“My entire family had the best experience with Nikki. Without a doubt, around the rock is the best photography business in the area, shes so quick to find creative and artistic ways to create the best photos. She even gave me her shoes and took some of my portraits barefoot so that I’d be comfortable! I had several friends and family members ask for her name after my wedding because the photos are just THAT good.”

“Nikki is a WONDERFUL photographer! She was on time and professional during all photo shoots, and super fun to work with. She was also great at communicating during sessions and afterwards as well. All of our engagement, bridal, and wedding photos were returned in a timely manner (and before they were promised). I had nothing but the BEST experience with Nikki during every single one of our photography sessions and would recommend her to anyone!”

Quick Answers to

Common questions

How many hours of coverage do we need?

Most couples choose 8 hours, which comfortably covers getting ready through the major reception moments. If you’re planning something smaller or more intimate, 4–6 hours may be perfect. I’ll help you choose the right amount of coverage based on your timeline, not upsell you into more than you need.

Do we need a second shooter?

It depends on your wedding day. A second photographer allows us to capture multiple moments at once, more guest reactions, and additional angles throughout the day. Think of it as having two sets of eyes. While I’m photographing your walk down the aisle, a second photographer might be capturing your partner’s reaction, your parents tearing up, or guests smiling in the crowd. It’s one of the best ways to tell the full story of your day. If I think your wedding would truly benefit from one, I’ll recommend it. If not, I’ll tell you that too.

When should we book?

Most couples book 9–18 months before their wedding, especially for spring and fall dates. If you already have your venue, it’s the perfect time to reach out and check availability.

What happens if it rains?

Some of the most beautiful wedding photos happen in unexpected weather. I’ll always have a backup plan and help you adapt so your day stays fun, relaxed, and beautifully documented, rain or shine.

Do you help with posing?

Yes! You don’t need to know what to do with your hands or worry about looking awkward. I’ll guide you with natural prompts and gentle direction so your photos feel genuine, not stiff or overly posed.

How do we book you?

Booking is simple! Fill out my inquiry form with a few details about your wedding, and I’ll confirm my availability, send over package options, and answer any questions you have. Once your contract is signed and your retainer is paid, your date is officially reserved.

From there, you’re not on your own. I’ll help with timeline planning, send planning resources, check in throughout the process, and be there to make sure your wedding day feels as stress-free as possible.
