About this vendor
Fully Booked in 2026- Booking 2027 Weddings & Beyond!
Hey there, im Nidya, I cannot believe that I get to make people laugh and feel gorgeous for a living (while eating cheese sticks and chugging ridiculous amounts of coffee.) This business is one of my proudest accomplishments, and all because you are a part of it. Having a "job" I love is one of the reasons that my soul just sings.
I started this business 8 years ago on a true wing and a prayer when I was working as a part-time bank teller and pregnant with my daughter. As a creative person at heart, I was yearning to turn my hobby into a full time career...8 years and over 270 weddings later, here we are.
My business will never have a 'conveyor belt' feeling. It just doesn't even have the option to, considering that I thrive on building real relationships with my clients. Let me take you out for coffee, and share my love of plants with you. Let me send you funny memes and talk all things The Office. Let me share those cheese sticks that I love so much with you (they don't transport well to weddings, but maybe after?).
I know that we will probably keep in touch after you are married - and that's quite alright with me. Talk soon xoxo, Nidya

From the very beginning, Nidya was absolutely incredible. She was so welcoming, easygoing, full of energy, and genuinely made us feel comfortable from day one. She was worth every ...
single penny!
We started with engagement photos, and they came out absolutely incredible. My husband is not usually a “photo guy,” but Nidya somehow made the entire experience so fun and enjoyable for both of us. She made taking photos feel natural instead of forced, and that made such a difference.
Then came our wedding day, and Nidya and her assistant photographer were AMAZING. They were energetic, organized, professional, and somehow managed to capture every special moment while making the whole process feel effortless. They made us feel so comfortable and allowed us to actually enjoy our day rather than constantly worrying about photos.
One of the biggest compliments came from our own family and friends. Some who were already married told us they wished they had known about Nidya and had her photograph their wedding, while others who are getting married soon immediately wished they had met her and knew about her. Honestly, if that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does!
And once we received our photos, the compliments did NOT stop. Everyone was blown away by how beautiful they were and how perfectly Nidya captured the emotions, little moments, and memories of our day.
Nidya made the entire process so easy from start to finish, and she truly helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. We are beyond grateful to have had her there to capture such an important chapter of our lives. If you are considering booking her, DO IT!
Hiring Nidya for our wedding photography was the best decision we could have made. She is such a special person with the best energy and light, and we absolutely loved working with...
her to shoot our engagement and wedding photos. The photos came out absolutely stunning, beyond what we could have hoped for. We had the BEST time with her and her team, and our genuine smiles show in every photo. She was literally in the pricker bushes to capture the most stunning shots of us in the woods on our wedding morning. She brought joy and happiness to our day, exactly as we had hoped. We received hundreds of the beautifully edited images, and I cry every time I look at them. We’re so blessed to have found such a wonderful photographer. If you’re lucky enjoy that Nidya is available to shoot your wedding, book her now!!!! Best decision you’ll make!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. No question about it. The absolute best of the best. I have been obsessed with Nidya's work for years. When I got engaged, she was the f...
irst person I reached out to. We wouldn't lock in a date without confirming that it worked for her first. She was our must-have vendor! Everything about her is perfection. From her stunning photos to her bigger than life charismatic personality- the vibes she brought to our wedding day were just incredible. She has a way about her that just makes you feel comfortable and excited to be infront of her camera. Our family & friends have been raving about her since our wedding day as well. She is so professional while also making you feel like you've been friends for years!
Our wedding was just recently, so we only have the sneak peeks so far but can I say WOW. They are more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Please trust Nidya with your special day, she will not disappoint !!!
Nidya is the best! Her photos are incredible, and she makes the process so fun. As someone who is not the most comfortable in front of the camera, Nidya gives great direction and b...
rings out the best in everyone. She is assertive and outgoing, which makes wedding day group photos run seamlessly. She was awesome to work with from start to finish, and we are thrilled with our wedding photos! Highly recommend her!
The absolute BEST photographer in the game! We truly couldn’t have imagined having anyone else with us on our special day to capture all the magical moments. Nidya’s bubbly, upbeat...
, and positive energy is absolutely contagious—she’s the perfect sidekick and hype woman to have by your side on your wedding day. Nidya came highly recommended by a friend of a friend to both the bride and the groom (and when the groom raved about her, I knew she had to be the real deal!). From the moment we met her in person for our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. Her photos are beyond stunning, but she’s even more beautiful as a person. She’s helpful, knowledgeable, and so much fun to be around. Nidya makes the whole experience of taking photos feel comfortable, fun, and genuinely enjoyable. Our families and bridal party couldn’t stop raving about her, and everyone was obsessed with our photos. We couldn’t be happier with how beautifully she captured our day. I've already had multiple friends book her after seeing our photos! Look no further for your perfect wedding photographer!
What an absolute blessing to have Nidya as our photographer! She went above and beyond to make our day feel so special and to make us feel so loved. Our other vendors could not sto...
p talking about how amazing she was to work with! Her second photographer Katie was absolutely incredible and did all of the grooms pictures!! She kept us so calm throughout the day with her joy filled personality. If you are looking for not only stunning pictures but someone who be beside you throughout the entire day encouraging you, then this is your girl!!!
Ps I attached a picture or Nidya and Katie literally laying down in the grass to take the perfect shot! She truly put her heart and soul into every one of our pictures!
The best vendor we booked for our big day. Nidya is such a pleasure to work with, totally helped with timeline for the day of and our pictures are fantastic!
I cannot recommend Nidya more! Nidya has such a bubbly personality and is someone you want to be with your whole wedding day. We were absolutely blown away by the sneak peaks she s...
ent and can’t wait to see the full gallery. She worked with me to develop a photo timeline ahead of time and helped keep the day moving smoothly so we didn’t have to miss cocktail hour. Book her, you won’t regret it!
If you're lucky enough to have Nidya available on your wedding day, book her immediately. Our whole wedding experience would not have been the same without her. From our first cons...
ultation, I loved her energy and felt that we just clicked. When we met her in Rhode Island for our engagement shoot, we knew then that she was the best of the best. She has an ability to create and capture candid moments with genuine smiles. She also has an eye for the most gorgeous backdrops leaving us with photos that make me tear up every time I look at them. We've just gotten our sneak peak but I know that the rest of the album is going to blow me away. If you're looking for a true partner who will bring light, energy, and fun to your wedding day, stop your search and book Nidya now. She's an expert of her craft and will make you feel like a movie star!
Nidya was amazing! She went above and beyond to shoot our engagement photos in Vermont where we fell in love. Her kind personalized notes and gestures during the whole planning pro...
cess were so thoughtful. And wedding day was seamless with her at the helm. Without a day of coordinator, Nidya kept us right on track and never missing the perfect photo op. The final product was amazing, we are so beyond pleased with how our photos came out and the turnaround in which they were delivered. You would be doing yourself a favor by choosing Nidya to shoot your special day!
Nidya was a joy to work with on my wedding day! Her bubbly energy was exactly what I needed for my wedding day, she made everyone feel excited to take photos and made me and my hus...

5++++ Stars! If you're searching for a photographer for your big day, Nidya is the one you absolutely NEED to book! Not only is she extremely talented but she is such a pleasure to...
work with. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and has a fun bubbly personality that brings great energy on your special day! From the moment we met I knew we had to have her as our wedding photographer. She makes sure to get to know you on a personal level and wants to understand what your vision is for your big day. She is super detail oriented and is always prepared (which I love because I am very much so like her and love being organized). Her portfolio, her experience, her enthusiasm, her passion, her energy is everything and more! I'm in awe of how beautifully our day was captured by her photography. The photos were STUNNING! We were looking for the bright, airy, classy look in the beginning of February and boy did Nidya deliver! We could not be happier with the results and I can not stop looking through our photos!
If there is anything I can recommend for anyone, it is 10000% to have Nidya as your photographer!
If you are looking for a fun, kind, amazing, professional photographer look no further!!! You will not regret booking Nidya for your wedding photography needs. I had spoken with a ...
few photographers during the vendor process and after I spoke with Nidya I just knew she was it! She has such an amazing energy and made the entire process of engagement and wedding photos fun and easy. She is very knowledgeable of the industry and I felt confident that she was there for any questions a long the way. Nidya was timely, professional, and truly cared about how our day went. Your photographer leads the day and the schedule. I received multiple compliments from the wedding party about how speedy and easy the photos were! After receiving the final products, I am BLOWN away. They are all so amazing and bring us back to that perfect day. I miss working with Nidya now that the wedding is over!
Nidya was absolutely incredible. From our first meeting to the wedding day to receiving our photos— just amazing.
We had met Nidya when she photographed my best friend’s (and fut...
ure MOH) wedding. Her enthusiasm and energy was captivating, but the quality of her photos were STUNNING! So we knew when we got engaged that we wanted to reach out to her. To start, she sends fun-mail that guides you through the process from engagement photos to wedding day timeline. This was one of the few parts of wedding planning that was completely stress free lol!! I was so overwhelmed with figuring out the wedding day timeline and Nidya did it all, and kept it organized. On the day of, when Nidya arrived, the energy in the room changed and the celebration truly started! Everyone was happy, cheerful and all of the wedding day stress melted away allowing us to just enjoy the day. Mike and I were smiling and laughing the whole time!! She made sure we had time to eat during cocktail hour (a must for us!) and was the one to very quickly bustle up my dress before the reception.
As for her pictures… they are simply stunning!! They were bright, romantic, airy, classy… everything we wanted and more! We could not be happier with how they turned out!! Both Mike and I loved the way the pictures captured the moments and we couldn’t be more excited to share them with all of our friends and family.
I 1000% recommend Nidya and her team… hiring her as our photographer was the BEST decision we made when planning!!!
Marisa Monroe
Not only is Nidya an incredibly talented photographer, she is a blast to work with! She is energetic, funny, and full of love and really helped us feel comfortable in front of the ...
camera! She will bring out genuine smiles and laughs during your wedding day, that's for sure.
We had both our engagement session and wedding in venues that Nidya hadn't photographed before, but that was no problem at all. She has a great eye for lighting, locations, and poses. She's so skilled at what she does that we captured many locations and poses in a short time. She comes to the wedding day very prepared because of everything that's covered in a prep call and worksheet that she sends. I felt like we were in such good hands with keeping things moving and making sure we got all the shots we wanted!
I highly recommend Nidya! She felt like a close friend by the end of the night, and the next day we got some teaser photos that are absolutely stunning! She's the best!
How often do you hear of people booking their photographer before they even have a venue picked? Well call us crazy, but that’s we did! That’s how much we knew we had to have Nidya...
as our photographer. We saw a glimpse of what she was capable of at a friend’s wedding and her energy, attention to detail, and organizational skills were what attracted us to her. We couldn’t have dreamed our day would’ve gone the way it did and Nidya was a huge part of making that happen. Words can’t begin to describe the amazing job that she did but the pictures speak for themselves. If you want a professional, fun, organized, and just all around great person to take the most stunning photos for you on your big day, then there’s no choice but Nidya!
I could not recommend Nidya enough. I felt as if we connected from the very first phone call. She was extremely personable and easy to talk to. Nidya really puts her heart and soul...
not only into the work that she does, but also when it comes to the couples that she works with. She made it a point to get to know us on a personal level and we could not have appreciated that more. She also included cute personal touches like sending us a thank you basket in the mail with goodies for us when we officially decided on choosing her as our photographer, in addition to creating such a beautiful and heartfelt blog post of our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable behind the camera and made the whole experience fun. Not only did we have SO many people compliment us on how beautiful our pictures came out, but they also could not get over how invested Nidya was in our wedding and our story. So much so that there were times she was in tears during our ceremony and our speeches. Our family and friends were truly touched at how emotional she was and so were we. It shows how much of a kind and caring person she is. Nidya is great at what she does and we could not recommend her enough (two of our friends have already booked her because she is that talented!) Thank you Nidya!
We loved Nidya from our first phone call. She was so real, peppy, and personable. She is a great communicator and will get back to you quickly to answer any questions. Her prices a...
re insanely reasonable for her work.
She has a big, bold personality that gets rid of any wedding jitters. (If you’re looking for someone who is going to be subdued and quiet, she is not the girl for you). However, I am someone who can become stressed easily and she has a way of keeping the atmosphere light, which is exactly what I needed.
Besides her personality, her photographs are beautiful. If you like light, airy, colorful photos— she is the photographer for you! She takes amazing portraits as well as candid photos (something we were looking for). She was recommended to us by our venue (Red Maple Vineyard) and she knew all the go-to spots, which is so important for a photographer.
Please consider taking a look at her work. We are so in love with our engagement photos and our wedding photos and don’t think we would have gotten the same result from anyone else.
Thank you Nidya for everything!!
Nidya can singlehandedly be thanked for making our wedding day the absolute best day of our lives! From the very first time we talked to her, we knew that we had to have her as our...
photographer. She's energetic and bubbly, which allowed her to get my husband and some of my shy family members out of their shells and comfortable behind the camera. Instead of making the portraits feel like a staged photo shoot, Nidya made us feel like we were simply spending time with each other as a couple. As a result, the photos were authentic, genuine, and SO stunning!!!
Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she was also such a detail-oriented planner and a full on therapist when we were stressing out about details beyond our control on our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable and relieved during our day, and it allowed us to really enjoy every moment. So many people reached out to us after the wedding asking for her information because they were so impressed with her.
If there is anything I can recommend for anyone, it is 100% to have Nidya as your photographer! She goes above and beyond in a way that I have never seen (and I have been in many weddings). Would 10000/10 recommend.
Don’t even question it, book Nidya as your wedding photographer. I truly can not say enough positive things about her. Nidya went above and beyond in every way. She made everyone i...
n our wedding feel comfortable and special. My husband and I will forever be grateful for Nidya’s positive energy and love on our wedding day. Not to mention, she sent us pictures the night of our wedding… and they are amazing. Thank you Nidya for everything, your talent is unmatched!!
Nidya is amazing! From the beginning, she was energetic and engaging, and such a joy to have around on our wedding day. She is organized and very detailed! Our pictures came out am...
azing, despite all the rain we had. Thank you for such beautiful pictures and memories Nidya!
Nidya is the BEST in the business. She made our day so easy. The energy she brought was contagious and she knew the angles, the poses, everything. She makes people laugh and makes ...
you feel natural. Our wedding party loved her. She’s an amazing person and it really shows in how she approaches her job. We could really tell that she cared about us and took the time to get to know us in the years and months leading up to our day, as there was never a bad time for a question. When it was showtime, she ran the show, and she made it look easy. She is more than a wedding photographer, she’s a friend. We are forever grateful for finding her. Simply the best. Thank you for making our wedding perfect. We can’t put it into words!!!! Update: just got our photos and they are more than we could’ve ever asked for. Nidya is the best and if you don’t book her, you will regret it. The BEST!!!!

Every bride wants to invest in the perfect wedding photographer and Nidya was and is beyond perfect. In absolute awe of my wedding photos. Natural, bright, and truly capture the lo...
ve of you and your significant other. From our engagement session to reception photos, she captured every moment perfectly. Easy to communicate with and truly wants your day to go smoothly as she is extremely organized and straight to the point so you get all photos you want with whomever. I knew on our initial phone call she was the one. Super fun and bubbly, you will be laughing the entire time! Thank you so much, Nidya!
Working with Nidya for our wedding photography was an absolute dream. From the very first consultation call, you could tell that she just has amazing energy and passion for what sh...
e does—and that definitely came through in our photos! She ensured our wedding day went smoothly from start to finish and made everyone feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and kept the entire wedding party and family laughing and smiling throughout photos. After the wedding, she was communicative and responsive to our questions and follow-ups, and she delivered all of the photos in a very timely fashion. We LOVE how each photo turned out and wouldn't want to have worked with anyone else. If you're looking for someone to shoot your wedding in the NYC/Hudson Valley area, don't hesitate to work with her!
NidyaLloyd Photography- Where do I begin!? The first time I saw Nidya in action was at a friends wedding and boy, did she make an impression! It was at that very moment that I knew...
- when it was my time to say "I Do", SHE was going to be the ONE to photograph the best day of my life, and let me just say, BEST wedding decision I made! From the first phone call with Nidya, to the engagement session, to our wedding day and even the aftermath, her bubbly and loving personality was nothing short of amazing. She is truly such a talented, sweet, energetic boss babe and we are so lucky to have had her (My whole guest list would tell you the same thing). Words cannot express enough how truly grateful we still are to have had her photograph our day. I still cry with a huge smile on my face, every time I look at our gallery of photos. I wish I could give her a million stars because that is what she deserves. If you are getting married, look no further. She is YOUR GIRL! Thank you, NidyaLloyd Photography for your amazing work!

Nidya was an absolute dream to work with! From our initial conversation with her to our engagement shoot and then wedding day she was absolutely fantastic. Her excitement and passi...
on for photography and weddings is evident in her work. Her energy kept us going during our 95 degree sweltering wedding day. Despite the heat, Nidya was smiling and upbeat the entire time. My family still talks about how amazing Nidya was. Our photo gallery is absolutely beautiful with more than 1700 photos....still not sure how we are ever going to choose what to include in our album. Nidya was always happy to answer our never-ending list of questions and her planning guide was so helpful. Additionally, she worked so well with all of our vendors to create a smooth timeline. We highlight recommend hiring Nidya for your big day.
I wish I could give more than just 5 stars, because Nidya truly deserves all the stars in the world! It truly takes a special person with a unique gift to make not only you, but al...

works really hard at what she does and we were so impressed with our wedding and engagement photos! My bridesmaid even hired her immediately after she saw our photos! They have such a bright and airy feel and really capture the moments so well. Every time we look at them we are brought back to the best day of our lives!! I truly recommend this wonderful soul!
From our initial intro call with Nidya, her passion for photography and weddings in general was overflowing which is what brought us back to her and we are so happy we did. From ou...
r engagement shoot where Nidya contacted the venue, to our actual wedding day, Nidya was the perfect photographer. The week of our wedding day my husband and I frantically texted her that there was a 40% chance of rain and what was the plan B?! Right away she calmed our nerves and I was confident that no matter the weather, we have the right photographer. She kept us on track day-of and we received gorgeous pictures that captured our day perfectly. The portraits are stunning and just what we wanted. A huge thank you to Nidya who is extremely talented.
We really enjoyed our experience with Nydia! She was very professional and went above and beyond in taking our photos. She listened very well to what we wanted and delivered. It ca...
n be nerve wracking to take photos but she made it as comfortable and easy as possible! She also knew how to tighten my corset- which was very helpful and needed haha! Her prices were very reasonable and we received A LOT of photos to pick and choose from. We only did a photo shoot but if we had an actual wedding I would have her do the whole thing!
Out of all the MANY decisions that come with planning a wedding, Nidya was our best choice. I knew I was booking her before we even hung up the phone from our initial phone call. ...
We spent more time laughing than actually talking and I knew from that call that she was our kind of person. We were proven right when we met for our engagement photos. Nidya was FULL of energy (at 5am in Central Park) and made us completely forget we were even in front of a camera. We again spent the morning talking about anything and everything and non stop laughing. It truly feels like you have known her forever and she is the best friend that everyone loves. When the day of the wedding came, we were so excited to see Nidya again. Her energy truly brings something so special to a wedding day. She was always right there all throughout the day, walking you through the day and reminding you how special it all truly is, all while capturing every moment perfectly- I really don’t think her or Kayla sat down for even a minute the whole day. I can not even find the words to explain how perfectly she captured how much our wedding meant to us. We will forever cherish the photos she has given us. Nidya truly is so gifted at what she does and it is so clear how much she loves it. I would without a doubt chose Nidya again and again and I can only hope many more couples make the greatest decision in booking her too!
Nidya is not only an amazing and gifted photographer but she is also a sweet person who clearly loves what she does!! She is very open and easy to talk to and made my husband and I...

nd her to everyone!!!
Nidya was one of the best choices we made on our wedding. Not only was she our photographer but she became our right hand during the wedding planning process (during a pandemic no ...
less). After our initial call my husband and I knew she was the one to capture our wedding day. Nidya also played in pivotal part in the rescheduling process of our wedding and accommodating available dates between our venue. We knew we could not reschedule our wedding without her!
Nidya is such a unique soul. She has an infectious personality and passion for what she does. The style of her photography perfectly aligned with our vision. Reviewing our photos was overwhelming in the best way possible. There were so many images to go through and she captured the day perfectly. We laughed and cried tears of joy as we relived our wedding day through her eyes.
Neither my husband or I are very comfortable being in front of the camera but she made us laugh and feel comfortable from our engagement session and on wedding day. Kayla was also on wonderful on wedding day. We felt like we hand the best duo to make sure the day flowed effortlessly and that they were there for anything we needed. Our family and bridesmaids kept telling us how great Nidya and Kayla were throughout the day and without seeing a photo they knew they were going to be epic! Without question, go book Nidya! She will provide you with an outstanding experience and keepsakes of one of the most important days of your life!
Nidya was not only our wedding photographer, but became our friend and confidant during the wedding planning process! My husband and I unfortunately had to postpone our wedding due...
to COVID and Nidya was the vendor we based our rescheduling around because we knew no matter what we couldn't have our wedding day without her! We chose Nidya because her work and style spoke to us and her personality is second to none. If you need some positivity in your life look no further!
Nidya is the absolute best! We were in love from our initial call with her, actually the first email response I received when you could feel how energetic and excited she was, whic...
h was a big factor in choosing her, which definitely comes with her the day of. Oh my goodness, does she have a lot of energy! Which was absolutely perfect for us. From our engagement shoot with her we knew we were so comfortable being around her, which is key to hiring a photographer, you’re gonna spend a lot of time being in front of them you need to be comfortable and we definitely were with Nidya! We also knew we loved her style and that she is absolutely amazing at photography!
All of our family and bridal party loved her as well, they were amazed by her and let me tell you the pictures do not disappoint! We only received a few of our wedding pics so far and they are absolutely STUNNING. It was raining the day of our wedding, but it was no big deal thanks to Nidya, it was so magical and cozy, I loved it. She helped keep us calm and helped create a timeline that we adhered to and worked with. The day was so painless and we could fully enjoy the moments that we were sharing with loved ones.
I cannot say enough good things about her. Working with her was so wonderful and easy, she was always available to answer my weird questions or listen to me ramble through my numerous breakdowns (covid bride lol). I loved whenever she had an idea and had to run and get it accomplished. I am so excited to see all of those photos. Nidya is truly incredible and such a wonderful presence to have with you on your wedding day. Seriously you want someone who is enjoying being there as much as you and your friends and family are and she really is that excited and in love with the moment. We loved working with her!!
Nidya is absolutely amazing. Words cannot describe how wonderful she truly is. Not only is she so energetic and fun to be around, she has a way of making the process of taking tons...
of pictures so much fun. My husband hates taking pictures and yet LOVED working with Nidya. On the day of our wedding she had her assistant Kayla helping and she was just as amazing as Nidya. We had the best time with them, (and are looking for ways to have more photos taken by them). They took care of every single detail while capturing the most beautiful photos. The most challenging part is narrowing down the pictures we want to hang around our home because they truly are all so beautiful. Do yourself a favor, book Nidya! It will be the best decision you can make for your wedding.
Nidya was absolutely amazing and I am so glad that we booked her as our photographer. Her bubbly, outgoing and sweet personality put us at ease on our wedding day. She brought a lo...
t of energy and humor to our day which was exactly what we needed. I was a little nervous that we would not have enough time to take pictures due to venue restrictions but she got everything done with more than enough time to spare. She is not afraid to think out of the box and do whatever she needs to get the perfect shot. Besides her awesome personality her pictures are absolutely beautiful and truly capture the emotion behind her couples. Nidya was also extremely flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding and worked with us to ensure that she would be available for our next date. Overall Nidya is amazing and she is not only a great photographer but also a wonderful person to have at your wedding to help capture your special day.
Booking Nidya as our wedding photographer was the best choice we made!!! She is so energetic and amazing at what she does! All of my friends said when and if they get married the...
y are booking Nidya. Everyone is texting me and reaching out to tell me how AMAZING my pictures are and how much of a phenomenal job Nidya did. And ditto for the engagement shoot too! Not only is she an amazing photographer but she was so helpful when I had questions about other vendors, or changing my locations because of COVID, and she just overall feels like you are shooting with your best friend! She is the best hype woman so none of our pictures were fake smiles, they were genuine laughter which makes for an amazing picture!! If we ever need pictures for anything else again we are 1000% booking Nidya!
Where do we even start to explain our absolute amazement of and profound gratitude we have for this woman!? Nothing about our wedding planning process was super easy, given COVID-1...
9, but booking Nidya was!! After looking at some of her work and our first phone call, we knew this was the girl for us! Nidya is bubbly, funny, and radiates the energy and happiness for all the good vibes you want/need leading up to, and the big day! I promise you, aside from having absolutely incredible photos that everyone will be jealous of, you will have such an amazing time in the process of taking them with Nidya, and everyone will become obsessed with her like our entire family and bridal party now are. BOOK HER!!!
Nidya is absolutely AMAZING! First off, she is the sweetest person and makes taking pictures so easy and relaxing. We got our pictures back so quickly and were blown away with how...
stunning they are. Every picture is beautiful and captures our whole day perfectly. If you are planning a wedding, micro wedding or want engagement pictures, go to Nidya. You will be so happy you did!!
Nidya was hands-down the best decision I made in regard to my wedding. From the beginning when we first contacted her she was the sweetest, easiest to talk to, and most personable ...
person! Her passion for what she does truly exudes.
When we first met her for our engagement session, she calmed our nerves so much. This was the first time either of us had professional photos done, and we chose the busy location of Central Park of course with what felt like tons of people watching us. Nidya calmed our nerves from the second we met her. She knew the location in and out and worked so hard to execute her ideas.
Due to COVID we had to postpone our "large wedding" but chose to have a micro wedding in the mean time. Nidya was responsive and flexible, making sure she could be with us on this date! Again, the whole time she calmed my nerves. At any moment I could turn to her and say "Nidya what do you think?" when someone asked me a question, knowing I could trust her judgment and her knowledge in the business.
Nidya is so responsive when reaching out to her. She is incredibly kind and enjoyable to be around. She calms your nerves on your biggest day. Most importantly her pictures are beautiful! We can't wait to have her be part of our "big wedding" next summer too!
I have known Nidya for 10 years. She is one of the kindest, funniest, most genuine people I've ever met, and now that I've worked with her professionally, I can say that she is als...
o one of the most talented photographers I've ever met as well.
She is a professional and fantastic person to have with you on your big day and throughout the entire wedding process. She is knowledgable, easygoing, prompt and resourceful. She has a great eye for photos and her attention to detail works wonders. She keeps you and your guests smiling all day!
I highly, highly recommend her!
I’ve been holding off on writing this review because every time I sit down to write it, the only thing that comes to mind is how blessed we were to find her. I knew from the first ...
30 seconds on the phone with her that she was the one! If you want a tiny fiery ball of energy and happiness and love and just down right awesome, this girl is for you. I don’t have much to say about the pictures themselves because....come on! You can see how amazing they are by just looking at one! She captured every single detail of our day and I truly don’t know how she was able to capture all that she did in such a short amount of time. Guests till this day tell me how amazing the photographer was and how everywhere they looked, she was there too! (I mean she does move at like warp speed!!!)
But what you can’t see from the pictures is how amazing this photographer is inside and out. From the first time we met her she made us feel so happy and fun and no pressure at all! We were so nervous to get our pictures taken for the engagement photos but she made you feel so at home and like you’ve known her your whole life, that you didn’t even realize you were taking pictures! She really is just an amazing person. Also, we had Kayla as the second shooter and she was also so awesome! I met her the day of the wedding and by the time the reception rolled around, we all were dancing together like we had known each other forever! Do yourself a favor, and just book Nidya, you will not regret it. We prayed for someone like her and boy did she exceed any expectation or hope that we could have ever wished for.
Where do I begin?
From the very begining, when I made it known to Nidya that we were interested in hiring her (because her work speaks for itself, amazing) her enthusiasm was conta...
gious. She was very professional, yet very personable. From various prompt emails discussing our vision, to setting up time and location for the engagement shoot, to having a meeting before the wedding to go over timelines for the big day, she left us feeling taken care of, excited, and comfortable! She makes the best of every situation! Our January wedding was everything it we hoped it would be, and was even better with Nidya's creative vision. It was forecasted a foot of snow on our wedding day. What do we do? We go outside and embrace it. It was a winter wedding dream. She captured beautiful photos of us in the snow. Often people ask me if it was photoshopped in! I tell them "No, I had an amazing photographer. I highly recommend her!" If you are looking for quality (and basically a built-in wedding plannner) Nidya and her team are the BEST! ❄❄
Much Love,
Sarah & John
Choosing Nidya as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions that we made in planning our wedding. The photos of our wedding beat our expectations, which were set very ...
