I’m Nicole, an intimate wedding, destination, and elopement photographer + guide passionate about capturing genuine, true moments between two people in love. Like you, I adore traveling to new places, seeking new experiences, and finding adventure – creating a life that’s anything but ordinary. Quality over quantity has always been my mindset.
I’ve always been called to take the road less traveled + I’ve marched to the beat of my own drum for as long as I can remember.
I’m based in the Southwest, photographing intimate weddings, elopements, and adventures here in Austin, TX – but I travel constantly! 2023 will bring me to Big Bend National Park, Big Sur, Colorado, and New Mexico, among many other incredible U.S. and international locations.
Charting a course up a mountainside, hiking down to the sea or mapping out paths to secret groves are favorite ways to spend my day.
I love dreaming about the most beautiful, unconventional places for couples like you to spend a memorable day.
I wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m drawn to people who also love living life a little differently. If you’re like me, you feel called to challenge convention, to act in accordance with what is meaningful to you, and to create new traditions.
As a guide for destination elopements and intimate weddings, I help you create a celebration that honors who you really are.
I believe your day should be true to you, just as I strive to capture images that are honest and real.
I was trained in film photography while in college (think dark room) and have had a camera in hand ever since. Before becoming a full-time intimate wedding, destination, and elopement photographer, I had a 7-year career in the digital and tech industry, bringing order to chaos as a project manager and Director of Operations. Yeah, I have a thing for technology and just might be a nerd at heart! I am also a perfectionist by nature and highly detail-oriented – a great partner for helping you plan your wedding photography and keeping us organized every step of the way!
When not behind my camera…
I’m usually on my yoga mat, listening to Maggie Rogers, hiking, at a concert, watching The Office, or shopping for anything Aztec print: rugs, sweaters, wall hangings, you name it, I love it!
Three more things you might not know about me…
I’m bi-lingual in Sign Language.
Music is my heart. (I even scouted bands in Austin, TX!)
My Myers-Briggs is INTJ and I’m a 1w2, for all the Enneagram fans out there…this means I care deeply about everyone and everything, yet need a lot of alone time to refuel. I can take abstract ideas and form a plan of execution.
