Testimonials
Nina brought a personal touch that I never expected to feel. Her experience & passion shone through the whole day. She was so organized and relaxing and she also helped everything to run smoothly. We cannot thank Nina enough and choosing her as our photographer was possibly the best wedding decision we made. Thank you again for everything. We canʼt recommend you enough.
Emma & Christopher
Nina is an absolute joy to work with. From the outset I was very nervous about getting a photographer for our wedding because I'm so shy around cameras. She went above and beyond to ensure we were both comfortable. You will have photos you cherish. It's impossible not to be at ease around her. She is fuelled by love stories and she captures these stories in her work. If you want to hire a photographer who is as invested in your story as you are, your search is over. Nina FTW!
Jess & Ger
As someone who hates having their photo taken, the idea of having a day of being in the spot light was a little intimidating. Nina was nothing less than amazing, she went above and beyond to ensure our day flowed with ease and fun. Nina took the time to get to know us as a couple and individually, I am so delighted to have had Nina share our day. From our first meeting I fell in love with Nina, ( I had loved her work which I seen before we met). When someone loves what they do accompanied by the enthusiasm and excitement Nina shows you can't help but hold on tight and enjoy the ride. Nina took our own personal hobbies into account when shooting our day which for us meant our personalities shone through our images. We also had some unplanned stops to get some amazing photos which we are delighted we took the time for. Even my beloved Ray Bans went missing and Nina was so good went back to the location we last remembered having them and low and behold she found them. Thank you so much Nina for capturing our day and making it so much fun. Now for the hard part........picking our favourites! Thank you for giving us photos we can cherish for years to come. Highly recommend this absolute gem of a lady.
