lighthearted photographer for funky folks

Hi! I’m Nadine, I’m so glad you’re here!

I’ve been taking pictures since I was a tot rockin’ a chunky plastic monster from Kodak.

Since then, I’ve been obsessed with preserving memories and emotions as authentically as possible. It feels like magic to me because I’m the type of person who’s already nostalgic before the moment’s over. I believe good photography is about capturing life as it is; not embellishing or controlling the moment. I want you to remember the real, raw emotion of what you’re experiencing right now.

My philosophy

I feel like being a wedding photographer is simultaneously the most serious and the most unserious job in the world.  

It’s DEAD SERIOUS because these photos are everything – what do people grab on their way out of a fire? Their photos. We desperately want to preserve these treasured moments – proof that love and laughter and unbridled joy exist; proof that we really, truly are LOVED for exactly who we are. This job is serious because I am the memory keeper, the historian, the documentarian, the artist, the curator, the director.  I am telling your story for generations to come.  I take this privilege seriously.

It’s also so unserious because HELLO my job is to show up to your party – the most spectacular, rowdy, emotional, whirlwind-y day of your life – and run around with 5 cameras dangling off of me.   Then I get to go home and stare at your beautiful faces for hours and laugh and cry alongside you all over again. 

When all is said and done, I’ve curated your gallery to tell your story with honesty and emotion, the result is timelessly beautiful, but not too serious.  It’s that simple, and it really is insanely fun.

    “Not only is Nadine an incredible creative, she is socially gifted!  She doesn't just take great photos, she builds enduring shots.  And that takes an extra layer of feel as well as the intentional priority of seeking out the rare moments. She is politely bold and delightfully humorous.  Relaxed and entertaining, she transferred her unique spirit to everyone in front of her camera.”

    “We’re both usually pretty awkward in front of a camera (camera comes out, we freeze), but Nadine made us feel so at ease. It felt more like a fun morning walk with a friend than a photo shoot… and somehow, she snagged the most pure, authentic moments of our love we’ve ever caught on camera along the way. Now we’ve got a ton of stunning city shots to hold onto forever—and a new friendship, too. Even my boyfriend, who typically hates getting photos taken, was like, ‘Can we do another shoot with Nadine?’”

    “After working with Nadine my husband said ‘I have never seen anyone better at their job.’ I 100% agree.

    She has a way of reminding you of your love that makes whole experience of having your photos taken with you partner feel super romantic.

    She shot film + digital and the photos were exactly what we wanted — no overly posed or cheesy shots; just beautiful, candid pictures that feel like us… our love and personalities really come through.

    What truly set Nadine apart was just how much fun she is and how she really brings out the best in everyone she's around. She constantly made us laugh, feel confident and relaxed all while nailing every single shot we wanted.”

    “Nadine was an absolute DREAM to work with for my wedding and wedding weekend. It is one thing to love and adore the end product of the photos, but another to genuinely love and adore your photographer’s energy. With Nadine, you get both.

    Her photos are so genuine. You can really feel them — like you were there.

    She stayed authentic to what look I wanted while also remaining true to her art. I had guests/family rave about her to me after the wedding saying how great the photos were and how everything felt so genuine to our event”

  • — Taylor & Steven

    “She really captured the overall feeling of such an intimate and special day. The photos felt very organic and never too posed or awkward! She really has a way of making you feel at ease and almost forgetting she's even there, while still ensuring you look great!

    Nadine's communication style is open, quick, and friendly. Talking and planning with her felt like talking to a friend and she really takes the time to listen to what is most important to you as a couple.”
