I thought the dog figurine was sweet, but then I saw their actual dog and melted. 🫠🐕‍🦺

I find myself constantly searching for interesting light at weddings.

During early covid, I was really into documenting mundane scenes around the neighborhood I lived in. I found myself grabbing my camera and going on walks pretty often, since photographing weddings basically came to a halt for a year or so.

I noticed that I wasn’t so much drawn to a specific scene, but rather the light (or lack of) that gave these scenes emotion and life.

And I’d like to think I’ve carried that same approach to weddings— searching for emotion and light and genuine love, and not just breathtaking scenes or the “standard” wedding photos.

It’s happy mail day for me! 🎞️

19 rolls of film from the past 5 months— everytning from weddings and portraits to landscapes, hikes, travels, and moments from around town.

I always love the day I receive that email link to view my scans, and today was that day, which got me really inspired as I finish up a wedding gallery this week.

After I work through editing my remaining 2024 weddings, I’m excited to go through and organize all of my favorite images from the year.

Here’s some film from my latest batch of scans! 📸

Brayden + Brielle’s wedding was such a good day.

Brayden and I met in Iceland back in 2016 while participating in volunteer projects, so getting to photograph their wedding was pretty special. And we both somehow ended up in Oregon of all places.

I loved getting to be a part of their day. So much intentionality was put into making sure their wedding didn’t feel rushed, and I appreciated that. I even got to camp out for the weekend at the Lodge campground, which I always enjoy.

Check out some previews from their wedding a few weekends ago!

Sonja + Bret’s micro-wedding right along the river in Bend, Oregon was so refreshing to photograph— short but sweet, surrounded by their family and the closest ones they love.

I almost biked to the rental property they got married at since I live so close, but I don’t trust myself (and more importantly other drivers) biking on main roads with two camera bags.

Watching folks float by in their tubes and kayaks, waving and yelling “congrats!”, added such a fun element to their ceremony.

Here’s a few highlights—

A few favorites from this sweet Pilot Butte engagement I photographed earlier this month in Bend. It was pouring rain minutes before our session, but then the clouds opened up and we were blessed with such good light. Excited to blog this one!

Hello!

I A M N I C K R A S M U S S E N .

I recently realized that though I occasionally post images either here or on Instagram, I never have fully introduced myself, which can make or break whether or not a potential client sticks around to view my work or inquire. I’ve been learning more and more that connection is everything in this world, and I want to do my best to make sure each and every client of mine or couple who books with me knows the reason why I create and aspire to continue creating for the rest of my life. So, below is my attempt at letting you in on my life, both the personal and creative side.

I began taking photos at a young age. I have always been inspired by the things around me - nature, architecture, even billboards that grabbed my attention as I drove by, and I wanted to take photographs of them so I could revive part of what it felt or looked like in that moment later on. I have been taking photos ever since, and have progressively formed my style into something that speaks volumes to me. A majority of my work touches on the idea of connection and being alone in various spaces. What I find fascinating is that these themes are seen not only in my personal works of art, but also show up in my wedding and portrait images as well. The connection between two people in love is what drew me into becoming a wedding photographer, and I love having the ability and skills to capture such important moments as this. Both my wedding images and personal, fine-art images share an intimate quality, and the way I edit these images -- one might describe as “moody” -- comes as a result and in relation to this intimacy. After studying art for four years, traveling and exploring what a “good” photograph means, I think I have finally found my niche, and I don’t ever want to stop creating. (...So please hire me!!)

As an artist, my aspiration is to build memories that will astonish both viewers and clients, capturing moments while simultaneously creating stories. Both memories and stories play into the reason I create and the images that come as a result of this creativity. Through high quality fine art photography, I portray the raw, intimate moments of life as I discover different parts of this expansive world. Stories and moments can sometimes become lost, even forgotten. This being said, I never want to let a moment pass by. I create lasting images for myself and my clients and love spending my life creating meaningful art.
