The hydrangeas are in bloom and so is my love for summer wedding details 💐

And when I think of summer wedding details, I still swoon over Margaret and Mitchell’s summer wedding! From the florals, to the reception details and even the bridesmaids dresses, every part of their big day seemed to perfectly compliment the summer season.

Also, can you believe it’s been nearly 1 year since their wedding? Happy soon-to-be Wedding Anniversary to these two 🤍

Receptions are truly one of my favorite parts of a wedding day. You are officially married, your guests are hyped to celebrate you, and you are on cloud nine. This part of the wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye. There’s so much that we are able to capture that you don’t always see. So when looking back, it’s even more special to be able to see how much you and your guests enjoyed celebrating you!

Walking into married life like… 💍🔥

A courthouse elopement that gives all the chic vibes. Truly working with Alex and Britt is such a dream. These two truly have good infectious love. The way they look at each other gives everyone around them butterflies. It’s the look they give like no one else is around and they don’t care who’s watching, they just love each other that much. And it makes my heart so happy to be able to capture such adorable people such as themselves 🤭

Engagement session gallery went to Jessie + Brendan today!! During their session we heard a yell from behind us and they quickly realized their NEIGHBOR was hyping them up on north ave! If that isn’t the most North Ave Beach thing to happen, I don’t know what is! 😂

Cheers to these two and cannot wait for their wedding next year!

Year 8 in the business and year 3 with this cutie!

Alexi has been my lead associate the last 3 years and being able to capture wedding days with her has been awesome! One thing we hear time and time again is, “how long have you guys have been working together? It’s like you just know each-others every move!” Most people think 5+ years, but within a 3 year span, Alexi has been my go to gal! We have the same energy, passion for weddings, and she is the best right hand lady on a wedding day! Plus, if I’m not available for a wedding day, you have this cutie that will be right by your side hyping you up all the way!

Already one wedding down this year together and can’t wait for the rest! Catch us hyping you up, cracking jokes, and capturing all your moments on your wedding day! 🥂✨

Cannot believe a year has gone by since Alexis and Eric have tied the knot. I decided recently I’m going to take a shift into posting. Not just what the algorithm wants to see, but some of my favorite photos from sessions + weddings. Whether it’s Alexis walking down the aisle, or the giggle Eric shared with her during their ceremony, which let me tell you they were the cutest during there ceremony. Overall, my content is going to be much more intentional and meaningful to me because that’s what’s important!

Enjoy some of my favorite ceremony photos from their wedding day 💕💕

Can’t believe it’s been two years since Riley and Angel tied the Knot at the cutest ranch in Aliso Viejo, CA.

Truly these two are souls I hold near and dear to my heart and have become long time friends. To watch my couples grow together is truly something so precious and I always look forward to continuing watching the growth way past the wedding day!

Elise + Grayson | The Fairlie, Chicago, IL

Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day in May than clear blue skies and sun with so much greenery and good vibes. I cannot wait to go in depth on this wedding day!! Truly so stunning through and through from details, to colorful florals, to such an amazing group of people and so much energy (even on the dance floor!)

Cheers to the Belvins! ✨🥂

You would’ve NEVER guessed that Nicole and Nick’s engagement session took place on a morning that had high predictions of thunderstorms and while it did, it held out for their session! 🥰

We got so incredibly blessed with breaks in the cloudy sky to get some beautiful images with rays of sunshine (just like these two) and really bring so much energy to their session! The overcast in between the sun spots were perfect and overall it was such a fun session that just flew by driving all over the Geneva Golf course and having fun in the wind!

Cant wait to celebrate with them in August ✨

What a way to start the wedding by this past Monday starting the 2024 wedding season for NBP!🌸🍾

A little introduction, hi, I’m Nichole! I have my been a photographer for 7 almost 8 years now, which truly makes me realize how time is so fleeting.

Some quick fun facts about me:

I am a HUGE coffee girlie through and through, but will always make an exception for an English tea during the wintertime

I am such a gift giver and have always loved showing the people around me how much I love and appreciate them. Truly you never know how long you have with someone so always enjoy the time you have with them.

I am HUGE on giving 110% into my business. When I book a new client I always make sure to go above and beyond whether it’s communication, the service itself, delivery, and everything in between. I truly love what I do so doing it all makes it easy.

I am a sunrise girlie for life. A sunrise on Lake Michigan has my heart forever and if you do your session at sunrise downtown YOU have my heart forever 💕

I am someone who is learning that change is okay. Change can be exciting, scary, emotional, and everything it between, but change just means growth and ladies and gents we are ALL about growth here!!

I hope yall have a beautiful Wednesday and can’t wait to see what this years wedding have in store for us!!

If you made it this far comment what you love to see of wedding days! 🤩🤩🤩

An unforgettable engagement session full of love and laughter with Alexi and Dave. We had such a perfect golden hour last Friday with the most amazing weather! Alexi, Dave, and I hopped around downtown Arlington heights and made a stop to grab some beer + ice cream! And they were so nice to get raspberry sorbet which was AMAZING might I add!

Making your engagement session feel like a date really brings out comfortability and helps you relax, plus it gets you more involved throughout the session to get those candid images we see all over social media!

Also, can we please take a moment for Alexis dress and how STUNNING she is! So happy to have you as a friend and an associate. NBP wouldn’t be the same without our girl, Alexi! I’m so excited to photograph your wedding day this year. 🤍

My story

Hello Friends!

My name is Nichole and I capture your memories.

Rooted in unique documentary, with a background in arts and photography, I'm all about telling the story of an entire day past pretty posed portraits. I long to get back to the basics: emotive color, actual people, raw emotion. There are so many moments in life that should be with captured with

I'm for the fiercely real, intrepid couple who's up for the unexpected and ready to embrace life. And by life, I don't mean perfection. Life is when things go wrong, the weather changes, you rip your dress, fall down and it's in this very messy life that you meet the love of it. So let it all happen and let me document it. I do promise that together we will make something altogether romantic, soulful and you. Whether it be your wedding day, a little one is expected to join the family, those Christmas cards to show everyone how cute your family is, that first birthday party, I'm here for you every milestone of the way, just capturing it all. If you wanna win my heart, I like Jesus, dogs, coffee, and conspiracy theories. And food. All of the food.
