Taylor was a joy to work with. She was very professional and helpful, and didn't push us into weird poses and awkward situations. The final pictures looked awesome, and I'm so grateful to see all the memories preserved in the pictures.

I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

Enea and Hailey were fantastic to work with!! I was extremely happy with how our engagement photos turned out. On our wedding day, they were prompt and ready to go. Hailey remembered all the specific shots that I wanted to get and was flexible with timing and getting extra shots that the family requested. The pictures are absolutely stunning. The video was just as incredible. The shots they got, the audio, the music, was all edited so beautifully. I have received so many compliments on how amazing the video and pictures turned out. They captured every aspect of our day that I hoped for and then some. I would recommend them to everyone :)

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event.

Hey!! I'm Dani 👋 — a Lake Tahoe based wedding photographer who will happily hop on a plane for a good love story. I'm a Diet Coke enthusiast, a dog person to my core, chronically online, and the kind of person who will hype you up so hard you'll forget you were ever nervous. I care deeply about the people I work with and even more about making sure you actually get to ENJOY the day you spent a year planning. I've got the behind-the-scenes handled — you just show up and have the best day of your life.

I knew from the start that I wanted Dani to capture our special day, not just because we’ve been close friends since college, but because her artistic style and deep understanding of the wedding process are truly unmatched. She has an incredible gift for meeting you exactly where you are. Even for those of us who are typically camera shy, Dani made us feel so comfortable that the magic happened naturally. She captured moments with our closest family and friends that I never thought I’d be able to see, and the results are more beautiful than I could have imagined. Beyond her stunning photography, Dani is a true professional who handles the logistics and payment breakdowns with total clarity. On the day of the wedding, she was willing to do it all, from expertly handling my wedding dress bustle to busting moves on the dance floor! Having her second shooter, Jordan, there was also a huge plus to ensure that every single moment was documented from every angle. If you want a photographer who brings incredible energy, capability, and heart to the biggest day of your life, Dani is the one!

Memo really came to the rescue when we had originally booked with a studio that flaked two days prior to the wedding. Memo was extremely patient and understanding of our situation and offered us a very generous and flexible rate to accommodate us with such short notice. He maintained a positive attitude during the whole event even when the circumstances were not ideal. Memo is very professional and friendly, you can tell he is passionate about his work. We were so happy with our photos, I would definitely book him again for an anniversary shoot or a family shoot. Thanks again, Memo. :)

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nicky Byrnes Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we connected with Nicky, her communication style was open, easy, and she was quick to respond to all of our questions. Her work is genuine, memorable, and absolutely beautiful. We first met Nicky while we were travel nursing in Tahoe, where she took our engagement photos. We were so impressed with her talent that we knew we had to have her capture our wedding day as well. On the big day, Nicky truly went above and beyond, traveling all the way to Alabama to photograph our celebration. Her work was phenomenal - she really captured the energy and joy of the party.
