Your wedding isn't just an event—it's the beginning of your unique love story that deserves to be captured with authenticity and artistry. Drawing inspiration from documentary filmmaking & storytelling, my intent is to capture your day as honestly as possible. When you look through your gallery in 50 years, I want you to be able to feel the way it felt to be there through my images & super 8 films.
Your connection is what makes your wedding beautiful.
While Nashville offers stunning backdrops for your celebration, my lens is primarily focused on you—your emotions, your family & friends, and the sweet ways you express your love for each other. Every couple brings their own story, and I'm passionate about documenting yours.
I'd love to hear about your vision and how we can create something meaningful images that reflects who you truly are as a couple. I am so glad you are here and would love to help give you all my tips so you can have the best ever wedding experience in Nashville!

I'm a Nashville based documentary-style elopement and wedding photographer who finds endless inspiration in earth landscapes and human connection.
My approach combines artistic landscape photography with storytelling wedding photography. I have photographed & filmed couples in over 25 states & 2 countries, helping them plan and execute their dream day. Whether that be outside at a stunning Nashville venue or downtown with their closest people in the city you fell in love in.
I believe the most powerful images happen when couples feel truly present with each other and connected to the landscape & environment around them. My role is simply to provide you a space that you feel so comfortable to feel your connection – and thus document it as it unfolds.
When I'm not photographing weddings or filming super 8, I am making lattes on my home espresso machine, working out, making ceramics, talking on the phone to one of my three sisters, or watching movies with my husband, Alex.

Super 8 Film video is like a living, breathing memory of your wedding day. With its signature grainy texture and dreamy soft colors, Super 8 film captures your elopement day into a moving scrapbook that feels nostalgic and timeless. There are some things, like the way your dress moved & the candles flickered at dinner, that photo just can't capture the same as video. Each frame moves like a classic home movie, capturing spontaneous moments with a sense of raw, emotional authenticity that modern digital video can't match. It’s super laidback, raw, & honest as your day unfolded.
Shot on 1970s vintage film cameras, 35mm film photos capture feeling that digital photo just can’t. The subtle grain, soft colors, and incredible dynamic range create images that feel both intimate and epic—capturing not just how your wedding day looked, but how it felt.
This is the same film that our parents wedding day would have been captured on which is why I love including it in your wedding gallery! Your once in a lifetime day deserves to be captured on all the mediums, and I love storytelling with vintage film!
The best time of year to get married in Nashville, Tennessee is between April and November! We have a super long wedding season in Nashville with our mild weather, colorful fall, & gorgeous spring blooms. The most popular months for weddings in Nashville are May & June and September & October. So if you're thinking about getting married in one of those months, definitely inquire early to be sure you get the Nashville based vendors you're hoping for!
For sure! You can check out my heirloom album guide by clicking the link here. My printed wedding albums are custom made and designed for you to continue the storytelling beyond your day & last for generations to come.
My photography style is documentary & storytelling. I'm always observing, so you can be fully present, I'm looking for moments that capture the feeling of your day.
So for example, instead of a million photos of just yourself getting ready. I watch for & capture things like your sweet grandma in the corner smiling & watching everything, the polaroids & your bridesmaid's robes scattered on the ground, & the view out the window that you looked out all morning. So that way when you look back on your day, you're immediately immersed in what it felt like to actually be there.
I use movement based posing to make natural, organic looking images. I'll never let you feel awkward and can provide as little or as much posing help as you need!
When it comes to editing, I describe my style as film inspired, earthy, & natural. I edit to enhance the colors of the landscape while retaining natural looking skin tones, bright white wedding dresses, & rich, earthy colors. I don't follow trends and want your photographs to age timelessly just like our parents & grandparents.
Totally! I LOVE being involved in the planning process. I provide questionnaires & guides to help you think of everything for your day and full timeline assistance.
Photography is such an intimate experience, requiring real trust, more so than you would have to have with say your caterer! By helping you plan & having scheduled meetings throughout the months, we get to know each other more & more and thus you're able to let me in and be your most vulnerable selves on your wedding day. I truly believe that by acquiring your full trust is how I'm able to get my most beautiful & meaningful images.
So in short, yes I will definitely help you with any planning you need!

"I discovered Nicole on Instagram almost a year before our engagement and immediately fell in love with her work. Booking her for our wedding was the absolute best decision we made. Every single photo came out better than I ever could have imagined!! We cannot recommend her highly enough. From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, Nicole's artistic vision and professionalism shone through every step of the way. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot as we got to know her, and she was open to our input on poses and specific shots we wanted. She also provided amazing advice & references on shoot locations, posing, DJs, and DIY flower services.
On the day of the wedding, she was helpful and calm as I began to panic over last minute details. The photos from our reception truly shocked me with their beauty. We had some string lights and candles (not that many) but Nicole took these incredible photos at dinner that captured the reflection of the lights in the windows and made it look like the whole room was filled with floating lights. She captured some of the sweetest moments of my family as well, including my grandpa, my niece and nephews, and our dog.
Nicole is truly an artist. She is SO SO talented and so incredibly kind. We haven't been able to narrow down the photos we want to print because there is just so much to choose from! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the breathtaking photos she gifted us. If you're going to spend more on one thing for your wedding, this is it!! The photos are absolutely everything and there's no one I would trust more than Nicole with documenting special moments."

"Nicole was absolutely amazing. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. My husband hates taking photos and actually said he had fun after we were done with our engagement photos.
Nicole was also extremely helpful throughout the planning process. I was able to facetime, text, or call her if I needed help. Nicole even helped me with the timeline for the wedding day. If I did not have Nicole my wedding would not have ran as smoothly as it did. She was such a joy and a calming presence on the day of the wedding. She did not make it feel like a production at all. We just got all of our photos back and they are absolutely stunning. She truly captured the exact feelings of the day.
I am so stunned by the art she created for us. If you are on the fence about hiring Nicole don't be. She is truly a joy to work with and her photos are stunning."

"My husbands and mine experience with Nicole has been nothing short of amazing! I’ve never met someone who cares so much about their work and does everything possible to make sure you love your pictures. We got lucky enough to have her take both our engagement and wedding photos and all we receive from our friends and family is how amazing they turned out! It would be a mistake to go to anyone else. She guides you perfectly and makes sure that you feel comfortable in your pictures. We will definitely keep using her skills for future milestones!"
