About Nicole Catherine Photography

Nicole Catherine

Photographers

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.

From the moment I walked into the bride's getting ready room filled with laughter, I knew this was my career path. I am still in awe that I am able to capture this incredible, joyful, and emotional day for many couples. It is truly a blessing to witness them marry the love of their life.

    Definitely book Nicole!

    I spent months researching photographer options for my wedding. At the time, I did not realize how different photographer's editing styles were. It became apparent to me that I was looking for a style that would be light, airy, and colorful. When I first met Nicole (via Zoom) we knew she would be a great photographer for our wedding. She was very responsive and made sure we had clear alignment for which photos were 'must haves' for the day of. Nicole was also instrumental in helping with our day of schedule and helped keep us on track the day of! The photos came back absolutely stunning!

    Hiring Nicole Will Be Your Best Vendor Decision!

    Nicole is THE BEST! We initially hired her for our engagement shoot but we loved her photos so much once we saw them that we immediately hired her for our wedding too, and those photos came out equally as amazing! Nicole did such a great job capturing all of the happiness, warmth and love from our wedding day that I feel like I’m reliving every wonderful moment when I look at them. Beyond her skills as a photographer, Nicole was so patient and kind with all of my questions and was such a sweet, positive person to have with us at the wedding - when it was time for her to go I didn’t want her to leave! Overall, Nicole was a marvelous addition to our day and captured every beautiful moment in pictures that our family and friends are still raving about months later!

    The best decision we made

    Nicole went above and beyond. Covid complicated things, but she was understanding and accommodating. We only had her for a short while, but somehow she found the time to capture every moment I was hoping for, along with some that came as a pleasant surprise when I got the photos back! These photos are more beautiful then I could have possibly imagined and my family and I will cherish them for the rest of our lives.

    The best!

    Hiring Nicole was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We were originally supposed to get married in April 2020 and didn't end up having the wedding until September 2021. Nicole was amazing throughout the entire process: she helped us find other vendors and supported us through many postponements. On the wedding day she made everyone feel comfortable and confident. And most importantly our photos turned out beautifully! The colors are vibrant and classic so they will never go out of style. We couldn't be happier with our photos and the environment Nicole helped to create on our wedding day. She really went above and beyond the role of a photographer and we would highly recommend hiring her!

    Nicole is a dream!

    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!

I would describe my photography as joyful, timeless, and full of color. I photograph your day with a perfect blend of "documentary style" to capture all the in-between moments and "fine-art" as I thoroughly style each image I capture. My photos are full of emotion since I strive to help you relive your day again and again.

Yes! I love engagement sessions for many reasons. One being that it’s a great way for us to get to know each other; We laugh, exchange stories, and I get the opportunity to see how you interact as a couple. Once the wedding day comes around you two are pros at posing and are familiar with my cues.
Yes! It can be provided to your venue upon request.
Yes! I am based in Southern CA, and love to visit new places! Travel fees may apply so be sure to let me know where you are dreaming about going.
I have a great network of talented photographers who share the same passion and shooting style as me. They are all seasoned professionals who run their own photography businesses. I ask my clients to trust who I hire based on their availability and location of their wedding.
I love “golden hour”, especially at the beach! Your session will typically start an hour and a half before the sunsets. For trails plan for two or two and a half hours before the sunsets since we typically lose the sunlight over the hills.
