Go to Australia

November 21, 2019 by Nicole Caldwell

I fell in Love with Australia. I was lucky enough to document a wedding full of love, and able to do a bit of sight seeing too. The Russel Hotel is a small boutique hotel in the historic Rocks located in Circular Quay. There is a small winding hallway, and if you get thirsty, there is a classy pub on the first level. You can see the Opera house, and it’s a nice walk along the waters edge to it. […]

Testimonials

“Nicole has an incredible talent, a unique eye, and just one of the best personalities! Our wedding shots were absolutely perfect, which makes it so darn hard to pick a few that we liked because we honestly LOVED them all!! We were so fortunate that we were referred to her, that she was willing to travel for our wedding, and that we seriously don’t have one bad photo from the wedding!! She even got some INCREDIBLE shots of us underwater after the wedding. We enjoyed working with Nicole and we know we have a family photographer, and friend, for life! <3"

Lindsay- Destination Wedding Greece

I am breathless! You truly are the most creative and talented photographer and I am so fortunate to have had you capture my special day. The engagements, boudoir and wedding shots have all far exceeded my expectations.

Monica -Destination Wedding Maui

“Nicole is INCREDIBLE. I worked with her when I was a wedding coordinator at a venue in Laguna Beach. She was always so professional, easy to work with and so creative. When I got engaged, we reconnected and she was the perfect choice for our special day. She did an incredible engagement shoot that we are crazy about, and have the most amazing pictures that captured our all time favorite memory because of her special eye. If you want unique style, easy to work with photographer, she is ABSOLUTELY the perfect pick. She knows exactly what she is doing and makes you feel totally comfortable just being yourself. Thank you so much Nicole! We love you!”

Cayla- Destination Wedding Portland

I booked Nicole for a boudoir shoot (something I’ve never done before), I of course felt slightly nervous as it is something out of my comfort zone. Upon arrival at the studio, I immediately felt at ease. As we started the shoot Nicole made me feel so comfortable and confident. I drove all the way from Vegas just to shoot with her and it was well worth it!!

Emily

“It all started with our engagement photos and from then on we have used Nicole for everything: boudoir, destination wedding in Barbados, and family session. Her photography is more than a generic session and her artistry is evident in every photo she creates!!!”
