If I am being honest, my personality is quirky, fun, extremely organized, ambivert, and slightly awkward. I love comedy movies, fluffy puppies, Starbucks, sunshine, the Tennessee mountains, and country music.
I am a mother to two handsome and energetic boys, a wife to a woodworking husband that has 20 hobbies, and a dog-mama to two aussies. Since I was a little girl, I loved stealing my parents camera, which recorded images to floppy-disk if you can remember those!
I was South Florida born and raised, so was my husband, and we moved to NJ in 2016 for his work. I have been solely working in NJ since then. However, in 2025 I decided to start capturing weddings in South Florida as well. We eventually want to move back to FL, so this is my way of starting our roots back in our home state. So for now, I capture newborn session in my studio during the week, and weddings on the weekend in both South Jersey and South Florida!
am living my dream! Photographing couples in love on their wedding day and then capturing them as their family grows has been a dream of mine since I started my photography business in 2015.
I
a wedding photographer in South Jersey & your new best friend!
I'm Nikki :)
What does that even mean? I was born and raised in sunny South Florida. So I know the heat in summer, I have experienced Cat 4 hurricanes, I dealt with the snow bird traffic, and I have had it rain in my front yard and not my backyard. It wasn't until I moved to New Jersey that I became a wedding photographer. So with that said, I learned all the in's and out's to become the perfect wedding photographer. I know what moments to capture and when, I know how to deal with all lighting and weather situations, I know how to calm a stressed bride, and wrangle rowdy groomsmen. When you receive your gallery back, you will see memories you might have missed, like grandma dancing with the best man, the ring bearer watching you at the alter, your parents wiping a tear away, and the craziest of dance moves on the dance floor!
In 2023 I actually stopped taking bookings for weddings and in 2024 I captured my last wedding in New Jersey. However, in 2025 I decided to make the push to move back to Florida, so here I am stepping back into the wedding industry! My 3 year plan as of 2025 is to because a full time wedding photographer in South Florida so that we can move our family back to our home state. I miss the sunshine, our whole family, and Florida vibe. So that's my story! I encourage you to now tell me yours!

A snapshot into my Personal life
You know that feeling when you wake up before anyone else in the house, it's dark and quiet and your greeted with the sweet smell of coffee? Ugh, that is my dream morning!
If I could have a solid two hours every morning of utter silence and peace, I would be in heaven! Typically though, my morning consist of an early toddler waking, dogs barking in the yard at a deer, and the TV not working when I want it to. But hey, a mama can dream of quiet mornings with her coffee, right?!
Coffee & quiet mornings
My Favorite Things
If I could have a kennel of dogs, I would. We have always been dog lovers and have capped off our quantity of pups at 3. If we didn't travel with our dogs everywhere we go, we would probably have more dogs!
Needless to say, if you bring your pup to a session I will completely melt over them. Dogs of all ages will always be a puppy to me. I highly encourage you to bring your fluff butts with you to your session!

If I could move to the Tennessee mountains, I would in a heartbeat! Something about the southern charm, mountain air, and hospitality just speaks to my soul. We try to travel to Tennessee at least once a year.
We are trying to find property to buy in the Tennessee mountains so we have a permanent spot to travel too. It is a dream of ours to retire in the mountains, and I am determined to make this dream a reality!
Traveling
Nikki is literally the best. From the first email exchange i felt as if we were immediately best friends. When we met for our engagement shoot she made us feel so comfortable and at ease, as we’re both super awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera. During the wedding she exceeded all expectations. She made sure we got every photo we wanted and more- and made sure everything went smoothly and on schedule - even our shot list of 100 different variations of family members. Nikki is so positive, sweet and thoughtful and posed us exactly right all night.
Wedding
We wish we could put more than 5 stars! Nikki was incredible to work with! Not only are the pictures absolutely perfect, but the experience from start to finish was fun, easy, organized, supportive and beyond! Our photos came to us so quickly after the engagement session and wedding. In both, people marveled at how you could really see the emotion in each shot. She knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable and confident. She was able to create clear time lines that helped our planning process as well.

From the moment I contacted Nikki and throughout the entire wedding planning process and the day of the wedding, Nikki has been exceptional. Nikki not only is the best at communicating, but her work speaks for itself. It’s BEAUTIFUL. She made the process SO easy and enjoyable. All of my bridesmaids cannot stop raving about Nikki and Michael. They brought so much positive energy on our special day. I already told Nikki I’ll be saving her number for the future down the line when we have kids for a newborn session.
