embrace the awkward and
capture your favorite “that’s so us” moments…
because you can’t pose laughter.

I’m Nikky.
A central PA based, but totally down to travel worldwide, lifestyle & wedding photographer & videographer.
READY TO DITCH THE STRESS AND EMBRACE THE SILLINESS?
Because let's be real, getting hitched should be FUN! We'll hang out, laugh like crazy, and basically become besties by the end of the day (or should I say, weekend if you're down for a destination wedding!).
Finding a photographer you click with is a BIG DEAL,
and trust me, I can't wait to meet you too!
ABOUT NK VISUALS
I shoot natural photography with a laid-back approach to create wedding photos that won’t make you die a little bit inside while we’re taking them.
I work with my couples as actual human beings to create images that reflect their personalities – not just an artificial/posed ‘version’ of what you both look like when you’re forced to look a certain way.
This unique approach takes all the awkwardness out of portraits + is perfect for couples who are camera shy or prefer natural wedding photography. Now, a natural wedding photography approach isn’t for everyone. Which is why I try to offer a healthy mix of posed and candids. But mainly, I believe that candid wedding photography should come from the perspective of someone who’s also invested + curious in every friend, family member + unfolding story. In the day and age of mobile phone cameras, instant sharing + filters that completely alter appearances – I believe that it’s more important than ever that your natural wedding photography is authentic.
Being ‘authentic’ goes beyond minimizing the use of trendy filters. It requires a total shift in priority from ‘taking wedding photos of someone so that they look nice” to “identifying + showing personality”. I want you to really see the people you love in your wedding photos. I don’t care about posing them to make them ‘look’ fun if *they are actually* fun. I just want to give people the permission to be themselves and not feel like they have to act a certain way.
You can be posed in a flattering way….be in perfect lighting…with a beautiful backdrop + retouch your face till it no longer resembles a face. The best a “nice” photo can ever be is “nice”. The best wedding photographers are those that create a space where you can be yourselves + therefore associate it with an aspect of a loved-ones personality. These are the wedding photos that can only grow in personal value throughout your lifetime.
When there's only one drunk dancer on the floor, and you've squeezed every last drop of beauty and bliss out of the day until it's practically dehydrated, you will have precisely 3(ish) things to help you relive this day:
YOUR LOVE, YOUR MEMORIES, YOUR PHOTOS
And it’s the photos that you’ll come back to year after year. As time flies by, you'll find that these photos will earn their weight in gold, and then some. Your wedding is a real opportunity to capture a huge collection of candid, storytelling photographs that depict all the people you care about most. The best wedding photography should bring back side-splitting stories, hazy dance floor memories + remind you of your connection to those closest to you.
You can’t pose or artificially construct that sort of thing.

FAQs

I'm not the type to say "You get 25 edited images and that's it". What's the point? What am I going to do with all the others? So there's no limit on edited photos received! I take hundreds of photos- okay full transparency, I'm a massive overshooter so probably thousands. So whether 100 or 200+ come out great in the editing process, you will see every single one of them! My couples often see 400-800 photos (if not more) depending on how long I'm there. However, I will always choose quality rather than quantity to make sure the best pictures tell your story.

For a regular session, you will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within a maximum 4 weeks. Wedding galleries typically will be done within 8-10 weeks. Wedding films have a similar timeline, with 8-10 weeks being the typical time. However, quality and transparency is important to me so I will keep you updated every step of the way!

I prefer to take all payments through my secure client portal. It uses Stripe, a popular card processing platform. No worries, no hidden fees! That being said, I would also accept cash if arranged ahead of time. At this time I do not unfortunately accept checks or money orders. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
-
NOW WHAT?
Please contact me using the form on this site or via my social media and I will get back to you as soon as I can (typically within 24 hours). Once we discuss what you're looking for, I will send over an invoice for a deposit and contracts to book via my client portal. For weddings, I do require a consultation (either in person or via video chat) to ensure we are a good fit for one another and to gather more details because it is a very special and important day so being on the same page with expectations is necessary!

I completely understand. A hard pill for me to swallow was that my prices won't work for everyone. However, I try to be as affordable as possible to make sure I can accommodate those who would like my services. To do that, I offer customizable packages that fit your budget, as well as offer interest free payment plans. Let's talk!!

Yes, absolutely. Soooo much insurance. Many venues will refuse to allow me (or any wedding vendor) on their property without liability insurance.
