Iโ€™ve known Baylee, sweet Boo, since she was teeny tiny, and her big brother Brandon practically lived at my house through it all. To stand beside her on her wedding dayโ€ฆ in the mountains of Tennesseeโ€ฆ capturing a love this pure and a day this stunning? There arenโ€™t words big enough.

The love surrounding Landon and Baylee is difficult to describe. It's the kind that settles into your bones, the kind that reminds you why you do this work with your whole heart.

This is just a tiny glimpse into their magic.

I was lucky enough to photograph their engagement, then celebrate their New Yearโ€™s wedding, and now, here we are, chasing the light with their sweet baby girl, Hazel. โœจ

Watching their love grow from โ€œI doโ€ to โ€œwe made a whole little humanโ€ is the kind of full-circle magic that makes me fall in love with this job over and over again. The soft smiles, tiny toes, those proud-parent glancesโ€ฆ itโ€™s everything.

Hazel, you are so deeply loved.
And to your mom and dad...thank you for letting me be part of your story, year after year. My heart is all in.

A love story with a little magic in every shadow. ๐Ÿ–ค

Ashley & Gabe turned Halloween into the sweetest, spookiest celebration โ€” proof that romance doesnโ€™t always look traditional, but it always feels like home.

From the quiet, stolen glances to the wild joy on the dance floor, their day was one of those weddings that reminded me why I do what I do. Every moment felt intentional, layered with meaning, stitched together with laughter, legacy, and family.
Luxury met romanceโ€ฆ and then romance took over.
What an honor to witness it all.

Here is your full preview, my loves...a story told in every detail, every tear, every breath, every kiss.

I hope these images feel like coming home to the love you chose.

Some wedding days just feel like a deep breath you didnโ€™t know you were holding...soft, steady, full of heart. Amber and Kyleโ€™s Belle Oaks Barn wedding was exactly that. The kind of day that moves slowly in the best wayโ€ฆ golden light slipping through the trees, families blending so naturally, and a love that felt both brand-new and beautifully familiar.

From their quiet little moments tucked beneath the oaks, to the laughter that filled the reception, to the way they looked at each other like they were seeing forever unfold โ€” it was a day built on intention, joy, and a whole lot of love.

And if Iโ€™m being honestโ€ฆ the whole day felt a little bit like a song.
Maybe even a Taylor Swift one.

What started years ago with a shy exchange of numbers and a language barrier turned into a love that feels effortless and full of laughter (and a whole lot of good food dates). ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’ซ

We spent the evening wandering through the gardens and finishing by the ocean, chasing light and all the reasons they fell in love in the first place. Hereโ€™s a little peek at their St. Augustine engagement session...๐Ÿค

Oh, Shanda and Johnโ€ฆ where do I even begin?

From the moment I arrived at Rustic Oaks Ranch, there was this undeniable feeling of peace and promise in the air. The kind of quiet magic that only happens when two souls who were truly meant to find each other finally say I do.

Their day was full of heart...from the way John looked at her walking down the aisle, to the laughter echoing under the twinkle lights of the barn. Every single detail was a reflection of them...simple, beautiful, and full of life.

The florals by Bloom Chicka Bloom were a soft, romantic dream, bringing the whole space to life in the most effortless way. Beauty by Logan Browning worked her magic and had everyone glowing (literally). The team at 321 Venue Catering made sure plates and hearts were equally full, and DJ Salt Life kept the dance floor alive all night long, just the way it should be. And behind the scenes, Jessica Houston pulled every piece together so flawlessly that all Shanda and John had to do was live in the moment.

Hereโ€™s just a small peek into their incredible day โ€” filled with joy, laughter, and a love that feels like home. ๐Ÿฅ‚โœจ

Tara & Omar โœจ

Some love stories begin with grand gestures. Others begin in the quiet corners of everyday lifeโ€ฆ like a hospital hallway.

She was transporting patients. He was the CAT scan technologist waiting on the other side of those double doors. One shared break laterโ€ฆ and suddenly the world felt different. Six years have passed, and somehow it still feels like that very first spark never dimmed.

They spend their nights the way love often looks in real life โ€” wrapped up in Netflix, sharing ice cream, debating the best Spanish restaurants, and agreeing that pizza and espresso martinis are absolutely a love language. Sheโ€™s now following in his footsteps in radiologyโ€ฆ because when you love someone that deeply, even the future starts to look a little more like them.

Surrounded by family, laughter, and the sweetest kind of forever, they promised each other a lifetime of exactly what brought them here โ€” comfort, joy, and hearts that always find their way back to each other.

Tara and Omarโ€ฆ what an honor it was to witness your beginning of forever.

About me

Hi! Iโ€™m Nicole or โ€œNikkiโ€, but you clearly know that already. Iโ€™ve been perfecting my photography for over yen years. I love capturing all aspects of life from love stories, birth, children of all ages, and families.

When Iโ€™m not behind my camera I can be found on an adventure with my four amazing, wild, and sometimes dramatic kiddos. They are forever my inspiration on this incredible journey.

I love all things blue, die hard Disney fan, donโ€™t go a day without my coffee, and have been known to binge watch Hallmark movies during the holidays! I will talk to anyone that makes eye contact and love my jeans + leggings. Iโ€™m forever a Nikon girl and self-taught. I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to friends, embracing the gray hairs, am running out of skin for tattoos, and can plan a cruise or Disney vacation with my eyes closed. But above all, my family is my light.

My full intention is to offer more than just photography. I am passionate about what I do and the people I work with. Connecting with you on a personal level allows me to go above and beyond with my work and the level of service I provide. My photography and approach may both have an easy feel, but I donโ€™t take the responsibility of documenting your story. Iโ€™d love to hear about you and your story. No need to be strangers.
