About Nicole Kilday Photography

Nicole Kilday Photography

Illinois & Wisconsin Wedding Photographer

You’re getting married. Like — actually married. To your favorite human. On a day that’s loud, fast, and full of tiny moments you won’t realize are happening until later. That’s where I come in. I’m Nicole — an Illinois and Wisconsin wedding photographer documenting weddings with a documentary, candid approach and a subtle editorial edge. I care more about presence than perfection. Your only job should be marrying your favorite person.

I don’t run your wedding day — I read it. I’m there for the shaking hands, the belly laughs, the “we’re really doing this” moments, and the quiet pauses in between. Some moments need space. Some need gentle direction. I photograph weddings across Chicagoland and Southern Wisconsin for couples who care more about how it felt than making it look a certain way. Paying attention is the whole point.

Nicole Kilday Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding! From start to finish, Nicole’s communication was flawless—always on top of things and incredibly responsive. The quality of her work is stunning: creative, timeless, and truly a work of art. If you are looking for a photographer who has fun with you, helps you step out of your comfort zone, and creates wonderful images to last a lifetime, Nicole Kilday Photography is the one. She makes the entire experience easy, enjoyable, and unforgettable—while delivering photos that are truly works of art. Nicole was so helpful with timeline planning and keeping our lively group in order. She’s down to earth, really listens to your needs and wants, and makes sure every special moment is captured beautifully. Her support both before and during the wedding went above and beyond—we could always count on her for anything we needed. We are so grateful to have had Nicole as part of our day and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Nicole has been behind the lens for my family and I since 2017. From boudoir, to 4 crazy dog portraits, our wedding, gender reveals and back, she’s been our Go-To Gal. The amount of passion and purpose she puts in is unmatched. She doesn’t just show up, snap some pictures and send an invoice. Nicole puts in time and effort to get to know you, your dogs, your family and your story.
