Well, hey there!

I’m Nicole, an extra smiley Boston based wedding & elopement photographer. My favorite things include baking sourdough and other goodies, family dance parties and snuggle puddles, wandering around a vinyl shop or local bookstore, and playing in the ocean to the point of wrinkly fingers. 

I live in a cozy home with my sweet husband, our sweet toddler and our cat Gemma in the heart of the North Shore. On our best days, you can find our little family cruising along the coast of New England, blasting our favorite tunes, and deciding where we’re going to stop for ice cream on the way home. 

My life’s work is capturing authentic, true-to-you moments for the joyful and in love. Did I mention my obsession with being there on my couples’ biggest day to capture them saying yes to forever? Well it’s my favorite and I might tear up just thinking about it (seriously though, I’m a total softie).

But whether it’s the day you say “I do” or the sweet in-between moments that show who you are, I am here to document your love in any way that feels natural and joyful for you. So if that means we’re hopping in the car to visit the burger joint you went to on your first date, or we’re going frolicking by the ocean, I am here for it all, my friend. 

More about my approach —

It’s time to get suuuper real for a sec. I care about this job a lot. Like, pour my heart and soul into it a lot. I believe in the power of storytelling and act as a historian for your day, capturing everything from the show-stopping to the sweet in-between moments, exactly how it unfolded.

These photographs are your legacy. You deserve images of you and the ones you love most beaming as you celebrate all that you are. While all of my couples come from different backgrounds and have a unique story, they are all unified in their undeniable joy to be around each other and celebrate their love. And I freaking adore that.

Candid moments that capture you two in your element will always be better than cringey headshots that remind you of 6th grade school picture day...AMIRIGHT?

I want to capture the day and your relationship as truthfully and naturally as I can. I edit my photographs true to color so you can be transported back to the moment I captured them. Vibrant and timeless is the name of my game. 

I also believe that every human is magnificent and never photoshop natural beauty. Nerdy editing tweaks and adjustments? Absolutely. Editing your awesomeness to fit some weird standard of beauty? No way. 

So if you’re looking for a photographer who is in your corner, wants nothing more than for you to have the best day, and will deliver a gallery that *fingers crossed* brings you to happy tears, you may have just found your wedding photographer, my friend.

“We don't have enough good things to say about Nicole, she is a such a genuine person and with hiring her...you get a friend too!”

As your wedding photographer, I promise to…

Support your love in every way.

Planning a wedding is hard enough and you don’t need more pressure. I’m here to support you through the process however you need. Vendor recommendations, location scouting, advice on outfits… you name it, I’m here for you.

 

Honor inclusivity.

No matter where you are from or who you love, you deserve to feel safe, respected, and celebrated. This is a business created with love and is at the root of every decision made. Hate has no room here.

Be your friend.

Part of telling your story is getting to know you + your partner and cultivating a friendship between the three of us. That way when I walk into the getting ready room on the big day, it just feels like another friend is joining the party. No extra nerves because ‘the photographer is here’ - just a real good time! I’ll be there tearing up behind the camera as you exchange vows and then switch up the vibe and shred it on the dance floor with you as the sun goes down.

“Nicole is simply the best! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Nicole doesn't just take amazing photos, she is also the sweetest and funnest person to have there on your big day.”
