Nikki Jilek Photography

Look no further! Having Nikki do our engagement and wedding photos was one of the best and easiest decisions I made while planning our wedding. She has such a fun and easy going personality that puts you at ease. She makes it clear how passionate she is about wedding photography, and that definitely comes through in her work! We have had countless compliments from friends over how stunning Nikki’s photos are, and I honestly could not recommend her enough!

I cannot put into words how amazing Nikki is. She is such an incredible photographer and has a great energy and personality. It was an absolute joy working with her. The photos she took for our wedding are everything we had hoped for and more. She perfectly captured the love and happiness from that day. Thank you for everything, Nikki! You're the best.

I give Nikki Jilek Photography 5 stars only because there aren't any more stars available. I can't even begin to describe how awesome Nikki was to work with for our wedding and engagement shoot. It goes without saying that her work is absolutely amazing, as her photos speak for themselves. Aside from her obvious talent as a photographer, she also has this wonderful ability of keeping everyone laid back, calm and on track, which is so important on your wedding day! We had so many compliments from our wedding party about how awesome she was (something my husband and I obviously already knew). To anyone looking for an engagement and/or wedding photographer, I can't recommend Nikki enough!!

Nikki was amazing to work with! I looked at a lot of photographers before contacting Nikki. Her photos capture that effortless and natural look that I was searching for. Nikki did both our engagement and wedding day photos (which I think helped us relax on our wedding day in front of the camera since we already worked with her). She even drove all the way to Duluth for our engagement photos. We are so happy with how all of our photos turned out and I know we'll always cherish them! Nikki is such a pro at helping you feel relaxed in front of the camera and her attention to detail is amazing. Nikki's calmness and ability to organize large group photos was so appreciated on our wedding day. No matter how much you've planned, your wedding day is going to be a little chaotic. But Nikki helped us feel more at ease and made our chilly outdoor photo shoots fun (we got married in December)! All of our families and guests were raving about Nikki. It's clear Nikki sincerely cares about her clients and the product she gives them. We highly recommend working with Nikki!

Nikki is amazing! I was SO worried I wouldn't find a photographer I liked and could also afford. I am very picky when it comes to photography. Nikki was recommended to me by a friend and I am so thankful that I found her. So far she has only done our engagement photos but will be photographing our wedding in October. Our engagement photos turned out amazing! We have had them for 3 months now and I still look at them daily. I am so in love with them. We got A TON of compliments on them and everyone has been asking me where I found Nikki. I've always said that my fiance and I are not photogenic but Nikki managed to make us into the picture perfect couple. I would HIGHLY recommend Nikki and can not wait for her to photograph our wedding in October! Not only is she extremely talented but she is also very easy to get along with and is fun to be around. You will not be disappointed!

Nikki photographed our engagement pictures and we absolutely loved them! It was dead winter in Minnesota and freezing cold, but she made the time really enjoyable for us. -Jordan L

Nikki is the perfect blend of laid-back, go-with-the-flow creativity and structured professionalism. Whether you're looking for event photography, family portraits, senior graduations, or other, Nikki is the right choice. She captures authentic, natural posing as well as uniquely creative 'in-the-moment' images to create a beautiful portfolio for her client. I can't recommend her enough! One of my favorite aspects, is her color palette. Without over-editing images, she pulls out the best in every shot with natural toned but full-of-life enhancements. It's perfect! With hundreds of details on my mind for wedding day, I knew I could count on Nikki to find the best of the whole day. She was one detail where I did not have to stress or worry AT ALL. There is not a single moment or wedding-day detail that she missed. Best of all, Nikki is a fun, kind person to be around and who wouldn't want that for ANY occasion? I'm so thankful we chose Nikki to capture our wedding and I look forward to future shoots with her!

To say Nikki is an amazing photographer is an understatement. She was one of the memorable parts of our wedding. Nikki had such a presence and knew how to make everyone in our wedding party feel at ease and comfortable. Our wedding party still talks about how much fun we had taking pictures and getting to enjoy ourselves; which was made possible by Nikki’s easy-going, upbeat, kind, happy attitude. The quality of Nikki’s work is fantastic! She is able to capture such delicate moments that we can now share for a lifetime in our wedding photos! I would (and have) recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts Nikki! -Alyssa & Dan

Nikki was so great to work with! She made our day so effortless and fun and not to mention our pictures turned out amazing!! She did such an amazing job with both our engagement photos and wedding photos! We would 100% recommend her! Thank you, Nikki!

Nikki is the epitome of what a photographer should be on a wedding day-focused, calming, caring, and above all, a joy to be around. Aaron and I could not have felt more comfortable with her behind the lens. We were game for anything she suggested because we knew that she was going to get the best shot possible. And she did. Our favorite pictures were sneaky shots that Nikki captured during our reception. She caught the essence of what we wanted our day to be, and for that we could not be more thankful. Our investment in Nikki paid off tenfold…we have recommended her numerous times to friends for engagement, wedding, and family pictures. Thank you, Nikki! -Aaron & Allison Walters

Nikki Jilek was an amazing photographer!! She did such and amazing job with our wedding photos! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to do any kind of engagement or wedding photos, and etc. I loved how our photos turned out!

There are so many wonderful things to say about Nikki, but some of our favorite things about her is her love for God, fun and light personality and true love and passion for photography! She does work that is pure and simple which is exactly what we wanted. She captures the beauty in every shot she takes, and is so comfortable while doing so. Her ideas for photography are unique and realistic. We love Nikki and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you, Nikki! Jonathan and Tessa Fredman

Nikki is Amazing! We had our engagement photos taken with her and she will also be doing our wedding. She has so many great idea and is so fun to work with. My fiance and I were nervous to take pictures, but she made it so comfortable, we had a blast. I definitely recommend Nikki!

I have the privilege of knowing Nikki personally, otherwise I would not have known about her business. She is at the very beginning stages of her business in photography; my wedding was only the second or third she has shot! The benefit of this is that she is VERY cheap compared to other photographers, yet her quality is at the same level. Looking at her blog shows the incredible talent this woman has for photography! She worked so hard to ensure that we had the best pictures possible; she went to the venue on two separate occasions (on a cloudy day and on a sunny day) to map out the best spots for photos. Because she is new and because I did not have my engagement pictures taken with her, I only had to pay $800! This was BY FAR the best deal for high quality photos in the Twin Cities area. I would HIGHLY recommend Nikki as a photographer for any wedding!
