  • "Thank you so much for the engagement photos, we are absolutely in love with them! Will and I spoke when he got home and we already knew we'd be happy with you [to photograph our wedding day], the vibe you give, your welcoming nature, the fact we can act like idiots and not be embarrassed and I think you'll appreciate our vision."

    Jaala & William

  • "Amazing session with Nikki. It was a very hot and windy day and I wasn’t sure if we would have many good pictures. Jokes on me they were all amazing! Definitely feeling more confident for the wedding!!"

    Liz & Pete

  • "Nikki was absolutely amazing taking our engagement photos! She helped us with location and outfit suggestions since we weren't sure on either, and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot which made it so easy to just have fun with it. And the photos we received are just stunning! Would definitely recommend Nikki!"

    Lea & Chris

  • "Nikki made us feel relaxed, comfortable and accepted for who we are. The photos are beautiful <3 They are so much better than I imagined :) Thank you so much. The engagement session was a great way to meet Nikki and become more comfortable in front of the camera before our wedding.”

    Chelsea & Nick

  • "I really have no words to describe how amazingly well Nikki captured my partner and I in our engagement photoshoot! ❤️ We are in absolute awe looking at the images of ourselves and it’s everything we imagined and more! We can’t thank Nikki enough for all her hard work in capturing, accomodating our belongings on the day, making us feel so comfortable and for putting the images together! The details in the pictures are mind blowing."

    Sid & Rowena

  • “Nikki made our whole experience amazing and I couldn’t be more pleased with her photos. Thank you so much.”

    Ali & MIchael

  • "OMG NIKKI!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 I have absolutely no words! Just tears and a heart so full! These are absolutely beautiful! I can not thank you enough. I thought I would just have a quick look so I’m not late to work but I couldn’t stop myself! These are all incredible!!!! Seriously thank you, thank you, thank you soo much!"

    Amber & Raymond

  • "Thanks so much for the photos! They are wonderful! It’s funny how feeling somewhat awkward at times doesn’t at all translate - they look very natural and lots of genuine laughter in there. They’re really lovely and you’ve done such a nice job with the editing and making the background folks disappear! I love the variety in locations and the lighting worked so well - those few with the sunset peeking through are gorgeous. Thanks a million, for the photos and the ease of the photoshoot itself. It definitely gives me hope for comfort in taking photos at our wedding next year (and sorry we can’t ask you to do our wedding - unless you’re planning a trip to Ottawa in Canada next early September!)."

My candid, fun, authentic approach!

I’ll be gently directing the both of you and creating prompts throughout your shoot in a way that will encourage you to feel comfortable in front of the camera and natural with each other. My approach is candid, playful and authentic to you as a couple. I love prompting smiles and laughter, as well as those more intimate moments.

Put simply – I am a pro at photographing camera-shy couples. My approach is usually pretty candid, fun and catered to each couple!
