Hi, I’m Nicole. I am a photographer currently living in Northern Virginia, born and raised in California.
My career began with teaching darkroom film photography classes after completing my Master of Arts from California State University, Northridge in 2013. Since then I have continued to grow and incorporate my range of photography skills within my wedding photography, utilizing both film and digital formats to give my couples the most authentic and unparalleled galleries.
I believe photography is the most beautiful blend of art and human connection. This idea has guided me to approach weddings with a distinct eye, mixing photojournalism and traditional art practices, while creating an elevated color profile so that the imagery is always true to its natural tones.
I’ll see you on the dance floor. xx

I go back to my own wedding photos and my family's often, they're what remind me what actually matters. My grandmother passed away in 2020, and the photographs I have of her are the most treasured things I own.
She and my grandfather mean so much to my husband and me that we got married on their 55th wedding anniversary. They were part of our ceremony, and I was lucky enough to have a photographer who looked for more than just the obvious on a wedding day. He caught the in-between moments most people would've walked right past.
Every couple's story is different, so that's what I chase: the specific, personal, easy-to-miss stuff that actually says who you are. The photos I have of my grandmother hold that much joy. I work hard to hand my couples that same thing.
if you're wondering why i do this sort of thing...
