The Knot Best of Weddings - 2022 Pick

"Nicole was a sure thing from the beginning. She is truly professional, responsive and kind. She was great to work with especially with all of the uncertainty and date changes for our wedding because of covid. She really puts the extra effort into making sure you feel confident in her and then shows up and does a phenomenal job. The photos from our wedding are gorgeous and she made my husband and our families feel very comfortable during the whole process because we’re not necessarily that comfortable being photographed. She took creative and less cookie cutter type photos which is exactly what I wanted. You won’t regret committing to her as your wedding photographer!"

A glimpse into the memories I’ve captured

Intimate celebrations, documented with intention.

Here you’ll find moments from weddings and elopements—vineyard vows in Mendoza, intimate celebrations in Buenos Aires, small city gatherings in New York, and heartfelt ceremonies in Patagonia. Each story is different, yet all are about love, belonging, and the quiet truths that make a day unforgettable. My work is about noticing—the emotions, the atmosphere, and the in-between pauses that hold the most meaning.

Aquí vas a encontrar momentos de bodas y elopements—votos entre viñedos en Mendoza, celebraciones íntimas en Buenos Aires, pequeñas reuniones en Nueva York y ceremonias llenas de emoción en la Patagonia. Cada historia es distinta, pero todas hablan de lo mismo: amor, pertenencia y esas verdades silenciosas que hacen que un día sea inolvidable. Mi trabajo consiste en observar—las emociones, la atmósfera y esas pausas entre momentos que guardan el mayor significado.

An elopement, or
intimate wedding,

might be for you if...

You want more than photographs; you want memories that bring back how it all felt.
You value connection, presence, and quiet moments just as much as dramatic landscapes.
You dream of exchanging vows in a way that feels deeply your own—whether in Patagonia, across Argentina, or anywhere in the world that holds meaning for you.
You want a photographer who makes you feel safe, seen, and supported—someone who can gently guide you through the day while letting you be yourselves.

with me as your photographer,

Specializing in love stories that feel as real as the day itself

The Latest Notes

You can search “Is an elopement right for us?” but the honest truth is: there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Your perfect wedding doesn’t come from the internet; it comes from a conversation with your partner about what feels true to both of you. Whether it’s an elopement, an intimate wedding, or a traditional celebration, each path is beautiful, and each can (and should) be deeply personal

EDUCATIONAL

Elopement vs. Wedding vs. Intimate Wedding

One of the most exciting parts of choosing to elope is that you get to make your own rules. No pressure, no traditions dictating your day—just a celebration designed around you. But here’s something I’ve learned after years of photographing couples around the world: even the most intimate weddings benefit from a thoughtful elopement timeline to keep the day flowing smoothly.

Elopement Timeline: A Photographer’s Guide

When it comes to your wedding day, you only get one chance to capture it. That’s why choosing the right destination elopement photographer matters so much. The flowers will fade, the cake will be eaten, but your photos will outlive everything; they’re the one thing you’ll hold onto forever.

"I could not have asked for a better photographer to trust for my wedding. Nicole was super easy to work with, and adapted well to the whirlwind of chaos that was our wedding day."

ANNA + DENNIS

"She is truly professional, responsive and kind. She was great to work with. The photos from our wedding are gorgeous and she made my husband and our families feel very comfortable during the whole process. She took creative and less cookie cutter type photos which is exactly what I wanted. You won’t regret committing to her as your wedding photographer!"

ROSITA + JERRY

"Nicole was such an amazing photographer for our elopement. She was there super early and put us all at ease. She was so thoughtful and made the day so much fun. She went above and beyond by helping us with some last minute logistics and were such a nice presence at the event. And most importantly, our wedding photos were beyond gorgeous!"

JENNIFER + MICHAEL

"Nicole was the best! We went in not really knowing any photographers in NYC and when we saw her website, we were instantly excited. From there it was a delight as she prepped us and answered every question and even gave suggestions/feedback. We'd highly recommend her whether for engagement photos, wedding photos or any occasion you may want incredible, high quality photographs"

Travel Dates

Traveling the world to photograph love stories still feels surreal to me—I pinch myself every time I board a plane with my cameras in hand.

If you’ve dreamed of an elopement in Patagonia or a destination wedding abroad, I’d love to help make it real. I photograph intimate celebrations across Argentina, throughout Patagonia, and anywhere in the world where love leads.

Below is my 2025 travel calendar. If your plans align with one of these destinations, it makes working together even simpler. And if your dream place isn’t listed, reach out—I’m always open to adding new chapters to my journey.

Wherever you choose to say “I do”—Patagonia, Europe, the US, or somewhere entirely unexpected—I’d be honored to be there, documenting it as it unfolds.

New York, USA

Where it all began! I launched my photography business in New York in 2019, capturing everything from grand city weddings to intimate celebrations in Upstate NY, Long Island, Montauk, and The Hamptons. I’ve also collaborated with other talented photographers here—NY will always feel like home.


Italy

Visiting Milan and the Dolomites for the first time in August 2025—can’t wait to experience the romance and adventure of Italy!

Paris

I’ve visited Paris on vacation and it stole my heart. It’s on my bucket list to photograph a love story here—maybe yours?

Puerto Rico

Photographed an unforgettable destination wedding here—sun, sand, and so much love. I hope to return for more celebrations!

Washington State

I lived here for two years and fell in love with the moody mountains (yes, Twilight vibes!). I’ve worked in Manzanita, Mount Rainier National Park and Olympic National Park. and adore the Pacific Northwest’s wild spirit.

Spain

From Madrid to the south, I’ve explored Spain on multiple trips. I know the area well and am dreaming of the day I get to capture a wedding in this beautiful country!

Chile

Torres del Paine is one of the most awe-inspiring places I’ve ever worked. Patagonia’s wild beauty never ceases to amaze me.

Argentina

Raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina is where my heart belongs. I know the culture, the language, and the hidden gems of this vast country—from the vibrant city to the wild beauty of Patagonia and the vineyards of Mendoza.

Western USA (Utah, Nevada & Wyoming)

Every year, I travel to Las Vegas for WPPI—an educational photography convention where I invest in learning, updating my gear, and improving my services for couples like you. While there, I’ve also created beautiful shoots in Utah’s red rock landscapes and captured love in the stunning Grand Tetons of Wyoming. This region inspires my craft in every way—through nature, education, and storytelling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I believe every love story deserves my full attention. That’s why I only take on a limited number of weddings and elopements each year. It gives me the space to plan with you, photograph with presence, and edit with care. No two celebrations are the same, and I want to make sure your photos feel as personal and unique as your story.

Your memories mean the world to me, and I treat them with the same care I’d want for my own. I use two camera bodies, each with dual memory cards, so every image is backed up as it’s taken. When I get home, I save everything to multiple hard drives and also upload a raw copy to the cloud. Your photos are protected every step of the way.

Elopements have my heart, but I also love photographing intimate weddings. For me, it’s never about the size of the guest list, it’s about the intention behind the day. Whether it’s just the two of you on a mountaintop, or fifty of your closest people gathered in a vineyard, I’m here for the kind of love that feels real and true.

Your photographer should feel like a friend, not just another vendor. That’s why our first call is all about connection, getting to know you, hearing about your story, and seeing if we click. There are so many talented photographers out there, but what matters most is finding someone you trust and feel comfortable with. If that’s me, I’ll be by your side to support you and to capture your story in a way that feels natural.

Once we’ve connected and you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send over a personalized proposal and contract. To secure your date, a 40% retainer is required, with the remaining balance due closer to your wedding. My goal is to keep the process transparent and straightforward, so you can focus on what really matters: the joy of planning your celebration.

Yes. I photograph weddings and elopements across Argentina, the US, Europe, and beyond. Make sure to check my travel calendar; if I’m already in your location, you won’t need to cover any travel fees. And if your dream spot isn’t listed but happens to be on my bucket list, let’s talk. I love adding new adventures, and together we can make it happen.
