Nicole Amanda Photography

HIRE HER! That's it, that's all I need to say. Nicole & Max are your best wedding decision (I mean after choosing your spouse haha). Nicole was the easiest person to communicate with, whether through person, email or phone. She answered quickly and all of my silly questions. She also was ready with planning material, like a photo timeline and photo list, way in advance like myself and through every conversation made sure to say "Let me know if there is anything I can help with"
For the engagement photos, Nicole stood out in the freezing cold snow to capture the most brilliant photos! She taught us how to kiss, laugh and smile without looking forced and made us feel so calm.
For the wedding, Nicole (and Max) were again the most calm presence and came prepared for anything. I loved having Nicole with me and my girls getting ready while Max was wrangling the men together. She came with a full tote of bridal prep gear for photos and helped me into my dress! She took the perfect candids of myself, bridesmaids and mom getting ready and kept us on track. Although I wasn't there for the photos with the groom, my husband states Max was professional and funny and ready to get photos with our dog who was in the wedding party!
Nicole + Max helped us with our first look which was the best decision we made for photos. They were just in the background snapping our intimate moments together!
Nicole + Max worked through our long list of family formals and was able to set some wandering uncles in line! Max kept on checking in with me to make sure we got all the photos we wanted and then offered some ideas of some photos that might have been missed. Once again, the words I can use to describe both photographers were calm!!!
I don't remember too much of the reception as it surrounded food + wine + laughing/crying through speeches so I loved looking through the photos Nicole took of the reception. She captured the real emotions of our guests and it is memories I will have for forever
We were able to sneak away for some photos during the reception and even those 10 minutes of photos gave us the most beautiful memories of us smiling and laughing.
Nicole even started editing during the reception and gave us a sneak peek of 10 edited photos from the bridal prep to the first look to the ceremony including a wonderful portrait of myself, husband and dog smiling at the camera. Yes, Nicole is that good of a photographer that she got our 2 year old mini aussie to sit and smile for photos!!
Finally, we received our edited photos in record time and were able to show all of our friends and family these amazing photos. Due to COVID, we were unable to have our full guest list and thanks to Nicole + Max, these photos made the un attended guests feel like they were truly there with us.
I cannot recommend Nicole + Max enough. Wedding photos (and their price) are worth it over and over again! Flowers die, cake gets eaten, but good wedding photos last a lifetime!! Especially now with restrictions on gatherings, there is nothing you need more than those memories to show your guests who couldn't be there.
I shared our photos over and over again, posted all over social media and all of my co workers said the same thing "Congrats on your wedding, your photos looked amazing!" They all talked about how incredible the photos were and how they felt like they were there with us.
At the end of the day, I couldn't have imagined our wedding day with Nicole + Max. They are amazing!

I first came across Nicole's beautiful light and airy photography style when I saw a picture of her work being featured on a wedding website. I immediately added her to the top of my list of wedding photographers. When Nicole told me that she was available for my wedding date, I could not have been happier. Working with Nicole and her husband Max was such a fun and easy-going experience. My husband and I were not used to being photographed, but Nicole taught us a series of four poses that were so easy to learn and made the pictures turn out natural and stunning. On the wedding day, Nicole was more than just my photographer. She practically became an honorary bridesmaid and was helping my girls with their dresses and bouquets. She was fabulous. My husband and I are so happy that Nicole and Max were by our sides the entire night. We would highly recommend them, you won't regret it! :)

When we got engaged, we received advice to really make sure we clicked with our photographer. After meeting Nicole, we knew the awesomeness was apparent. We don’t usually like having our picture taken – but our engagement shoot was a BLAST! Nicole put us at ease right away and our pictures turned out fantastic and natural. Leading up to our wedding day, Nicole was organized and extremely attentive to any questions or concerns that we had. Nicole puts in an obvious effort to get to know her couples and their history. You don’t just have Nicole and Max for one day, they become a part of your process, and let me tell you – it makes a world of difference! On our wedding day, Max and Nicole put both of us, our families and friends at ease right away, our photos were so natural and no one looks posed or uncomfortable. They were a calming presence in a hectic day but kept us on track and smiling the whole time. We got a sneak peak of our photos at dinner time and a blog post with more photos two days later. You won’t regret hiring Nicole and Max for your wedding day, we promise!

Nicole is amazing! Very professional and quick to respond to any questions or concerns! Very friendly and easy to get along with and always made us feel comfortable as we were nervous initially getting our engagement photos done! We are so happy with our engagement and wedding photographs. We would recommend her to anyone! Katie & Justin Smit

We trusted Nicole with one of the most important aspects of a wedding, pictures! She did an outstanding job with both our engagement and wedding pictures, and got them back to us within only a week! Max also did a great job with the groom's prep and made everyone feel comfortable. Nicole was very reliable and organized with her timeline. We couldn't imagine having a better experience with a photographer. Very grateful! Definitely would recommend Nicole!
