Hey, I’m Nicole. I’m an Orange County photographer who loves capturing real moments that tell a story. My approach is simple: I focus on the emotions and connections that make each moment unique. Specializing in intimate weddings and elopements, I find joy in documenting the quiet, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed. But honestly, my favorite thing to photograph is engagement and couples sessions (especially in Laguna Beach)—there’s something about the raw excitement and anticipation that makes those moments feel so special.
I’m all about creating photos that evoke a feeling, a memory, a sense of nostalgia. I want to help you hold on to those genuine moments that matter, and make sure they’re never forgotten. I specialize in intimate weddings and elopements but also have such a love for engagement sessions, maternity sessions, and family sessions. My favorite place to work is by the beach. Laguna Beach and Newport Beach are my favorite backdrops for sessions. I would love to photograph your special moments and be apart of some of the most important moments in your life. I am more than just a Laguna Beach Photographer. I am a mom, a wife, and I have been in your shoes before and know the importance of these moments in your life being documented.
