That job taught me to pay attention to the details, get people to open up to me quickly and to tell stories that showcase who people are below the surface.
My work as a photographer isn’t all that different. I’m a fly on the wall documenting the real, emotional moments. I’m also a director, creating portraits of you interacting with your people so your photos are full of joy and genuine reactions for images soaked in you-ness.
With me, you’re getting the best of both worlds and none of the generic, uncomfortable photos you see in every other couple’s wedding album.
Let’s tell your true stories together instead.
efore I started out as a wedding photographer, I was working as a print & broadcast journalist.

Your Minnesota wedding photographer
Hi, I'm Nic.
All I have of my mom today are the stories we share about her and photos we took together. It’s why I’m so passionate about making sure that your kids have photos of you all together. One day, they’ll say, “I wish we had done this more.”
My parents wedding day, just about a year later, was one of the happiest of my life. The joy of coming together as a family, the fun of dancing all night long and the quiet moments just being together were something I got to experience really early on in life. And it’s made me so passionate about bringing those moments to life for you on your best day ever.
& why I'm so focused on capturing real life for you
My Photographer origin story
here are two moments in my life that drastically shaped the person I am today -- the day my birth mother died and the day my dad got remarried.

A Look into my
Life
1 / 3
There's nothing I love more in the world than my big, blended family. While they live a few states away back in Michigan, I spend as much time as I can visiting my mom & dad, four siblings and niece & nephews. They're loud, a little chaotic but so much fun to be around, and a huge part of why I love photographing your big, boisterous weddings. I thrive in that happy chaos!

Once upon a time, I was a sports broadcaster for a little tv station up on Lake Superior. But before that, I was a middle school girl whose entire personality was the Detroit Red Wings, and who watched every local Detroit sports team with her dad and brothers. Sports are my happy place, and take up probably 50-80% of my thoughts on any given day.
Go blue. Go Red wings. Go Lions. Go tigers.

I was fortunate enough to travel as a kid and it's something I still love to do as much as possible. Getting to experience new cultures, food and landscapes is so special. My favorite trip so far was visiting Iceland with my husband in 2023 (put that one at the top of your bucket list!!) We plan to take a trip every year to celebrate our anniversary, so if you have a place you recommend, I'm all ears!

Nic is the BEST photographer I have ever worked with! Nic has such an energetic and fun attitude when you work with her, she caught so many candid shots from our wedding day that we will cherish forever. These pictures help me see everything that I enjoyed on my wedding day and even a few things that I missed - which I am so grateful that Nic caught these moments and captured EVERY detail of our wedding.
Highly recommend working with her if you want pictures that you will love for a lifetime and want to feel like your best most confident self - Nic helps you feel comfortable and confident! She is truly magic!

I knew I couldn’t have anyone else for my big day. I literally scheduled my wedding to match her availability. Nic is professional, funny, kind, and considerate. She brings a joy to photoshoots that make the experience personal and enjoyable. If you want someone who tells your love story to a T, book Nic for your wedding. Your wedding day is a breeze and she ensures you have the time and space to savor all of the magic your day brings without being bogged down. Stop searching for another photographer in Minnesota, Nic is your gal!

Working with Nic has been the absolute BEST decision throughout our wedding planning process. She made sure that I was feeling my best throughout the entire wedding day and really prioritized us as a couple. I cannot say enough good things about Nic and her work!
-Haley S.
Nic is everything we could have dreamed of: personable, kind, outgoing, and professional. She takes her job as the photographer seriously. From the moment of booking her for our engagement and wedding photos, she was there to answer any questions and give the best advice! We were in awe of our engagement photos and didn’t think she could top them, but our wedding sneak peaks were fantastic. They captured my wife and I perfectly!
-Brooke J.
Nic is beyond amazing to work with. She makes sure no photo feels awkward or uncomfortable! My entire wedding day went so smoothly with her as my photographer. Nic created my timeline so we didn’t feel rushed and all of the photos could be genuine. She also gave us sneak peeks before our ceremony even started! I will ALWAYS recommend Nic for any photographer needs!
-Sara D.
Nicole made our day a dream and because of her, we get to relive that day over and over again with these beautiful images. It was almost as if my fiance and I had our best friend behind the camera on our wedding day (which we kind of did!) You make it so easy to just be ourselves!
