Meet Nicole

your Wedding & Elopement Photography Mentor

Hi! I’m so happy you’ve stumbled across my mentorship page! 

My name is Nicole and I am a full time destination wedding and elopement photographer based out of Nashville, Tennessee. I was an ICU nurse for five years before leaving full time to pursue wedding photography. My vision was creating a photography brand centered around serving wedding and elopement clients who long to be married and photographed within beautiful landscapes.

Today, I run a successful, multi-six figure business with the majority of my clients being destination weddings who found me from organic SEO web search on Google. I offer both vintage Super 8 Films and a unique planning client experience making it a no brainer for dream couples to book with me. By finding a strong brand identity, I have attracted absolutely incredible dream clients that make up my portfolio. 

My goal is to help you find & curate your vision to do the same, whatever that may look like to you. I’m an open book and I don’t hold anything back. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling creatively inspired and with actionable next steps ready to make your dream business a reality.

Looking to start implementing Super 8 into your wedding photography business? I'd love to teach you my process of making a Super 8 Film wedding film. Including but not limited to the best super 8 cameras to purchase for weddings & where from, what film stocks I use and why, scanning, production, color grading, and pricing Super 8 to clients.

Learning SEO (Search Engine Optimization) aka ranking on Google Search for photography key terms has absolutely transformed my business and I now receive 1-2 new inquiries per day just through clients finding me on Google! By effectively writing blogs with strategy to rank, utilizing keyword research tools, & photographer specific SEO tips & knowledge, you'll get your portfolio seen by so many more potential clients. I'll teach you how to track your website analytics so you can see the results in real time for yourself as you implement the SEO strategies.

If you're looking to start shooting destination weddings, I'd love to mentor you! Over half of my weddings every year are in destinations! I love to teach on reaching these clients through organic web search, how I do location scouting, packing camera gear & all my travel logistic & hacks, pricing for travel, and how to stand out in the niche destination wedding market.

to curate a meaningful, luxury, 5 star client experience

Splitting each client deposit into allocation percentages that work for your business (Ex. Operating Expenses, Owner’s Compensation, Tax Savings, and Profit), understanding your business margins, building out different photography packages, pricing psychology, and more. How to draft contracts, run automation campaigns within your gallery stores, & email workflows I swear by.

all things business: Finances, contracts, automations

Including creating client guides, the questionnaires I send, & complimentary services to provide additional value to your couple giving you consistent five star reviews and happy couples! Understanding what luxury clients are looking for in their photographer and how to provide an all inclusive service, like wedding weekends, to appeal to more dream clients.

If you're a wedding photographer, who wants to break into national park elopements & adventure weddings, you're in the right place. I shoot between 5-7 national park elopements per year and my ROI is higher than that of weddings! I'll teach you how I curate a unique planning experience & location guides / permit help for my elopement clients thus making it a no brainer to your eloping clients that you're the photographer for them!

If you're drowning in your workload as a photographer, you don't have to be stuck there. You likely just need a mindset shift and resources to get organized to diagnose the tasks you're currently doing that don't bring you joy or income. I'll walk you through what it's like to outsource and no longer be a solo-entrepreneur. Including all the logistics of how I've trained each of my team members (my editor, my social media manager, & my blogger / email assistant) to take tasks off your plate, thus allowing you to get back into the visionary role you had when you started & scale your business forward.
