The connections, the love, the biggest party of your life–these are all the priceless parts of your story that I love to make timeless. That’s what I’m here to photograph for you with my whole heart. Think of this: you’re living “the good ole days” right now! Who are you doing it with? What’s the big moment that’s happening? What’s the memory you’re going to be sharing with everyone a year from now, or 20 years from now?
Hi, I'm Nikki! I'm a SoCal wedding photographer based in Orange County, CA.
I capture love stories all around the world for couples who seek to experience their day with intentionality, presence, creativity, and positivity. When I'm not behind the camera, you’ll find me soaking up time with my partner and puppy, traveling the world, or curled up at home with a favorite show.
My passion for art and love of creating something positive and meaningful for others fuels everything I do. It’s an incredible honor that people trust me with a window into their life’s most delicate moments.
Before specializing in weddings, I worked in editorial shoots as a photographer. I quickly realized that weddings were the most fulfilling because of the deep trust couples place in me to capture their most precious moments.
Growing up in Orange County, CA, I've had a camera in hand for over a decade. For the past few years, I’ve been photographing weddings and couples, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

"Pure magic. Hire her right now. I promise you won't regret it."
Nicole is amazing. We told her we wanted to take beach engagement photos so she suggested the venue (laguna beach) and once we got there, it happened to be high tides that day. She was actually knee deep in the ocean water with me to make sure we can get the right shots. We were also particular about wanting our dog to be included in the photos and it worked out great because Nikki was so good with our dog, she herself is a dog mom and understood how important it is to include our fur child :) Once I got the photos, they looked AMAZING, I didn't even know we could look that good! I highly recommend Nikki's services. I would 100% use her again.

Absolutely incredible! Our elopement photos captured by Nicole are beyond words. They perfectly encapsulated the intimacy, emotion, and beauty of our special day. The attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism truly shone through in every shot. We couldn't be happier with the results - each image is a cherished memory that we'll treasure forever. Thank you for making our day even more magical with these stunning photographs! Highly recommended!
