As a plus size woman, I was petrified of how professional photos would turn out of us. Not only did she make my (now) husband and I both feel so natural and comfy, but the whole experience was FUN. She sent us soooo many next day sneak peaks. I thought it would be like 1-3 photos! Nope! And there's still so much more to come! Looking forward to seeing the rest of them read more

Nicole is truly amazing! My brother and sister in law recently hired her for their intimate courthouse wedding at the old OC courthouse and she exceeded every expectation we had. First, her work speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely beautiful. Second, she has an incredible eye for detail. She made sure everyone was positioned perfectly and noticed the little things most people wouldn't even think to adjust. Those small details made such a difference . Three, she is the sweetest! Her customer service is top tier and genuine. We all felt like she was someone we've known for years. She made the entire experience at the court house so much easier. She also knows the courthouse inside and out, so she guided them to all the best locations for photos . I can't recommend her enough!!!! If you're looking for a wedding photographer, stop searching and book her. You'll thank yourself later... and then you can come back and tell me I was right! Thanks Nicole!!!! read more

We got married in February 2025, and our experience with Nicole and her team was nothing short of amazing. We first met Nicole at a wedding event in 2024, and from the moment we met her, we were drawn to her incredible energy! Even though we felt an instant connection, we still took the time to shop around, but somehow we kept coming back to Nicole. After considering the best price, her availability, glowing reviews, and the personal connection we had with her, we knew she was the one. And let me tell you, we did NOT regret it! I RECOMMEND her and her team 10000%. On the day of the wedding, it honestly felt like she was my personal cheerleader. I'm usually camera shy, but Nicole made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the day. One thing I absolutely loved was how she sent us about 30 sneak peek pictures the very next day while she worked on the full set. It was such a thoughtful touch, and it gave us a glimpse of the magic she was capturing. As someone who's curvier, I was a bit worried about how my photos would turn out, but Nicole knew exactly how to capture all the best angles. I am beyond in love with the photos, and I'm so grateful for the bond we created with her throughout the process. I'm already planning for the next event I'll need a photographer for, and you bet I'll be hiring Nicole and her team again. If you're on the fence about hiring her, don't hesitate--she is amazing! read more

Nicole was our wedding videographer and took photos for us at our Welcome Dinner the night before. We couldn't recommend her more. The photos from the night before were perfectly candid and casual (which is what we wanted) but they also captured the joy of the start of the weekend. The video she produced was stunning and included all of our favorite moments from our wedding day. I'm so grateful to have that to watch over and over again and share with my family. read more

We recently had the honor of having Nicole shoot our wedding. From the first time we saw her pictures on IG, we knew we had to hire her and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From start to finish, Nicole was incredibly easy to work with. Her professionalism came through in every interaction, and she has an exceptional ability to truly capture joy through her lens. This is the main reason we wanted her as our photographer. She has a way of capturing joy and happiness authentically in every shot she takes. Nicole made us feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. My husband and I are not usually comfortable in front of a camera, but we had so much fun and felt so at ease as she posed us and took her pictures. She was a master at keeping us on track with our timeline but also showed great flexibility when things ran behind schedule. Her calm demeanor and adaptability were just what we needed as we made adjustments. She also helped us develop our wedding timeline, which was invaluable! We've had a series of emergencies leading up to our wedding day that impacted our budget. Nicole listened to what was most important for us and graciously customized a price package that worked for us. This level of accommodation and understanding made a huge difference. Look no further than Nicole to capture your special moments. We look forward to hiring her for future events. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can't recommend her highly enough! read more

We used Nicole as our wedding photographer in 2024. She was amazing! We switched up the plan and she was very flexible to accommodate us. (Luckily she was available on the new date). She was a clear communicator, quick responder, and had a fair price. As a LGBTQ+ couple, we are grateful she was supportive. The most important part is that we love our photos! We highly recommend using Nicole for whatever reason you may have! read more

Nicole and Photo - Session Photography Near Me

Nicole is truly spectacular--an artist through and through. She captured some of the most stunning photos I've ever seen, and I still can't get over how effortlessly beautiful each one is. Nicole made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and she somehow made both my husband and me look and feel like our most gorgeous, confident selves. She took charge when it mattered most--making sure we got every shot we wanted, and gracefully directing a large (and sometimes chaotic!) group of family members with ease and kindness. Her eye is unmatched. We didn't just get one style of photography--she gave us variety, depth, and a full gallery where every photo feels unique yet cohesive. It's a true work of art. Nicole also brought along Jeff and Nathan, who were absolutely lovely and added so much to the experience. The whole team was professional, warm, and just a joy to be around. Working with Nicole was one of the best parts of our wedding, and I trust her completely. I will 100% be hiring her again--no question. Side Note: Yelp won't let me add my photos. read more

We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Nicole and her assistant videographer Randy for our wedding. From our first phone call to the last minute of our wedding, Nicole was always so happy and helpful to make us feel comfortable with each other in front of the camera. She is both mindful of our requests and gives great advice for what we can do to get those amazing shots. On the day of our wedding, Nicole and Randy were always so prepared and guided us seamlessly. They were also kind enough to always encourage and hype us up throughout our big day! We loved working with Nicole from start to finish and we would recommend her to anyone wanting to preserve their memories with her wonderful talents! read more

Nicole and her team were our wedding photographers. We planned our wedding in less than a month and were in need of a photographer. I went through 50+ portfolios and with only a couple weeks away from the wedding, I came across Nicole & Photo. I fell in love with her portfolio and instantly reached out. The booking process was very easy. She contacted me right away and got a little insight of my vision. I put all my trust on her hands and she delivered! My husband and I have worked with many photographers for our annual photos for the past 6 years and we both have never felt more comfortable in-front of the camera than how we did with Nicole and Thomas. She made, what was a very stressful day, not stressful. She was very positive and such a hype girl! We LOVED our sneak peaks and cannot wait to see the rest of the photos. read more

If you're looking for a photographer for your engagement, wedding, anniversary, or anything else, you found her. Nicole is amazing, just take a look at the photos and reviews. She's an amazing photographer and she's incredible to work with, seriously. When I was planning my proposal, with a surprise engagement shoot, and a surprise party after, I was about ready to lose my mind with all the layers of planning and surprises. Thankfully, Nicole had great ideas for the whole project from the start and she helped bring the whole idea to life. Thank god we had her there because my fiancée and I basically blacked out from the start of the proposal through the end of the shoot just enjoying the moment together, and Nicole walked us through the whole shoot and captured everything we could have possibly wanted. She made us feel comfortable through all the poses and took care of everything so that my fiancée and I could just have fun being together and enjoying the moment. Seriously Nicole is amazing. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Nicole recently shot my family holiday photos and we are so happy with how they turned out. She also did some new headshots for my company and employees + I'm so grateful to her for her great way of directing clients as well as being a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough. I'm so glad we met while working a wedding together and I truly believe she loves what she does. Thank you Nicole! read more

My husband and I had Nicole and her partner take care of the videography at our wedding. First of all, her prices are extremely reasonable. I knew that videography was something I wanted at our wedding to capture some key moments of our ceremony, but I didn't have the budget for something extravagant. Nicole talked with me and helped me decide on a package that was within my means but also covered everything that I had wanted. But beyond any of that, Nicole was an absolute pleasure to talk to and work with. You can tell based off of the other reviews on here, but she exudes positivity and really helped me feel celebrated, taken care of, and listened to both before, during, and after my special day. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about giving you something that you can cherish, someone who is passionate about her photography and videography, and someone who carries such a contagious excitement and appreciation for the beauty in every little thing, Nicole is your gal. :) Nicole was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and delivered our wedding video to us in a timely manner. My husband and I both loved the final product! read more

Nicole was such a pleasure and super easy to work with! She captured such beautiful moments, even though we had our modest party at a local park.

If you're looking for a photographer, look no further. Seriously! Nicole is it! My husband and I hired Nicole for our engagement/proposal shoot and our wedding and we are SO SO SO glad we did. Our photos came out BEYOND BREATHTAKING. For both shoots, I sent Nicole inspiration photos/angles and she made sure to bring those with her on shoot day. It made it easy for us to reference when trying to think of poses on the spot. In addition, Nicole came up with her own pose ideas given the lighting, location, etc. She's really incredible AND fast! I have no idea how she does it, but the photos come out so incredible. Honestly, her work speaks for itself - just look at our photos and you'll agree too. My husband and I cannot recommend Nicole enough. She's so sweet, accommodating, patient, creative, trustworthy, reliable, honest - she puts her whole heart into what she does and it truly shows. Thank you so much, Nicole. You make us look like movie stars and we are beyond grateful to know/work with you. We appreciate you and can't wait to see the rest of our photos/videos! read more

Whether it is for headshots/branding or an event, I can not recommend Nicole enough! read more

For our two year anniversary, my boyfriend and I wanted to try something new, so we decided to try a photoshoot together. We didn't have much experience with posing, so we were nervous that we would be awkward in front of the camera. Nicole made the whole experience so comfortable and was amazing at directing us to capture both posed and candid moments throughout the session. With her direction and creative eye, we now have beautiful photos of a really fun experience that we'll be able to look back on for years to come. Highly recommend Nicole for your photography needs - reasonable pricing, great communication throughout the whole process, and passionate about her work. We will definitely be reaching out to Nicole to work with her in the future! read more

I recently inquired about photos and video for my business branding with nicole and one of the main reasons I booked her was that she in fact did photography AND video. Upon reaching out she was very prompt in responding to my email and we eventually set up a call to figure out the direction I wanted to go. She is incredibly personable and 500000 much fun to work with. She has amazing ideas and captured angles and content I could not have imagined for myself. Nicole diligently worked hand and hand with me in creating very cool reels and has become someone I have hired already for future projects. Got to keep the magic going! read more

Nicole was a pleasure to work with. Even though she came in at the last minute, she did an outstanding job. She listened closely to what we wanted and delivered beyond our expectations.

Thank you so much, Nicole, for an amazing job! read more

I had the time of my life when taking my maternity pictures with Nicole. She's amazing! Highly recommend.

Nicole did such an AMAZING job with a recent maternity photoshoot. I was lucky enough to win one of Nicole's giveaway and happily gifted the reward to two of my closest friends who are expecting their first child in the Springtime. Despite it being a giveaway, Nicole produced some very sweet and precious candids and guided the couple with some posing techniques. I am very pleased with how the photos turned out, and would definitely recommend Nicole to others whether they are experienced or inexperienced with being photographed. Rest assured, you'll be in great hands with Nicole! read more

I highly recommend Nicole! She is an absolutely amazing photographer! I work in the wedding industry so I know a good photographer when I see one. We hired her to do our family pics. It was a sunset shoot so we didn't have a ton of time but she made it so relaxing and fun! Both my husband and I are shy in front of the camera but she made it so easy to get those candid shots! We got beautiful photos and I will definitely be hiring her again. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Nicole and her team truly saved my twice postponed Covid wedding with their AMAZING photos, her flexibility, her upfront pricing and enthusiastic attitude! My original photographer for 2020 lost his assistant during the pandemic, so was unable to do photography and videography for our day in 2022. I posted on a bride Facebook page needing a photographer in less than 3 months. Nicole reached out right away with a clear price and package, while others wanted to "discuss prices" after I said I didn't have time to haggle. During the wedding, Nicole went over our time when our wedding ran behind schedule, she had an assistant who worked just as hard as she did, and she gave me hundreds of beautifully edit photos just 2 weeks after our wedding. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Nicole and her team, and recommend her for your upcoming wedding! read more

I cannot say enough things about Nicole! She is so personable, and professional. I had such a great time doing my photos with her. I am very attention to detail and I could tell she is as well, because when it came time for her to shoot, she would come up to fix my hair or guide me to move my hand or shoulders towards her or away from her in faith of capturing a beautiful image. She really is talented, and skilled in her work! When it came to receiving my photos, I'm sure she has others' photos she's working on, but she still made time for me and sent my photos in a very timely manner. I will 100% refer anyone that needs a photographer to her. She has an eye for details and I couldn't be more happy! read more

Nicole did an amazing job doing my wedding video! Her details to capture beautiful moments its beyond me! She made my video look like a movie!

I'm already working on my next project with her and a lot of my family have asked for her info as well because of the amazing job she did! read more

Just a fair warning this review is going to be a lengthy one:)! I had the brief pleasure of working with Nicole & Randy at a recent wedding in Palos Verdes earlier this year and the level of kindness, professionalism, authentic passion, and eye for process? Safe to say I was immediately a fan. For context: I have been a wedding photographer for about 11 years now and have had my fair share of working with many vendors with various working synergies but wow is all I have to say for Nicole and Randy, it's one of the rarer occasions where they as creatives can work with both photo AND video depending on their client's needs/requests and their work truly speaks volumes on their attention to detail, genuine love/passion towards creating memorable content for their clients and above all, do it with a smile and type of energy that leaves you wanting to hang longer after the job. Hiring Nicole for your event or milestone will definitely be worthwhile as she as simple as I can put it, is an amazing, kind hearted, talented artist that will exceed expectations! read more

My girlfriend and I asked Nicole to take couples pictures of us in downtown Fullerton. I, being unphotogenic and a little bit nervous, was put to ease by Nicole's patience and professionalism! I highly recommend her as she has a creative eye for posing and does her best to make the subjects comfortable! It was so much fun and will def do it again!!! read more

I was so glad that I choose Nicole to take my daughter's 18th photoshoot and our family pictures. She responded to my quotes so quick and message me in my phone.
