Nikki is absolutely amazing!! I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her for our wedding. Nikki and Taylor (her husband/second shooter) had never shot an Indian w...
edding before but I was in love with her portfolio. The way she captures the light and her beautiful attention to detail, I knew I wanted her to be my photographer.
Nikki is so easy and fun to work with! Prior to our engagement photos, we went out to dinner to get to know each other and get comfortable. So when it was time to do the shoot, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. During our three day wedding, Nikki captured so many beautiful moments! Her and Taylor were absolutely phenomenal during the three days (Indian weddings are no joke) and they worked their butts off. They even went on a 3 mile hike with us after our ceremony and the photos are so beautiful!!
We cannot say enough good things about Nikki and Taylor. Even the way Nikki provided the photos, categorized by event and type of photo, is just an attention to detail that goes beyond her profession. Everyone at our wedding rave about how amazing, fun, and lovely Nikki and Taylor were and everyone who has seen our wedding photos say they’re gorgeous!
If you want the absolute best photographer, you need Nikki. And if you are able to book her for your wedding, you are so lucky!!
(P.S. for some reason The Knot won’t upload my photos so just go to Nikki’s instagram and you won’t be able to hire anyone else)
Hiring Nikki as our wedding photographer was one of the best choices we made for our big day. From the very start, she made us feel completely at ease with her warm personality and...
clear passion for her work. She captured every moment so beautifully and naturally, it feels like reliving our wedding day every time we look through the photos.
What made the experience even more special was having her husband as the second shooter. The two of them worked together seamlessly, like a well-rehearsed team. Not only were they incredibly professional and attentive to every detail, but they also brought such a fun, relaxed energy to the day. It honestly felt like having two friends with us who were able to take charge and capture every moment perfectly
Their chemistry and communication were spot-on, and it really showed in how smoothly everything flowed. From candid shots to emotional moments to every little detail, nothing was missed and yet we hardly noticed the cameras. That’s how effortlessly they blended in while still managing to get every perfect shot.
We’ve received so many compliments on our sneak peaks, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. So excited to see the rest! If you’re looking for a photography team that is talented, kind, and an absolute joy to be around, we cannot recommend Nikki and her husband enough. They gave us memories we’ll treasure forever.
We are beyond thrilled with the incredible work done by Nikki Hildebrand Photography at our wedding. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos, the entire e...
xperience was seamless and professional.
Nikki is a close friend of mine (bride) which was a driving factor on top of her incredible work in our choice of photographer. I wanted someone I felt comfortable with for the occasion. She not only made me comfortable, but Nikki and Taylor made the entire wedding party have fun in front of the camera and throughout the day. It was an extension of friends in the wedding party with each of them.
We wholeheartedly recommend Nikki Hildebrand to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated, and fun photographer to capture their special day. Thank you for preserving our memories so beautifully!
I hired Nikki for my wedding as my photographer, turns out we had also met a friend. We had interviewed others but once we talked to Nikki on that first phone call, it all fell int...
o place. She was this bright, bubbly and funny personality that we needed. We knew we HAD to book with her!
Engagement Session: Nikki and Taylor are so fun and easygoing! They really helped us to feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave us little prompts to get us laughing and dancing and smiling. We of course used those photos for our wedding website, invitations, and also displayed a few at the reception.
Wedding Day: They arrived to my hotel room and went to work QUICK! Nikki had sent us a questionnaire about what photos we wanted, so I felt at ease with her doing her thing and not having to direct anything at all. She was so on top of the timeline of the day, and worked with my planner (House of Love Planning), and videographer. In my head I kept thinking, did you all talk together before today or is it always this seamless on the day of?
Throughout the time we were wedding planning, Nikki touched base with us multiple times to talk about the engagement session, our wedding day timeline, specific photos we wanted, and so much more. She did not leave any stone unturned. It was a blessing to have found her and Taylor and we are so, so lucky to call them friends. RUN, don’t walk, to book with her!! You will be so incredibly happy that you did.
Nikki was by far the most amazing photographer I had ever worked with! We booked her for our engagement party. From the beginning, she was very accommodating, and was willing to wo...
rk with our budget. She was so amazing during our event, especially when I was really stressing out. When she was taking our photos, she already knew the best spots around our venue. She was so fun to work with, and she became like family at the end of our event. I can’t thank Nikki enough for being such an important part of our day, and I cannot recommend her enough!!
We had a fantastic experience with Nikki as our engagement and wedding photographer! From our first call, her bubbly personality, enthusiasm, and advice made it clear that she trul...
y cares about her clients and enjoys creating a whole experience, not just taking photos. My husband and I are pretty camera shy and not used to posing for photos, so it was great that Nikki's wedding package included an engagement shoot where we could meet Nikki and her husband/second shooter, Taylor, and get comfortable working with them. We had no idea what poses would look good, and Nikki was great at directing us and helping us move, laugh, and look natural on camera. On the wedding day, Nikki was great at directing us, our wedding party, and our families to keep things moving and getting all the pictures we wanted while still having fun. Taylor was also lots of fun to work with and took great photos!
Nikki also provided lots of resources throughout the process, including advice on how to pick locations for the engagement shoot, style guides, recommended vendors, etc. In fact, we found our amazing wedding planner through Nikki. The fact that they already had a great working relationship really helped the planning process go smoothly. They did a lot of work together behind the scenes to come up with a wedding day timeline and figure our lots of details that my husband and I didn't have to worry about thanks to their hard work and coordination.
We would highly recommend Nikki!!
Nikki produced excellent photos thanks to her incredible direction. But besides just her talents (and Taylor’s!) with the lens, she made us feel wonderful and like we were the hott...
est shit there was 🔥. She’s incredibly easy to work with, full of energy in a way that frankly even doesn’t make sense, and a wonderful photographer. Don’t hesitate to contact her! If she’s booked on your wedding day just move it.
Nikki was absolutely amazing to work with! She photographed my micro wedding with 25 people. She captured every detail of the wedding and was a joy to be around the whole day. She ...
helped everything go smoothly and also made sure we all were enjoying our time and helped us take time to enjoy what we were doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Her pre wedding questionnaire was very through and we always knew what to expect. Every person who attended the wedding as well loved having her around and she made everyone so comfortable.
Nikki is extremely cordial when it comes to communication regarding all of your needs and wants for your big day. She takes the time to ensure all of the needs and wants are met fo...
r the session!
Nikki made me feel like the most beautiful bride with her amazing photography skills, and truly is a spectacular photographer. She takes the time to make sure everything is perfect for your wedding.,,
