“Every photo feels like a piece of a fairytale we actually lived”

From the moment we met Nicki her energy was kind, calming, and just good. The kind of person who instantly feels like a friend. She picked us up in her little camper van, Felix, and drove us all over the Highlands for hours, chasing the best views and the softest light. She never rushed us, never missed a detail, and made everything feel so easy and joyful. She didn’t just take photos—she captured our love exactly as it is: raw, real, a little wild, and absolutely ours.

“We instantly felt at ease with Nicki”

Nicki is wonderful - warm, welcoming and has a great sense of humour. We first met Nicki in November 2022 for an engagement shoot and just to get to know each other a little better before the wedding. We instantly felt at ease in Nicki's company and were so happy to have her join us on our big day. We had a very small intimate ceremony at Maryculter House in December with only 8 others and Nicki blended in, in the best possible way.We are so happy with our photographs! Thank you Nicki!

“Nicki captured not just our day, but our stories”

Living in Norfolk and getting married in Scotland meant we really had to put our faith in others, and Nicki did not let us down. Organising a wedding can be very overwhelming and stressful, but the one thing that we did not worry about at all, was the photos. The whole journey with Nicki was wonderful. She became a friend and put not just us but all our guests at ease too. Nicki made having our photos taken so calming and relaxing and looking at them now every one brings us so much joy. We’re in awe! Thank you so much Nicki!

“Nicki's pictures captured all the emotions of our wedding”

“We felt incredibly lucky to have found Nicki for our wedding at Aldourie Castle on Loch Ness. Her communication beforehand was fantastic; she was wonderful on the day and we were so impressed to have had a handful of gorgeous pictures to look through the very next morning!”

“We didn’t want the photos to feel like a chore”

“We spent a long time looking for photographers before making a choice. We loved Nicki's candid approach and even moved the wedding by one week as we really wanted to have Nicki! She is such a friendly, bubbly lady which really helps you feel like you are with a friend and you forget that the camera is there. All our photos are stunning and we are so glad she didn't cut any out because they really mean the world to us. She beautifully captured all the important moments. I couldn't recommend Nicki more. She really will make sure you have beautiful memories to treasure forever!!!.

“We gained a friend”

“Nicki was wonderful from start to finish, and we feel like we gained a friend rather than just a wedding photographer. Nicki is the kind of person who you could invite to your hen do at the last minute and just know she would get on amazingly well with all the other guests. We picked Nicki for her beautiful yet fun style but I feel strongly that part of the reason she is able to get such candid shots is because of the wonderful way she has of becoming a true part of the day - I can't imagine having had anyone else.”

“Nicki’s love for photography shines through in her images”

“Nicki’s love for photography and genuine interest in people’s lives, shines through in her images. We had Nicki photograph our wedding in August 2025 at the Barn in Banchory where she captured the heart of the day so beautifully. Thank you for helping us make lasting memories.” x

“We hit the jackpot with Nicki”

I feel like we really hit the jackpot with Nicki, when I first stumbled across her website I fell in love with her amazing ability to capture real, raw, natural moments. I LOVE how playful Nicki's photos are, she's great at whipping up a crowd and getting them to do something silly. She manages to capture the youth in every single person and I think that's down to Nicki herself being such a fun loving, caring, happy spirited person.
