capturing humans, being.
Michigan Wedding Photographer
Your moment isn’t about the photos. The photos are about your moment.
When you work with me, you get more than someone who shows up with a camera and bounces after the last dance. I’m here for the whole experience—from the late-night “do you like this top for our session?” texts to the emergency kit I always have on-hand (yes, I’ve got gum, a sewing kit, and probably some floss).
This is a collaboration.
A relationship.
A space where you get to be fully yourself—awkward jokes, windblown hair, mushy moments and all.
This isn't a surface-level, snap-and-go kinfa thing.
FOR THE COUPLES WHO…
Take road trips just to chase waterfalls or find a new hiking trail.
Know the magic of a good campfire or late-night dance party with your favorite people.
Value the Earth, each other, and a photographer who respects both
Feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but are down to laugh through it and have fun
Want to remember your wedding day exactly as it was—not a Pinterest filtered version of it
Could talk about your pets for hours (even bring them to your session).
Sound like you? Then you’re in the right place.
I respond personally, pay attention to the details you share, and send over a guide that answers just about everything (seriously, it’s 20+ pages).
You’ll never wonder what’s next because I’ll be checking in, planning with you, and asking the kinds of questions that make you go: “Wait… you really get me.”
By the time we’re shooting, it won’t feel like a photoshoot. It’ll feel like a hangout—except you get to walk away with hundreds of photos that capture the real you.
From the moment you inquire, you’ll notice I do things a little differently.
“The way she captures special moments and glances is magical.”
"Nichole is so down to earth and easy to feel comfortable around. Her candid style of photography brings a cozy, effortless beauty to the photos. All of our photos came out perfectly, it was hard to choose our favorites."
hEY, I'M NICHOLE
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me crying over cute dogs, rock hunting along Lake Michigan, or adding another jar of pickles to my grocery haul (Grillo’s, always).
I built this business on connection, care, and the kind of trust that lets you fully exhale and just be.
Because at the end of the day, I don’t want you to look back and just say “these photos are beautiful”— I want you to say, “we had so much fun back then, didn’t we?”
Michigan wedding photographer, professional over-preparer, and occasionally emergency-kit hero (yes, I carry floss and a mini sewing kit in my camera bag—that wasn’t a joke).
I believe your photos should feel like you—unfiltered, unscripted, and FULL of joy.
Couples
Michigan brings the drama in all the best ways—sunsets on the lake, moody forest light, dunes and cliffs and cozy venues that let you celebrate your way. My wedding coverage is built to reflect that: flexible, intentional, and full of support the whole way through.
Whether you’re hiking to the top of a dune, exchanging vows by a waterfall in the UP, or just want a quiet moment on the beach together—this package gives you the flexibility to create a day that feels like you.
These sessions are a chance to just be yourselves—no stiff posing, no expectations. Bring your dog, your favorite outfits, your inside jokes, and we’ll make some magic out of it.

Weddings
"Working with Nichole was so EASY. She is incredibly laid back and willing to try anything! She brought the energy we needed on our wedding day - it ended up raining most of the day and she was so enthusiastic when we still wanted outdoor photos and roughed it in the rain with us."
“She was just as enthusiastic about our outdoor photos in the rain as we were.”
On the blog
Photography that looks like you, feels like you, and celebrates you.
No two love stories are the same, and I don’t think your gallery should be either. I blend documentary-style candids with a few artful, intentional moments that speak to your day—not a template.
