Nicole Catherine Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Malibu, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style

Hi, I'm Nicole! From a young age, I always had a camera in hand and absolutely loved taking photographs and documenting anything that caught my eye. Born and raised in Southern California, I love the beach, bright colors, and documenting couples' love stories. Pursuing my passion for photography, I graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography with my BFA. I photographed my first wedding in 2014 and never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Nicole for our engagement photos in 2019, and then booked her for our wedding in November 2020, which ended up being postponed to November 2021. Nicole was THE BEST to work with. She was always super responsive on email when I had questions or requests. On the day of the wedding, Nicole and her second shooter were literally a dream. They were so low key and chill, which is exactly what I needed in that stressful situation. Nicole was super perceptive to my personality and mood, and she could tell when I was ready to move on from a certain shot or group. Our entire wedding party and families loved working with her! She sent our preview pics so quickly, and honestly there are so many amazing pictures included! I can't imagine what the full albums will be like! I would recommend Nicole 100% to people looking for a wedding photographer in the area with her style!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I originally went to college for photography because I love art & I wanted to be challenged. I love creating things & capturing stories. I truly believe the best investment you can make is in your memories because lets be real, we forget things, even the things we try so hard to remember. Life goes on, other moments happen & memories fade. Photos are one of the few tangible things we can hold on to when we want to relive a special time, an emotion, a highlight of your life. With all that pressure, it’s important that you love them. I am an arist, you are my paint brush & your story is the final piece.

I have been a wedding coordinator for about a year and I've never worked with a photographer that I absolutely click with off the bat. Her work is incredible and she's soo patients and makes you feel at easy and actually listens to the bride and groom. She captures your special days and sends you your photos quickly. Brides let me tell you if your looking for a photographer Reagan is your gal. Don't waste your time finding photographer trust me she is your gal.

Malibu, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

Hi there! My name is Kinsey. I believe in living a life you love, which brought me to begin photographing people in the first place. I began my photography journey ten years ago, when I bought my first camera at 18. It never left my side, and I began photographing anything, everything - in love and obsessed with the idea of documenting the love and connection we share with each other, the intimate, in-between moments, and the things we communicate without speaking.

We worked with Kinsey from the start of our engagement to our wedding day and we cannot recommend her enough! Not only was the package we purchased (engagement session wedding day with a second shooter) inclusive and reasonably priced, but Kinsey herself was personable, easy to work with, kind and friendly. Moreover - THE PHOTOS! Kinsey's work is stunning. She managed to capture high-end work that also felt intimate and romantic. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kinsey!

  • Storytelling style

We love your style!! Although it’s super nice to hear, I respect that style is an ever-changing thing that needs inspiration and fresh ideas. I LOVE to capture those “unaware” behind-the-scenes moments that give your film added emotional depth, and love using slow motion. I bring a very high-end cinematic look to every wedding story and I always get excited when I first see the footage from a wedding shoot because there is always so much footage that is insanely gorgeous! Putting these parts and pieces together is where the magic begins. I do all of my own editing because the FILMING part loves to tango with the EDITING part.

We hired Rob from Second Song. From the very first call with my husband and I, he took the time to really hear our needs and what we envisioned. Throughout the planning process, Second Song was extremely organized with a portal and made it an exceptional experience for me and my husband to easily input our information for every detail from pre-ceremony music vision and vibes, to walking down the aisle with specific songs, to making the grand entrances exceptionally special, fun, and memorable, all of the announcements, to every detail with speeches and first dances. It really set such an ease knowing every detail was accounted for. Our DJ, Rob, delivered on every single detail we asked for and more. We all had such a fun time dancing, and Second Song truly made it a 10/10 experience in terms of the music/sound experience. If you are looking for an amazing DJ/MC service for your wedding or event, we cannot recommend Rob and Second Song enough. Thank you, Rob and Second Song, for being such an important part of our special day and for doing such a great job. We sincerely appreciate it!

He took the time to understand the little things that were important to us, from the songs we wanted included to the personal touches that made our ceremony feel truly special. One of the most memorable moments was when he sang my favorite song. It was such a beautiful touch that meant so much to me.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Lulan Studios about nine months before our wedding day. We were immediately drawn in by their professionalism and their reputation. Lulan is an inclusive photographer who was very receptive to our wedding vision. He and his team were incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful all throughout the process. We elected to go with Lulan Wang himself for our photographer who worked with an associate. After our initial consultation we were turned over to Shannon who was our go to contact for day to day clarifications and vendor contact until Lulan took over just before the wedding. Shannon was immensely resourceful and responsive. She communicated with our coordinator very efficiently and was always on top of our booking. We are very grateful to her as well for making the process so easy and for continuing that communication after the fact. On the day, Lulan and his associate were spectacular. It was clear his associate had more than enough talent for the job just like Lulan, but they divided and concurred by using two different types of cameras for different types of shots. We regret not doing an engagement session with them, but we will likely return for an Anniversary session in the future. We didn’t even need one though, because he is skilled enough that he understood us as a couple immediately. They made us feel comfortable and confident. They hyped us up and moved through the shot list masterfully. Nothing was missed and we captured far more than we expected. Please look through our attached photos as they speak for themselves. One of the most exciting moments was when Lulan handed us a little blue book filled with about fifteen physically printed preview photos DURING THE RECEPTION. A lovely surprise that absolutely shocked me. Turnover was 4-6 weeks and we got ours just before the six week mark right on schedule. We were floored. They are jaw-dropping. We ultimately got 950 photos permanently digitally available for high resolution download and access to a shop with impressive options for prints and albums of a wide array of types and sizes. I’m thrilled to show them to you here and implore you to consider booking Lulan Studios. We trusted in their ability from the beginning and we were not disappointed. They are among if not the absolute best in the business.

His use of the Vibo app was such a game-changer—it allowed us to easily upload our song selections and ceremony/reception timeline details, making communication and organization effortless. We gave Seth just a handful of songs to set the vibe, and he curated an incredible playlist that perfectly matched the energy we wanted. What impressed us most was how attentive he was to the dance floor—when guests weren’t feeling a particular track, Seth quickly pivoted and got everyone back on their feet. By the end of the night, the energy was sky-high, and our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had! On top of all that, Seth’s DJ booth setup was sleek and clean, and we loved being able to display our photos and videos on his screen—it added such a personal and unique touch to the night. We can’t recommend Seth and Vital Event Group enough. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, adaptable, and truly knows how to keep the party alive, Seth is the one! Thanks Seth!!
