The thin mountain air. Water so clear it mirrors the sky. Manicured gardens in full bloom. Historic mansions glowing at golden hour. Castle walls that feel pulled from a storybook. An open ocean horizon as your ship glides into sunset.
This is what happens when you build a celebration around who you are, not what’s expected.
Maybe that means vows beneath towering peaks. Maybe it’s a garden ceremony wrapped in florals and champagne light. Maybe it’s a black tie evening in a grand estate where every detail feels cinematic. Maybe it’s sailing into open water with your favorite people, fireworks lighting the sky as you step into forever.
However it unfolds, it’s layered. It’s immersive. It’s meant to be experienced, not just attended.
I’m there to shape the vision with you, guide the energy of the day, and document it with bold color, intentional composition, and the kind of movement that makes it all feel alive. The architecture. The landscape. The wind in your hair. The quiet hand squeeze before everything begins.
From mountaintops to manicured gardens, from historic estates to Disney Cruise decks, your celebration deserves imagery that feels as unforgettable as the setting itself.
You built a celebration around who you are, not what’s expected.

"She was prepared for anything — rain, wind, unexpected changes — and her excitement was infectious. Our photos are beyond breathtaking; they feel alive. "
Each one takes us right back to that cliffside, feeling the wind in our hair and the love in our hearts. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to tell your love story, look no further. From the moment we first connected, Nikki made us feel seen, heard, and valued. She didn’t just capture our wedding day; She captured us. Every little detail, every stolen glance, every burst of laughter — all the moments we didn't even realize were happening. When we look through our photos, we don’t just see images, we feel the joy, the love, the electricity of that day all over again."

crafted with intention
01. BUILD YOUR TIMELINE AROUND LIGHT: The best photos don’t happen by accident. Prioritize golden hour and leave breathing room in your schedule so nothing feels rushed. Light changes everything.
02. CHOOSE A LOCATION THAT FEELS LIKE YOU: Whether it’s a coastal breeze, a historic estate, a garden in bloom, or open water at sea, your setting should reflect your energy. The right environment elevates the entire experience.
03. STAY PRESENT, NOT PERFECT: The most powerful images come from real emotion. Don’t worry about posing or performing. Focus on each other and let the moments unfold naturally.
04. PLAN FOR FLOW, NOT JUST EVENTS: A well-designed day feels seamless. Thoughtful transitions between moments keep energy high and stress low, especially for destination weddings and elopements.
05. INVEST IN WHAT LASTS: Florals fade. Cake gets eaten. Your photographs are what remain. Prioritize imagery that feels intentional and timeless.
06. LEAVE SPACE FOR THE UNEXPECTED: Some of the most meaningful moments are unplanned. Build flexibility into your day so there’s room for laughter, weather shifts, or spontaneous magic.
07. TRUST YOUR VENDORS: When you hire experienced professionals, let them lead. The best celebrations happen when you’re not micromanaging every detail. Trust the process, lean into the moment, and let your team handle the rest.
STEP ONE / We connect & shape the vision
We start with a real conversation about your story, your energy, and what kind of setting feels like you. Together, we shape a vision that’s intentional and personal.
STEP TWO / We design the experience
I guide the details — location ideas, timeline flow, thoughtful planning — so everything feels seamless and stress free.
STEP THREE / You live it fully
When the day arrives, you stay present. I document the full story as it naturally unfolds — bold, emotional, and completely yours.
THE PROCESS
let's do the dang thing!
DO YOU TRAVEL THROUGHOUT FLORIDA FOR WEDDINGS
Yes. I photograph weddings all across Florida, including Gainesville, Orlando, St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Tampa, and coastal destinations. Travel within Florida is always welcome.
WHAT IS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
My style blends documentary storytelling with gentle guidance. I focus on emotion, connection, and honest moments rather than stiff posing or forced perfection.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
Most couples book 9–15 months in advance, especially for peak Florida wedding seasons. If your date is sooner, I’m always happy to check availability.
DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS WITH YOUR WEDDING COLLECTIONS?
Yes. Engagement sessions are included in most wedding collections and are a wonderful way for us to connect before the wedding day.
DO YOU CHARGE TRAVEL FEES FOR WEDDINGS IN FLORIDA?
I do not charge any travel fees for weddings that take place in Florida. Inquire about destination weddings out of state or international weddings.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
You will receive a wedding preview of 50 to 100 images on Facebook within 72 hours. I will upload those images to your gallery and send it via email so you can download the preview for yourself. The rest of your gallery will be delivered within 85 weekdays.
HOW DO WE BOOK YOU FOR OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
I will create a custom booking link for you to complete. It will contain a contract, couple questionnaire, and invoice for retainer. The retainer is 30% of your wedding package and the remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding. Payment plans are available.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE MY WEDDING?
If you need to cancel your wedding a wedding cancellation contract will need to be signed by both parties. The retainer is non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, I will make every effort to be available on your new date. If I am already booked, I will send associate photographers from my team on your wedding day. I will still complete all the editing of your gallery.
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?
You will receive a minimum of 50 to 65 images per hour of coverage. This will vary depending upon wedding coverage, wedding moments, and reception events.
WHO DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I PRINT THROUGH YOU?
I recommend printing through professional labs such as mpix, bayphotos, and Miller's professional images.
WHAT TIME SHOULD WE SCHEDULE OUR CEREMONY FOR?
Pay attention to where the sun is at your ceremony location. Look at when sunset is for that day and if daylight savings time plays a role for your wedding day.

about planning a wedding or elopement
Not sure you’re ready yet?
That’s more than okay. Most couples reach out before the details are set. No date. No venue. Maybe not even a location. Just a feeling that it should be something unforgettable.
Bring me the ideas, even if they’re still forming. Turning big visions into intentional, beautifully executed celebrations is what I do best.
