the wedding. They were so open to different shots that I was hoping to get, and also had so many ideas of what would look nice/where to take photos. When I received the photos, I was blown away- she beautifully captured the special moments and emotions of our wedding day, and the photos are absolutely magical. Nicole is incredibly talented, and I truly could not recommend her enough.

Wonderful to work with! She was very personable and removed the ‘stuffy ness” of formal photos. She was very accommodating to specific shots we wanted and was very creative in her own list. We had opted to do our engagement photos with her as well and we were not disappointed! She had you fill out questionnaires so she can get to know you better and figure out what is important/not. She came to the house to take getting ready photos then went to the venue to take groom shots and details. Due to the number of people in attendance we decided to have a second shooter accompany the wedding. Both woman were amazing and did a great job capturing all our special moments

We are so fortunate to have worked with Nicole for our July 2023 wedding! Her work speaks for itself, of course - we were immediately drawn to her eye for perspective, the natural look she achieves, and her elegant but unpretentious style - but what we didn’t expect was how clutch she’d be as a partner and a presence on a crazy, overwhelming day. We did both an engagement photo shoot and wedding photography with Nicole. From the very beginning, she made sure to learn about us and our preferences, and when the big days came, she was prepared, fun, flexible, and supportive. She always had a plan - but she could turn on a dime if we wanted something else (or if an unexpected opportunity for a great shot appeared, which is how we ended up with an awesome save the date photo on a lifeguard stand at sunset). On our wedding day, we worked with both Nicole and Amanda, and their A+ communication skills and endless patience put us at ease when it felt like we were juggling a million things. They managed to be everywhere and nowhere all at once. What I mean is, we have so many amazing photos from so many perspectives and so many different special moments, but not once did we feel like we were being stage managed or intruded on during a private moment. When we got our full album back, we were blown away by how many favorites we had, and how many moments we could relive. Thank you for being you throughout our special day Nicole!

We feel so lucky to have found Nicole! She is so talented with capturing energy and emotion in her work and we can't stop laughing and smiling when we look at our photos. She made everyone feel comfortable and confident and helped us to organize our day when we didn't have a wedding planner. Hands down would pick her to capture every moment you want to remember.

Nicole photographed our wedding in October and was amazing--we can't recommend her highly enough! She made us, our family, and our friends feel very at ease. She was incredibly responsive throughout the process, answering all of our questions and paying attention to even the smallest details we noted. She captured the day exactly the way we wanted, from more formal photos to candid shots.

We worked with Nicole for our engagement photos and wedding photos and I am so happy that we found her. She (and our second photographer, Amanda) went above and beyond for the entire day making sure my husband and I had everything we needed and our photos came out absolutely stunning. She was quick to communicate throughout our entire wedding planning process and made sure no questions went unanswered. Our photos are absolutely stunning. Nicole, we can’t thank you enough!

You both are awesome! Thank you so much Jamie! Hope you had a wonderful honeymoon!

Nicole was an absolute joy to work with. She made us feel comfortable being in front of the camera and was fun to be around for the whole day! She went above and beyond even helping me bustle my dress multiple times. Nicole is incredibly talented and our photos are amazing.

Working with Nicole and her team was the best! The photos of our wedding day are simply amazing -- capturing so much joy with such an eye for color, nature, and sweet details like people holding hands during our wedding ceremony. She was also a pleasure to work with: fun and funny in a way that put us at ease, she was also the perfect combination of organized and flexible -- making it easy for us to relax and just enjoy our wedding day. She even had snacks on hand and gave me some of a home-made power bar when my stomach started growling during our wedding day pictures. She was also the easiest of any of our vendors to coordinate with. She had an easy to navigate website and payment system that made all the logistical details in the lead-up to the wedding a breeze. We'd highly recommend her to anyone whether you're in RI or elsewhere (she traveled to NH for our wedding).

Wedding planning is full of so many taxing decisions. Looking for an easy one? Hire Nicole. We could not have been more elated with her professionalism, her flexibility, her positive attitude and sense of humor, and above all, her photos. Easily the best decision we made in our whole planning process.

Nicole was absolutely incredible from start to finish- she immediately made us feel comfortable from the first time we spoke, and throughout the whole wedding day she was so helpful and easy going. Our photos are unbelievable- she somehow captured the exact feelings of the day in every photo, and we can't stop looking at them! 10000/10, would recommend her to anyone and everyone getting married!

I honestly don't know where to start because working with Nicole was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end, and then some! Nicole isn't just a photographer. She truly is an artist. Her photos are absolutely stunning. She captures everything in the most intimate, honest way. She truly has a gift for capturing the essence of a person and the moment, which makes the photos timeless. You will feel all the warm and fuzzies when going through your photos every time you look at them. We are not the only ones that feel this way either. All of our friends and family adore them too and have said how incredibly lucky we are to have such special photos to treasure forever. Nicole goes above and beyond for you. Not only is she extremely talented, she is warm, funny, easy-going, and super cool! You will absolutely LOVE working with Nicole and you can trust her to capture your love story and wedding day perfectly. She's the best! We love you, Nicole! :)

We could not say enough about how glad we are that Nicole was our wedding photographer. She is an absolute pro. We felt so at ease and natural with her during our wedding. She's got a great sense of humor and a keen eye for composition. Nicole was also super attentive to personal details on what photos would mean a lot to us. Nicole also had a great eye to suggest what spots would highlight us, our family, and our venue best given weather and an unexpected large event next door to our venue that meant there were way more cars around than we expected! She went above and beyond in understanding our changing needs around our pandemic family travel circumstances. Also, within Nicole is prompt in her communication and quick to provide sound expert advice in planning our day. She even has several blog posts prepared with FAQs to help us anticipate any concerns we may have. Her terms are transparent and she offers online info forms, payment platforms, and galleries that really helped us feel organized. We give an absolutely hearty recommendation to hiring Nicole as your wedding photographer!

Do not waste anymore time looking for photographers. Book Nicole now!! We are so fortunate to have found Nicole to capture our wedding. We originally hired a photographer and had to fire him (found out post engagement photos he was horrible). 2 months out from our wedding we were scrambling to find someone. Luckily my friend Casey booked Nicole for her wedding in June and she happen to have our wedding date available in September. Nicole is super friendly, responsive, professional, trustworthy...I could go on and on. She is flexible, very fairly priced and goes the extra mile. We love her and know you will too! Book her immediately :)

Nicole was amazing! Both my husband and I are not comfortable in front of a camera and Nicole put us both as ease. We met twice before the wedding and she was always very responsive via email for all questions I had. She also was willing to work with our budget to make a package that worked best for us. I highly recommend Nicole and cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding photos based on the amazing teasers she provided.

Nicole was absolutely FABULOUS to work with. She is so nice, accommodating and extremely professional. My husband and I were not used to being in front of a camera and Nicole instantly made us feel comfortable and captured us being ourselves. She was there to help us every step of the way during our engagement - offering recommendations for videographers, helping us understand the shots we wanted, working with us to find an engagement shoot location, etc. She worked extremely well with our videographer - it was awesome having them able to collaborate to get the best photos / videos. She worked really well with all of our wedding party to arrange everyone properly. Our engagement and wedding photos came out so beautiful. Thank you SO much, Nicole!!

Nicole photographed our wedding and we absolutely loved working with her and our photos. I can't recommend her highly enough. We're both camera shy but she made us feel very comfortable, and it showed in our photos. After she photographed the ceremony and the family pics, we walked around a garden and she did our couple shoot- we felt like we were walking around with a friend (even though we hadn't met her before, just talked to her on the phone once or twice before the wedding). She was very pleasant and friendly, and we're very happy she was part of our wedding day. Highly recommend her.
