Southern Love Creative was hands down one of our absolute favorite wedding vendors! We worked with Kendyll and Laura and they were both nothing short of phenomenal.
From our very first call with Kendyll, we just knew she was the one for us. She was so down to earth, easy to talk to, and really understood the vision we had for our wedding photos… authentic, fun, and not overly posed or staged. And they absolutely delivered!
On the wedding day, both Kendyll and Laura were such a calming, positive presence. They captured all of the right moments without ever feeling invasive or overly structured. They just let us be in the moment and somehow managed to document the magic as it happened. It honestly felt like having two extra friends with us that day (who just happened to be incredibly talented photographers).
The final photos completely blew us away, they were everything we wanted! We both cried. Any couple would be lucky to work with this team!!
LOVE this team!!! We used Laura for both our engagement shoot and wedding. She was so sweet and easy to work with, our awkward seem a little less awkward. Our photos turned out excellent.
We did use a second shooter for our wedding and Maria and Laura together were an awesome pair! Highly recommend.
Our wedding photographers Laura & Nikk was absolutely fabulous! They were the sweetest people, always so kind and attentive, making sure every detail was captured perfectly. Communication with them was a breeze—they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. And the photos? Stunning! They truly exceeded our expectations and gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for talented photographers who are a joy to work with and deliver incredible photos, look no further. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!
Steph did an amazing job with my engagement photos and all communication leading up to the day and after!! And when I made a special request with the photos, Laura went out of her way to help me.
Strongly recommend this company. The editing on the photos was great, the company is very professional and the online portal they use is very intuitive!
Highly recommend! The photographers are professional and assisted with getting all the shots I hoped for! The editing of our wedding album was perfectly documentary style, as I hoped. The photos help me relive our special day. This company is very impressive! Will be using again for other life events.
The photos that Laura and John are took for our one-year wedding anniversary party are AMAZING! We never doubted our choice on choosing Southern Love Creative as our wedding photographers but when we saw the pictures (and couldn't stop looking at them) it further confirmed we made the right call. They also exceeded our expectations on the quick turnaround!
Laura and John were absolutely lovely; they made us feel incredibly comfortable and we had a ton of fun with them! They had really cool ideas that we would have never have thought of and they captured our friends, family, and the spirit of our event perfectly. We look forward to cherishing the memories they helped eternalize for us for the years to come!
Very professional and timely.
I wanted candid photos in addition to posed. Our photographer Laura did a wonderful job capturing the special moments
Laura at Southern Love Creative Photography is a magician with a camera. Her warmth and skill made our Cinco de Mayo elopement unforgettable. Despite our initial camera shyness, Laura's gentle guidance and enthusiasm put us at ease, capturing our love story with grace and sensitivity. From our small ceremony at 6th and Onion to the East Side photoshoot and dinner at De Nada with our favorite people, Laura was there, ensuring every moment was beautifully preserved. Her genuine passion and kindness shone through every moment, making her not just our photographer but a cherished part of our day. If you want someone to turn your elopement into a dream come true, Laura is the one.
We LOVED this photo studio. I am so glad we went with Southern Love Creative for our engagement and wedding photos. Laura was incredible and, as a couple who doesn’t spend a lot of time in front of a camera, she made us feel so comfortable and really helped highlight "us." Also, going for the engagement shoot was so worth it! It helped get out any camera nerves and now we have nice (non-wedding) photos of us as well. We love how every single photo turned out and looking at each one takes us back to that moment on our day. Truly, couldn't be happier with them!
Southern Love Creative provided us with an extraordinary wedding photography experience that we will cherish forever. From the moment we first met Laura for our engagement session, it was clear we were in the hands of a professional that was passionate about her craft. She carried that momentum forward along with the rest of her team for our wedding day. Laura was always open to our ideas and made sure to include specific shots we wanted in the final product. Even though we knew a great deal of meticulous planning had been involved behind the scenes, the entire process felt incredibly candid and natural, allowing us to enjoy our day without feeling overly posed or pressured. The team’s professionalism also shone through in their seamless collaboration with our videographer and wedding coordinator. They were timely in delivering the final photos and the quality of the work was nothing short of exceptional - each image truly a work of art that perfectly captured the feel, aesthetic, and important moments of our day. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories from our wedding that Southern Love Creative has given us, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!
We are so grateful to Laura and team for capturing our wedding day! From our very first meeting, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her enthusiasm and professionalism put us as ease, and she took the time to understand our vision for the day.
The result was a perfect blend of candid and staged shots. She scouted the best locations at the venue, and gave us great creative direction on how to pose - we are so excited about the final photos! Our wedding party and guests also loved the photos. Would highly recommend Laura and team for your wedding and/or engagement shoot! If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also a pleasure to be around, Laura is your girl!
I had Laura as my photographer and she was so sweet! My entire family kept talking about her weeks after the wedding saying how amazing she was. The photos turned out beautifully!!
I couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Nikk and his team! Nikk brings a laid back and calm approach to what otherwise is a whirlwind of a day - allowing us to be in the moment, and just so perfectly capture the story of our wedding.
I was blown away when we got our photos back. The little moments you may not have remembered or noticed, Nikk gets. From emotional embraces with friends and family, to misty eyes from parents in the crowd, to your uncle breaking it down on the dance floor. I'll cherish our photos forever. Highly recommend!
Had the BEST elopement photography from Laura with the Southern Love Creative team!!
My husband and I are beyond happy and loved how our photos came out. Laura was so awesome to work with - professional, communicative, flexible, friendly and supportive of what we all wanted from our photos. This made our day so special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
It’s been almost 6 months since we got married and I can safely say that time has in no way mellowed my appreciation for the fabulous work of Laura! Every step of the way she was warm, fun, insightful and incredibly generous with her time and energy. Her work speaks for itself, but I still have to add that our wedding photographs are better than we could have ever expected or dreamed of (direct quote from one of our guests – “They are the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen!!”). The style of her photography is simply stunning and she managed to snap every tiny detail of the day – she did not miss a moment and the end result is truly amazing photography that captures every emotion of the day beautifully. We can not thank Laura enough and we will forever cherish our pictures!
We couldn't possibly be happier with our experience working with Laura at Nikk Nguyen Photo!! Both my husband and I feel a little awkward in front of the camera, so we were worried our photos would look stiff, but they don't at all! Laura made us feel so relaxed so that we could just be ourselves. We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Laura. We highly recommend doing that so you can get to know each other before the day of the wedding when there is so much other stuff going on. After the wedding, our family kept commenting that they were so impressed with how Laura moved around so seamlessly and got great shots of everyone throughout the night. Our photos are perfect and we will treasure them forever. Thank you Laura!
Laura Kathryn from Nikk Nguyen Photography did an incredible job capturing our intimate elopement at the Commadore Perry. She made us feel comfortable and her talent shines through in her work. Highly recommended!
Laura was amazing. Our wedding photos turned out just as we hoped and she was such a pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her and Nikk Nguyen Photo enough.
WOW. Just wow. Me and my husband booked Nikk basically the second we got engaged about 1.5 years before our wedding. We immediately knew we wanted to work with him for our special day. He’s a true artist, all our our photos look like they should be on a magazine cover. We were in utter shock looking through the photos. He captured every detail, moment, and encounter so perfectly. The tones and hues on the photos are MAGIC, I cannot believe that’s what our wedding day looked like. We also chose to add on the video package and we are SO happy we did. The video perfectly captured the energy, love, details and the epic party we threw. We genuinely cannot stop watching it. It’s like a music video of the best day of our lives with all of our favorite people. Nikk and his team were so incredibly calm, cool and collected on the wedding day which is exactly the energy we needed on our big day. We cannot say enough amazing things about Nikk and team. Book them ASAP, you will not be sorry
My experience with Nikk and Laura was amazing. Initially we had planned to have Nikk shoot our wedding but do to a busy schedule he wasn't available. He suggested we have Laura take our pictures and i couldn't be happier with the results. Laura captured all the important moments with ease and in a crazy short time frame. She was also extremely professional and easy to work with. The pictures where also edited & finalized super fast which was awesome. I can absolutely recommend hiring Laura for your special day.
Laura was amazing to work with and the photos are spectacular. I am so so happy with our decision to go with them.
When my partner and I had a small courthouse wedding in September, it was important to us to find a great photographer. Laura was such a dream to work with. She was responsive and accommodating, especially as we worked through figuring out how we wanted our wedding day to look. Laura brought such a fun energy and vibe to the day and she got along with everyone perfectly. My partner and I are a little camera-shy, but shooting with her felt so natural and she got so many fantastic shots of the day. She was full of great ideas and did such an amazing job capturing our personalities and our relationship in the photos. We couldn’t be happier with how well the photos turned out, and we would recommend Laura to everyone we know in a heartbeat.
Laura photographed my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. She was an absolute delight to work with. A sweet and fun personality. She did such a beautiful job of capturing their personalities and telling the story of the day.
Nikk and his team were so incredible. We had a very long wedding and they were prompt, cheerful, and flexible throughout a very intense 12 hour day of shooting an Indian fusion wedding. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this experience- My engagement photos we’re stunning and he managed to capture both of us authentically without having to force unnatural poses or situations. I truly believe Nikk can make even the least photogenic or awkward person look amazing in photos. Out of all of my vendors I am most grateful that we hired Nikk for our wedding - If you have the opportunity to work with this studio then you are in luck - just do it, don’t think! You will be incredibly pleased with the comfortable experience, amazing photos, and just good hang. Highly recommend.
Super happy we picked Nikk for our wedding day! Nikk is super chill and professional. The gallery exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who's easy to work with and delivers epic photos, I would totally recommend Nikk. 5/5.
Having great photographs was one of the most important details for me when I was planning our elopement. I dreamed of sitting at my kitchen table with my kids in 20 years and reminiscing like my parents would do on holidays. To say that Laura delivered is an understatement. I couldn't have imagined having that day captured in a more authentic way - you can see the joy through the lens and each time I go through the album I relive the best day of my life. The time and attention they spend with you as a couple did not go unnoticed and I couldn't recommend working with them more.
We are so happy and grateful for our beautiful wedding photos! Nikk was very easy to talk to and easy to work with, from our first call and on he made sure to talk through all of our needs. The day of the wedding, our photographer, Laura, was absolutely amazing!! She was so easy and fun to work with and she made the whole experience extremely comfortable. Even in such a short amount of time she made sure to take all of the photos we were hoping for. She was also so sweet and kind to our friends and family, I cannot say enough great things about her! And the final results were gorgeous!! The moments that were captured and the edits that were made were just stunning. I couldn’t believe they were our wedding photos! I would highly recommend booking Nikk and the Southern Love Studio team for your wedding photos!
Nikk is nothing short of an artist. Truthfully, we knew we wanted to hire him before we were even engaged, but we had no idea how unparalleled working with him would really be. He so perfectly captured not only beautiful photos but the way we felt the entire day. Him and his team have a true talent in capturing moments you never even dreamed of, but once you see them, you can’t live without. Speaking of his team, all of them are a powerhouse performing at the same caliber and it’s a sight to see to see them in their element. Above all else Nikk is a super chill and down to earth guy who will make you feel completely natural and comfortable in front of the camera. If you want perfect wedding photos that will last through the ages, book him and his team asap!
We are in absolute awe of how our wedding photos were able to capture the immense love and joy we felt - it’s actually wild. Booking with Nikk was the first, and easiest, decision we made when deciding our wedding vendors. From our first conversation, we knew we were in good hands. We loved that Nikk doesn’t do the traditional “posed” photos - he lives very in the moment and that is the reason we got absolutely smashing photos for our wedding. We had Laura photograph our pre-wedding shoot and our Pithi event, and had Laura and Nikk photograph our wedding and just wow. From our first photo to our last, Laura made us feel so so comfortable that our shoots were FUN! We joked at the end that Laura was actually family because it was so seamless integrating her into our events knowing she would capture them beautifully! On our wedding day, Nikk and Laura crushed it - we were running really late but they both made us feel at ease and you can literally see how calm and stress free we felt in the photos - that’s a true testament to them as a team. There were shots we didn’t even know they were taking and I cannot explain enough how much those unexpected shots were my favorite. If there’s any decision you should make for your wedding or any event it’s to book with them!
Nikk was one of the very first vendors we chose for our wedding. After seeing his work and what he was about, I knew he was the only photographer I would want for our special day. There is so much authenticity in his photos. He captures all the raw, beautiful moments instead of staging them. I never once felt like I was forced into posing for a bunch of photos or that I was taken away from the actual experience. It can be overwhelming finding a photographer when there is a sea of people to choose from, but his work is unique and definitely stands out from all the others - art that is simply effortless yet stunning. He did both our engagement and wedding. Both times were so comfortable and fun and it honestly just felt like we were hanging out with a friend. Nikk will probably be one of the most chill, easy going people you meet. If you want to hang out with someone really cool and also get the best photos ever, he’s the one!
You won’t regret booking with Nikk! From the beginning when we did a phone consultation Nikk has been extremely professional, easy to work with, thorough, and responsive. We had a small ceremony with only ten people at a gorgeous venue and wanted someone who could capture the intimacy of a small ceremony in a way that fit with our personalities. Nikk was that person. He was laid back, unobtrusive, and gave us amazing direction when posing us. We are both super awkward when taking photographs but Nikk made us feel comfortable and made it a fun process and I just remember laughing almost the entire time. We received our photo gallery a little over three weeks after. Our photos came out even more stunning than I could imagine! It was a good mix of posed and candid photos. The candid photos make me so emotional when I look at them because they feel so intimate, authentic, and I don’t even remember Nikk being there to capture the moment. That’s how unobtrusive he is. He seriously worked his magic and has an amazing eye and made us look like we belonged in a magazine. Everyone that we have shown the photos to have said the same thing: they can feel the love and happiness radiating from everyone in each photograph. I can’t even begin to express how much we love our photos and how pleased we are with Nikk’s service. We would recommend Nikk to anybody!
Nikk truly out did any expectations my husband and I had for a wedding photographer! He went along with our ideas and vibe for the day easily. He captured so many blink of the eye moments. His turnaround was much faster than we expected. He responded to any questions or concerns we had so quickly. We are obsessed with our photos and cannot thank Nikk enough for capturing our wedding just the way we remember it!!!!
From the beginning of our wedding planning journey, we knew that we were looking for a photographer that could capture the beauty of the day in a casual and fun manner. As non-traditional wedding advocates we were keen to avoid too many stuffy staged photos and Nikk’s unobtrusive photojournalism style was a perfect fit for our outdoor barn and brewery celebration. Nikk was super professional and responsive throughout the planning process and we received our full gallery of edited photos back within exactly a month’s time. He has a great aesthetic eye, and we love that our photos have a really unique visual look. Nikk also has a ton of sample shoots on his website so you can get a really comprehensive understanding of his photography style. Ultimately, working with Nikk was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding day.
Best photographer and team in Austin! Very professional, great energy, and pictures turned out incredible! Highly recommend!!
Nikk is the most laid back photographer I have ever worked with. He made the day so much easier by allowing space and time even when shooting us! He was quick, knew what he was doing and required nothing from my husband and I. Having someone calm on your wedding day is a must and Nikk is your guy for that! We choose him because of his style and were thrilled to work with him because of his view towards what was important - US!
Nikk is a true master of his craft. He did such an incredible job photographing our wedding & the photos are breathtaking! He captured all the best shots - a perfect mixture of posed and candids!
Ok if you are looking for a great photographer and amazing photos it’s Nikk. We worked with him on our engagement photos, and we had the best time. Nikk is the best in the biz- he knows what he’s doing, made us feel 100% comfortable in what would have otherwise been awkward posing moments, and was fast! His aesthetic is also really cool - very natural and authentic. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else !!!! If you want good photos and to work with a cool human being, work w Nikk.
Nikk’s team shot our wedding in June 2022 (photography and videography) and from the first shot to the last shot we were so pleased with the quality of everything! His team truly captured all of the emotion and joy from our big day with the most beautiful aesthetic. We have so many favorite photos and can’t wait to cherish these memories in images forever. The video was also AMAZING and made my husband and I tear up from joy. Our vows were woven so perfectly into the video and they caught so many sweet moments. They know what they are doing and will guide you through posed shots with ease and get candids without you even realizing. 11/10 recommend!!
From the beginning, we felt fortunate to book Nikk as our photographer after viewing his portfolio. He was very clear and forthright about his own process and we continued to have wonderful interactions with him throughout, including when we, unfortunately, had to reschedule due to covid. Working with him on our wedding day enhanced the experience for us due to his enthusiasm and dedication to his art. He was excited from the beginning that we were to be married at Justine’s Secret House and his strengths really shone through in the many candid shots he took to capture the whole evening from the guests arriving through the gates to the closing dance party. Nikk was confident, hardworking, and a lot of fun to be around. We will not forget leaving our guests for a moment of respite just with Nick to capture some stunning photos outside the venue with the grittiness of East Austin in the background. We were in the hands of a true visionary!
Nikk absolutely blew it out of the water at our wedding. Not only is he incredibly professional, but is super easy to work with, and the final photos were outstanding. Would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer.
We had Nikk photograph our wedding and he did such an amazing job!!! Has such a great personality and his work speaks for itself. He was super easy to talk to and made the atmosphere so comfortable for all the close up photos we took. He was full of picture ideas and would direct us to all the great scenery we were surrounded in. If you’re looking for a photographer who is going to make your BIG day go smoothly Nikk is your guy!
I had a 2 day affair for my wedding. Nikk’s associate, Nicole, shot our reception and Nikk shot our intimate wedding. I cannot recommend Nikk and Nicole highly enough. The photographs are so beautiful, cohesive, and wonderfully tell the story of our wedding. They both went above and beyond to capture us in the best scenery, with the best angles, and with true emotion. Thank you so much Nikk and Nicole!!
Nikk was amazing to work with for both our engagement photos and wedding! His style is relaxed and personable which allowed my husband and I to feel comfortable and have fun! He was able to interact with our guests and capture some incredible moments vs. traditional and posed photos which is exactly what we had hoped for!
Nikk consistently over-delivered, was timely, and offered great advice and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer sure to capture all the FUN memories.
Thank you, Nikk!
We had the best experience with Nikk and his associates. They shot our engagement photos, as well as our wedding. They captured the emotions of our big day PERFECTLY. they are true story tellers, and just looking at my photos brings back all the feelings. They’re so kind and awesome to work with, and kept us laughing on both occasions! We will only use them for any event we have here on out. They don’t disappoint, and everyone raves about our pictures. We’re so happy!
My husband and I couldn't be happier to have worked with Nikk and his team. We first met Nikk a year earlier when he photographed my sister's wedding. After seeing how professional, easy-going, and overall great Nikk was to work with, we knew that we would want him to be part of our special day. Due to a tight schedule, Nikk could not capture our day, so he suggested we utilize his associate program, where one of his highly skilled associate photographers captured our wedding instead. While, at first, we were a bit nervous, Nikk reassured us that our photographer would be great and that Nikk would still handle all of the edits. Nikk made us feel so comfortable with this whole idea, and we decided to move forward, and we are so happy we did. Nikk's team was so professional and fun to work with; we had a blast the whole wedding weekend. If you are trying to decide whether or not to work with Nikk and his team, the answer is YES! I promise you that you will not be disappointed. I can't wait to cherish our photos for the rest of our lives.
If there’s one piece of advice you’ll hear while wedding planning, it’s to invest in a great photographer and we’re glad we listened. We were blown away (but not surprised) by how beautifully Nikk captured our day and are so happy that these are OUR photos...for forever. They're priceless.
We looked at a handful of photographers that had a photojournalistic style and Nikk’s talent was clearly on another level. We asked each of them to share a full gallery from one of their weddings and many were a mix of great and mediocre shots but Nikk’s were perfect storybooks from beginning to end. We booked an engagement shoot because we needed a nice photo for our website and it helped us feel more comfortable and know what to expect on the wedding day. I’m extremely camera shy but he gives good direction and makes the most awkward people look good. He was awesome to work with, made the whole process stress-free, and was really on top of things – crazy quick communication, followed up with us on details, professional but equally laid back, and his turn around times were so much quicker than we expected which was a nice bonus. Can't recommend him enough!
Due to Covid, we wanted an unconventional yet intimate wedding. It was really difficult to find a photographer that could accommodate, and be willing to work with us. I’m also very particular with photo styles too, but when I came across Nikk’s photos while searching, I was instantly captivated by his photos and the vibes that came out of it.
I automatically booked him, and we scheduled a consultation. Nikk was super chill , friendly and prompt with his responses. The day of the wedding came, Nikk arrived and captured every moment. He would provide cues and suggestions on how to pose whenever any one of us felt awkward. He was also really fast to capture the candid moments too! From us dancing, to our nephew smiling, the little moments that you sometimes don’t think much about- he captured them all. After the wedding ended, I was really excited to see the photos. I didn’t want to rush because I know photo editing takes awhile, but of course, Nikk is an all star- so we got our photos earlier than expected!
Looking back, we are happy we had Nikk document our day. We had no big agenda but the pictures conveyed and told a story I originally hoped to have captured- a beautiful moment to look back and smile about. We are so grateful to Nikk and definitely recommend his work. I can’t express enough on how great he is professionally but also personally too. We really will cherish our photos and can’t wait to book him again in the future for another chapter of life.
I found Nikk’s work via pinterest during the early wedding planning stages. I reviewed his website and decided to book him first and plan the entire wedding around his schedule. Nikk captured so many beautiful and authentic moments throughout the day and evening. I could not be happier with the final pictures. I would recommend Nikk’s services and team to anyone who is planning a wedding.
When planning my wedding, I was nervous about all the various vendors, scheduling, whether they would show on the wedding day, etc… from the moment I first got into contact with Nikk, I knew I wouldn’t have to worry at all about working with him. He was incredibly responsive, and made me feel at ease from the first conversation.
As for the event itself, Nikk was very personable and friendly but completely non intrusive. My husband and I are super awkward but he made the process so easy and comfortable.
As for the photos, Nikk is a lighting wizard. Seriously. My wedding looks like something out of an Oscar winning movie. I am also not one to ever feel beautiful, but there are a lot of shots where he almost tricked me. For this, I am thankful.
I can’t recommend him enough and will be looking for his services for any other life event in the future that requires a photographer.
Nikk was fantastic. He really listened to what we wanted (lots of candid photos//dancing photos) he didn't just listen day of but he remembered what we had asked from our initial phone call. He has such a vision and his second shooter, Laura, was fantastic, too! They were so stealthy, capturing every important moment without being "in your face". When we got our pictures back I was shocked at how many moments they were able to get and I hadn't even realized they were anywhere near us, ha! Amazing. I recommend Nikk emphatically!
Nikk & his team were absolutely phenomenal. Better than 5 stars. Extremely professional, made us comfortable from the first moment we spoke & understood our vision perfectly. Lindsey was our photographer on our wedding day & she was an absolute rockstar. Words can’t describe on how amazing our photos came out & how truly special she made our event. She captured everything I could have hoped for & more. I couldn’t be happier with how everything came out. Absolute perfection.
Going with Nikk to capture our wedding photos was one of the best choices we made in planning our wedding. It's clear from his website that he is a very talented photographer, but I was blown away when our pictures came in. He captured every single important and special moment from all different angles and perspectives - if I didn't know better, I would have thought there must have been two of him! I have received so many complements on the coloring of the photos, and it's true, the way he edits the photos make them so romantic and simply so perfect. I've been to many weddings where the bride and groom have opted for multiple photographers and/or videographers, and although I'm sure the captured result is lovely, it tends to distract from the magic of the moment (for the guest at least, in my opinion). Nikk was unintrusive and was able to create a beautiful story of photographs from start to finish. He was also so helpful, responsive, and flexible when trying to plan the ceremony start time etc. - which is huge when you're trying to juggle a thousand different things to plan a wedding. I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out, we will cherish them for a lifetime!
Nikk was such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. Even though we were generally inexperienced with these types of photo shoots, Nikk expertly guided us with posing/photo suggestions as well as captured our most subtle and candid moments that we will cherish forever. He perfectly captured the essence of our small ceremony, while maintaining a quality we'd expect for a much larger wedding. We highly recommend Nikk for weddings or events of any size. We know you will not be disappointed!
Nikk was one of the VERY first decisions we made for our wedding and for good reason! This is because we were looking at photos of our venue and fell in love with them. Turns out all of our favorites were Nikk’s photos and right then and there, we knew we wanted him as our photographer. He was a true professional throughout the entire process and his direction made everyone feel at ease, making it very easy to have a good time and focus on the festivities. It’s hard to describe what makes his photos unique but all I can say is, when looking at the photos from our wedding day, they evoke and reflect the emotions we felt at the exact moment the photo was taken. His photos are all about the people and the moment, which was so important for us! All we can say is, Nikk is the absolute BEST!!!
Nikk was absolutely wonderful through the entire process. Our wedding happened pretty quickly, we had about 3-4 months to plan and I was just crossing my fingers to find a photographer on such short notice. Thankfully Nikk was available and he is exactly who I wanted! He took the time to get to know us and our style, knowing how nervous we are in front of the camera, he made everything feel easy and we have so many beautiful pictures as proof. They have a soft, romantic feel and I'm so glad he was there to capture not only the special moments but the fun ones as well. He managed to be at the right place at the right time. I think his pictures captured the exact feel and mood of the evening. He was friendly, easy-going, and flexible! I couldn't recommend him more!
Nikk was such an important part of our big day! The photos are stunning, unique, and captured our wedding perfectly. Nikk and his team were so easy going, kind, and a delight to spend the day/evening with. They listened to what we wanted to do and made helpful suggestions. We were searching for a photographer that could capture the day and night without it feeling forced or posed and we found that in Nikk and his team! He also was highly communicative, quickly shared sneak peek photos the next day, and turned around the compete collection quickly. We would highly recommend him to anyone in search of a photographer.
Nikk and his associate Lindsey have been wonderful throughout the whole process! Nikk communicated every step of the way making sure we were familiar with the process. We were worried about having to pose for photos - which neither of us are good at, but Lindsey made it fun and casual. She took candid photos of us, our guest and little details, which captured our day perfectly. We couldn't be more grateful!
Nikk was our first choice and I am so happy he was able to do our wedding, I could not be happier with the outcome! The pictures have so much depth and color, which gives them a life like quality. He was extremely professional and his confidence with everything really helped to give me confidence that they day was going to be amazing (which it was)! I highly recommend Nikk but if you need any more reasons why, check out his gallery on his website!
If we had to sum him up in only 3 words- above and beyond. When you choose a photographer, you’re choosing someone who is going to capture all the most important moments in your wedding. Nikk and his team did that and more. From our first contact email to the receival of our gallery, he was transparent.
Not only is he an honest person, he’s an AMAZING photographer! Our photos are more than we could’ve asked for- it’s the little moments that we didn’t even get to see in real time, things we wouldn’t have even known if they weren’t captured. Thank you for not following us around like we were the only people there. Without telling him, Nikk knew what was important. Thank you for seeing the beauty in every moment, big AND small.
Before we met Nikk, we had actually invested in another photographer who was not transparent and just not a good person in general.
The moment we spoke with Nikk over the phone, we instantly forgot how angry we were and how afraid we were of investing in someone else.
He completely erased our fears, and we are so thankful we had the chance to work with him.
Forever grateful

My husband and I came across Nikk's work when we were wedding guests at a friend's wedding and we knew we wanted to book his team for our special day (s) . Working with Nikk's studio was a seamless experience - he was thoughtful, responsive, and put us at ease through the whole process. We were so happy with the end results and would recommend his work in a heartbeat!
