We had a wonderful experience with Southern Love Creative throughout the entire wedding process. They were organized, flexible, transparent and fun! Laura was our main photographer and she was so kind and knowledgable. The photos turned out phenomenal and we will treasure them for years to come :)
Southern Love Creative provided us with an extraordinary wedding photography experience that we will cherish forever. From the moment we first met Laura for our engagement session, it was clear we were in the hands of a professional that was passionate about her craft. She carried that momentum forward along with the rest of her team for our wedding day. Laura was always open to our ideas and made sure to include specific shots we wanted in the final product. Even though we knew a great deal of meticulous planning had been involved behind the scenes, the entire process felt incredibly candid and natural, allowing us to enjoy our day without feeling overly posed or pressured. The team’s professionalism also shone through in their seamless collaboration with our videographer and wedding coordinator. They were timely in delivering the final photos and the quality of the work was nothing short of exceptional - each image truly a work of art that perfectly captured the feel, aesthetic, and important moments of our day. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories from our wedding that Southern Love Creative has given us, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!
We are so grateful to Laura and team for capturing our wedding day! From our very first meeting, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her enthusiasm and professionalism put us as ease, and she took the time to understand our vision for the day. The result was a perfect blend of candid and staged shots. She scouted the best locations at the venue, and gave us great creative direction on how to pose - we are so excited about the final photos! Our wedding party and guests also loved the photos. Would highly recommend Laura and team for your wedding and/or engagement shoot! If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also a pleasure to be around, Laura is your girl!
My wife and I couldn’t be happier to have worked with Nikk for our wedding. Seriously, this guy is an absolute monster behind the camera, while also being extremely professional and easy to work with. My wife and I both are not the types who love to have our photos taken – we both tend to stiffen up and pose unnaturally, but Nikk made us feel incredibly comfortable while also making us look way cooler than we actually are. Everybody tells us we look like we belong in a magazine – it’s absolutely wild. His eye for capturing unique moments is amazing, and he gave us the perfect balance of moments throughout the evening that are intimate, candid, and posed – all of which are incredible. All of his shots feel cohesive together, and looking through our entire library actually feels like I’m following a narrative and reliving our wedding as if we were in the eyes of one of our guests. After our virtual meeting, we felt completely comfortable giving Nikk the freedom to join us and capture everything he wanted, while also capturing a healthy list of things we absolutely wanted. Nikk went above and beyond to capture everything we wanted, and then gave us way more than we ever thought we could need, all the while being very timely and professional. I’d recommend Nikk to absolutely anybody — it’s hard to express just how stoked we are with his work.
Nikk captured our engagement and wedding photos. We wouldn't have it any other way. We love to travel and he captured the texture, architecture, culture, intimate moments during our welcome dinner and wedding. Nikk is extremely professional and has such an artistic eye. We feel like we are re living the moment and experience looking at our photos. We absolutely love our photos and would highly recommend Nikk.
