We loved working with Michele for our wedding and engagement photos! We first spent time with her doing our engagement photos - she had great suggestions for location and timing and easily made us feel comfortable during the shoot. I really appreciated that she was able to give us direction that led to really natural looking photos. On our wedding day, the same was true, she made us feel at ease, was very organized, listened to what we wanted and adapted the plan as needed, and overall was just great to spend time with. Our photos are beautiful and really captured the beauty and spirit of the day. Would highly recommend her!
Michele captured the beauty and spirit of the day perfectly

Michele is a GEM!! Throughout the whole process Michele was so easy to work with. She was very organized & her communication was on point. She sent me questionnaires that went over every scenario & detail she would need to know to do her job. We met during our engagement photo's & she was very professional & made us feel comfortable. Once the big day finally came we were on a tight time frame & Michele was patient & managed to keep everyone organized & fit in all of our different photo combos with ease. I am extremely happy with all of the photo's, she was able to capture every beautiful moment & I am very thankfull.
Michele was so easy to work with!

We were thrilled with Michele of Nikkels Photography for our wedding. She was so responsive and helped us through a lot of the planning so that on the wedding day everything felt effortless and she captured everything we wanted. All our guests told us how comfortable they felt with her which you can see in all the finished photos, which she also got back to us so quickly! I highly recommend Nikkels Photography!

My husband and I hired Michele as our wedding photographer and we couldn't happier that we did! Not only is she a talented photographer, but she is also an all-around amazing person. Something we really appreciated about Michele throughout the entire wedding planning process is that she truly took the time to get to know us. So, by the time it was our wedding day it felt more like we were hanging out with a friend than a vendor. We just got our wedding photos back this week and we have not stopped smiling since. Michele successfully captured each and every special moment beautifully so that we can relive our day forever!
Amazing experience!
