ABOUT the 
PHOTOGRAPHER

My work lives somewhere between the honesty of documentary and fashion campaign precision.

It’s emotional, but composed.
Stylish, but never over done. (sometimes)

The kind of imagery that feels as good in an online gallery as it does in a frame.

I shoot on both digital and film because texture matters. Light matters. Atmosphere matters.
But with all of that, I still know the quiet in-between moments are what matter most.

I want my couples to feel something, rather than follow something on their wedding day. I am here to document energy.  The excitement with your friends. The quiet inhale before the aisle walk. The chaos after the champagne hits. The way your dress moves when no one’s watching.

Based in Wilmington, traveling wherever your story unfolds, I work with couples who care about feelings, design, atmosphere, and meaning. The ones who understand that a wedding isn’t just an event — it’s a real life experience and an emotional archive.

AUTHENTICITY AND ART
MEET HERE

Originally from New Jersey, I moved to NC to attend the University of North Carolina Wilmington and studied Communication and Integrated Marketing. I have a love for all things design, journalism and branding. During college, I spent 3 years photographing full time for a local boutique which later led me to assisting shooting at weddings. 2020, I fell in love with weddings and knew I wanted to help capture the creativity and the chaos. 

Fast forward, its 2026 and I am still living in Wilmington with my boyfriend Jake and our dalmatian Shelby, along with our two orange cats Chester and Nala. We love traveling (I've traveled to over 13 countries and have 27 states checked off). Jake's dad sailed and my grandfather owned sailboats, so now we spend days sailing and boating on the ocean and ICW. We love a good board game and mixing up craft cocktails at home. Film photography is a part of our adventures daily and we're always dreaming up new business ideas.

Nikki had come highly recommended to us, and after being so impressed with her portfolio we made the decision to fly her out for our wedding in California - and it was truly the best decision we made.
