I have waited months to write this review as I was hopeful that Nick would follow through and resolve things. Unfortunately, that has not happened so I think it's important I share my experience with others who are looking for a photographer for their special occasions/events. We hired Nick to photograph our family for a special trip we took to Lake Tahoe to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. Nick was responsive when I reached out about the shoot and was very pleasant the day of the shoot. The issue began when we received the photos. One of the most important photos from the whole shoot was my mom with her grandkids, and there are port-a-potties visible in the background of all of those photos. I saw them during the shoot and pointed them out, but Nick assured me they were not in the photos. I emailed him to let him know we were not happy with those photos (I was actually very surprised he would even send them to me like that to begin with), and I asked if there was any way the port-a-potties could be edited out. He was unresponsive. It took four emails over the course of eight weeks before he responded. He was very kind in that email and apologized for the delayed response. He assured me that he would "work to make sure everything is right." That was at the end of September. After two more months and three additional follow-up emails, it seems that he will not be making good on his promise to make things right. At the very least, I would have appreciated him letting me know when I first emailed about the issue that he could not or would not correct it. That would have given me the opportunity to find someone else to help us instead of waiting four months with nothing to show for it. Another thing to keep in mind if you have young kids: He was very kind and patient with our rowdy group of kids, but he didn't have bubbles or anything along those lines to help get the little ones' attention. I've since done photos with another photographer who did that, and we ended up with a better end result. read more

Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure. He was with us from the start of our wedding year through our engagement and wedding photos. Our first meeting with Nick happened to be at a bar so I knew I liked the guy from the start since he knows how to pick locations to meet that will make his customers feel comfortable. Not only was he extremely professional and organized, his prices were far better than many of his competitors. The engagement photos Nick took of my wife, Morgan, and I came out fantastic. Since I had proposed in Virginia City, we decided to take photos there. Nick, being local, knew the locations well, did some extra scouting and was more than prepared for the photo shoot. Not only were the photos excellent, but the day felt more as if we were hanging out with friends taking random photos rather than having someone staging us to take professional photos. Everything felt so natural and enjoyable thanks to Nick and his skills as a photographer. The wedding photos were equally as fun. Nick and his second shooter took thousands of photos at the wedding! Bits and pieces of the whole day were captured and every time my wife has a chance to show them off, she has been more than happy to do so as they are beautiful and a great memory of the first day of our new lives together. Nick is a crafty veteran in photo taking as he instantly went home after the wedding and backed up everything in multiple spots in order to not lose a single image. He had a plan of attack and executed it perfectly. Not only that, as we had our ceremony at a church and there are special rules for how little movement the priest wanted, he made sure to verify exactly where he could be during the ceremony to get photos and not disturb the ceremony. He truly did a wonderful job and we couldn't be more pleased for selecting him to document our beautiful and joyous wedding. read more

My fiancé and I contacted Nick for an engagement photo session and it was a great experience from beginning to end. Email was the easiest way to get in contact and Nick was so flexible with days/times/locations. We met up with him on the day of the shoot and shot at a few locations in South Reno. He was pleasant, very funny and kind, and totally made the session what we hoped for. He went to extreme lengths to help us make the most of our shoot, even crawling through feet of snow and crouching on icy rocks. It was awesome! About a week after the shoot, we got our edited photos back (~90 of them), and have the option to contact him for a couple to be "super" edited. All of the photos are so good and I've been having to keep my cool so I don't explode on Instagram. But I highly recommend Nick to anyone who is looking for a quality person with a high level of skill. Worth every penny! read more

Everything about this guy makes us happy! Nick's enthusiasm for our wedding was contagious. He gets excited about love, about lighting, and about details. His business communication is quick with turnaround and he is thorough in planning for your big day. After meeting him twice over a beer my husband and I fell in photographer love. His prices are more than reasonable but we would have paid anything to have this guy be part of our day. Watching him take photos was like watching a kid in a candy store, Nick loves his work and it shows. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Nick is. Because of COVID we were in need of a wedding photographer with little notice and we couldn't have been luckier to book Nick. He was along the ride for our crazy, and chaotic ceremony, but was also more than happy to jump on a boat to Emerald Bay to take our wedding pictures. We had so much fun hiking... or walking through the forest capturing the beauty of Tahoe. He climbed over rocks and in bushes just to get the perfect shot. He is so easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable. He stayed longer than we had anticipated so that he could get the shots we wanted to remember our day. His turnaround time to get photos to us was so fast. I seriously couldn't be happier with getting to work with him and to get the incredibly, beautiful photos that he took for our special day. I wish we could get married there again so we could work with him! There is no better photographer in the Tahoe area so if you're thinking of having an event and need someone, Nick is your guy. You won't be disappointed! read more

Nick was absolutely amazing and so much fun to work with! Our wedding venue was quite remote and he was still more than happy to come all the way out to it to do our engagement photos and then again for the actual wedding. His work was gorgeous and we absolutely loved our pictures! He got them to us fast too! He was professional, skilled, personable and an absolute joy to work with! He had us laughing throughout our photos which made for some really wonderful shots! We would recommend him for any event, anywhere and to anyone!!! read more

Hired Nick for a Family Session. We were very disappointed with the photos. We had bad weather for our shoot and had to do most shots indoors. He did not try adding lighting and said the scene was moody and magical. As a result, the photos were dark and dull. Not a single picture would be worthy of his beautiful online portfolio. Most of the the photos were individual shots, he completely missed shooting my husband and step-daughter, and the only one of my son and I was far away and blurry when zoomed in. While he offered to reshoot, he weas unable to accomodate the one date when our daughter was back in town. read more
