I specialize in Florida weddings, engagements, family, maternity, seniors, and motherhood photography — documenting the moments that feel the biggest, the messiest, and the most alive. From the butterflies before “I do” to growing families and the beautiful chaos in between, my goal is to preserve your story honestly and intentionally. When you choose Salt + Heart, you’re not just booking a photographer for one season of life. You’re choosing someone to tell your story through all of it.
Hi, I'm Nikki - Your Florida Wedding, Engagement, & Portrait Photographer!
An experience that's both elevated and genuine does exist.
Not overly curated. Not forced into something it’s not.
Just the right balance of guidance and freedom, so you can actually be present in the moment while it’s happening.
This is where connection leads, emotion unfolds naturally, and every part of your story is documented in a way that feels honest, intentional, and entirely your own.
Here's how I'll capture your love story
Guided, never forced
You’ll never be left wondering what to do, but you’ll never feel overly posed either.
With a balance of direction and space to move naturally, your photos come from real connection, not stiff moments.
This is about being fully present in your day while it’s happening — not performing for it.
Digital + 35mm film
A blend of digital and 35mm film brings depth, texture, and something tangible to your story.
Digital captures the clarity. Film holds the feeling.
Together, they create a gallery that feels timeless, layered, and entirely your own.
Moments over perfection
The in-between moments matter just as much as the big ones.
The way your hand finds theirs, the laughter you didn’t expect, the quiet pauses that hold everything together.
Nothing is rushed or over-orchestrated — because the most meaningful images are the ones you didn’t see coming.
REAL STORIES. REAL PEOPLE.
REAL MOMENTS.
Every image you see throughout Salt + Heart comes from a real wedding day, real session, real family, and real connection. No styled shoots pretending to be weddings. No hired models presented as clients. No perfectly controlled moments created solely for content.
Just real people living some of the most meaningful moments of their lives.
From emotional wedding days and Disney celebrations to motherhood sessions filled with sandy toes, windblown hair, and beautifully chaotic moments, the work you see here reflects genuine experiences and honest storytelling.
Real moments are unpredictable. They move fast. They’re emotional, imperfect, joyful, loud, quiet, and impossible to recreate exactly the same way twice. That’s the magic of them.
My approach is rooted in documenting your story as it naturally unfolds while guiding you in a way that still feels effortless and true to you. The galleries throughout this website are a genuine reflection of what your experience and final images can actually look and feel like when working with Salt + Heart.
I will be in touch within 24 to 48 hours. If you can't wait that long, reach out directly at 352.225.1503 or hello@saltandheart.com
