Nicole Goddard

All Brides To-Be,

Nicole Goddard came highly recommended by my wedding planner, Kelly Demaray. Know that I was the bride who wanted a photographer who was someone that would fit with our personality and be someone that wanted to be part of our wedding party. I was also seeking someone who would not try to take advantage of me as so many do in the wedding industry. I knew what I wanted: (a) to not see my fiancé for the first time until I walked down the aisle (2) no photo album and (3) no enlarged prints.

The first time I met Nicole it was like meeting with an old friend. I have never met anyone so passionate about their profession. When you first meet Nicole you feel like you have known her your entire life. She is on it! Nicole scoped out the location beforehand and even our “play around” pictures turned out good (see the first picture in the sequence above). When we went to our reception venue, the manager shared that there had not been one photographer who had been able to secure a good picture in their particular venue. Nicole took the initiative to ask their permission to properly set up the lighting to ensure that we had the highest quality pictures. Most people would have used this as an excuse to be lazy and just get paid. Not Nicole!

The day of our wedding Nicole was most impressive. She has a way of being direct while being courteous and fun. Our wedding videographer shared that he was most impressed by her. My Mom repetitively said, “Your wedding photographer is the sweetest girl and I hope that you are in touch with her for the rest of your life, she is wonderful”. Nicole takes whatever is in store for the day whether it is rain, shine, clouds and/or family situations and makes it work. She is the consummate professional and has an eye for love, fun and intimacy. Your personalities will shine through your pictures with Nicole’s work.

After seeing Nicole’s work, I knew what I wanted (a) to see my fiancé in an intimate setting before the ceremony (b) a photo album made by Nicole and (3) an enlarged photo stretched on canvas.

Nicole will always be a part of one of the most special days in our lives and we recommend you invite her into your family on your wedding.

Congratulations on your engagement and making a great choice in photographers.
