Hello! I’m Nicole, I’m a New Jersey based Photographer who specializes in Wedding Photography. My love of people is what got me into photography. I’ve been a wedding photographer for almost 16 years, and have enjoyed every single one of my weddings. My photography style is relaxed and vibrant. I capture all the wonderful and silly moments, and let you get on with having the time of your life. For me the best part about a wedding day is the the time I get to spend with just the two of you. In my spare time I love being outside, traveling with my family or spending time at my local swim club.

Nicole was the photographer for our an August wedding. She had worked at our venue before and found the best places for the most magical shots! She was on time and great with time management and prioritizing the specific shots I wanted. When I tell you there’s not a bad photo to pick from our wedding album it’s true! She gave simple easy verbal cues for posing us that felt natural. The photos are a beautiful and true representation of my husband and I. You spend the most time with your photographer and she felt like a best friend from the second she arrived. She was fun, professional, and calmed the nerves. I would recommend her to all!

We booked Nicole for our wedding because of the amazing reviews she has and she was also a recommendation from a family friend. From the start, she has been extremely responsive and helpful with questions we had. We just had our engagement shoot and I couldn’t have asked for a better shoot! We went to a winery, and she found the most perfect spots/backdrops with the best lighting, and made us feel super comfortable. We took so many photos and had such a fun time doing so. It went by so quickly! Her warm, energetic, and fun spirit really helped us feel natural. She got the best shots of my doggo as well! I’m so happy we picked her and can’t wait to see what’s to come for our wedding!!

I don't even know where to start, the entire experience with Nicole was nothing short of perfect throughout the entire process! She was extremely responsive and friendly from the beginning, and took the time to meet with both my husband and I in person prior to booking to look at albums and talk about what our vision was for our engagement and wedding photos. Her turn around time for receiving all photos for both the engagement and wedding was impressive, especially with how many photos we received - our wedding was on April 27th and I already have all edited photos back! She truly captured the excitement and love that we were surrounded by on our wedding day and was such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I felt at ease with her and her second photographer Sarah, and the entire process felt fun and effortless. She even helped to keep me calm when we almost had to move our ceremony inside due to a potential rain storm, and made sure to get plenty of bridal portraits of me outside in the beautiful ceremony space just in case we didn't get to use it for the ceremony which I appreciated so much.
I cannot say enough positive things about Nicole and her services, and I will attach some of our favorite photos to let them speak for themselves! I will absolutely recommend Shilliday Photography to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their most special moments, and can't wait to have Nicole capture more special moments for my family and I in the future.

Nicole shot my December wedding and I could not be more happy with our experience. She made it effortless to smile and pose throughout the hundreds of photos we took during the day. She even managed to wrangle and coax smiles out of the four children in our wedding (not an easy feat)! Communicating with Nicole is super easy - she's very responsive and professional but extremely friendly as well. The turnaround time for her pictures is impressive and the quality is absolutely amazing! Her price is honestly a steal given the attention to detail and quality of photos she provides. I'm so lucky that I found her and will be using her for all of life's future professional photography needs. 10/10 would recommend!

We worked with Nicole for an engagement session and for our wedding day in Philly. She was very professional but personable at the same time. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was very prompt with the editing process so we were able to view our virtual album soon after the wedding! I will recommend her to anyone in the Philly and South Jersey area!

I learned about Nicole from one of my friends using her for her wedding. As soon as I got engaged, that was the first vendor I wanted to make sure I secured for my day. She made everything super easy, was very attentive and communicative. The day of could not have gone better all because of Nicole and her second photographer Sarah! They were on time (if not early) and the day went so smooth ensuring all photos that we wanted were taken. The photos…. AMAZING! She is so talented and knows how to capture your most important moments in your life. This was the best decision having her take our photos. These are memories we will be able to always remember because of her! THANK YOU 💕

Nicole is such a GEM and a wonderful professional to work with. She is organized, creative, easy going and just made taking pictures such a joy and not a chore. We had such an amazing time spending the day with her and her 2nd shooter Sarah. Nicole knew all the right angles and poses and made us super comfortable when taking pictures. We just got back our pictures and we are in LOVEEEE, to the point I can’t stop looking at them and i’m showing EVERYONE our pics. I Highly recommend Nicole for your photography needs! Thank you so much Nicole!

They captured all our moments and many more.

Nicole is amazing!! She give you the option for a 2nd photographer and she brought Sarah with her who was also amazing. They were easy to work with, didn't over pose us, made us feel comfortable and got things done quickly. We just got our photos and they are just fantastic and really captured the joy, fun and emotion of the night. Between the 5 of us, my bridesmaids and I have been in a lot of weddings and experienced a lot of different photographers and we all agreed that Nicole (and Sarah) were our favorites! I can't recommend Nicole and Shilliday Photography enough!

Nicole did our engagement photos at the beach and I was so stressed because it was an extremely windy day but the photos still came back absolutely perfect. I had no stress on my wedding day because I knew no matter what Nicole would do a great job capturing all the shots! 10/10 recommend!!

Nicole is amazing to work with and her photography speaks for itself. We did our engagement shoot with her to get a taste of the day and those pictures plus our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and everything we envisioned. We got our photos quickly too and are so happy to relive the day through them. Nicole worked with us to create and stick to a timeline and was instrumental in the success of our wedding. We are eternally grateful for her exceptional service.

When my fiance and I started wedding planning, I knew I would agonize most over our choice of photographer. For me the photographer is the most important vendor (second maybe only to the venue), since the photos are how you will remember the big day years from now. I saw Nicole's blog and was instantly captivated by her style. She was so easy to communicate with and after a brief virtual meeting I knew she was the one I could trust. We originally decided against doing engagement photos, but a few weeks later we changed our mind. Nicole was extremely accommodating and was able to schedule a session with us quickly. Nicole made us feel like naturals in front of the camera after a few short minutes, and we had a great time working with her. When our pictures were available (within just a few days!), I was blown away! The pictures were perfect and we instantly knew we made the right choice. If I'm this excited about our engagement photos, I can't wait to see how our wedding photos turn out. I would recommend Nicole to anyone!

Nicole was an amazing photographer!! I used her for both my wedding and engagement photos and could not be happier with my choice!

Nicole was great! She was so kind, easy to talk to during the planning process, got great pictures and got them back to us so quickly! All I knew is I wanted nice pictures and Nicole did all the work and made sure we got all the shots. She got great formal photos and also candid shots during our ceremony and reception. All of my bridesmaids commented on how nice she was and how much they loved the pictures. We opted to get a second photographer for a portion of the day and Vanessa did an amazing job as well!

Nicole was an absolutely LIFE SAVER on our wedding day! It was both of our first weddings EVER (yeah I know, funny, right?) that we’d been to, so Nicole’s expertise and experience really helped guide us on our big day. We made both a personal photo list but also used Nicole’s standard list. We had another photographer (Sara) who worked wonders with the boys who ALL hate taking photos. She worked hard to cross off all of our photos both for our first look and throughout the party. She also does a great job with editing, because as you can see from these photos we look nice and polished, bright and sunny, but not photoshopped or airbrushed over. She did go back to remove a burn I got on my arm and the (unfortunate lol) nipple shots of a bridesmaid, too, so she is absolutely willing to work with you on making the photos to your liking!! I got her all day and Sara for 7 hours and walked away with 900 photos only 12 days after the wedding!!!! SERIOUSLY SHE IS A GODDESS at what she does!!!

Nicole is seriously the best of the best in the wedding industry! From the moment I met her, I knew she was going to be the perfect photographer for us. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and knew exactly what my vision was when it came to our wedding. Nicole never shot at the venue we chose, but you would never know and you would have thought she had been there a million times! We also had a pretty big wedding party, but Nicole made sure to honor all of my requests (including adding in our pups!). Nicole is seriously so amazing and anyone would be lucky to have her as their wedding photographer.

I will always take pictures of your pups! I hope you are enjoying your photos. Thank you!

Nicole is amazing and was my favorite wedding vendor! We used Nicole for our engagement session and wedding. From the first time we met her, she made us feel so at ease. I asked if we could do our engagement session (April 2021) at Holland Ridge Farms and she was completely down for it. It was all of our first time at the farm and we had a blast and the pictures were gorgeous! And then for our wedding end of April 2022, she made everything so easy. She is so fun, nice and provides the best coaching for getting beautiful photos. She knows exactly what is she doing. She got a variety of shots for us, the bridal party, our family and our guests. I also had a full list of extended family photos to get and she got them all done with ease with her second photographer! She had suggested doing them right after the ceremony and we extended cocktail hour by 30 mins to allow for them. It couldn't have gone any smoother. Not only was she a pleasure to work with, she got us our photos in less than a week (for both the engagement photos and wedding photos)! The blog post she put together was so special too. A beautiful summary of the day. We love our photos and so do our families and friends! You 100% won't be disappointed choosing Shilliday Photography!

Not to mention how nice she is as a person- in my wedding video you can see her helping my elderly grandmother take a picture on her iPhone. We got all our pictures done just before the rain started!!! Nicole- thank you for shooting my wedding. These visual memories mean more to me than you know. 10/10!

OBSESSED - That's how I would describe my reaction after seeing my wedding gallery. Nicole is professional, communicative, extremely talented AND reasonably priced. We had a historic snow/wind storm in March on our wedding day, but Nicole kept us calm through the whole day and we ended up with amazing snow pictures outside. She captured the excitement of the day so beautifully. Highly recommend!!

If you are looking for a reasonably priced & dedicated photographer Shilliday is IT!!! We got married on August 7, 2021 & I was overjoyed with our photos. All of the key events were perfectly documented & her stylish talent shows. She was barely seen throughout the entire day yet didn't miss a thing. She navigated the "rules" of our venue and kept us happy and relaxed the entire day. Our photo link was ready just a couple weeks later and I couldn't have been happier!!! I simply have praise of the highest regard for Shilliday Photography.

On our wedding day, she was so helpful with keeping our timeline on track, making sure everyone knew where to go and making the over all experience fun. She got our gallery to us within two weeks of the wedding!! And she gives you a link with the entire gallery of photos. I literally can’t stop looking at the pictures they came out better than I could have imagined (and I am picky!). You will be in the absolute best hands with nicole as your photographer.

Nicole was the first vendor we hired once we set out date. I knew as soon as I saw her portfolio that I wanted her to photograph our wedding. She and Sarah, her second shooter, we punctual, professional and friendly. Nicole helped with the timeline for the day and we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed. Pictures were delivered so quickly I actually felt badly having requested a sneak peek! If you are still trying to decide, book Nicole for your big day, you won’t be disappointed!

When I first spoke with Nicole on the phone to get information I knew I wanted her to be our wedding photographer. My husband and I first had an engagement shoot with Nicole which we were so happy with and she made us feel so comfortable. We knew we were going to be happy with our wedding photos but we were BLOWN AWAY by how fabulous they were!! And we got them all back less than a week after our wedding. With hundreds of amazing photos it's hard for us to even pick a couple of our favorites! Nicole has such a good eye for even the smallest details when taking pictures. She made us feel relaxed and also made us laugh. I got many comments from family members and bridal party about how great Nicole was to work with, that she was laid back and calm while also doing her job really well, as they had not all had that same experience with other photographers. Definitely recommend! Now we have such beautiful wedding photos that we will look at and cherish for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and hire Nicole as your wedding photographer, you will not be disappointed!!

Nicole is an incredibly talented photographer who took the most stunning photos of our wedding. She is laid back, easy to work with, and very personable. When we had to postpone our wedding due to covid, she did so no questions asked. She is reasonably priced and will give you the photos of you your dreams with a very quick turn around. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone searching for a wedding photographer.

My husband and I hired Nicole as our photographer for our wedding on 9/10/21, and we are so happy we did!!! Not only is she the sweetest person, she is very professional and absolutely amazing at what she does. Prior to the wedding, she was very quick to respond and answer any questions we had. On the wedding day she made everything so easy and made us feel so comfortable. My husband and I did not do a first look, therefore we had to do our family pictures, bridal party pictures and bride and groom pictures during cocktail hour. I was nervous that we wouldn’t be able to get all the pictures we wanted in that hour, but Nicole captured every single picture we wanted AND she finished early!!! We didn’t think we were going to be able to attend cocktail hour, but thanks to Nicole were able to enjoy the last 20 minutes of it!
We got our wedding pictures back less than a week after our wedding, and we are absolutely in love with them. She captured our day perfectly. Looking at the pictures took us right back to that night.
To anyone looking for a photographer, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NICOLE!!! She is absolutely amazing, you won’t regret it!!!!!

Nicole did an amazing job as our wedding photographer! We had her do engagement shoot as well which was so great getting to know her and our photos were beautiful. We felt so comfortable with her on our wedding day; she captured our day so perfectly! It’s been so difficult trying to pick my favorites because she really did just take the best pictures of us! I would highly recommend her for your wedding photographer needs! Thanks so much Nicole!

We used Nicole for our engagement photos and wedding day photos and she absolutely exceeded our expectations from day 1. My husband and I are not good at taking pictures but Nicole made us feel comfortable and we both had so much fun. On the day of the wedding, Nicole was so easy going and knew exactly what she was doing to get the best shots. I received my entire wedding album just about 2 weeks after my wedding and every single photo is amazing and album worthy. She also does family/lifestyle photos and I know I will be booking her in the future!

Nicole was awesome! She made our engagement pictures so fun and easy! We don’t take that many pictures as a couple so we were nervous how they would turn out but they turned out beautiful! She also got them back to us super quick. I would recommend her to anyone. I can’t wait for our wedding day pictures!

Nicole has been amazing to work with!! We pivoted from a large wedding to a backyard wedding for this year...and even changed our original date - Nicole was able to come out and capture the day. She is easy to communicate with and makes the photography process really easy and comfortable. She turned our photos around in less than a week! I would highly recommend her for any wedding needs. Looking forward to having her shoot our big day next year!

Nicole is INCREDIBLE. A 3,500 character review doesn’t do her justice. She is knowledgeable, understanding, creative, and funny. She made my fiancé and me feel so comfortable in front of the lens.
Nicole was helpful from the start. She recommended outfits, places, and times that would look and work best. She made the process seamless and lots of fun. I can’t wait for my wedding day because I know that Nicole will capture everything perfectly for us to look back on for the rest of our lives. Thank you again, Nicole. You’re the best!

We are so thankful that we were able to get Nicole for our wedding day!! She was so bubbly, friendly and great to work with! We had to reschedule our wedding and then got married during Covid-19, she worked with us to make the process easy and fun! On the day of our wedding she ran the show! Her and her assistance did an incredible job capturing a beautiful day during such a crazy time! We absolutely love our wedding photos and get so many complements on the photos as well as how great Nicole was on our wedding day! We recommend Nicole to all our friends getting married and look forward to working with her for future family shoots!! Thank you Nicole for being apart of our special day and capturing such special moments!!

I first met Nicole in March, riiight before the world shut down. At our first meeting Nicole went through all things weddings and engagement, even answering my questions before I asked them! Not knowing what goes into wedding photography, Nicole made me feel so comfortable right from the start explaining the timeline of wedding photos, the getting ready process, and even what happens after with picture galleries and photo albums. After meeting with Nicole I knew she would be a great fit for our wedding! This past July, Nicole did our engagement shoot and my fiancé and I were a little nervous (and sweaty due to us picking the hottest week of the year) but with no surprise Nicole made us feel right at home! With her bubbly personality, high energy attitude, and silly jokes, our nerves were calmed and our photos turned out better than we could have imagined! We are in absolute awe over every picture. Thank you Nicole for keeping us cool on a hot day and capturing every moment so beautifully- to the point where we can’t decide which ones are our favorites! We can’t wait for our wedding and highly recommend Nicole for everything weddings and engagements! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Had our engagement shoot with Nicole last night and she was absolutely amazing! Even in 95 degree weather she made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing the whole time. I was nervous not knowing what to expect but once we met with her all my nerves went away. We went to Washington Square Park in Philly and she found hidden spots that were beautiful. Can’t wait to see our pictures and have more fun with her on our wedding day! Thanks so much Nicole!!!

I would highly recommend Nicole she is awesome!! She was so accommodating with us for setting up a time to do our engagement session as we were coming from out of state. My fiancé does not like taking pictures but Nicole was so easy going and fun - she made it feel so easy and comfortable! I am obsessed with how our session came out and I cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding next year!!

Nicole is just the best! She may be the only photographer I've come to meet. But choosing her as our photographer, I couldn't of imagined the experience to go better. From the initial meeting to the moment of our engagement session, she made us feel so comfortable. Very prompt and informative, fun and so so kind! Would highly recommend her and I cannot wait for her to be apart of our wedding day!

Nicole is amazing! From the moment I met her for our initial consult, I was confident she would do a wonderful job photographing my wedding. She is extremely professional, organized, and kind. On the day of my wedding, Nicole went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I was particularly happy with how well she worked with my family members, particularly older relatives who wanted to take photos too. Nothing phased her, and our photos turned out beautiful. I am so happy we went with Nicole and would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for professional, affordable photography services with a personal touch. Thank you Nicole!

Nicole is amazing! My fiancé and I did our engagement session with her and we are in awe of the pictures. They are perfect! She made us feel so comfortable even though both of us could be a little awkward. We talked and she got to know us and we got to know her as well. Working with her was seamless and she felt like a friend I had known for a while. These photos are some we will cherish for a lifetime! We cannot wait to work with her again on the wedding day! Thank you so much Nicole!

Nicole is an absolute dream to work with. I couldn’t have picked a better photographer if I tried. I’m so beyond happy I went with my first instinct and booked her for our wedding! I didn’t even need to speak with any others, I knew she’d be the one for us. Her personality is amazing and my whole family loved her. It felt as though I knew her for a long while and was completely comfortable posing for photos (when I’m normally not). I’m beyond excited to receive all of our photos back - the little preview already has us at the edge of our seats. THANK YOU so much, Nicole!!! ♥️

Wow!!! From engagement to wedding day sessions, Nicole has been an absolute joy to work with! Easy-going, talented, professional and energetic, Nicole has your best interest at heart. Nicole will gladly take your photo suggestions (she let me twirl my heart out in my wedding dress haha) and gives amazing direction. I felt such at ease with Nicole on my wedding day, almost like she was a part of the bridal party. In fact, she helped me with my veil! Nicole promptly arrived at 1:00pm and stayed all the way to 10:00pm per my request. Also, I do want to shout out her awesome assistant Mike! Both were my hype people throughout the day saying such sweet remarks. (Husband and I did not do a first look.) Lastly being an anxious bride awaiting her photos, Nicole edited the album within two weeks! Now, I can't wait to fill the house with these stunning photos and be reminded of that magical day. Thank you for capturing our special moments, all involved have nothing but high praise for you!

Working with Nicole was beyond amazing! We first met her when we did a mini engagement shoot and she completely put us at ease when it came to having our picture taken. A little less than a year later and our wedding day with Nicole was perfect! She was extremely punctual when it came to her timeline but never made us feel like we were being rushed or falling behind. She kept the entire bridal party engaged and smiling, and I do not even have enough words for how great she and Cary were with the younger kids!!!! When we got our images, Seth and I could not stop gushing over how wonderful they are! The images that she captured not only told the story of our day perfectly, but created memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Needless to say, if you want a detail oriented, personable, fun, and extremely talented photographer, Nicole is the one!

Nicole and her second photographer Sara were absolutely amazing. We never even noticed they were there throughout the ceremony and the reception and she still got amazing shots. I haven’t stopped looking at our photos since she sent them. Her turn around time is really fast for wedding photos, only 2 weeks after the wedding. I would recommend her to anyone!

We had the best time on our engagement shoot. Nearly immediately we both felt comfortable with Nicole and ready to have some fun. She captured every moment, every smile, every joke, but most importantly our personality was captured in every shot. Not only did we have a great time that day, we got home and had a few photos before we went to bed, and we were in love with the experience all over again. We are so excited for Nicole to do our wedding, we could not imagine our wedding day without her help anymore!

Nicole and her team are amazing!! We used them as our wedding and mini engagement shoot photographers. All of our photos were stunning. It is hard to choose a favorite when they all look so good! The turnaround time to see our photos was so quick, which was awesome because I was dying to see them! Nicole did a gorgeous job with the edits! We had Cary on our wedding day and he was extremely friendly and shared many tips about the best way to pose or carry my dress through out the day. He made us feel at ease and captured so many special moments! I am so glad we hired Shilliday Photography as our wedding photographers and I would definitely recommend them!
