I love the great connections I can make working a wedding! While working at Meghan and Alex’s wedding in July, I was very fortunate to meet their matron of honor Wendi. Wendi was a few months pregnant with her son Bryce. Months later, I had the honor of having baby Bryce in my studio for his first professional photo shoot. When Wendi arrived, she had some of the best accessories for Bryce’s photo shoot! We had great hats, comfy blankets and an adorable set of colorful blocks spelling Bryce’s name. It was going to be a fun shoot! Bryce is obviously a minimalist, as he had other plans. First of all, the hats made his little head too hot and he didn’t enjoy them at all (that’s fine, Bryce has a faux hawk that should not be missed!). Next, the blanket was pretty slippery and Bryce did not enjoy being propped up on it. And most importantly, Bryce just didn’t seem to enjoy the studio.

I’m so proud to announce Photography by Nikki Cole has once again been awarded the “Bride’s Choice Award” from Wedding Wire. This is the third time we’ve been given this honor!
Do what you love and the money will follow. It’s the most important lesson I learned in college. I took a “Real World” preparation class my senior year at UNH.

That phrase led me to photography. And now I’m calling upon it again. When you find yourself at the end of an incredibly successful year, you ask yourself how can I make next year even better? My answer is inevitably, do what you love and the money will follow. So here I am with a New Year’s resolution I promise to actually complete (but I SWEAR I’m going to loose weight too!). I am resolved to make my blog into something more than just my professional shooting. Don’t get me wrong. I’m very proud of my portfolio. And I love shooting weddings. After all, I started working weddings long before photography. But a blog is meant to be more than a website with a different name. It’s supposed to be more of a commentary. It’s […]
What a way to end the year! Maura & Brian’s celebration was just perfect. The Red Lion Inn in Cohasset played the utterly elegant host. The weather was perfect for photos and the couple was totally in love. The only thing missing was their fabulous dog Fenway! I had a chance to meet him on our engagement shoot and missed him terribly.
