Pristine quality

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Zach! He absolutely killed it, and we could not be more thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out. We’ve shared them with our family and friends, and they have all commented on how beautiful they are. Zach captured our day so perfectly—from the big moments to all of the little details and candid memories in between. Beyond being a very creative and talented photographer, Zach was genuinely such a joy to have with us. He was professional, personable, and helpful. We are endlessly grateful that Zach so beautifully captured these memories for us—photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Thank you, Zach!!

Zach was absolutely amazing in capturing our wedding day. We picked him because of his impressive portfolio and he did not disappoint. He was always making the effort to get the best lighting and shot while still making sure we were getting what we wanted. I would recommend Zach to everyone I know because of his amazing quality photos, quick turn around on getting them back, and he was very kind and understanding through the chaotic process of a wedding day. He is also clearly experienced in weddings as any general wedding questions we had he was willing to answer!

Highlighted review.

We chose Zach because we loved his portfolio and his experience photographing in forests, and he completely exceeded every expectation we had. Since our wedding was in a wooded ven...

ue with challenging lighting, we knew we needed someone who could capture it well, and he absolutely delivered. From the moment we started taking photos, he made us feel so comfortable that it honestly felt like we were spending the day with a friend. He has an incredible eye for finding the perfect spots and framing every shot beautifully, and he was even willing to walk into a cold river to get one of our favorite photos! He also cared so much about making our day go smoothly. He helped pin boutonnières, untangle my mom’s necklace, carry my dress train through the forest, and jumped in wherever he was needed. He was so much more than just our photographer. Looking through our gallery truly feels like we’re reliving our wedding day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We would recommend Zach to anyone in a heartbeat.

Zach exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding photographer. My husband and I eloped in the mountains, coming all the way from Indiana, and Zach was instrumental in making ...

our day unforgettable. He helped us find the perfect ceremony spot, offered location ideas for photos, and answered all our questions about the timeline. He was professional, warm, and so much fun to be around. His photography style is clean, timeless, and classic—exactly what we hoped for. Seeing our photos for the first time was incredibly emotional, and sharing them with loved ones has been so much fun. If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares and delivers breathtaking results, Zach is your person.

to detail that was very helpful in the planning process. On the day of the wedding, he made us feel very comfortable (since neither of us has been in front of a camera much), and he helps to guide you through the shots. He is definitely an artist and thought outside of the box to get some really unique photos at the venue. He takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows! It was also an added bonus to have the photobooth included in the package, and our guests loved it! We got our wedding pictures back within 2 weeks, which is so much faster than other photographers in the area. Overall, it was a great experience working with Zach and I would recommend him to any one getting married!

We could not be happier with our decision to work with Zach for our wedding! He is timely, a good communicator, organized, fun to work with, and an excellent photographer to boot! ...

Initially, his nature photography caught our eye, and we loved how he was able to capture the scenery of our wedding venue while keeping us, our family, and friends as the main focus of the images. We asked Zach to meet up with us for our engagement shoot in an area none of has been in before, hours away from where any of us lived, and he jumped in with both feet. We had a blast running around with him, getting to know him better, and got some amazing sunset shots. Neither of us have done photoshoots before, but Zach was very comfortable to work with, and guided us through both our engagement and wedding shoots beautifully. We highly recommend booking Zach for your wedding photography!

This is the same review I left on Google reviews, but I really did like Zach a lot! Zach Nichols went above and beyond for our wedding. It was in Lewiston and he was able to waive ...

the travel fee because we didn't need the engagement session, he was more than accommodating. The resulting pictures were beautiful. Its expensive but it is really the best way to remember your wedding day forever. And his clean and natural style is timeless and gorgeous. You will be happy you booked with him. I was a bad bride and was super non responsive and bad at planning and Zach still made everything go smoothly and had no issues. In person he is nice and easy to work worth, if I could give more than 5 starts I would. 10 outa 10 recommend.
