Nikki took the photos for our wedding last fall and we cannot say enough great things about our day with her! Not only are the pictures absolutely beautiful, but she has a relaxed and extremely friendly personality that made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. I would strongly recommend her!

We couldn't be happier to have been lucky enough to have Nicole capture our special day. Nicole was extremely personable and put in a tremendous effort towards capturing all of the emotion that encapsulated our wedding. She was flexible and understanding with any changes that needed to happen while making us feel so incredibly comfortable. Upon receiving our pictures, we are over the moon. They are a treasured keepsake of a day we will never forget and we have Nicole to thank!

Nikki's work at our daughter's wedding was truly outstanding. Her warmth and sincerity made her a big hit with everyone in the wedding (including the guests), and the photos she produced are oh so wonderful. She captured our very special day with beautiful photographs that will allow us to relive those precious moments forever. Plus, she delivered the highly polished final products to us in a timely and professional manner. We had high expectations of our photographer - and she exceeded them. Thanks Nikki!

Our family has hired Nicole from Crimson Photos on multiple occasions and it's always such a pleasure to work with her! Nicole captured my wedding in 2010 and then our family hired her again for my sister's wedding in 2016. She has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and the photos are always timeless. Our family cherishes the images we have!

Nicole and her colleague were phenomenal from the moment we contacted them. My husband and I wanted a very natural and photojournalist vibe to our wedding photos. Nicole managed to supersede our expectations. She became part of our day and captured the most meaningful images. She listened, understood and embraced everything about our wedding day and created gorgeous photos that will forever provide the best memories we could have asked for. Working with her was easy, natural and stress free. We are incredibly excited to work with her again for our upcoming maternity and newborn photo shoot!!!
