‘we instantly felt at ease with nicki’
Nicki is wonderful - warm, welcoming and has great humour.
We first met Nicki in November 2022 for an engagement shoot and just to get to know each other a little better before the wedding.
We instantly felt at ease in Nicki's company and were so happy to have her join us on our big day. We had a very small intimate ceremony at Maryculter House in December with only 8 others and Nicki blended in, in the best possible way.
We are so happy with our photographs!
Thank you Nicki!

‘nicki made us feel so at ease’
We met Nicki at a friend’s wedding and I knew there and then that she would be our wedding photographer (and we weren’t even engaged at this point)! She is so friendly, down to earth and chatty, she made us feel so at ease. This was exactly how we wanted to feel on our big day. We got to know Nicki a little more at our pre wedding shoot, where she guided us but also allowed us to keep it fun and natural. Having her a part of our wedding was so important and we loved that she joined our guests on the dance floor for a boogie, despite being with us all day long! The photos are simply stunning and are an amazing reminder of what a special day it was. I have recommended Nicki to several of my friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Nicki.

‘more than just pictures’
After looking through a lot of portfolios of other photographers, we realised we were looking for someone to capture more than just pictures. We wanted the real and natural moments of our day and everyone who was there. We had an engagement shoot to get used to the camera and meet Nicki, who put us at ease from the very start. The engagement shoot and the photos we received made choosing Nicki as our wedding photographer the right choice. On the wedding day Nicki captured every part of the day and sometimes we didn't even notice she was snapping away and capturing some great moments we missed. The photos we received were amazing. Nicki really has a great eye for a true and natural photo and was a wonderful addition to our wedding day.

‘we didn’t want the photos to feel like a chore’
We spent a long time looking at all the photographers avaliable in our area before making a choice. We loved Nicki's candid approach and even moved the wedding one week as we really wanted to have Nicki! We were in contact with her every step of the way discussing the venue and just keeping her up to date on all our plans. We had an amazing engagement shoot on the beach in Bognor and it really helped us to relax before the big day. She is such a friendly, bubbly lady which really helps you feel like you are with a friend (she certainly became a friend!) and you forget that the camera is there. She took pics of both hubby and me getting ready on our wedding day which was wonderful as I really wanted a lovely pic of hubby and his mum which we are so grateful for. All our photos are stunning and we are so glad she didn't cut any out because they really mean the world to us. She beautifully captured all the important moments from the "I do's", first kiss, me bawling my eyes out ! as well as group shots and lots of the gorgeous candid ones which are treasured by all the family. She has this wonderful ability to capture things that the couple may miss or angles you wouldn't have thought of. My hubby hates having his picture taken but Nicki made him feel so relaxed, we didn't want the photos to feel like a chore and they really didn't. We made sure she was included in our day just as much as any guest and we love her so much we have had more photos by Nicki when I graduated and when we got our dog too. I couldnt recommend her more. She really will make sure you have beautiful memories to treasure forever!!!

‘we feel like we gained a friend’
Nicki was wonderful from start to finish, and in fact continues to be lovely as we are still in contact. We feel like we gained a friend rather than just a wedding photographer - Nicki is the kind of person who you could invite to your hen do at the last minute and just know she would get on amazingly well with all the other guests. She was very responsive and flexible right from the beginning and even arranged to Skype us from a different timezone when we first got in contact. We picked Nicki for her beautiful yet fun style but I feel strongly that part of the reason she is able to get such candid shots is because of the wonderful way she has of becoming a true part of the day - I can't imagine having had anyone else. Loads of our friends and family went out of their way to comment on how lovely she was and everyone felt at ease in her company. She even managed to get some sneaky (and gorgeous) photos of a relative who has successfully avoided photos for years! When Nicki sent through the slideshow video of our day things got so emotional as she had done such a good job with all the editing and it really felt like the story of the day had been fully captured. Then when we looked through all the photos I could not believe that one person had managed to be in so many different places at once. All of my favourite photos are the natural ones Nicki took, outside of our formally arranged ones, which was yet another reason I was so glad we made our choice. We now have countless beautiful photos and memories which will last a lifetime (and beyond!) and I would recommend Nicki unreservedly for any occasion.

‘Nicki is smiley/jokey and warm to boot’
We cannot have been more chuffed with having Nicki as the photographer for our wedding day! We "found" her through friends whose wedding she'd photographed and which we'd been guests at - we loved the style of her photos and how easily she fitted in to their day & we were so happy we booked her for ours too. From our first meeting we were certain we'd made the right choice - Nicki is SO easy to get along with, puts you right at ease and is smiley/jokey & warm to boot. Loads of our friends commented on how smoothly she fitted in to the day - it really was like having a friend along for the wedding - one that's really talented and takes amazing photos of you! We got tons of amazing photos from the day and would have no doubts in recommending her to anyone.

‘any couple that books nicki is very lucky indeed’
After months of organising and making decisions on so many attributes towards our big day, one of our first decisions was to have Nicki as our photographer. A couple of our good friends had previously had her at their wedding and I'd seen her work which was beautiful. I certainly cannot praise her enough for what she achieved on the day, she fitted in to the point of not even noticing her, even the guests commented on this. Her candid style of photography truly told the story of our day and this showed natural smiles, love and laughter. And the kids liked her too. If there's anything I would say to future couples it would be that it's worth paying for a good photographer as you get what you pay for and you can never get that one special day back. Nicki was amazing and her speedy correspondence was so reassuring and helpful. She will also take any must have shots that you really want, we even went to Arundel and then back to the venue. She truly is amazing at her job and any couple who books Nicki as their photographer is very lucky indeed!

‘Nicki's pictures captured all the emotions of our wedding’
We felt incredibly lucky to have found Nicki for our wedding at Aldourie Castle on Loch Ness. Her communication beforehand was fantastic; she was wonderful on the day and we were so impressed to have had a handful of gorgeous pictures to look through the very next morning! The pictures themselves captured all the emotions of our wedding and she managed to catch so many of the special details of the day too. Nicki pulled out all the stops to get the best shots throughout the day (despite the rain!) - she made us feel so comfortable for the portraits and the rest of the time so many people commented that they didn't even notice her snapping away - her many candid shots were beautiful and we would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you Nicki!

‘We hit the jackpot with Nicki’
I feel like we really hit the jackpot with Nicki, when I first stumbled across her website I fell in love with her amazing ability to capture real, raw, natural moments. I LOVE how playful Nicki's photos are, she's great at whipping up a crowd and getting them to do something silly so there's no stuffy smile at the camera in order shots (unless you want that - and we did have to have a few of the mantlepiece shots - which Nicki was happy to do) - but it's the fun ones of the groomsmen gossiping or the old grandads sticking their tongues out - she manages to capture the youth in every single person and I think that's down to Nicki herself being such a fun loving, caring, happy spirited person. All the guests commented on how excellent, friendly and approachable she was and how much they liked hanging out with her too. Her photos were superb - everything we had dreamed of and more - and our day would not have been the same without her.
