We started their engagement session wandering through the dreamy garden paths at Washington Oaksโ€”moss-draped oaks, soft floral blooms, and the sweetest moments between these two. Then we made our way to the beach just in time for a cotton candy sky that looked like it was painted just for them. ๐ŸŒ…

We just beat the rain (talk about perfect timing), and every single frame feels like a little piece of magic.

These two are saying โ€œ๐ผ ๐‘‘๐‘œโ€ at Belle Oaks Barn this fall, and if this session is any hint, itโ€™s going to be a day full of joy, love, and maybe even another perfect sky. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‚

Downtown Franklin, Tennessee gave us the most charming backdropโ€”and these two brought the magic. From the moment they stepped out dressed to the nines, I knew this session was going to be special.

The weather? Absolute perfection.
The energy? Pure joy.
The love? Oh, it showed in every frame.

Engagement sessions like this remind me why I love what I doโ€”celebrating love stories with heart and style.

Their day was nothing short of magic.

From the moment Robert turned around and saw Tara for the first timeโ€”his eyes welling with tears, hers shining with joyโ€”I knew this was going to be one of those weddings. The ones that remind you why you do what you do. ๐Ÿฅน

Tara and Robertโ€™s day was a true DIY dream. Every detail, from the carefully crafted dรฉcor to the handmade touches sprinkled throughout, was a reflection of the love and support that surrounds them. It was clear this wedding wasnโ€™t just about two peopleโ€”it was about a whole village coming together to celebrate something real and beautiful.

They were surrounded by the most incredible group of family and friends, who helped turn a quiet countryside space into a heartfelt, joy-filled celebration. And when that golden sun dipped behind the trees, it felt like the whole world slowed down just for them. Their sunset portraits were straight out of a fairytaleโ€”soft light, quiet laughter, and the kind of connection you canโ€™t pose.

And letโ€™s not forgetโ€ฆ the cake smash. ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ˜‰ Thereโ€™s something about a couple who can laugh together with frosting on their noses that tells you theyโ€™re going to weather all of lifeโ€™s wild moments with grace (and probably a little sass).

Tara + Robert, thank you for letting me witness such a sacred and fun-filled day. Your love is strong, sweet, and groundedโ€”just like the life youโ€™re building together.

What. A. Day.

Their wedding at CF Vintage Farm in Ocala, Florida was pure magic โ€” the kind of day that reminds you exactly why you love love. โœจ

Megan had the most emotional first look with her dad before Jake even laid eyes on her โ€” and then their own private first look had us all tearing up behind the lens. There was so much love wrapped into every second of this day, from belly laughs with the wedding party to the quiet moments they shared between just the two of them.

The florals? Absolute pastel perfection. Soft blushes, pale blues, pops of coral and creamy white โ€” the bouquet was a work of art. The kind you want to stare at forever. ๐ŸŒธ

And letโ€™s not forget the vibe shift when Chappell Roanโ€™s Pink Pony Club hit โ€” instant energy, glittery joy, and a dance floor that came alive. This crew knew how to party, and they did it in style. ๐ŸŽ€๐Ÿชฉ

Every detail of this day was so thoughtfully curated, and it all came together beautifully thanks to an incredible team of vendors who made the magic happen.

Megan + Jake, thank you for letting me be a part of your story. I already canโ€™t wait to share the full gallery with you. This was one for the books. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’•

Shawna and Brandon showed up with their beautiful little girl Charlotte and their two adorable pups, Chloe and Rockyโ€”and let me tell you, this session at Cellon Oak Park was straight out of a dream.

Charlotteโ€™s giggles echoed through the trees, Chloe and Rocky were living their best doggy lives, and the sunset gave us the most magical glow to wrap it all in.

These are the moments I live forโ€”real, playful, love-soaked memories that tell your story just as it is. And this family? They brought it all.

Aleema, you are radiant โ€” truly glowing with double the love.

This mama is expecting twin boys, and let me tell youโ€ฆ the strength, grace, and beauty she brought to this session left me in awe. Every soft smile, every hand resting on her bellyโ€”it was magic.

Thereโ€™s something extra special about photographing a mother carrying two little heartbeats. Aleema, thank you for trusting me to capture this incredible moment in your journey. These boys are already so loved ๐Ÿค

Thereโ€™s something extra special about capturing love where it feels most at homeโ€”and for Megan and Hunter, that meant golden fields, a glowing Alabama sunset, and their sweet pups by their side. ๐Ÿพ

From stolen kisses and belly laughs to those quiet, tender in-between momentsโ€”you could feel the love woven into every part of this session. Their family property was the perfect backdrop to tell a story thatโ€™s just getting started.

Hereโ€™s a little sneak peek of their engagement session magic... I already canโ€™t wait for whatโ€™s next. ๐Ÿ’›

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.
