I had to find a photographer asap and we reached out to Nicole from a friend's recommendation. I'm very happy it worked out this way. She was AWESOME! Especially if you have a small wedding (We had about 50 people) , she offers good deals on small weddings/elopements. Even regardless, she is a steal because she throws in an engagement session, FO' FREE. Our engagement and wedding pictures were stunning. She is a warm, friendly individual with a lot of talent in outdoor photography. We got soooo many compliments. Our pictures looked unreal, straight out of an outdoor wedding magazine! I recommend her for any photography outdoor related. Do itt!! Book her!! You can't fake her natural talent.

As soon as I got engaged last year, the first vendor that I wanted to find was our wedding…read morephotographer. I knew it was going to be a difficult task, given that I myself am a photographer and designer, so visuals were at the absolute top of my list. When we found Nicole we couldn't believe how easy she was to work with. We scheduled our engagement photo session in Santa Barbara one cloudy day and got to know her and her ultra helpful husband Scott. My now husband does not like to be in photographs. In fact, after a decade of being together, the engagement shoot was our first formal portrait session that we had ever taken. He was nervous, and so was I - but Nicole made us feel completely at ease. She was great at making us feel loose and worked with us to make sure we felt comfortable. Our photos came out amazing, and everyone we showed them to agreed! Months later, she took the time to speak with me before the wedding to go over every aspect that was important for me to capture. She was incredibly patient with me, since like I said, I am quite detail oriented! All throughout the process I always felt that she was part of "my team" and that I could count on her for whatever was needed. On the actual wedding day I was nervous of course but she worked wonders to capture the best possible photos in every location. From the bride getting ready shots, to the first look photos, to our sunset photos - she got it all! And the photos she took were spectacular! She even continued to photograph when our venue apparently forgot to prepare the vendor's dinner! Some things on the wedding day, you can't plan for, and she was so easy going despite that setback. Through hunger and fatigue she was still there capturing our day, which is more than we would have ever asked for! We're so grateful that we found Nicole and know that every couple who works with her will be over the moon with her results!! Her professionalism will astound you, as even her business cards and wedding media delivery are breathtaking!!

I paid $2,550 for my wedding photography and genuinely regret choosing this photographer. After…read moreposting an honest negative review, she even threatened legal action--despite having no grounds for it. It made me wonder how many couples before me have been pressured into silence. The online gallery she uses is extremely outdated and unreliable. It took me EIGHT attempts to download my own wedding photos--and I'm a software engineer on gigabit fiber. The issue was not on my end; her server repeatedly failed. Earlier in October, her gallery also included at least one photo that appeared to be warped by AI (two versions of the same image, one with my face oddly altered and facing the wrong direction). She said the final edits would be uploaded later, so I planned to re-download everything once those were ready. But by November, the gallery kept failing and I couldn't reliably access the finalized version at all. I wish I could upload the AI-warped photo here so others could see what I mean, but her contract prevents clients from sharing images in "unauthorized" ways--and based on her legal threats, I'm afraid she'd try to sue. The bigger problem: the USB drive included in my package--the backup in case the gallery failed--never arrived. She mailed it through USPS with no insurance or protection. When it went missing, USPS couldn't help, and the tracking number went nowhere. When I told her plainly that the USB never arrived and the gallery was repeatedly failing, her response was essentially: "Too bad. Pay again." She wanted $68.95 for a replacement and offered no assistance with the gallery issues. Refusing to replace a missing deliverable that represents a tiny fraction of the $2,550 I already paid felt shockingly stingy and unprofessional. She could have replaced it--she simply chose not to. And here's what should concern any bride: If the gallery had completely failed and the USB was lost, we would have had no access to our final edited wedding photos at all, despite paying thousands of dollars. No reputable photographer should ever leave clients in that position. Update: Only after I warned her that I would be leaving a negative review--and then actually posted it--did she finally offer to send a replacement USB. A few days later, USPS unexpectedly located the original package at a different facility, over a month after it had been marked "delivered." I picked it up and told her a replacement was no longer needed. Her reaction? She took that opportunity to double down and blame ME for USPS' mistakes, implying I hadn't done my "due diligence," even though we had visited the post office multiple times and called in, visited the tracking site, and in all attempts was told there was nothing they could do. A professional vendor insures important shipments, ensures deliverability, and advocates for their clients--not points fingers. To make matters worse, I later learned from my wedding venue who recommended her that -- independent of my complaint -- that they already happened to have removed her from their preferred vendor list prior to any outreach from me due to other unrelated, but repeated, issues they had with her independently which they had already given her feedback for, and which she was unable to improve on. Therefore, it appears that the concerns I experienced were not an isolated case. Apparently my wedding was the last wedding she would be photographing at my venue because she was already discontinued by the time I mentioned my problem to them. In my experience, when something goes wrong, she does not take responsibility and instead blames the client. With a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding, that is not a risk I would ever take again. Update #2: She later responded to my review claiming that I had already downloaded my photos in October. Sure okay -- I downloaded what was available back then after multiple attempts as well, but those files included the warped AI-looking image, which obviously meant they weren't the finalized edits. Who realistically would settle for that instead of asking that the final versions of the photos of their wedding they paid thousands for be provided? In her response she says, "This matter has been resolved and the client has received everything included in the contract." Sure, technically the gallery photos and USB eventually made it here, but during that whole process, it was pretty awful having to deal with her constant assumptions & blame, dismissiveness, repeated evasions of responsibility, and threats of legal action being taken against me for complaining.

I don't know where to begin so I'll start by saying we JUST finished our engagement photo shoot…read morewith Jamie. We got the full package (the most expensive one) that includes the following: 800-1000 images (all day), edited High res CD of images, engagement session, 8x10 coffee table album with 30 prints of your choice, and filler images photographers choice, 2- 7x7 coffee table albums with 10-20 prints of your choice for parents. I won't share the price as I imagine she'll increase them as her business grows (even at the time of booking I thought it was a steal!) but I would've been happy paying hundreds more based on our experience today. In case you don't have the time to read my novel, here are my main points: Jamie's communication with her clients is second to NONE (seriously, THE best wedding vendor I've worked with thus far). Her professionalism and honesty is what I love about her most. And ultimately, the reason we hired her is because she's a talented artist that has a way of making the most ordinary backdrops extraordinary. She flew in from CA this morning, got hit in her rental car on her way to meet us from the airport and still managed to make it with plenty of time to shoot the whole day. We had lunch and got to know her a bit before the shoot began. She's lovely, absolutely wonderful. And it was because she's so cool and laid back that we felt comfortable taking direction from her. We walked around Portland and followed her lead: she photographed us in front of random walls, parking lots and a record store and we completely trusted her. I kid you not the woman was on her knees, sitting on cement and walking into busy streets to get her shot, all while making us laugh and look good. She would shows us images from time to time and I was blown away. She followed us home for our second outfit and wanted to take photos of us there before venturing out into the city again. I never thought our home would be an appropriate location but it was. In fact, I'm looking forward to having these photos as a memento of our first home together. After one more outing into the city, we made our way to the gorge. I knew I wanted to shoot there as it's where my fiance and I got engaged. THIS is where I fell in love with Jamie even more. She literally climbed up wet rocks with fashionable boots on just to check out a spot to see if it would photograph well. Then she'd ask us to join her and we all made it up to the most perfect spot at Oneonta. It was magical, so fun and adventurous. I saw a few images of this shoot on her camera and I have a feeling the gorge shots will be my favorite. If I'm this elated over engagement photos, I'm sure I'll be over the moon with our wedding photos this summer. I cannot recommend her enough. Book her while you can, future brides!

They are more than I could have ever hoped for and I'll treasure them forever! Recently I was tasked with hiring a commercial photographer for the preschool I volunteer with. Knowing that Lauren was such a pro and had commercial experience, I was eager to get on her schedule. She communicated throughout the months of our planning about what to expect, and stayed in contact the day of the shoot as thunderstorms were forecasted. She made our cozy, loved school look so bright and inviting and we are going to love how these images represent our school for years to come.
