TESTIMONIALS
“I could not recommend working with Nicole more highly!! We hired her for our August 2023 wedding & included an engagement session about 9 months before. It was so much fun getting to shoot with her for the engagement session, so that when we saw her the day of the wedding, we felt so at ease! When I say she was incredible the day of the wedding... We were dealing with weather issues & changing photo plans the morning of, and she was so helpful and flexible! She pivoted with us to find an indoor location, and I think we got even better photos than if we had stuck with our outdoor plan! She was so supportive in helping to plan our timeline and make sure we budgeted for what we wanted. Also, her work speaks for itself. We got our images back SO quickly, and we will cherish these photos forever. They feel like the perfect encapsulation of our celebration. (Pro tip, definitely get a roll of film or two - the film shots are some of my absolute favorites!!) We are so grateful for Nicole and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!”
“Nicole is the absolute best. I’ve worked with her a couple times now — once for headshots and just recently for our engagement photos and wedding, and I’ve never worked with a photographer that is so natural and easygoing, that makes me feel comfortable during photoshoots. I absolutely love her visual language and style — there’s an honesty and expressiveness to her work that I keep coming back to. I can’t wait to work with her in the future!”
“Nicole is a talented photographer who makes a wedding day photoshoot artistic and a little non-traditional, her photos do not feel prescribed, staged and cliche. She’s constantly scouting for the best light and unique backgrounds to capture the couple on their day. I was so happy with our photos, we had a variety of settings for each of the special moments of our day and the perfectly capture our moods, the celebration and our guests. The lighting in the photos was fantastic, as was the quality of the colors and placement of the subjects of the photo.I enjoyed working with Nicole, she has a calm and relaxed demeanor, but is always on the go capturing photos. I loved seeing her joy of photography, it is obvious that Nicole loves what she does and her goal is to create stunning photos for her couples. She also worked fantastically with our families and had incredible patience for the the larger family photo shoots. She doesn’t press “click” until she’s absolutely happy with the photo and everyone’s positioning and angles, she was constantly striving for the highest quality photos. Depending on your wedding size, Nicole may bring another photographer. We were very happy with him as well, he was also easy to work with and the two worked seamlessly and in-tandem during the ceremony, reception and of course while we were getting ready. For me, it was a no-brainer to hire Nicole after viewing her website where you can get an idea of her artistic style, and after our initial phone call. She has a Google doc for couples to complete and is very conscientious of your wants, needs and also any particular moments that absolutely have to be captured. We received our photos back in about 8 weeks which is standard, but she did give us some “sneak peeks” within a day so that we could have an early keepsake - we truly appreciated this.I really can’t say enough about Nicole and the quality and artistry of her photography, she is dedicated to getting quality photos and ensuring that your photos will be an expression of your wedding day.”
“We have hired Nicole to photograph our family several times over the last few years and we absolutely adore her and her services. I was initially attracted to her style of work that I found to be editorial and honest, and after my first session it was clear to me how she was able to capture the free and easy spirit of people being people- she’s very easygoing: a natural. We have a stunning collection of family photos from Nicole and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting the same.”
“Having Nicole as the photographer for our wedding was an absolute dream from beginning to end (I wish it didn’t have to end). We were planning our Wisconsin wedding from Washington, DC, so we had to put a lot of trust and faith in the vendors we selected even though we had never met or worked with them. From day 1 working with Nicole we knew we made the right choice. She was responsive, helpful, fun and instantly understood ‘us.’ On the day of the wedding, our entire wedding party, friends and family all fell in love with Nicole just as we had, and we knew our photographs were going to be amazing...we just didn’t know how amazing. She captured all of the emotions and beauty and moments of the day we wanted, and then so many more we could have never dreamed of.”
“Absolutely one of my favorite photographers. As a floral designer I really appreciate how Nicole captures each wedding, especially the flowers, while also creating art. If you’re looking for artistic and authentic photos, hire Nicole!”
“Nicole creates timeless imagery that represents the essence of who you are, in every season of life. She’s so great at framing, capturing portraits in a way that’s not stale, and she takes creativity to the next level. Her use of film is intentional and perfect, and the how she edits digitals is extremely tasteful- such great use of color, texture and light. Nicole is a quick shooter who sees what she wants, so every shot is valuable, and your time is respected. I am truly obsessed with every shoot I’ve done with her. She’s the best. NYLONSADDLE forever.”
“Nicole is simply one of the most talented and kind individuals I have ever worked with in the photography industry. My husband and myself are a photographer/videographer duo and have met so many people in our line of work and she shines brightly above the rest! Nicole did an at home visit with us in our home studio and we cherish the images she got of us and our three cats!”
“I have ALWAYS been a huge admirer of Nicole’s talent and style, especially in film. Her laid back energy calms you when you are in front of the camera, giving you her trust that she will capture those small, intimate moments. Her final product is always stunning, and leaves you extremely happy. Working with her as a co-worker and vendor, I have all the trust in the world that she will get exactly what she needs done for clients, and they too will love their final product. Boudoir, engagement, wedding, or professional photos, she’s your girl.”
“Nicole is the best photographer in the Twin Cities for capturing the essence of people and their events, milestones, or personal image. She does the portraits for my husband’s employee page, and she did my daughter’s senior portraits: all stunning. My daughter’s senior portraits are far superior to her classmates’, Nicole captured her essence and beauty. My daughter and my husband’s employees all feel comfortable during the photo shoots, Nicole is a treasure. Highly recommend her for your needs, especially capturing the beauty of a wedding day- she is the best in town. 10/10

“Our newborn photos taken by Nicole are absolutely stunning and so special. She was really able to capture the personality of the whole family. I most appreciated her calm energy and patience during the shoot and she was able to get us the finished photos so quickly. Highly recommend.”
