Nicole was incredible as our wedding photographer. She was so grounded, calm, and collected, and had amazing ideas for various poses for photos. She was incredibly helpful on the wedding day (doing things that went way above as just being the "photographer") and when we got our photos back, I was astonished at not only the moments she was able to capture, but how she really was able to infuse the love and energy of our wedding day into the editing style. I am obsessed with the photos and would highly recommend working with Nicole for an amazing experience!

A little about
hey, i'm nicole!
I have been a family and wedding photographer in Southwest Michigan for the past 11 years. My goal is to capture timeless imagery that feels joyful, nostalgic, and real. I am driven by light and connection. It is my absolute honor to document your best moments in a natural and intentional way. I believe photographs are heirlooms and that's why I want to tell your story in a way that can live on forever.
I was born and raised in the mitten. I'm a golden hour chaser and lover of light. I love a slow morning with coffee, reading on the beach, dance parties with my twins, binging Gordon Ramsay shows with my husband, and sipping on an extra yummy cocktail.
Whatever season you are here to preserve, I can't wait to connect!
love + light,
nicole

Our wedding photos turned out amazing and we will cherish these forever. Nicole is professional and also a very kind, fun person to have around on your special day. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Q
When you are ready to move forward, I require a 25% retainer at signing. The remaining balance is due two weeks prior to you date.
Will you travel for our wedding?
How does payment work?
You'll never regret having one! But, I am no stranger to being the sole photographer on a wedding day. I do think a second perspective definitely adds to your gallery. Seconds are extremely helpful if you have a multi-location wedding.
Definitely! If your venue isn't local to me, we will discuss mileage and any other travel fees on our phone call.
Do we need a second photographer?
You will receive your photos via an online gallery. You have rights to print but also can easily order from my online print shop. The number of photos in a gallery really depends on the hours of coverage, but I typically deliver 400-700 images.
How will we receive our photos, and how many do we receive?
Sneaks are sent within a week of your wedding day. Full galleries are delivered within 12-14 weeks.
When can we expect to get our photos?
Of course! I offer a complimentary engagement session with my largest package. You can chose not to do one, but your package price does not change. Think of this as not only my gift to you but a time for us to get to know each other before your big day. If your package does not include a session, they are $500 to add on.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes, of course! Once you inquire, if I have been to your venue I will send over a gallery from there. If I haven't I will send one that has a similar vibe.
Can we see a wedding gallery in full?
