"I used Nicole for my bridal and engagement portraits, and my wedding day. She did an amazing job and is somehow able to capture such glowing pictures. She is easy to work with, and always on time. She is very responsive during the planning process which is nice when you're a stressed bride planning everything! During our wedding that is truly when we saw how skilled she is. At our reception she was able to get in the action and take pictures of everyone and everything going on without seeming to be in the way. She truly loves what she does and it shows. Not to mention she gets your pictures back to you so fast! I would recommend her to anyone for their wedding."

"Nicole was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. We wanted a photographer who would let us enjoy our day and be there to take beautiful photos of it, and Nicole far exceeded our expectations. The quality of the photos she took is simply stunning. She was never intrusive yet made sure to capture all of the photos we requested. In addition to the wedding, she took our engagement photos and my bridal portraits and was responsive and easy to work with through it all. Getting photos we loved was one of our top priorities for the wedding. My motto throughout planning was "Wedding pictures are forever!" And thanks to Nicole, I know we will love them forever."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Nicole. She kept in contact with me prior to the wedding, was helpful the day of, was able to make the groomsmen stand still long enough for pictures, was able to corral crazy family members, and got some beautiful pictures in the process. It was my hope to come away with one good, solid wedding picture that I loved but I came away with soooo many wonderful pictures. I'll always be thankful for that. She is punctual, professional and gets all the good shots during the ceremony and reception without you even noticing she's there. She is able to make everyone feel comfortable - even those that hate having their pictures taken. Nicole obviously enjoys what she does, and she was able to turnaround our wedding pictures much quicker than many of my friends' photographers. One look at her blog, and you'll see that her work is consistently amazing. I'd pick Nicole again in a heartbeat."

"I am so pleased with Nicole Chatham Photography! As soon as I browsed through her portfolio while searching for a wedding photographer I knew I wanted to book with Nicole. She made the process so easy and was by far the most responsive vendor I dealt with throughout my wedding planning. Excellent customer service and all questions answered in a very timely manner, which is greatly appreciated! Her editing skills and photography style are truly amazing and you can tell she truly loves what she does and reflects it upon her work. Always a pleasure to work with someone who appreciates your business and delivers an amazing ending product. She sent us our images way faster than expected and by far the fastest than any of my friends’ photographers have received their pictures. I definitely didn’t mind waiting as I knew that I would love them 100% no matter how long it took but it is definitely worth noting that you’ll receive great customer service and even better images in a very timely manner. My husband and I had no previous experience in how to pose for pictures and I was truly shocked at how easy and comfortable she made us feel at our engagement photo shoot. I was seriously so nervous about not knowing how to pose (as well as my husband) but she truly has it all down with so many different poses so that they are not repetitive and make you feel great and not so much like a “forced” look/pose. I was very thankful for that as our pictures came out way better than expected and I’m so happy to have these beautiful images for the rest of our lives. I can’t thank Nicole enough for capturing these beautiful moments at our engagement shoot and our wedding day. I can’t recommend her enough and I can’t wait to use her again! Thank you so much for your hard work, Nicole! Until next time :)"

Frequently Asked Questions

A: If you choose to do a "first look", 1.5 hours prior to sunset is ideal.  If you choose to go the more traditional route and forego a "first look", having you ceremony 2.5 hours before sunset is recommended so I can capture the "bride and groom", "bridal party" and "family" portrait sections of the day all outdoors.

Q: to ensure we have our portraits taken before sunset, what time should our ceremony start?

A: Yes!  Every package comes with a full copyright release.

Q: Do we get the copyright release to our photos?

Q: if We want to book an engagement or bridal session, what days can this be scheduled?

Q: how many photos will we receive from our wedding?

Q: how do we book our date?

Bridal portrait sessions are a Southern tradition where the bride takes portraits (typically 2-3 months before the wedding) in her full wedding day attire - hair, makeup, jewelry, veil, bouquet, and of course, the dress. Generally a large portrait from the session is displayed at the reception. In many cases the large photo is given as a gift to the Mother of the Bride after the wedding, with smaller photos being given to the Groom and the Father of the Bride, as well.


Bridal portraits are a great opportunity for a trial run for your wedding day look. Often times a bride will change her hair style, add more or less makeup or maybe change the jewelry she chose for her wedding day after seeing the entire look come together for her bridal portraits. It's great to be able to make these adjustments BEFORE the wedding day. And who doesn't love getting dolled up every once in awhile?

BRIDALS

"Because every moment counts..."

BACK

 These are our favorite type of session to photograph! It's always nice to have professional photos of you and your fiancé not in wedding attire, and engagement sessions are a perfect time for that. We love getting to know our couples during this time, and it's a great opportunity for you to get comfortable with us in front of our camera which makes you even more comfortable for photos on your wedding day!

Sessions are typically scheduled M-F, about two hours before sunset in order to capture the days most beautiful, natural lighting.  If you are using a picture for your save the date cards, you want to schedule your session about 6-8 months out from your wedding day.  Try to avoid the extremely hot or cold months and if possible, aim for spring, early summer, and fall for your portraits.  Also, wind and rain can make it nearly impossible to shoot so be prepared to be flexible and reschedule as necessary. 

ENGAGEMENTS

Style Tip:

Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident!  While it is great to compliment your future spouse in photos, by no means do the two of you need to wear matching outfits.  If your other half is more comfortable in solid colors, try choosing something with a little texture.  Patterns and fun accessories are a great way to add contrast to images.
