My husband and I both agree that booking Nicole Piper Photography for our wedding was hands-down the absolute BEST decision that we made during the whole planning process! We most sincerely cannot recommend Nicole highly enough! Over the past ...year, she photographed several milestones for us as a couple, including our engagement shoot, intimate church ceremony with our families, and larger wedding. We cannot imagine not having Nicole there as a part of each of these special moments! She truly feels like not only our super-talented photographer but also our lifelong friend!
To start, Nicole is one of the kindest, most genuine, and happiest people that I have ever met. From the start, she was so easy to talk to, so excited for us in this new chapter of our lives, and so genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. She took the time to hear us out and then provided us with awesome suggestions for our engagement shoot that would fit who we are. We excitedly agreed to shoot in the mountains of Asheville, NC, and we could not be happier with the outcome! Nicole was willing to meet us for breakfast before our shoot so that we could get to know her better and feel more comfortable, which really meant a lot to us. She drove us to different sites and took the most breathtaking photos. She is able to authentically capture love and emotion in her pictures. She captured the beauty of our surroundings and the joy we felt out on the mountains. Our engagement pictures are mementos that we will truly treasure forever and they also served as decor for our wedding. (Plus, we got the compliment that our photos were "The best engagement pictures I have ever seen!" from so many of our friends and family members!)
We were planning on keeping our family-only church ceremony low-key and not have a photographer, but after our amazing engagement shoot experience with Nicole we immediately knew we wanted her to capture that special day for us as well. Nicole was willing to make the trip down south to St. Petersburg for this and we could not be more grateful. She jumped right in with our families and they all instantly loved her. She made everyone feel so comfortable and again she captured special moments that mean so much to us. She was able to capture everything from candid laughs between my grandfather and I, classic church photos, romantic beach moments, and fun brewery pictures! I cannot even speak to the level of talent that Nicole has. She has a way of making you laugh and loosen up and then the next thing you know you completely forget that she is there and she is able to capture the most incredible, honest moments.
Finally, Nicole shot our Club Continental wedding and the photos that she took are EVERYTHING. I cried when I looked through them because they brought me back to the exact emotions that I was feeling on that day. She captured the excitement of the morning, the romance of the ceremony, and the fun of the reception all so perfectly. She captured every single detail that I could have ever wanted. And not only that, these pictures are Pinterest, internet famous-worthy pictures. Did I mention Nicole is SUPER talented??
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do yourself a favor and book Nicole as your engagement/wedding photographer. It was the best decision that we made, and I promise you it will be the best decision you make, too!
