Niko went above and beyond for our wedding photos. He was attentive to every detail and funny at the same time. We cannot recommend anyone even remotely as professional. His prices were spectacular and he also brought his own equipment. We are more thankful for his attentiveness and turn around time on photos. He helped keeps on track about what we needed and wanted to get photographed, especially with timing. Thank you so much ! Please don't look any further if you want beautiful pictures.

Niko was absolutely great to work with! We did our engagement photos with him. We were able to go to the location we wanted, even though we had to hike to get to a few locations and he carried his gear with no complaint while making conversation. Our photos turned out amazing and I can not wait to see what we can capture at our wedding! Thank you so much Niko!!

Niko Menko Photography was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication through email and text was great, making it easy to coordinate details and stay on the same page. Niko and his team were very easy to work with and produced beautiful, high-quality photos that captured all the special moments of our day. The use of flashes was particularly helpful in the low-light venues we used. I highly recommend Niko Menko Photography to any couples planning their wedding, as their work is outstanding and they offer flexible package options to fit different budgets and needs.

Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In my 13 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.

You can expect about 300 to 500 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
