    As a professional makeup artist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many photographers over the years, and I can confidently say that Niko Menko Photography is truly exceptional. Niko is not only incredibly talented behind the camera, but he also brings such a calm, professional, and collaborative energy to every shoot. He understands lighting, angles, and the details that make a huge difference, especially when it comes to capturing hair and makeup flawlessly. He creates an environment where clients feel comfortable and confident, which results in natural, beautiful images every time. His work is consistently timeless, polished, and full of genuine emotion. Any couple choosing Niko for their wedding photography is in amazing hands. He’s an absolute joy to work with, and I always look forward to collaborating with him. Highly recommend!

    Structure is one of his strengthens, you want a photographer like Niko knowing what he wants to capture going into a wedding. He definitely puts his client's desires first to what is important for them. His ideas come second and no one will go wrong in trusting in him. He is also helpful with timelines working along planners and day of coordinators for the best of timeliness.

    Niko Menko Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Niko understood the vision I had for our wedding photos based on the mood board I shared with him. We had a great meeting prior to the wedding day to go over all the details, which put me at ease knowing he was prepared. On the day of, Niko was incredibly professional and helpful - he guided us through posing and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The final results were absolutely stunning and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations, especially considering how affordable his services were. I would highly recommend Niko Menko Photography to any couple looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer.

    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.
