Nikki Hardgrave Photography

I’m Nikki, the photographer behind Nikki Hardgrave Photography. I specialize in documenting weddings with a calm, candid, and storytelling approach that focuses on real connection over forced poses. I believe your wedding day should feel meaningful and present—not rushed or performative—and I photograph with that same intention. From the quiet in-between moments to the big emotional ones, my goal is to create images that feel honest, warm, and timeless so you can relive your day exactly as it felt.

My approach to wedding photography is candid at its core, with gentle posing and clear direction to help couples feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I guide when needed and step back when moments unfold naturally, so nothing feels forced. I’m organized, communicative, and invested in making the experience smooth and stress-free from booking to final delivery. Every wedding is photographed with care, flexibility, and attention to what makes each couple unique.
