Your love story deserves to be told fearlessly, passionately, and authentically.
Your wedding photos are not just keepsakes. They are the proof of how it felt. The shaky breath before you walk down the aisle. The way your hands find each other without even thinking. The tears, the laughter, the wild dance floor energy that no one wants to admit they started.
When the night is over and the dress is packed away, these are the pieces that stay. The color. The movement. The electricity in the air. The way your people showed up for you. The way you looked at each other like the whole world paused.
I am not here to stiffly document a timeline. I am here to capture the pulse of your day. The quiet glances. The deep belly laughs. The wind in your veil. The champagne spray. The soft moments that almost slipped by unnoticed. The loud ones that shake the room.
From our very first conversation to the final image delivered, everything is intentional. You will be guided when you need it and free to just be when you do not. I will hype you up, calm you down, fix your hair, fluff your dress, and then step back so the real magic can unfold.
I am a Florida wedding and elopement photographer for couples who want bold colors, big emotions, and a story that feels alive. Couples who care more about how it felt than how it looked on Pinterest. Couples who want their gallery to feel like stepping back into the moment, not just scrolling through it.
Years from now when you open your photos, I want you to feel it all over again. The nerves. The joy. The electricity. The love that wrapped around you and refused to let go.
Because your story deserves to be remembered exactly as it was. Vibrant. Emotional. Completely yours.

Meet the Heart Behind the Lens
Hi, I’m Nikki, and I’m here for the real stuff! The belly laughs, the happy tears, the stolen glances. I believe in capturing love stories that are messy, magical, and unapologetically you. With a passion for adventure and a heart for connection, I’ll be your storyteller, your cheerleader, and your confidante, creating images that will bring you back to these moments for years to come. Every image is created with the intention of capturing your story in its truest form.

As a wedding and portrait photographer in Florida, I don’t just capture how things looked — I preserve how they felt. Your story deserves bold color, honest emotion, and moments that feel beautifully, wildly alive. My mission: An invitation to anchor your memories in something real.
Gainesville carries a quiet kind of romance. The oak canopies dripping in Spanish moss, the wide open pastures that glow at sunset, the mix of historic charm and tucked-away countryside — it’s the perfect setting for emotional, joy-filled wedding days. As a Gainesville FL wedding photographer, I capture celebrations at venues like Sweetwater Branch Inn, Belle Oak Barn, The Barn at Lakeside Ranch, Rustic Oaks Ranch, The Clay Theatre, The Wooly, the Baughman Center at the University of Florida, and the rustic barns and ranches scattered throughout North Central Florida.
From refined garden ceremonies to barn receptions lit with twinkle lights and packed dance floors, my approach blends documentary storytelling with artful editorial guidance. The in-between glances. The warm Florida light slipping through oak trees. The rich, true-to-life color. The way your people react when you step into the aisle.

“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."
- Zoe Harrison & Max Walker
"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."
- Ava Brooks & Noah Bennett
"From our first meeting, she put us at ease with her warm personality and genuine passion for storytelling. On our elopement day, she was right there in the moment with us, guiding us when we needed it and fading into the background when we wanted to soak in the experience. The result? Stunning photos that are raw, real, and impossibly beautiful."
