My daughter Sienna got married to Justin 2/4/17 and Nicholas did her wedding video! He was PERFECT for our family! As a mother of the bride you can't ask for anything more than someone to capture the moments that you have waited for all your parenting days! I was a single mom until my daughter was 6 and then by God's Grace met the most amazing man. I have a heart for any single parent who is committed to being all God calls them to be to their child. I have learned that Nicholas is just that...committed and determined to honor God in all he does! You will NOT REGRET hiring Nicholas and his crew! They capture every detail and more and you will be BLESSED to have them video your special day. Tamra Mother of the Bride. read more

If I could give Nick more then 5 stars I would! I met Nick at a wedding event at South Coast Winery and immediately fell in love with his work. He was kind, friendly and not pushy at all. We ended up booking with him right away and we definitely made the right choice! Nick and his assistant were amazing the day off! They were helpful with poses and made the overall process smooth and fun! Our pictures came out amazing! We truly love every single picture! Thank you Nick for capturing our big day! We would highly recommend! read more

Wow! Where do I even begin! We got married 6/24/17. Nick did our engagement photos, wedding photos and video. I cannot put into words how blessed we were to have Nick there throughout the whole process. He blew our expectations out of the water and we could not have asked for a better person to be there with us on our special day. He was SO easy to work with! He made us feel comfortable right away and was open and honest with us. He didn't do a lot of posing which was perfect. He let us be us which was a nice change from the typical photographers. The quality of his images and the time he gets them to you is unsurpassed. I look at our wedding photos every day and I'm blown away by them. Not only did he do our photos but he also helped with other vendors we still needed as well. Nick will be someone we recommend to anyone who needs a photographer. We will use him every time we need a photographer in the future. You will not find a better person to do your photos. read more

We love our Christmas photos of our baby girl! Nick was so patient and really worked hard to get Mia to feel comfortable and smile for the photos. My husband and I were so worried because you never know what you're going to get with a two year old, but Nick made her smile and made everything seem effortless. I'm so grateful we got such beautiful pictures, the colors look amazing and everyone loves them. Nick also did the pictures for my daughters wedding and I have them blown up in my office at work. I get compliments any time someone comes into my office. Great photographer, great shots and great prices! read more

My fiance & I are having a destination wedding in Temecula this October. Needless to say - choosing a photographer was one the most daunting tasks I have experienced not only in wedding planning - but in my whole life! I did a TON of research and somehow stumbled across Nick's website. I doubt I'll be able to articulate how thankful I am that I did. From the get go- Nick was extremely flexible and answered my long list of questions. His packages were affordable without sacrifice. Firstly, let me just say that Nick is an incredible photographer. Not only is he extremely talented, but his photos clearly show how much he truly loves his craft. When we started taking pictures, he took the time to go over poses and get us comfortable in front of the camera. He even took the time to show us a few shots while we were taking them so we could see how amazing they were turning out! I was nervous after our engagement shoot since we had extreme winds, but as soon as I got the photos from Nick - I couldn't have been happier! He's very creative and has an incredible eye for beautiful backdrops that only add to the beauty of his photos! He was quick to recommend incredible venues and multiple locations so that our pictures have a variety of backgrounds. Our pictures came out playful and gorgeous. It really highlighted our best aspects and we've never looked so in love! I have SO many favorites that I'll be spending a fortune to print them all out and frame them around our house! I absolutely can't wait for my wedding pictures! Thank you Nick!!! read more

The best photographer. I'm a guy who doesn't do a lot of photos, and I can tell he is terrific. He did the photography for our engagement shoot and wedding, as well as our wedding videography. Nick was terrific. His pictures look great because he has an eye for angles, lighting, and poses. He is professional, and for a wedding, he knows what shots have to happen. My groomsmen repeatedly comment on how he posed us. One even said, "I wish we had someone like that because all my photos ended up with me in the same pose in every photo!". Oh, and his photo booth was a hit at our wedding. Hire Nick. read more

Just did a mini family photo session on Sunday 12/1/19 and received our pictures Tuesday 12/3/19, wow that was fast! The pictures look amazing so excited to share them with our friends and family! Nicholas is also very flexible with his scheduling and prompt to answer your questions. Truly am happy with our pictures and will be using Nicholas Gonzalez Photography for all my picture purposes. Thanks for capturing such great pictures! read more

We are so blessed to have found Nick and hired him as our photographer. During our first meeting, he put us at ease and answered all our questions. His goal was to make our day smooth and efficient which my husband and I really liked. Nick was so easy to work with and generously offered to do more than expected to make our day perfect. Before the wedding Nick made himself available for questions and quickly responded to emails. He even took time out of his busy schedule to meet us in person when we were in the Temecula area. In the final weeks before to our wedding, we had a detailed phone call where he helped us finalize our timeline and brainstorm photo opportunities. The day of our wedding Nick and his colleague, Stien (so sorry if this is not the proper spelling), came in all smiles. They were flexible and filled our groups with great energy. The team took on a pressed timeline of shooting our 16-person bridal party and our families on top of organizing a thoughtful first look. Even in high pressure moments Nick and Stien were professional and patient. They took our input on what we liked and added their own artistic elements. We really appreciated the way they helped direct our positioning so that our photos looked natural. Throughout the event, Nick and Stien worked tirelessly running between areas to take photos, getting on the ground, and coordinating with each other to get the best angles. I remember telling them to relax once all the big items were complete and just when I thought they took my advice they would pop up to take photos of us dancing to our favorite songs. They even stayed to the last minute of our wedding to capture our final dance as husband and wife. The compliments we are receiving from our guests seem to be endless. When our highlights gallery arrived, we were in shock of how many beautiful photos we received all in a clean and convenient platform. Within a month we received all our photos - close to 1,000 shots - and they are all spectacular. Even my husband, who is not opinionated at all, is extremely happy with our decision. If you are looking for someone to make a stressful day easy and enjoyable, Nicholas G Photography is for you. We now have beautiful photos to cherish for the rest of our lives and we couldn't be happier. read more

Nick did such a great job capturing our wedding in October! Super nice and easy to work with! Great full coverage of our special day! what surprised me too was just days after our wedding day he already had a sneak peak of our wedding ready. This made us so excited to see the full video. Thanks Nick for your amazing hard work! read more

Not happy with my video. Promised to have a 3rd person for video only and multiple angles but not even close. Requested a refund and have not seen it yet even though he agreed to it. It's been almost a month since I asked for it. read more

We used Nicholas for our wedding videographer and I would highly recommend him! Nicholas was so great to to work with and we couldn't be happier with our video. We were on the fence with hiring a videographer but he was very patient and accommodating with me and I can tell you it was worth every penny! His pricing is very reasonable for the work he does, which is amazing. He really captures your wedding day and you don't even notice him so everything comes out so natural. Which is great for us because my husband and myself aren't so great in front of cameras. :) I really can't rave enough about how much I love our highlight video which is also set to the music of your choice. read more

I can not say enough about this gentleman. He brings amazing talent and energy to every occasion. Welcoming others to explore their desires with passion and creativity. I've personally watched and experienced him at work on several weddings and will always recommend him as one of my favorites. read more

We loved Nick so much, he did both our engagement shoot and the wedding. He is very friendly, thoughtful, and flexible with any changes we had. He takes the time to know you as a couple and the shots really reflect us. He has a very artistic eye and I'm so happy with the shots we got! On the day of the wedding, he helped direct us when everything got crazy and the photos just look serene and perfect. He covered a lot of ground and got shots from all sorts of angles. He was very respectful of our house and church which is a huge plus. He not only listened to us, but our family members and their requests. He was always accessible during the reception whenever we felt like we needed a specific shot. Another great thing about Nick is the turnaround time! We got about 200 highlight photos within the week of the wedding and the rest of the photos at the one month mark. It was so surprising how quick it was and we just couldn't be happier with it all. We completely recommend him(: read more

Nick took our family portraits in Maui and they came out beautiful! We couldn't be happier! We have a 3 year old son and a newborn baby and Nick was great with the kids, very patient and captured some great candid moments of them as well as posed photos too! He was very relaxed and great to work with and I was impressed with how fast he gave us the edited photos. I highly recommend Nick! read more

Nick photographed our wedding in May 2015 and he was absolutely wonderful to work with. He met with us several times prior to the big day to discuss the wedding day timeline and shot list. He was very professional and accommodating and made us feel comfortable right away. He took test shots, checked lighting, and scoped out photo-worthy spots at the venue. We explained the style of photos we wanted and he completely understood what we were going for. Not only is he a good listener, his photos are absolutely phenomenal. He and his lovely assistant perfectly captured our special day. Everyone at our wedding kept asking how and where we'd found Nick. He's the best!! read more

Recently used Nick for our engagement photos, we are so in love with the shots he got of us. Could not be more pleased with the turn around time and the quality of the photos. Would definitely recommend his service to anyone looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and want to have some fun while doing it ! read more

Nick was great for our son's wedding. He and his team were attentive, patient and creative. They also knew how to be unobtrusive. I have been to weddings where the photographer and videographer took center stage over the guests. With Nick you weren't aware that he was there.i can't wait to see the pictures and I am anticipating that they will be as good as the engagement pics. read more

I just had my wedding on May 24th, 2015 and I can't say one bad thing about Nick being our wedding photographer. My husband and I are so blessed and lucky to have Nick capture our special day. Picking your photographer is the BIGGEST task of your wedding planning process. We just received all our wedding photos and it brings back every single memory of our special day. He is really helpful during the wedding planning process and manages the wedding day extremely well. We are so happy with all our wedding photos. I loved every moment of the wedding shoot and I wish we could have just taken photos all day. His wife came along to help and she was such a doll. She helped out with my veil and carrying things that I needed. I would say to everyone looking for a wedding photographer to meet Nick. He will blow you away with his amazing photos, and his talented ability to create amazing photo books!! I will be using Nick in the future for all our photographer needs. He is absolutely amazing. :) read more

Truly, as good a it gets! I wish so badly that I could have known Nick when I married 6 years ago, but he was the photographer at my best friends wedding, and wow what an amazing job he did! Not only did he capture so beautifully the big moments, but somehow (don't ask me how) he was able to capture the small, fun, intimate, loving and equally important moments of the night. As I saw the pictures for the first time with the bride, I remember how excited she was realizing that he captured certain moments and how happy she was. Also, on a personal experience, Nick was able to do some professional head shots for myself, my husband and my friend. They came out amazing! we were looking for a very specific feel, since we have different careers. He was able to give us what we were looking for, and was able to guide us in a different direction, that ended up producing the best photos yet! Again, I am blown away by his talent, his kindness and professionalism. Thank you! Can't wait until the next photo shoot occasion! read more

My fiance and I are getting married in September ... We chose to go with Nick for our photos, really great work. We had a great time doing our engagement photos earlier in the year. We are really pleased with his work and can't wait for the wedding photos read more

Nick's work is amazing! He did my daughter's engagement photos as well as her wedding photos on 6/22/18. We couldn't be more pleased with his work. He took an an abundance of pictures and captured every detail possible. He was very polite and helpful throughout the entire process. Nick definitely comes highly recommended by my family! read more

Professional, artistic & fun! Nick did an amazing job on my family's photos. He was patient with my 4 kids and captured amazing memories! I would highly recommend Nick. read more

I want to start off by saying that I've never posted a review on anything before but today I feel the need to express my concerns. My name is Ashley and I'm in a same sex relationship with my fiancé Danielle. We were referred to Nick by a friend, saw his work online and thought it was great. Today I woke up to a text saying Nick refused to work with us because of our sexual orientation. Now, I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion and I have no choice but to respect Nick's decision. I'm writing this review not to bash him or his business, but to possibly let him know that all Danielle and I wanted was a beautiful photography session. We want him to know that our money spends the same as anyone else's, and that everyone deserves equal respect no matter what race, religion, background, or sexual orientation you derive from. I doubt my review will change anyone's mind, I just hope that it may encourage respect amongst all walks of life. read more

A good friend referred us to Nick for our wedding photos. He was AMAZING! He was super easy to work with, the most reasonable photographer that we priced (by quite a lot!), and best of all he and his crew took AMAZING pictures! He is very talented and has a great eye. We cannot recommend him enough and plan to use him for all of our family photos in the future. Thanks Nick!!!! read more

I could not be happier with choosing Nick to do the photography at our wedding. We loved our engagement shoot so much we decided to also book him for videography when we last minute decided to add that to our event. He was super accommodating throughout the entire planning phase but really shone the day of. He not only kept making sure we were getting the specific shots we wanted but he also was flexible with what we wanted, like asking if we wanted the wedding party to shoot first after the ceremony so they could enjoy the cocktail hour or if we wanted that for our family. He was very patient with my flower girl who is not yet 2 and adorable, but not quite easy to pose. He had a lot of helpers since he was doing both photos and video for us and yet he never once got in the way of our family's enjoyment of the day. So many people complimented us on our photographer, he really was one of the best choices we made. The photo booth we got through him was also a HUGE hit with our guests!! I would highly recommend getting that!! It was super nice that they not only gave our guests a copy of their pics but they also gave us (bride and groom) a book with everyones photo booth pictures!! We will love having that to look back on to remember our special day. read more

Just received all of our pictures from our 12/19/15 wedding at Danza del Sol Winery photographed by Nick...all I can say is we are speechless!! We love them all so much!! He did such a fantastic job capturing every previous moment! Just viewing them helped us to remember our special day so vividly! Thank you Nick and we will continue to recommend you to anyone who needs a photographer! read more

My Fiance and I used Nick for our Engagement Photo shoots at one of the wineries in Temecula and we loved him! Not only was Nick professional and helpful but he was also very flexible with scheduling our shoot. We were rained out the first time and had no problem reschedule for a time and date that worked best for everyone. The photos turned out better then we ever imagined! Both of us are camera shy and Nick really helped to capture the natural us in all his photos! The hardest part was picking one photo out of over 100 he sent us to use for the Save the Date because we LOVED them ALL!! We had the best experience with Nick and would recommend using him for an photo needs! We definitely plan on using him again in the future! read more

This review is LONG over due...I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Nick! He made our day so special and was beyond incredible. During our first meeting before we clicked and forgot we met up to talk business. Throughout the next 9 months of all the planning, Nick stayed in contact and was so flexible. The day of our wedding we could not of asked for anyone better. Nick, and his assistant who happened to be his wife Brooke, showed up on time and captured the most amazing pictures. Our family and friends couldn't believe how wonderful we was. Looking at Nicks portfolio before we knew he took fantastic pictures but when we got our CD it was more than we could of imagined. Every detail, angle, moment that we could of imagined and more. Thank you Nick and Brooke for being beyond amazing and capturing what we know no one else could of. read more
