Let's get coffee!
Weddings are most definitely a favorite of mine - the romanticism of a wedding day is something that I just can't get enough of. Even if you don't need wedding photos, creativity doesn't limit itself, so I don't believe in limiting myself either. Do you need business, senior or family photos? Consultations are free and include a, freshly brewed, craft coffee (or non-coffee) of your choice! Sidecar Coffee is my jam and coffee dates feed my soul. I'd love to set up a time to meet with you to talk about you and what brought you here!
2022 Wedding Collections
Frequently asked questions...
Q: "What if we don't need you for 'X' time, but want everything within that collection?"
A: All collections are fully customizable to fit your needs, and I am happy to send custom quotes upon request.
Q: "Are engagement sessions included?"
A: A one-hour complimentary engagement session is included with every wedding booking. If you would like to add more time or professional hair and makeup, the 'session credit' in the top two collections can be used for those add-ons. :)
Q: "Are the digital files included with the engagement session?"
A: Digital files and / or products are not included with the complimentary engagement session. If you would like to use your session credit towards them, that is an option.
Q: "What can the 'session credits' be used for?"
A: Any additional sessions or add-ons. These are most commonly used for engagement session add-ons or bridal / boudoir sessions.
Q: "What if I don't want an album?"
A: While I can remove the albums from the collections, I highly recommend reconsidering that option. Wedding albums are tangible - something you can see, touch and smell (anyone else like the smell of books? Haha. Just me? Okay, nvm. :P ). It's your wedding day story - a book that you own. Unlike hard drives and social media servers, or anything technology based (which is constantly changing) ...albums won't 'crash' or become obsolete.
Q: "What's the benefit of having two photographers at our wedding?"
A: Having two photographers is going to increase the number of files received as well as allow for more of those 'candid moments' to be captured throughout the day.
Q: "What am I getting with you that I wouldn't with a different wedding photographer?"
A: This is huge. Even those that don't ask it, are usually thinking it. Haha! So 100% DO your research! Having more than 10 years of wedding photography under my belt, I've learned what I need to truly give my clients the time and attention they need. So you're getting quality, experience, and devotion. For most couples, it's their first time planning a wedding. I know how challenging it can be (I got married before Pinterest existed - haha!) so, while some photographers will just 'show up' on the wedding day, I am always doing my best to help guide couples through the wedding planning process. My brides receive my personal number and can call / text any time. Not many vendors offer a service like that. By the time you wedding day arrives, we're basically going to be #besties. Just saying... ;)
Q: "What do I need to do to book my wedding with you?"
A: Ideally, I like to meet with each couple before booking. These can be in person, Zoom, or phone consultations. I feel this is an important step before booking any photographer as it allows you to see how well you connect with the one vendor that you will be having the most contact with throughout the day. You want to make sure you vibe well, because nobody wants to spend their entire wedding day with someone they don't connect with.
Once we've had a chance to meet, and you feel good about moving forward, I just need a signed contract and $500 or 15% retainer to save your date. :)
Hi, I'm Nichole!
Over ten years ago, I was just a girl with an artist's heart and an engineer's mind (thanks, dad - haha). I dreamed of creating and designing, and thought I would find that in engineering, however, it was lacking in a few key elements that I am passionate about, leaving me feeling depleted and unfulfilled. So I embarked on a journey of finding my place in the world...and ended up here. I never imagined photography could be so technically complex, and beautiful. I love dreaming up the next 'great idea', constantly challenging myself to produce beautifully designed images and products. Want to know what vision I have for your session or event?
