The Process: From Inquiry to Friendship
Your wedding photography journey should feel effortless and personal — never rushed, never transactional. My process is relationship-driven and deeply intentional. It’s calm, supportive, and centered around creating images that feel like home so you can pass them down for generations to come.
Think of this as less “look at us” and more “this is us.”
Step 1: Inquire
Send me a note through my contact form and share a little about you, your people, and what you’re dreaming up for your wedding day. I’ll respond with collection details, answer all your questions, and make sure it feels like the right fit for both of us.
Step 2: Lock It In
Once you’ve chosen your collection, I’ll send over your contract and non-refundable retainer invoice. As soon as those are completed, your date is officially reserved on my calendar.
From that moment forward, you can breathe knowing your memories are in good hands.
Step 3: Teamwork
This is where we start weaving together the details that make your story uniquely yours.
- Timeline Support: We’ll collaborate on your wedding day timeline to make space for connection and real, unscripted moments.
- Location Scouting: Whether it’s a golden-hour field or your favorite coffee shop, I’ll help you find the perfect backdrops.
- Styling & Inspiration: Outfit tips, mood ideas, and creative direction — all to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
I’m not just here as your photographer. I’m your guide, your sounding board, and your partner in creating magic.
Step 4: Go Time
This is where the magic happens. On your wedding day, I’ll step in when you need direction and step back when you don’t. I’m there to capture the real, the quiet, and the chaotic joy that makes your story yours.
Step 5: Previews
Within 7 days, you’ll have a preview gallery waiting in your inbox. Relive the joy, share your favorite shots with your people, and start dreaming about the full story to come.
Step 6: Delivery
Your full gallery will be delivered in a private online gallery:
- Weddings: 4–16 weeks
- Portraits: 2–4 weeks
Every photo is yours to keep, download, print, and share for generations to come.
Step 7: Friendship
This isn’t goodbye. Your story doesn’t end when the gallery is delivered, and neither does my role in it. I’ll be celebrating with you as life moves forward — from anniversaries and growing families to all the in-between moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
These aren’t just photos. They’re your legacy — the images you’ll return to when life feels too fast, and the ones your loved ones will hold close decades from now.
Client Love
“Hiring Nicole was the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only did we get the most incredible photos, but we got someone who truly cared about us, supported us every step of the way, and felt like family by the end of it. If you’re wondering if Nicole is the right fit—the answer is yes.”
